Sedgefield Race 4 - Fairlight Studios Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
BRIGHT LEGEND (1) stepped forward from an earlier Wincanton defeat when finishing third over 4000m there last time. That effort gives him the standout profile in this line up. Leading contender. WHO'S GLEN (5) also improved on latest appearance filling a placing at Musselburgh defeated 4.5L. Another honest showing would not surprise. Main danger. PHANTOM GOLD (4) returns from a lengthy absence. Did win a Newton Abbot jumpers flat on his previous campaign and now joins Jennie Candlish. Warrants consideration. HAY MAX (3) switches to hurdles after a fair Huntingdon jumpers flat effort. Capable of making his presence felt in a suitable contest.

Last run didn't finish the race at this track on March 10 over 3400m. The start before that; got back early finished third in a small field at this track on February 19 over 4000m, 19 len behind Follow Your Luck with 72kg at $23. Might find this a bit too tough.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Having had just one run last preparation won by 9 len Newton Abbot on July 31 2023 over 3400m defeating Alright Dai with 71kg at $6.50 in a flat. Also won first up last previous preparation. Worth including.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after four months finished seventh of 8 runners at Huntingdon on March 1 over 3200m, 32 len behind Golden Falls with 71kg at $26. Previously second-up finished second of 10 runners at Fontainebleau on November 6 over 3550m, on slow going 1.0 len behind Master Falcon carrying 64kg at $17. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.
