UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

JAXLIGHT rattled the crossbar over C&D in August and has attracted market support on both outings since - when striking at Southwell and finishing fifth at Uttoxeter last month. Another big run could be on the cards from Justin Landy's seven-year-old. Snowed In drops back from 2m2f after picking up minor money at Kelso and can fight it out with Highway Star, who has dropped to a workable mark, for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Jaxlight 2nd Snowed In 3rd Highway Star

JATILUWIH signed off last season with novice hurdle victories at Ludlow and Chepstow over 2m5f and 2m3f and is expected to remain competitive over this intermediate trip if match-fit on his comeback. Lord Roccoco steps up from 2m after scoring at Hexham this summer and is feared most, though any money for Sam England's new recruit Going Mobile, who debuts under Rules, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Jatiluwih 2nd Lord Roccoco 3rd Going Mobile

TONTO'S SPIRIT bounced back from his defeat on the Flat when striking over fences at Cartmel in August and has strong claims of landing a third chase victory here. Nietzsche is sporting first-time cheekpieces as he attempts to atone for an early Kelso mishap, and he makes plenty of appeal on his Perth victory back in July. Point-to-point and dual hurdles winner Saint Freule is considered the pick of the other pair.
Prediction : 1st Tontos Spirit 2nd Nietzsche 3rd Saint Freule

SNOOKERED bolted up by nine lengths over C&D just under four weeks ago and if he brings that level of form to the table again, he has every chance of defying a 6lb rise. Prancing Oscar has claims if building on his Hexham second, while any money for Lucky Icon, who completed a quickfire brace in Ireland before joining Phil Kirby and having a run on the Flat at Carlisle in August, would be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Snookered 2nd Prancing Oscar 3rd Lucky Icon

MURPHY'S LAW scored in emphatic fashion by 18 lengths at Perth last week and providing he can handle the quick turnaround, is likely to be well treated under a 7lb penalty. Dual C&D winner Instant Replay is capable of going close on his first start of the season, while Quick Brew could be in the mix with a clear round having unseated on his last couple of starts at Hexham.
Prediction : 1st Murphys Law 2nd Instant Replay 3rd Quick Brew

CHANCEITON has been a model of consistency throughout the summer and, following a string of narrow defeats, returned to winning form in a Perth handicap chase last week. Connections opt to turn him out quickly over timber, where he is 5lb lower, and he could prove too strong for his rivals. Simply Mani might benefit from a recent wind operation having found some form again on his last couple of starts. Handy Hollow and Little Millie complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Chanceiton 2nd Simply Mani 3rd Handy Hollow

DALKINGSTOWN represents a solid level of bumper form having acquitted himself well in three attempts for Peter Bowen, all at Worcester, and he arrives having not been disgraced in trying to give 7lb to a Nigel Twiston-Davies newcomer. Definite Warrior cost 40,000 pounds following a 12-length success in his third point-to-point. He has to enter calculations along with Order Of Thistle, who finished fourth on his first start at Kelso in February. Enzillerya could take a big step forward from his debut here last December.
Prediction : 1st Dalkingstown 2nd Definite Warrior 3rd Order Of Thistle
