In depth
Verdict
Teme Valley won a Class D event at Sedgefield last time out and should go well again having only received a 2lb rise in the handicap for that victory. Ulusaba has been making hay in lesser grade but has been put up 10lb for a recent win. Elvis Reigns has smart form on the level but has been disappointing over the sticks. The market is best watched to see if today is the day.
