210 Sedgefield-Captain Mowbray has been knocking on the door and the drop in grade into a race where not many make much appeal,could be the answer.
Its latest effort puts it 5Ibs clear of its nearest rival and with several horses,with better ratings,having stamina question marks then I would certainly have it shorter than it is.
Dark And Dangerous bounced back to form last time over 2m1f but looks far better animal at that trip than todays while similar could be said about Captain Sharpe.
Back Captain Mowbray 12pts at 4.5 at Various bookies

310 Sedgefield-Although there are some likely types on show here,im still shocked at the price of Hartside.
This horse appreciated the drop in class ,last time out and posted the best rating in this race plus backed it up with an excellent speed figure.
In the last 2 years,its record in this class and on good to soft ground reads 3-1-4-1-2.
I expect it to easily outrun its odds here.
Beeno has been well supported and from such a shrewd yard(35% strike rate here)that has to be respected but on the bare figures of its runs so far,its hard to understand why.
Snowed In came back to form last time at its favourite track(Catterick) and would hold chances on that but that was a desperate race and its no certainty to repeat that run.
Free Stone Hill makes its handicap debut from the Dan Skelton yard and is another that you have to respect but again,on the pure ratings its achieved so far,it has to improve a stone to win this.
Back Hartside 5pts at 13.0 at various bookies
