The ridiculously small fields are more than a touch disheartening, leaving us racing scribes will little more than the odds-on shots, and when they won, so what – but if they lose, we look like idiots. Huntingdon is given a swerve for that very reason, but Sedgefield do fare a little better, with on horse worthy of more than a passing mention.
Both Galileo Silver and Dr Sanderson are looking to land their hat-tricks in the 2.20pm but I felt the first named was the more impressive when hacking up by a wide margin at Huntingdon on heavy going last time out.
He has been put up a big 9lb for that win, but he seems to be going from strength to strength, handles any going (he has won on the all-weather, good, and heavy ground), and has a 100% success rate at the course having scored over hurdles here in 2020.
