1.25 Sedgefield

Us And Them was a useful handicapper for Joseph O’Brien and once finished third at the Cheltenham Festival. He struggled badly in his first six for Alan Jones but there were small signs of a revival on his final start for that yard at Fakenham last time out. He makes his debut for Joe Ponting here and he’s fallen 25lb in the handicap since coming over to Britain. This horse won his sole start on soft to heavy and has a solid record on heavy ground.

3.10 Sedgefield

Skyhill had a cracking season last time around, winning three of his seven starts. Two of those came over course and distance and he’s an eight-time winner on soft or heavy ground. All eight of his career victories have come with significant ease in the ground and Alison Hamilton’s gelding should thrive in these conditions.

3.40 Sedgefield

Horn Cape has three victories to his name so far and they’ve all come on soft or heavy ground. It’s also worth mentioning that he has a 67 per cent strike-rate here at Sedgefield. Ben Haslam’s charge is effectively 5lb well in, as he avoids a penalty for winning here last week. There’s plenty in his favour and he’s entitled to run a huge race once again.
