In depth
Verdict
Pyjama Game won easily over fences at Sedgefield nine days ago but races off a 10lb higher mark back over hurdles and may struggle to contain SADDLERS MOT. Karen Tutty's mare had to drop into a seller to end her losing run at Wetherby last time but has gone well here in the past and makes more appeal than Newcastle runner-up Candleford under useful 7lb claimer John Dawson. Granwood has claims on her third at Sedgefield in March but may have stamina limitations over this longer trip.
