Won a course hurdle around this trip last winter and also landed a 2m handicap chase here on Boxing Day. Not so good at Catterick since but his Sedgefield record affords him respect.

5/1
Dual 19f chase winner last term. Pulled up on his first 4 outings this season but step back in the right direction when third over 21f at Fakenham last month. Needs to show he can back that up now.

In decent form for new yard, including a 19f Catterick win on New Year's Day. That was a weak race, though, and he was back to his weak-finishing ways when fifth over 25f back there last week. Back down in trip.

5/4
Made a winning reappearance over 21f here in November and creditable third back here (21f again) 3 weeks later. Dropped away to finish a remote last of 4 at Catterick on New Year's Day but can bounce back to form returned to Sedgefield.

22/1
Fair maiden hurdler for Jessica Harrington in Ireland but has struggled since joining Laura Horsfall. It remains to be seen whether a switch to fences makes any difference.

18/1
Dual hurdle winner (including here) for Iain Jardine in summer 2023 but has been operating below that level since joining this yard. Latest 21f course fourth was respectable but likely vulnerable for win purposes again.

Forecasts

Bebside Banter (5/4), Beat The Edge (11/4), Pilgrims King (5/1), Ceolwulf (6/1), I'm Too Tired (13/2), Pure Surf (18/1), Confidential Gosip (22/1)

16:05 Sedgefield - 5 February 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

BEBSIDE BANTER and I'm Too Tired both seem to save their best for Sedgefield and might be the pair to focus on, with preference for Chris Grant's charge.
