Verdict

TOM CREEN might be good for yet another Sedgefield win. Dan Skelton's Delgany Deadline is open to progress with his Market Rasen chase debut behind him and now fitted with cheekpieces is second choice ahead of Scottish King, who also has that headgear on for the first time.

Delgany Deadline silk

Fair maiden hurdler who resumed from 7 months off with a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) in November. Below that level when 18 lengths third on 3m Market Rasen chase debut over Christmas but he can likely do better with that experience behind him. Cheekpieces go on.

Scottish King (Ire) silk

Good start to chase career when runner on return at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) in October. Back to that level when third of 14 at Catterick (25f, good0 4 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces won't need to give him much more.
