Forecasts

Thatbeatsbanagher (7/4), My Strong Man (10/3), Benny Baloo (5/1), The Blame Game (7/1), First Man (15/2), Redbridge Rosie (15/2), Hideo (40/1), Secrets De Famille (150/1)

Both of THE BLAME GAME's career successes have come here at Sedgefield and a chance is taken that he'll be able to build upon the minor promise of his recent Doncaster effort now up in trip. First Man finished ahead of the selection there and is a danger if able to bounce back from a poor effort over fences, with Benny Baloo rating an interesting handicap newcomer.
