Verdict
Moscow Calling was favourite for a Sedgefield bumper in March but finished tailed off. John Monash disappointed at Ballinrobe and has had a few chances but Outlaw Josey Wales is a possible on his latest second over track and trip, though Sweet Holly's second here behind the useful Mardale looks the best recent form on offer. SPIFER won three times on the Flat and has shown promise in both starts over hurdles. He didn't quite get home over 2m4f here last time and is worth another chance.
