Sedgefield Race 2 - Bet365 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
This can go to DARTMOUTH CASTLE (1) after back-to-back seconds. He won a jumpers flat here by 8L last May and latest 1L second at Newcastle twenty seven days ago was his best run yet when hurdling. Sets a good standard on form and could prove very hard to beat. WHENTHEMUSICSTOPS (2) rates next best. Showed promise beaten 2.75L at Plumpton in September and is a contender off a 171-day break. WENDYWILLDO (5) is worth a market check resuming after a year off having switched to the Patrick Neville yard. Provided some useful form in 2024 including a neck second in a Wetherby novice hurdle and was a jumpers flat winner at Sedgefield.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing finished second of 9 runners at Newcastle on March 14 over 3400m, 1.0 len behind Irandando Has carrying 72kg at $2.50. Race before raced on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 12 runners at Ludlow on February 18 over 3200m, slow track; 2 len behind Misterdoc carrying 71kg at $17. Found his best form now. Key chance and likely to feature again.

Resuming after a more than three years break. Not seen since running last in a small field at Catterick February 13 2023 over 3160m, 93 len behind Tedtwo carrying 64.5kg at $101. First ever race start 6 of 9 runners at Newcastle All Weather January 7 2023 over 3260m, 10 len behind Ici La Reine carrying 61.5kg at $34. Makes appeal on best and looks an each way chance here.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 45 days. Returned from a spell and failed to finish in a steeplechase at Catterick. At only start last preparation didn't finish the race at Hexham on November 29 over 4000m. Looks to have the job ahead.
