Sedgemoor

The horse is at its most dangerous over the shorter distances — between five furlongs and six and a half — where it has won 2 from 7 races, or nearly 1 in every 3. That is a meaningful uptick from its overall record and suggests a horse that wants to burn fast and finish, rather than grind it out over longer trips. Its most recent win came at Newcastle on 6 March 2026, just two months ago, and it raced again only yesterday, so this is a horse in active work and in form.

Connor Planas is the jockey who gets the best out of it. In six rides together they have won twice — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in every 3 — which is a genuinely strong partnership at this level. When Planas is in the saddle and the race is at Newcastle over a short trip, the combination of factors that make Sedgemoor tick are all pointing in the right direction. John Ryan's yard in Newmarket has sent out 11 winners already this season, so the operation is in decent health, and Sedgemoor's win last month suggests it is contributing to that momentum rather than just making up the numbers. For a horse that can look modest on paper, it has a knack for showing up when conditions suit — and that is worth knowing.
