UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

CAMARRATE has improved with each start over hurdles thus far, showing a likeable attitude when battling to success at Fakenham last time. If able to take another step in the right direction, he could follow up under a penalty. Oscar Doodle posted a solid third-placed effort on his hurdling debut over C&D in February and has twice run well on the level at Newcastle since. He must enter calculations, while course bumper winner Vanilla Dancer and the returning Byron Hill are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Camarrate 2nd Oscar Doodle 3rd Vanilla Dancer

Not many of these arrive in good form, but that can't be said of SIX ONE NINE, who has won three of his last four outings. The nine-year-old is versatile in terms of both trip and ground and he won well enough over 2m4f at Newcastle last time to suggest that he can defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. Tropical Talent took a step forward at Warwick and may improve again for the fitting of a tongue-tie, while past C&D scorer Blue Bear cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Six One Nine 2nd Tropical Talent 3rd Blue Bear

MRS TABITHA left her three previous hurdling performances well behind when scoring comfortably on her handicap debut at Ludlow, justifying strong market support in the process. A 7lb rise for that success is fair and she looks like the one they all have to beat. Cailin Dearg edged out a subsequent winner over C&D in February and must be respected, as must the dropped-in-class Spot On Soph. Handicap newcomers Miss Arabella and Barrons Land are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Tabitha 2nd Cailin Dearg 3rd Spot On Soph

Having finished a respectable second on his stable bow at Hexham last month, GANDHI MAKER ticks plenty of the right boxes. Philip Kirby's charge returns to the scene of his last victory and this greater emphasis on stamina could see him regain the winning thread. Although Ladronne arrives in good heart, this drop in distance may count against the veteran and a bigger threat may emerge from C&D scorer Hauraki Gulf.
Prediction : 1st Gandhi Maker 2nd Hauraki Gulf 3rd Ladronne

BOYNESIDE lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive Plaisir Des Flos (now rated 29lb higher) too strong over 2m4f here in March. Racing off the same mark, a breakthrough victory could await the five-year-old, with this drop in distance expected to suit. For Three ended his 2023 campaign with a respectable fourth at Newcastle and Sam England's gelding may put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of La Quarite.
Prediction : 1st Boyneside 2nd For Three 3rd La Quarite

COPPER FOX was not disgraced when a close fourth over 2m3f at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may bring about the required improvement to score here. Lucky Lover Boy showed more promise on his most recent outing and should not be discounted, while Hide Out and Iolani are others who could make the frame.
Prediction : 1st Copper Fox 2nd Lucky Lover Boy 3rd Hide Out

SAXON STAR disappointed at Kempton in March but Brian Ellison's filly was narrowly denied when third on her racecourse bow at Musselburgh the previous month. With that in mind, the four-year-old can be given another chance in this company. Leader Wing and Wiltshire Wonder are entitled to improve for their debuts and should not be discounted, while any market support for Masterkey would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Saxon Star 2nd Leader Wing 3rd Wiltshire Wonder
