UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

Jennie Candlish has done a terrific job with her placing of TELHIMLISTEN, who arrives in search of a five-timer having rattled off four quickfire hurdles victories. He lacks the chasing experience of his sole rival Grey Skies, but the son of Fame And Glory receives plenty of weight and he should be difficult to beat if taking to this new discipline.
Prediction : 1st Telhimlisten 2nd Grey Skies 3rd null

It's difficult to oppose FORCING BULL, who bolted up over C&D under similar conditions nine days ago. Donald McCain's gelding should have the ability required to give weight away to his rivals, with Mr Hailstone fancied to prove the most likely challenger. Wind surgery could aid the chances of National Charter, though she'll need to improve on what she's shown so far.
Prediction : 1st Forcing Bull 2nd Mr Hailstone 3rd National Charter

Hold Up La Colmine has been running to a consistent level in maiden company but although he could improve further now sent into handicaps, HASHTAG BOUM edges the vote. Ruth Jefferson's mare ran on to hit the frame over 2m1f at Newcastle last month and progress would appear to be on the cards now upped in trip. Coup De Gold can chase them home, ahead of Glascar More.
Prediction : 1st Hashtag Boum 2nd Hold Up La Colmine 3rd Coup De Gold

With just the four runners declared, marginal preference is for the class-dropping WAKE UP EARLY, who finished four and a half lengths back in second over 3m1f at Wincanton last month. He is entitled to improve at this level and can bounce back to winning form. Captain Tommy could come on from his seasonal debut at Kempton back in December and warrants a market check following wind surgery. Sir Apollo completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wake Up Early 2nd Captain Tommy 3rd Sir Apollo

HILNAMIX seemed to take to a first-time visor when keeping on to score by five lengths over 3m1f on his handicap debut at Plumpton, and a longer trip looks worth exploring based on the nature of that win. The headgear is retained and he is preferred to Thatbeatsbanagher, who lost little in defeat over C&D most recently. Ailes D'amour has to enter the equation as well.
Prediction : 1st Hilnamix 2nd Thatbeatsbanagher 3rd Ailes Damour

TRAC showed enough pace over further here last time out to suggest that dropping in trip should not inconvenience him as he looks to continue his excellent run of form. The six-year-old has won on soft ground in the past and he should have too much for the resurgent Ex S'elance, who did it nicely at Hexham last week. Blue Hawaii is another capable sort not to be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Trac 2nd Ex Selance 3rd Blue Hawaii

EDGAR ALLAN POE may have disappointed at Catterick last time out, but he made the frame over C&D before that and conditions look to be in his favour as he aims to get back to winning ways. Horn Cape is entitled to improve from his first run for the Ben Haslam team and must enter calculations, alongside Rainbow Jet, who arrives on the back of wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Edgar Allan Poe 2nd Horn Cape 3rd Rainbow Jet
