UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

Sue Smith's long wait for a winner ended on Sunday when she had a double at Uttoxeter, and Flamboyant Joyaux is likely to be involved here after finishing third at 33-1 at this venue 12 days ago. Barrowlands wasn't disgraced when third at Hereford earlier this month but may require further, and a chance can be taken on EMMA LAMB, who makes her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland. The five-year-old receives a 7lb mares' allowance and the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies catches the eye.
Prediction : 1st Emma Lamb 2nd Flamboyant Joyaux 3rd Barrowlands

A six-time winner here, Roxyfet is back on his last winning mark but needs to bounce back from a poor effort at this venue 19 days ago, while Istimraar returned to form when second at Musselburgh three weeks ago but probably wouldn't want any more rain to arrive. The safest option in this field might be to side with recent course second JOLIE CRICKETTE, who shouldn't mind this drop in distance. She has only raced twice since May 2018 but looks ready to make up for lost time.
Prediction : 1st Jolie Crickette 2nd Istimraar 3rd Roxyfet

Another Emotion shaped as though he needed the experience on his chasing debut at Chepstow four weeks ago and is expected to take a big leap forward off what is a fair mark of 117, while his former stablemate Sandhurst Lad, now with Alison Hamilton, should feel more at home now upped in trip. LATE DATE likes it here and won well over C&D 19 days ago, when jumping well, and would be hard to beat if in the same mood, despite a 5lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Late Date 2nd Another Emotion 3rd Sandhurst Lad

INDUNO has improved between runs in bumpers for David Pipe and is expected to give a good account of himself on these terms now debuting over hurdles. The Steward needs to leave behind his last run at Ayr but a return to the sort of form that saw him run away with a Cartmel handicap hurdle in August would put him firmly in the mix. The pick of the remainder may be point winner Presentandcounting, who debuts under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Induno 2nd The Steward 3rd Presentandcounting

TONTO'S SPIRIT built on his Cartmel victory in August with another front-running success in novice company here last month and is expected to hold his own now moving into a handicap. The King Of May is rated 6lb higher than when striking at Carlisle last month but is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Joke Dancer is respected for a stable who ended a barren spell with two winners over the weekend.
Prediction : 1st Tontos Spirit 2nd The King Of May 3rd Joke Dancer

PARICOLOR returned a nine-length winner on his first handicap start in the UK at Fakenham last week and rates the one to beat now turned out under a 7lb penalty. Dr Richard Kimble is worth a market check now sent back over timber, having been active on the Flat this year, though the main danger may be Millie The Minx, a consistent C&D winner who ran with credit on her first run following wind surgery here 12 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Paricolor 2nd Millie The Minx 3rd Dr Richard Kimble
