UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

RECOUP beat a subsequent winner on his hurdling debut over 2m at Ludlow last month and he merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. What A Johnny is also a previous winner over obstacles and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Coup De Coeur and Jake Stevens should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Recoup 2nd What A Johnny 3rd Coup De Coeur

ONESTEPATATIME won over C&D earlier in the month and the John Wainwright-trained mare merits plenty of respect off just a 4lb higher mark here. Reign Suepreme also got his head in front over this track and trip last time and he has to be of interest as a result, while Storm Tiger should not be underestimated on his return to action.
Prediction : 1st Onestepatatime 2nd Reign Suepreme 3rd Storm Tiger

HARPER VALLEY won a novice hurdle at Hexham in May when last seen and that effort suggests that he can be successful in a race of this nature off a mark of 105. Hashtag Boum failed to fire on her most recent outing but it is far too soon to be writing her off, especially in an event as modest as this. Others to consider are Ashington and Hartur D'oudairies.
Prediction : 1st Harper Valley 2nd Hashtag Boum 3rd Ashington

Although course winner SIX ONE NINE failed to get his head in front during his last campaign, he posted several creditable efforts in defeat and could be worth chancing on his reappearance. Guillaume made a satisfactory return to action when fourth at Doncaster and he is also worthy of consideration, along with Take Centre Stage, who offered enough promise on his fourth-placed chase debut at Kelso to suggest he is up to winning at this level.
Prediction : 1st Six One Nine 2nd Guillaume 3rd Take Centre Stage

Whitehaven was a useful performer on the Flat and offered enough in three qualifying runs over hurdles to suggest that his opening mark of 99 is workable in this sphere. Donald McCain's gelding warrants respect off top weight but slight preference is for FOR THREE, who may have made his move too soon when collared in the closing stages over C&D and a 4lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Subsequent winner El Jefe was behind in third that day and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st For Three 2nd Whitehaven 3rd El Jefe

BALLYBEG BOSS was turned over at even-money in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle when last sighted, but he can gain compensation on his first start over the larger obstacles. Donald McCain's five-year-old was found to be lame on that occasion and having been given plenty of time to recover, he can shed his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking under Rules. Zuckerberg may have a fitness edge and is feared most, despite having to defy a 2lb rise for his second over C&D. Beat The Edge should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Ballybeg Boss 2nd Zuckerberg 3rd Beat The Edge

DEEP STRATO impressed when scoring in facile fashion in a point-to-point at Corbridge back in the spring and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules. Donald McCain's recruit is a half-brother to smart chaser Visionarian and appears a nice prospect. The biggest danger might be Vanilla Dancer, who was a modest third on debut over C&D but improvement can be expected. Diamond Geezer completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Deep Strato 2nd Vanilla Dancer 3rd Diamond Geezer
