Sedgefield, 15.40 - Back Tom Creen @ 9/110.00
With five course wins over fences to his name already, Tom Creen is always on the radar when Sedgefield stage a card.
The course stalwart tackles a new trip today which maybe off putting for some, but a dosage index score of 0.75 (the lower figure, the more stamina in the pedigree) suggests this trip might be within his remit so he could be worth chancing at a large enough price.
Time may tell that the selection faced a near impossible task last time at today's venue trying to match Scorsese, especially as that rival posted a fantastic effort in a well-contested novices' handicap chase at Cheltenham yesterday.
The son of Yeats has only finished out of the first three once in nine starts in Class 5 company so his class may ensure he's on the scene here, even over a trip he's yet to excel at.

Sedgefield, 15.40 - Back Iturgeon Du Breuil each-way @ 22/123.00
Backing Iturgeon Du Breuil requires a sizeable leap of faith, but there was enough in his performance over course and distance before Christmas to suggest he is capable of making the first four here at a price.
The Sportsbook offer that concession which could be worth taking despite the fact the eight-year-old is 0-24 across all codes.
His latest effort indicated that a small handicap like this could fall his way and a recent wind operation may be the catalyst required to see him post a career best with his effectiveness at the track confirmed.
