Sedgefield, on the other hand, has absolutely no chance. Even if the race were on turf he wouldn't win it.

You're probably right, though he is so far behind many contenders that even his clunk up style is highly unlikely to land him in the super. It just feels like the best case people seem to be making for the plethora of bums being discussed for this Derby is " he can help fill out the super ".
