Sedgefield Race 3 - Jodie Standing's Point-To-Point Recruits Handicap Hurdle

DICKENS (1) holds impressive form with four wins past five starts including victory attempting a Newton Abbot hurdle nine days ago by 3.5L. Remains on the same winning mark under a claiming jockey. Leading contender. SPOT ON SOPH (5) produced a good 1.25L track and trip victory last month after placing three times in four starts prior. Jockey is currently operating at a 50% strike rate. Dangerous. ISLE OF SARK (4) disappointed racing first-up for a new trainer finishing sixth at Uttoxeter. Drops in distance and adopting a first-time visor rates a good chance. MAGNOLIA (7) is yet to win racing first-up resuming from a break. Something for the Multiples: OUR LAURA B (8)
