Verdict

There's rarely a Sedgefield meeting goes by without a John Wade runner getting on the scoresheet and NO WAY HOZAY looks to be the local trainer's best chance of a winner today. He's improving fast over fences judged on his latest 17-length drubbing of Turf Trivia at Catterick and not even a 16lb weight rise may be enough to prevent a hat-trick. Pamak D'Airy seemed to be on the way back at Doncaster last time but was a long way behind the selection earlier while Vardas Supreme was put up 8lb after winning at Newcastle. Red Rock and On Gossamer Wings have the past form to figure but haven't really been firing this season.
