A Sedgefield Nap and Next Best from Timeform
Sedgefield Nap - 14:24 - Back Big Bee Hive
Big Bee Hive showed ability in three starts over hurdles for this yard and improved further to make a winning start over fences over a slightly shorter trip at this course 16 days ago.
He was well backed and ridden with more restraint that previously, scoring in the style of one who should have plenty more to offer in this sphere.
The handicapper has raised him 7 lb in the weights, but that shouldn't be enough to stop him, while he will also be well suited by this step up in trip
Sedgefield Next Best - 15:30 - Back Fortuitous Find
Fortuitous Find is a winning pointer and his three runs over hurdles probably didn't get to the bottom of him, given plenty to do on each occasion, but there is reason to think he will do better in this sphere given his pointing background,
Therefore, he's worth chancing making a quick switch to chasing for his handicap debut in what doesn't look a deep race, and from what could prove a lenient mark.
