Charlie Longsdon at Sedgefield — Record, Stats & Runners

Sedgefield is a sharp, undulating track that demands accurate jumping and a good turn of foot. It typically suits agile horses with tactical speed more than out-and-out gallopers, particularly in the closing stages. Charlie Longsdon has clearly identified this, as his runners here often fit this profile, showing a preference for horses that can handle the tight turns and stiff finish.

He frequently targets handicap hurdles and chases, bringing horses that are either dropping in class or appear to be well-handicapped for their mark. Longsdon isn't afraid to send a horse on the long journey if he believes the conditions and race type are perfectly aligned. Pay close attention to his runners in 2m4f to 3m handicap chases and 2m1f handicap hurdles, as these are often where his shrewd placements bear fruit. He tends to strike throughout the core jumps season, but particularly when the ground is on the quicker side of good, suiting his more nimble types.
