Sedgefield Race 2 - Betvickers.com Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)
A small but competitive affair. TOM CREEN (1) won here four starts ago and has remained in good form since. Finished 1L second tackling track and trip last time and capable of going one better now. JACKPOT CASH (2) was a winner three starts ago at Southwell. Disappointed as favourite both starts since placing only. Clearly felt capable of better and is easy to fancy against this field. VALENCE D'AUMONT (4) struggled in latest. Better judged on narrow victory at Catterick start before that. Key player if bouncing back. BEAT THE EDGE (5) placed on three of the last four starts. Conditions to suit and might go close once more.

Useful gelding. Last run finished second of 8 runners at this track on March 20 over 4200m, 1.0 len behind The Paddy Pie carrying 76kg at $12. Run before finished fifth of 9 starters at Wetherby on February 26 over 3900m, slow track; 31 len behind Konfusion carrying 75kg at $15. Continues to make headway. Recent form suggests a big run is on the cards.

Freshened for 43 days. Last start ran last in a small field at Doncaster on February 19 over 4100m, 25 len behind Bravethewaves with 71kg at $2.50. Before that favourite; won by a nose Catterick on January 31 over 3800m slow going defeating Kings Justice carrying 67.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. Continues to make headway. Must be given another chance - will take some stopping.
