Verdict

Don McCain has built up a good record at Sedgefield (21% strike-rate over past five years) and his Nefyn Bay must have a good chance of completing a four-timer although he will have to overcome a new career-high mark to achieve that feat. Rear Admiral is another of the protagonists who runs off a new high mark here after his win last time out but he will need to be in the same mood to deliver again. JUSTFORJAMES comes from a yard in good form and appears to like it around here he’ll need to be given a better ride this time to regain the winning thread but he has the ability to do so.
  1. Justforjames
  2. Nefyn Bay
  3. Rear Admiral
