UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

HERE COMES GEORGIE produced the best performance of his career when second over an extended 2m3f at Catterick last time and considering how well he travelled, the step back in distance shouldn't be an issue. The five-year-old looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. Leitrim Chief returns from a long absence after undergoing wind surgery and he warrants a market check, while point-to-point winner Hollington makes the most appeal of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Here Comes Georgie 2nd Leitrim Chief 3rd Hollington

JOIE DE VIVRE struck by just under four lengths over 2m5f here last month and she has only been raised 4lb for that display. The daughter of Mastercraftsman remains well-treated off her current mark and she could prove very hard to beat on her follow-up bid. Spot On Soph has earned back-to-back seconds in this grade and she may go well off 2lb higher than the latest of those efforts, while Midnight Shuffle is another to note on her return.
Prediction : 1st Joie De Vivre 2nd Spot On Soph 3rd Midnight Shuffle

EL JEFE accounted for Coup De Gold (second) and Robin Goodfellow (third) when recording a double over C&D last time. The six-year-old has a 7lb penalty to carry but that's unlikely to prevent him from making it a hat-trick. Calevade has also finished behind the selection over C&D recently and could get closer now that he is 12lb better off, while Beat Box isn't ruled out after his second at Hexham last month.
Prediction : 1st El Jefe 2nd Calevade 3rd Beat Box

LARGY NIGHTS finished 12 lengths in front of Ballylinch (second) when winning over C&D 22 days ago and, with the in-form Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle, another bold bid can be expected. Ballylinch and Skyhill (third) can feasibly get closer to the selection on these revised terms, but Irish-raider Faith Loving is lightly raced under Rules and may provide the selection with the sternest challenge this time.
Prediction : 1st Largy Nights 2nd Faith Loving 3rd Ballylinch

ROWDY ROMEO offers strong appeal dropping back into maiden company after a respectable fifth-placed finish in a competitive handicap at Navan last month. Given this looks to be a much easier task, the Caroline McCaldin-trained gelding is readily suggested as the one to be with here. Halpha Soleil has some course experience and can give the selection the most to think about, while point-to-point winner Young Jack is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Rowdy Romeo 2nd Halpha Soleil 3rd Young Jack

In a very moderate event it is hard to oppose BEBSIDE BANTER, who clearly improved for a wind operation over the summer judging by his C&D success last month. A 7lb rise for that win would be a slight concern but it is very hard to make a case for anything against him here. Carrigeen Castle edges out Just Hannah to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bebside Banter 2nd Carrigeen Castle 3rd Just Hannah

CASTLE IVERS was purchased for 95,000 pounds after winning his sole start between the flags in Ireland in May and Olly Murphy has found the four-year-old an ideal opportunity to make a winning start under Rules. Josie Alice progressed well in point-to-points and should not be discounted, while Walkingoneggshells is entitled to improve for his first start under Rules at Hereford recently.
Prediction : 1st Castle Ivers 2nd Josie Alice 3rd Walkingoneggshells
