Runners Spotlight

1
Sedgemoor
Favorite

First-time blinkers saw him return to winning ways in a C&D classified event in February; won C&D handicap on second start for new yard last month; holds strong claims again.

Jockey: Jack NichollsTrainer: John Ryan
2
The Gay Blade

Returned to winning ways in a couple of classified events over C&D in February with cheekpieces back on; unable to land the three-timer back in a handicap over C&D last month; headgear left off here and looks vulnerable at the weights.

Jockey: Cara Tuke(5)Trainer: Iain Jardine
3
Fircombe Hall

Has been kept busy and won twice at Wolverhampton (6f) last month; suffered interference last time, which cost him any chance (usual cheekpieces absent), and holds claims with headgear back on.

Jockey: Mason PaetelTrainer: Philip Kirby
4
Quercus

C&D winner in October 2024 and won twice at Catterick last summer; never showed when beating only one rival over C&D when last seen in November; best watched for new trainer after break.
