Sedgefield 13:55 - Fly Home Harry

Fly Home Harry has yet to make much of an impact over hurdles, finishing well beaten on all three starts to date, but we know that he possesses ability based on his bumper exploits, and he could prove to be a different proposition now sent handicapping. Fly Home Harry showed fairly useful form in bumpers, winning on two occasions and thought good enough to contest the Aintree bumper, so it would be little surprise were he to prove far too good for his rivals off this lowly mark.

Sedgefield 15:35 - Riskier

Riskier arrives here at the top of his game having gone close the last twice and he can gain a deserved victory. Riskier is on a long losing run at present but he hasn't been doing a lot wrong and, though he's clearly not got much in hand over the handicapper, he can be relied upon to give his running, which should ensure he goes close. 

Sedgefield 16:05 - Astaroland

Astaroland has yet to win, but he's less exposed than many of these and arrives on the back of his best effort yet, so has to be given a good chance. It's no coincidence that Astaroland's best performance came after his yard had emerged from a spell in the doldrums, and he could have a bit more to offer with his trainer now going better than she has for a while.
