In depth

Verdict

Ming Dynasty has placed a couple of times at Sedgefield but is a lot more exposed than BEYOND THE CLOUDS, who beat him six lengths last month and should confirm the form despite his penalty. Better Getalong was second here last month, despite his rider losing his reins, but is jumping fences late in life.
