12:50 Sedgefield Bedlam Boy This track is where the trainer and jockey are most experienced with chasers the past 5 seasons. Ferdy Murphy has 20 wins from 117 and they are both highs. G Lee has 15 wins from 95 and that is most for rides and just 1 shy for having the most wins. With that I think Bedlam Boy can be bettter than LTO where he unseated Lee at 2 out. He was a two time winner and once placed third from three runs in 2007 so I think he's capable of improving. His last three runs (13/18, PU, and UR) this year can be forgiven. The first two had a prize of 49 and 45K to the winners and the last outing was the debut for Murphy. 10pts win @ SP 12:50 Sedgefield Lease Lend 1 win and 1 second from 2 starts in trips of 2m3f110y. 1 third from 2 starts at 2m4f. 1 win, 1 second, and 2 third places from 4 November starts. 1 win, 2 seconds, and 3 third places from 6 Class 4 starts. He's won at Doncaster, Haydock and Wetherby. All where trainer T D Easterby is more successful; 21 wins from 109 (11.86%) the past 5 seasons. Courses he's unable to win at are Aintree, Carlisle, Catterick, and Newcastle. Easterby now has just 3 wins from 109 (2.75%) the past 5 seasons. 10pts win @ SP

Re: Sedgefield 25/11/08 12.50 Lease Lend looks an interesting one in this opener on his G&D form this year reading 1F3, His latest 3rd over fences could be strong enough to take a race of this sort considering a lot of his opponents have never jumped fences in the public and just a 1lb rise on his 3rd at the start of the month, Bedlam Boy was in my view thrown in at the deep end on his Chase debut where he unseated in a competitive race so the trainer must think he is capable of running a big race over these rules and is now 1lb better off to help him be a big danger with a clear round.
