7/1
Lost his way over fences last season and no better over the smaller obstacles on both comeback runs; step back up in trip may help but current form hardly screams winner; first-time cheepieces may help.

9/1
Both victories have come at this track, once over this trip last season; lost his way after that latest success but showed his well being with a fair performance over slightly shorter at this track last time out; one to consider.

Horse silk
Sweet Vinettap29
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-10| J: Ross Chapman| T: G Boanas| OR:  108
5/1
Disappointing in two starts since winning over 2m4f at Hexham (soft) in October but looked like she was returning to form last time out at Catterick; capable on all surfaces and one for the shortlist.

Horse silk
Ormesherp31
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: Philip Armson(7)| T: D McCain Jnr| OR:  108
6/1
Successful on his first two starts over hurdles he's not tasted glory again in nine subsequent hurdling starts; much better effort last time out over 2m4f here in December; could be close to visiting the winner's enclosure once again.
5
Horse silk
12/1
Failed to build on promising hurdles debut at Uttoxeter when weakening a long way out at Ludlow in November before beaten a long way out on latest start at Wetherby in December; difficult to make a strong case for on all known form.
6
Horse silk
Lostock Hallp25
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-8| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke| OR:  106
18/1
Gradually improved throughout last season, and that culminated in a third hurdle success of his career on his final start of the season at Newcastle (2m; good to soft). Not disgraced on seasonal return but needs to bounce back from latest effort.
7
Horse silk
Lostnfound36
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Aaron Anderson(7)| T: D Thompson| OR:  106
14/1
Posted an encouraging return to action when a short-head second here (2m5f; soft) in November but latest two performances have been patchy; modest strike rate also makes her an unappealing proposition.
8
Horse silk
Whateva Next40
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Jonathon Bewley(3)| T: G Bewley| OR:  105
6/1
Good ground point winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) in October. Heavy ground a possible excuse next time but ran with credit last time at Catterick; interesting.

Horse silk
Pixiepotp194
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: P D Niven| OR:  104
13/2
An infrequent runner these days but has winning form in the past; latest effort was reasonable enough at Southwell over 2m4f; market may reveal any level of stable confidence returning from a long absence.
10
Horse silk
Ulterior Motives16
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin(5)| T: M Todhunter| OR:  102
8/1
Much better effort last time out at this track when thiurd in a maiden hurdle over this trip; more needed on handicap debut but does not look particularly badly treated; deserves closer inspection.
11
Horse silk
Hear The Chimes60
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: S A Harris| OR:  102| C| D
20/1
Was in reasonable form this time last season and is generally a consistent sort but needs to bounce back from a sub-standard performance last time at Hereford to make a mark here.
12
Horse silk
Wild Samt114
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-2| J: Dale Irving(3)| T: M A Barnes| OR:  100| D
20/1
Scored twice over hurdles this season before joining current stable; very below par last time out when tackling a distance far too short for him and while step back up in trip and first time tongue tie may help, he looks weighted up to his best.
13
Horse silk
Fortia25
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: Billy Garritty(5)| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  94
28/1
Very inconsistent and certainly did not enjoy the step up in trip last time; still looking for first handicap victory and while he has a chance on the best of his form from the past, he looks an unlikely winner.

15:00 Sedgefield - 26 January 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A fairly wide-open handicap aand a chance is taken on NICELY INDEED who won a similar race to this at this meeting last year off a 1lb higher market. He advertised his well being with a reasonable effort last time out at this track after a short break and could be spot on here. Bertie Blake will be popular following an easy win here last time out though it remains to be seen as to whether the handicapper now has his mark. Whateva Next put in a useful performance last time out and he may have sneaked into this handicap on a reasonable handicap mark.
