Sedgefield Race 4 - Fairlight Studios Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
PHANTOM GOLD (4) First up from a spell of 139 weeks. Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 9L last time at Newton Abbot and having second career run. Warrants a bet. HAY MAX (3) Ran on into 5th last time at Huntingdon and showing consistent performance in races. Winning chance in this line up. BRIGHT LEGEND (1) Was competitive when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Wincanton. In fine form since returning from a spell. One of the hopes. WHO'S GLEN (5) Came in 3rd last start in a hurdle at Musselburgh. Producing consistent results this preparation. Not out of this.

Ran well when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Wincanton. Looking sharp on the track since returning from a spell. Worth a serious look.

Failed to finish in a hurdle at Sedgefield. Shows good early pace. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Odds of $8.00 and moved through the field into 5th last time at Huntingdon and putting a tidy record together. Should give plenty of sight.

First run back from a spell of 139 weeks. Was a comprehensive winner by 9L last time at Newton Abbot and was on debut last time. Change in trainer. Has the ratings to win this.

Unimpressive effort when 7th last start in a hurdle at Huntingdon but will benefit with the weight drop. Does take a while to get into stride. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
