Eight runners go to post for the 13:15 at Sedgefield on Thursday, but Neigh Botha looks to hold strong claims despite carrying top weight.

Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero are in excellent recent form, striking at a 17% rate, and Henry Booke is booked to take the ride on the seven-year-old.

Neigh Botha was third over two miles in October, finishing eight lengths behind Duke Of Luckley. However, he has won over two miles previously, scoring at Southwell in June.

Has a solid record over the bigger obstacles, winning once from nine starts, and has finished in the top three on four further occasions. Should prove too much for this field based on ratings.
