Sedgefield Race 3 - Roxyfet Sports Lounge For Private Hire Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
DESERTMORE NEWS (3) easily landed a Southwell maiden on rules debut before finding Grade 2 company too fierce in latest. Raced keenly on that occasion and finds a great opportunity back in a lower level race. A KING OF MAGIC (1) overcame a subsequent winner when scoring at Taunton last time on heavy ground. Top stable wouldn't send many to this venue without a chance. Obvious claims. BUDDAH CASTLE (2) landed a 4000m maiden at this course two starts back before dropping out of contention next time. Enters the equation back in distance. CHILLINGHAM (4) might be awaiting his chance in handicaps. Does hold ability on flat form.
