Sedgefield Race 2

Betwright Bangers N'cash Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $16,195

MARHABA PRINCE (3) dropped in standard after managing a seventh in a Listed “Junior” jumpers flat race at Cheltenham when placing third at Newton Abbot during June. Makes appeal on first hurdle attempt. BUDDAH CASTLE (2) delivers rules and stable debut. Improved from a third on first career start before coming out on top by a head in both point-to-point races. Can double up. ANIMATO (1) failed to place in three hurdle events. Did finish fifth in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last month and is of interest wearing first-time blinkers. PERFECTOT (4) might be in the mix wearing a first-time hood.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Having raced just once last preparation finished third in a small field at Newton Abbot on June 13 over 3400m, 3.5 len behind Three Pikes carrying 71.5kg at $1.50. Won previous preparation first up ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len Wincanton on December 5 over 3050m on rain affected going defeating Precious Metal with 70kg at $5 in a flat. Perfectly placed to take care of the small field.

Having second run back today. First-up after eight months ran last at Hexham on November 7 over 3200m, 99 len behind Forthfactor with 67.5kg at $29. Previously second-up finished third of 7 runners at Musselburgh on March 21 over 3500m, 5.5 len behind Chanonry Point with 66kg at $6.50. Still likely to struggle despite the size of the field.
