1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +61%) Benefit Ben		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(6) Benefit Ben 11/2, 14/1, possibly failed to stay when ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good) 14 days ago. Reverts to hurdling back over a shorter trip in a first-time visor. Safely held in two chases last month; now back hurdling with new headgear tried.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 -5%) Born In The West		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(3) Born In The West 7/2, Point winner who looks to have been brought along with low-grade handicaps in mind and all the more interesting if supported. Not beaten far in three qualifying races and should have improvement to come in handicaps.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +20%) Let's Go Joe		2 2/1(+20%)																															(1) Let's Go Joe 2/1, Ended a losing sequence with a career best in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) in November. Seemed stretched by the step up to 3m at Wetherby last time but did enough to suggest he remains in good form. Looked stretched by 3m last time; player if judged on 2m3f win two starts ago.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 -22%) Bridgetjoans		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(7) Bridgetjoans 11/2, Confirmed return to form when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Enters calculations. 0-12 over hurdles but has posted two good efforts since cheekpieces were added; a possible.
5th	9 5th (9) (125/1 -213%) Horizon Dove		125 125/1(-213%)																															(9) Horizon Dove 125/1, Showed ability in bumpers but it's all been pretty low-key since switched to hurdles and she was pulled up on first start for this yard at Catterick last time. 3 lb out of the handicap. Pulled up in December, after a layoff, and has now been unplaced all six hurdling starts.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 -371%) Mr Globalist		66 66/1(-371%)																															(4) Mr Globalist 66/1, Modest maiden hurdler who fell at the fourth on first run since leaving Shay Slevin in handicap at this course (16.8f, soft) 10 days ago. Ex-Irish maiden who fell on recent stable debut; others have much less to prove.
5	5 |PU| (5) (8/1 -78%) Devon Skies		8 8/1(-78%)																															(5) Devon Skies 8/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and has shown barely modest form in 4 runs over hurdles. More needed on handicap debut. In the frame all four hurdling starts but will need to up her game on this handicap debut.
8	8 |PU| (8) (12/1 +64%) Ebendi		12 12/1(+64%)																															(8) Ebendi 12/1, Poor maiden who was sent off 33/1 when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Ended last year in poor form and is now 0-14 over hurdles; difficult to enthuse over.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 -230%) Flighttothestars		33 33/1(-230%)																															(2) Flighttothestars 33/1, Minor promise at best in bumpers. Showed more than first time up over hurdles when third in a Stratford novice in June but failed to repeat that effort back there next time. Up in trip for handicap bow. Unexposed mare who displayed promise in novice/maiden hurdles in early part of this season.

15:35 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Three miles appeared to stretch the stamina of LET'S GO JOE when weakening into sixth at Wetherby and he makes plenty of appeal dropping in distance. The seven-year-old landed a maiden hurdle over C&D in November 2023 and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Handicap debutants Born In The West and Devon Skies should prove more competitive in this company, with the former a shade more compelling up in trip.

LET'S GO JOE seemed stretched by the step up to 3m at Wetherby last time, but did more than enough to suggest he remains in good form and is fancied to get back to winning ways back over this more suitable trip. Bridgetjoans confirmed her return to form when third at Newcastle the previous month, while Born In The West is an interesting handicap debutant and requires close market scrutiny.

This drop back in trip can help LET'S GO JOE, who didn't see out 3m last time but has good claims if judged on his earlier 2m3f win.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 -25%) Pilgrims King		5 5/1(-25%)																															(2) Pilgrims King 5/1, Dual 19f chase winner last term. Pulled up on his first 4 outings this season but step back in the right direction when third over 21f at Fakenham last month. Needs to show he can back that up now. Ended a run of non-completions with a 7l third at Fakenham; on a useful mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +31%) Beat The Edge		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(4) Beat The Edge 11/4, In decent form for new yard, including a 19f Catterick win on New Year's Day. That was a weak race, though, and he was back to his weak-finishing ways when fifth over 25f back there last week. Back down in trip. Looks a key player dropped back in distance as handicap mark is very manageable.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/4 +58%) Bebside Banter		1.25 5/4(+58%)																															(5) Bebside Banter 5/4, Made a winning reappearance over 21f here in November and creditable third back here (21f again) 3 weeks later. Dropped away to finish a remote last of 4 at Catterick on New Year's Day but can bounce back to form returned to Sedgefield. Three-time course winner and had a feasible excuse last time at Catterick.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 0%) I'm Too Tired		4 4/1(0%)																															(1) I'm Too Tired 4/1, Won a course hurdle around this trip last winter and also landed a 2m handicap chase here on Boxing Day. Not so good at Catterick since but his Sedgefield record affords him respect. Jumping errors resurfaced last time but chance if he can find greater fluency.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 +10%) Pure Surf		18 18/1(+10%)																															(7) Pure Surf 18/1, Dual hurdle winner (including here) for Iain Jardine in summer 2023 but has been operating below that level since joining this yard. Latest 21f course fourth was respectable but likely vulnerable for win purposes again. Didn't run too badly here last time given she met with some late interference.
6	6 |PU| (6) (22/1 +33%) Confidential Gosip		22 22/1(+33%)																															(6) Confidential Gosip 22/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Jessica Harrington in Ireland but has struggled since joining Laura Horsfall. It remains to be seen whether a switch to fences makes any difference. Encouraging efforts in Ireland but she's sliding down the weights for good reason.

16:05 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It was a lot more like it from PILGRIMS KING last time out, withe the Bowens' nine-year-old ending a run of four incompletions when third at Fakenham. He finds himself well handicapped as a result and, in a race lacking depth, he ought to go very close if building on that performance. Beat The Edge weakened over 3m1f at Catterick last Friday, but had been in good form prior and could bounce back down in trip. Bebside Banter may chase the pair home.

BEBSIDE BANTER and I'm Too Tired both seem to save their best for Sedgefield and might be the pair to focus on, with preference for Chris Grant's charge.

Having seemingly turned a corner when third at Fakenham, PILGRIMS KING looks ready to strike again off his good mark.

1	2 1st (2) (11/2 +54%) Demoiselle Kap		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(2) Demoiselle Kap 11/2, Inconsistent performer. Sole run for Keiran Burke when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 63 days ago. Others appeal more. Four jumps wins in France; not disgraced on British debut; now with another new stable.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +58%) Milajess		5 5/1(+58%)																															(10) Milajess 5/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs but she recorded a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft) 41 days ago. Possibilities. Gave pretty good account when fifth at Wetherby on Boxing Day but is 0-20 over hurdles now.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +39%) Addosh		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(1) Addosh 11/4, Good second in Flat handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 13 days ago. Proving a reliable sort for her current yard and a likely player back over hurdles. Consistent on the Flat and over hurdles for James Owen since last summer; likely contender.
3	9 3rd (9) (40/1 +0%) Lillistar		40 40/1(+0%)																															(9) Lillistar 40/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Harry & Roger Charlton but well held over hurdles and efforts on the level for this yard hardly encouraging, either. Still unexposed over hurdles but was never competitive when 66-1 for handicap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +20%) Winds Of Winter		4 4/1(+20%)																															(5) Winds Of Winter 4/1, Remains winless but she came in an encouraging third of 7 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) on her debut over fences 35 days ago. In the mix back over hurdles. Placed all on four hurdling starts for stable and also ran well on recent chasing debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 +34%) Granny B		33 33/1(+34%)																															(7) Granny B 33/1, Fair winner at 5f on flat. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter if she's to get off the mark in this sphere. 5f Flat winner; has shown some hurdling ability but needs improvement here.
7th	4 7th (4) (4/1 +11%) Belle Montrose		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Belle Montrose 4/1, Still a maiden but she posted a good fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 20 days ago, staying on well. Not taken lightly. Well beaten on handicap debut but last month's fifth of 17 at Wincanton was much better.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -213%) Mullins Cross		50 50/1(-213%)																															(6) Mullins Cross 50/1, Doubled her career tally at Bangor in December 2023 but hasn't been able to match that level since, fourth of 14 at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) when last seen in June. Off 7 months ahead of first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon. 2-37 over hurdles in Ireland; makes stable debut after 234-day absence; others preferred.
9th	8 9th (8) (22/1 -267%) Lady Buttercup		22 22/1(-267%)																															(8) Lady Buttercup 22/1, Landed bumper at Warwick in September. However, she hasn't shown much in 3 starts over hurdles since so others are preferred. Bumper winner; soundly beaten on all three hurdling starts but improvement is possible.
11	11 |PU| (11) (14/1 +65%) Gine Sacre		14 14/1(+65%)																															(11) Gine Sacre 14/1, Still a maiden and cheekpieces tried when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f) in June for Pauline Robson. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. 0-10 over hurdles and absent since heavy defeat for Pauline Robson at Cartmel last summer.

16:35 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LOVE TRUE was going best of all when coming to grief two from home at Catterick a fortnight ago and, if none the worse for that tumble, the five-year-old looks more than capable of recording a first hurdles success. Winds Of Winter has been admirably consistent since joining Iain Jardine and she's unlikely to be away, although Demoiselle Kap, who contested a warm class 2 at Ludlow last time, might be the bigger threat.

ADDOSH comes here on the back of a good recent Flat run at Southwell so is taken to resume winning ways back in this sphere at the chief expense of in-form maidens Belle Montrose and Winds of Winter who can chase home James Owen's mare in that order. Milajess completes the shortlist.

Top of the list is ADDOSH, who ought to find this easier than her latest hurdling assignment and has since been placed on the Flat.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
