Sedgefield Race 4 - Seaside Travel Spectacular Shoreline Handicap Chase

DEFENCE WITNESS (1) is racing consistently with two wins and two placed efforts last five starts including winning by 1.25L a Catterick handicap chase last month. Major player. GETAWAY GLORY (2) proved consistent producing four placed efforts in five starts. Unable to continue that streak when eighth behind the top pick at Catterick. Warrants thought as could reverse placings. COMMUNITY REBEL (4) failed to place previous six starts including unseating at Musselburgh and pulling up at Uttoxeter. Improvement expected following a break. BALLYDANGAN (3) might bounce back after pulling up at Catterick.
