Verdict

Plenty of previous Sedgefield winners in this open looking contest including course specialist Sendiym. However, it is the Fergal O'Brien trained I'M STILL WAITING who looks potentially the most intriguing runner in the line up. He makes his handicap debut wearing the first time hood, with improvement very firmly anticipated. Aged just five, he's far less exposed than any of these rivals (with the exception of Gran Paradiso) and it would be no surprise to see him build upon an improved showing at Market Rasen in January.
