TIMEFORMVIEW Has finished runner-up on his last 3 outings, most recently behind Montoya’s Son (winner again since) over C&D, and is likely to continue in form
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions
A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SEDGEFIELD RACECOURSE
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a highspecification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

Race preview from Weatherbys
13horsesaresettofacethestarterforrace three on today’s card, the Paul Ferguson’s Jumpers To Follow Handicap Hurdle, the latest contest to carry the sponsorship of therecentlyreleasedpublication.
The weights are headed by the sole previous course winner, the Mark WalfordtrainedFinalEdgar Thewinnerofamaiden hurdle at this track in February, the sixyear-old then bumped into subsequent Aintree winner El Jefe here a month later and was placed twice subsequently. He looks capable of further progression this winter.
Walford saddles three in total, with Jumping Jupiter and Perculator also set to represent his North Yorkshire stable. The former was a shade disappointing on his return at Bangor last month, whilst Perculator returns to action over a trip whichisprobablyshorterthanideal.
Chosen Hero won once as a novice last season and is another who looks open to further improvement.
She won on heavy ground at Chepstow in late-Januaryandprovidedthatshecopes with quicker conditions, could easily be competitiveoffamarkof106.HerPoint-toPointformoffersuphopethatbetterground won’t be too much of a problem and she ranwellonreappearancelastterm.
Donald McCain’s filly Bellbird has been
on the go through the summer, having won at the second attempt over hurdles, on good ground at Ludlow in May. Runner-up at Bangor last month, stepping back up in distance should suit and she is partnered by former champion jockey Brian Hughes, who once again contributes to the aforementioned Jumpers To Follow publication.
Kilbrainy hasn’tbeeningreatformoflate but did win on reappearance at Kelso a year ago, whilst Swinging London has raced exclusively on the Flat since moving from Olly Murphy to John Mackie. He had looked promising in his early days, with a Fakenham maiden hurdle victory precedingasixthplacefinishintheBoodles at Cheltenham in 2022, although the sixyear-old has fallen on his last two hurdles starts.

A breathing operation clearly helped CAWTHORNE CRACKER, who ran out a ready winner of a C&D handicap last week and because of the conditions of that race, he escapes a penalty for that. On that evidence, he’ll take plenty of stopping, with Asa and Getaway Jewel feared most.
