UK Horse Racing Tips: Sedgefield

EARNEST BELIEF has undergone wind surgery since a respectable third at Worcester in July. Given he lost a shoe during that race, the performance can upgraded and this could be a good time to catch the low-mileage four-year-old. The consistent Way Maker is a strong threat to the selection and this marginal step up in trip should suit the son of Walk In The Park. There might be more to come from Rock Armour on just his second start over hurdles and he is speculatively championed for third place.
Prediction : 1st Earnest Belief 2nd Way Maker 3rd Rock Armour

Including a win on the Flat at Catterick last month, STELLARMASTERPIECE has won her last four starts and is very hard to overlook in a modest event such as this. The handicapper has taken notice, though, and an 8lb rise for her latest hurdles success obviously demands more from the Micky Hammond-trained mare. Curious Mrs Fox and Yanka Blue look best placed to take advantage should the selection falter.
Prediction : 1st Stellarmasterpiece 2nd Curious Mrs Fox 3rd Yanka Blue

GLENMALURE FLYER has won two of her three starts for Dan Skelton and conceding weight all round in this company might not be enough to prevent the progressive mare from adding to her tally. Limerick Leader must shoulder a 7lb penalty for winning at Bangor last Friday and is potential improver over this longer trip, while similar comments apply to Thank You Blue, who was a good second over these fences on his most recent start.
Prediction : 1st Glenmalure Flyer 2nd Limerick Leader 3rd Thank You Blue

Rain-softened ground conditions might have counted against GETAWAY JEWEL when unable to follow up on his Worcester victory at Cartmel recently. The veteran is still more than capable at this level and often runs well here. Dexter finished third to the selection three weeks ago and a 1lb nudge up in the handicap shouldn't prevent another solid effort, while American Empire is a potential improver on his fencing bow.
Prediction : 1st Getaway Jewel 2nd Dexter 3rd American Empire

Having been denied by just a short head over 2m1f here recently, Glory And Honour is high on the shortlist. Although a return to 2m4f shouldn't pose any issues for the Elusive Pimpernel gelding, LORIKO looks more progressive. The five-year-old has scored three times this season and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Ladies Day is having only her second start in handicap company and isn't easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Loriko 2nd Glory And Honour 3rd Ladies Day

East Eagle bounced back to form with a bloodless victory at Stratford in July and is likely to prove popular in his follow-up bid. However, a 6lb rise in the handicap demands another career best from the six-year-old and MORO ROCK might be the value. Sara Ender's charge has endured an interrupted campaign, but is now 1lb below his last winning mark and wasn't disgraced at this venue in April. Lipstick Traces is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moro Rock 2nd East Eagle 3rd Lipstick Traces

PERGAMON has been in fantastic form in this discipline and a four-timer could be on the horizon. A 2lb rise in the handicap for his game victory at Perth in July looks fair and he may have enough in the tank to deny King Ulanda a brace. The six-year-old has been mixing it up between timber and fences and another good showing is forecast. Max Of Stars can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Pergamon 2nd King Ulanda 3rd Max Of Stars
