UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

SCRIPTWRITER was pitched at Group 3 level twice during his time with Aidan O'Brien and will be hard to beat if he can adapt to hurdling at the first time of asking. Eclairant Le Monde is entitled to step forward from her first start over timber at Cartmel and she may be the biggest threat to the selection. My Brother Jack boasts C&D experience and could pick up the pieces if the likely market principles suffer any jumping mishaps.
Prediction : 1st Scriptwriter 2nd Eclairant Le Monde 3rd My Brother Jack

RAECIUS FELIX, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, has taken on and beaten a stronger calibre of opponent lately and is very hard to oppose in his bid for a hat-trick of straight wins. Bari Breeze is worth a try at this distance, but needs to take a step forward from his debut run over fences at the end of last season. Therefore, Myburg, whose yard traditionally tends to do well with young chasers at this track, is suggested as a more intriguing alternative on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Raecius Felix 2nd Myburg 3rd Bari Breeze

The C&D experience held by ATOMIC ANGEL will be a vital tool to draw upon in the closing stages. The selection gets lumps of weight from the in-form Easy Bucks and the concession of 20lb could be the undoing of the latter on this occasion. Ballintogher Boy also has C&D experience and rates as a big threat, while Chase The Wind is respected after a return to form when second over 3m at Market Rasen last month.
Prediction : 1st Atomic Angel 2nd Easy Bucks 3rd Ballintogher Boy

Light Em Up Nigel sets the standard on what he has shown so far and the gelding is more than capable of making his presence felt, but a chance is taken on SPIRIT OF REGULUS. Donald McCain's charge was well fancied on his debut when finishing fourth in a bumper at Bangor and he could take a step forward over timber. Three Platoon is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Regulus 2nd Light Em Up Nigel 3rd Three Platoon

This looks an open contest with many arriving in good form, so only a tentative vote can go to RADDLE AND HUM. The eight-year-old has progressed since being given wind surgery in June and though she is on a career-high mark, there could be more to come. Storm Lorenzo cruised to success at Hexham last month and he makes obvious appeal, especially if the first-time visor can eke out further improvement. Bbold and All About Joe can battle it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Raddle And Hum 2nd Storm Lorenzo 3rd Bbold

FINISK RIVER has been in tremendous form over the last couple of months and there is no reason to suggest why he can't bring up the hat-trick. A 4lb rise for a comfortable success at Worcester could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of course specialist Hajey, who has won two of his last three here. Similar comments apply to Kajaki, who takes a rise in class following his narrow win over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Finisk River 2nd Hajey 3rd Kajaki

SEA POEM shaped with promise when third on her debut at Market Rasen in July and there should be plenty of improvement forthcoming here. The booking of Brian Hughes is another plus and she can get off the mark for her in-form connections, with Ebonello looking best placed to chase her home following a pair of creditable placed efforts to begin her career. Of the newcomers, Luna Aoife stands out with a pedigree that has her related to a couple of bumper winners.
Prediction : 1st Sea Poem 2nd Ebonello 3rd Luna Aoife
