UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

PADDYS POLICY may have been well beaten at Bangor but he sets the standard on his previous success at Sedgefield, where he made all to score comfortably. Celestial Reign showed some ability on the level and could be interesting on his first run for Micky Hammond. Lawmans Blis makes his second appearance since returning to the in-form Jennie Candlish team and cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Paddys Policy 2nd Celestial Reign 3rd Lawmans Blis

A chance can be taken on BENEFIT BEN to bounce back to the form of his easy success over C&D, having subsequently disappointed over shorter at Newcastle. Danny McMenamin returning to the saddle is a plus and he is narrowly preferred to Scorsese, who showed more for in-form connections when fourth at Exeter. A recruit from the Irish point-to-point scene, Scar Bridge is likely to improve for her first run in this sphere and may relish the step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Benefit Ben 2nd Scorsese 3rd Scar Bridge

Caught close home at Doncaster, SIBERIAN STAR looks the one to beat off just 1lb higher, with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. The step up in trip should not inconvenience him and it may be Ballydisco who gives him the most to think about, having bounced back to form with a placed effort at Ayr. Progressive in hunter chases last season, Yippee Ki Yay is proven over this distance and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Siberian Star 2nd Ballydisco 3rd Yippee Ki Yay

Of the three last-time-out winners, MAURA JEANNE is suggested as the principal player on the back of cosily landing a deeper race at Ayr. Alan Doyle retains the ride and another bold bid is expected, despite an 8lb higher mark. Musique De Fee jumped a bit left, but was still a wide-margin winner at Hereford. Going left-handed could prompt more, but an 11lb rise does seem harsh. Born In The West is open to improvement, but he has a mile further to travel than for his Catterick victory.
Prediction : 1st Maura Jeanne 2nd Musique De Fee 3rd Born In The West

Considering the saddle slipped early, Pilgrims King posted a commendable effort to go in over the extended 2m3f here and rates a player off just 4lb higher. However, this course also brings the best out of TOM CREEN, who is just 1lb higher than when he struck at the Boxing Day fixture. Furthermore, as a previous C&D winner with juice in the ground, Sam England's 10-year-old ticks all the right boxes. The hat-trick seeking The Paddy Pie and No But I Will complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tom Creen 2nd Pilgrims King 3rd The Paddy Pie

A C&D winner on his return from the sidelines, TELHIMLISTEN was unlucky not to back up that success when headed near the finish over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton. Reverting to this trip could be a key factor and the joint top-weight merits serious thought. His stable companion Caldwell helps Jennie Candlish play a strong hand, while Inferno Sacree and unexposed Southwell scorer Synchronist are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Telhimlisten 2nd Caldwell 3rd Inferno Sacree
