Irish raid Sedgefield on Wednesday There will be plenty of Irish interest at Sedgefield tomorrow afternoon with First Lord and Maggio kicking off for the raiders in the Free Racing With oddschecker.com Novices' Hurdle at 2.20. Ronnie O'Leary's First Lord is a good-looking French-bred that comes from a family full of flat winners. He began his career in a point-to-point, pulling up, but he showed a little more in a Bangor bumper last time. Patrick Griffin has secured Harry Skelton for the mount on Maggio in this two mile one furlong contest. This fellow has his first start for the County Dublin trainer here, having come to him from Nigel Hawke. Both First Lord (Tom O'Brien up) and Maggio are by the American-bred sire, Trempolino. Half-an-hour later Gordon Elliott gives the very distinctively roan-coloured Financialregulator his debut over the larger obstacles in the Dylan Robert Meale Memorial Novices' Chase. Tony McCoy will don the silks of well-known greyhound trainer, Mary Buggy on this bumper-winning son of City Honours in this four-runner affair over an extended two miles. Elliott sent out Right Or Wrong at fives on to score at Perth last time and the son of Key Of Luck has been put in at odds-on again in betting forecasts for the John Wade Earthworks & Demolition Selling Hurdle. He will also have the assistance of Tony McCoy. Symphonica, with Brian Hughes booked, is the Capranny Stables possible in the Phoenix Security Handicap Hurdle. Of course she also has an engagement at Hexham today (Tuesday). Meanwhile Denis Murphy's winning 'pointer' Not So Sure Dick has his first start for George Baker in the concluding bumper. Sam Thomas has been booked for the ride on the Flemensfirth gelding. It is his only ride at the meeting.
