14:40 Sedgefield (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Belaya River wasn't able to defy a penalty at Kelso in February but although he lost little in defeat and appeals as one of the likelier winners, DIAMOND JIM gets the vote. The son of Teofilo came up short at Warwick having won at Haydock, but he now goes handicapping from a reasonable mark and could also improve for the addition of cheekpieces. Captain Cool heads the remainder.

Jennie Candlish's CAPTAIN COOL came home well clear of the rest when runner-up over C&D last time and can bag a second C&D success here

15:10 Sedgefield (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is hard to oppose REALISATION. Charlie Longsdon's mare found considerable improvement for a step up in trip when winning over C&D last month and a 6lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Mountain Mike and Ailt An Chorrain are still getting the hang of things over fences but can give the selection plenty to think about and don't rule out Stratagem, who ought to benefit from a drop in class.

The lightly raced MOUNTAIN MIKE (nap) has started well over fences and can build on a good Hereford second to gain his first chasing win

15:40 Sedgefield (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DIXIE COWBOY put a couple of moderate efforts behind him to fill the runner-up spot at Market Rasen and with the seven-year-old having much less to prove than a few of these, a similar level of performance could suffice. Although Myfavouritesister and Beep Beep Becky are both yet to tackle a fence, they probably wouldn't need to find stacks of improvement. Natural Ability has struggled of late, but is now 6lb below his previous winning mark.

This looks an excellent opportunity for Sam England's DIXIE COWBOY to build on his recent Market Rasen second and gain a second C&D win

16:10 Sedgefield (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Phantom Gold undoubtedly has the most potential, but he has been off since running away with a Newton Abbot bumper in the summer of 2023 and it will take a remarkable training feat to get him to peak first time back. The safer option is BRIGHT LEGEND, who has plenty of experience under his belt and made the frame in a Wincanton handicap last time. Who's Glen also reverts to maiden company with a big shout, while Hay Max is worth a look.

Faye Bramley's BRIGHT LEGEND got right back on track when third in a Wincanton handicap last time and can gain an overdue first success

16:40 Sedgefield (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

COSMIC SOUL has struck up a fine partnership with William Maggs, with the pair registering a quickfire course double last month. A 10lb hike obviously demands more of Patrick Neville's six-year-old, but he was successful on the level prior to that brace and is on a steep upward curve. Laddie Cooper Mia got closest to him last time, although she was seven and a half lengths adrift so a 9lb pull may not be enough for her to turn the tables. Knacker Trapper took a step forward at Newcastle, but needs to back that up.

Patrick Neville's thriving C&D scorer COSMIC SOUL is taken to deny Laddie Cooper Mia once more despite the weights turnaround.

17:10 Sedgefield (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Paul Nicholls has a tremendous record with the select team he has sent to Sedgefield so THE GEM STATE will hardly slip under the radar. The five-year-old was bought for 75,000 pounds after an encouraging second in an Irish point-to-point and he is expected to hit the ground running on his Rules bow. Connells Cross has already proven herself a useful bumper performer by winning here, although she is burdened with a penalty as a result. Smart Order is from the family of Lady Buttons so is the most interesting of the newcomers.

Jennie Candlish's CONNELLS CROSS had a bit up her sleeve when going in over C&D last month and she can follow up from The Gem State

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.
