UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

PLANTAROMA lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up to a potentially smart sort on her hurdles debut at Chepstow last month and, with that experience under her belt, she may prove tough to stop here. Point-to-point winner Idaho Valley shaped with promise when third on his timber bow at Carlisle and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Recent C&D runner-up Kingston Narcissus completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Plantaroma 2nd Idaho Valley 3rd Kingston Narcissus

Although his jumping could do with some brushing up, there is no doubting that triple bumper winner TAKT DE TOUQUES possesses a fair amount of ability. The five-year-old was far from disgraced when runner-up on his hurdles bow at Aintree and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to open his account in this discipline. Winning pointer Ridin Solo is a potential improver now racing over 2m4f under Rules and he may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Kalista Love.
Prediction : 1st Takt De Touques 2nd Ridin Solo 3rd Kalista Love

Old Page outjumped his rivals when scoring at the 29th time of asking under Rules over C&D last month. David Thompson's charge warrants respect racing off just 2lb higher, but it could be worth taking a punt on the returning EVEQUE. The veteran is only 4lb higher than for his comfortable victory here in January and a break may have freshened him up. Christian Williams' pair Cave Article and Prince Cleni are others to consider and the market should prove informative.
Prediction : 1st Eveque 2nd Old Page 3rd Cave Article

CLEAN GETAWAY has been a revelation in recent months, with four consecutive victories over hurdles and fences at this course. Philip Kirby's gelding is reverting to timber off a 2lb lower mark than his chase win here 10 days ago and the five-timer is on. Foster's Fortune was narrowly denied by a subsequent scorer over C&D last month and another good account can be expected, despite a 5lb rise making life more difficult. Lightening Company arrives fit from the Flat and is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Clean Getaway 2nd Fosters Fortune 3rd Lightening Company

Imperial Rule has to be of interest following his two wins last month, but a new career-high mark demands more from him. With that in mind, preference is for TREATY BOY, who put in a promising effort when third at Carlisle last time and he arrives here 1lb lower. Pure Surf and The Paddy Pie are others who are capable of going well.
Prediction : 1st Treaty Boy 2nd Imperial Rule 3rd Pure Surf

LADY KLUCK was well held when filling third place on her Rules debut at Ludlow in October, but that was still a promising effort. Dan Skelton's filly won between the flags in Ireland earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see her play a leading role here. Gallant Approach merits consideration on his return to action, while any market support for Noble George would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Lady Kluck 2nd Gallant Approach 3rd Noble George
