UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

RECOUP won on his hurdling debut at Ludlow in October but failed to build on that when well beaten at Musselburgh last month. However, with the benefit of a subsequent wind operation and application of first-time cheekpieces, the five-year-old can be expected to bounce back. Tedtwo has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sea Grey and Graze On Phoenix compete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Recoup 2nd Tedtwo 3rd Sea Grey

EVERYONESACRITIC put in a career-best effort when winning on his handicap debut over 2m4f at Musselburgh last month. With more improvement likely, a 5lb rise may vastly underestimate the unexposed five-year-old. Celestial Fashion may have to settle for the runner-up position once again, although she should not be underestimated. The rest all have questions to answer but Milajess appears to be the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Everyonesacritic 2nd Celestial Fashion 3rd Milajess

SIX ONE NINE arrives here on the back of two impressive victories at Newcastle in recent months and even a 7lb rise for the latest of those wins may not be enough to stop him now. That said, Blue Bear won well last time and remains open to improvement, while Rocco Storm and Templier also make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Six One Nine 2nd Blue Bear 3rd Rocco Storm

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Doncaster nine days ago, LADRONNE escapes a penalty for landing that conditional jockeys' contest and must hold every chance of following up as a result. The extra three furlongs may bring about further improvement and he is narrowly preferred to the consistent Croagh Patrick, who has been runner-up on each of his last four starts, while Deep Charm is another to note, if bouncing back to the form of his narrow defeat at Kelso in January.
Prediction : 1st Ladronne 2nd Croagh Patrick 3rd Deep Charm

Now that the penny has dropped for FINAL EDGAR after a taking success over C&D last month, there should be more to come from the son of Imperial Monarch on his handicap debut. The six-year-old can uphold form with Trailblazer (second) from that contest, despite being 3lb worse off at the weights when you take into account William Maggs' 7lb claim. A winner over C&D last November, El Jefe must also enter calculations, along with Very Excellent.
Prediction : 1st Final Edgar 2nd Trailblazer 3rd El Jefe

A determined winner on her debut at Newcastle in January, THATSWHATSHESAID will find life tougher under a 7lb penalty, but she looks a filly open to plenty of improvement and this may be another ideal opportunity. Well beaten in second on debut at Carlisle, Holly Bird should come on for that and she is respected, along with newcomers Gale Mahler and Positivia, who should be monitored for support in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Thatswhatshesaid 2nd Holly Bird 3rd Gale Mahler
