2
2/1(-14%)
(4) Graystown 2/1, Winner of this race for the last 2 seasons, including this race off 5 lb higher 12 months ago. Back to form when second here last week and claims are obvious.
2
3rd (2) (2.25/1 +50%) Aazza
2.25
2.25/1(+50%)
(2) Aazza 2.25/1, Point scorer who proved willing when landing a mares' novice hurdle on Rules bow at Hexham (2m) in November. Yet to build on that since but switch to fences may help.
6
4th (6) (6.5/1 +28%) Budarri
6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(6) Budarri 6.5/1, Scored twice over fences during early 2019 but not at his best since returning from a lengthy absence a year ago. Continues to fall in the weights but without showing any sign of taking advantage.

5th (1) (5.5/1 -57%) Ardera Cross
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(1) Ardera Cross 5.5/1, Dual 2m winner at Ayr last winter. In and out this season but not disgraced at Cartmel last time and now below last winning mark.

14
14/1(+0%)

13:18 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

5
2nd (5) (5/1 +29%) Pileup
5
5/1(+29%)
(5) Pileup 5/1, Pulled up sole start between the flags but showed a fair bit more than first time up over hurdles when fourth in a 2m Wetherby maiden in March, one paced straight.
4
3rd (4) (10/1 -43%) Ginger Pointe
10
10/1(-43%)
(4) Ginger Pointe 10/1, Winless following 5 attempts between the flags but did offer something to work on starting out under Rules in a C&D novice last week, running on.
6
4th (6) (2.5/1 +29%) Its A Midnight
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(6) Its A Midnight 2.5/1, Modest in bumpers and displayed some promise returning from 11 weeks off when third on hurdles debut over C&D (16.2f) in May but she'll need to step up a good deal on that to play a major role here.
3
5th (3) (10/1 +38%) Future Benefits
10
10/1(+38%)
(3) Future Benefits 10/1, Took 6 attempts to get off the mark in points and has shown just poor form in a brace of starts over hurdles.
2
6th (2) (33/1 -65%) Dapper Gent
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Dapper Gent 33/1, Modest form at best in bumpers so looks up against it on hurdle debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
LTO Selection:
13:54 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Green Vault 2.25/1, Irish bumper winner who improved switched to handicap hurdles, winning at Ayr and Bangor. Excuses final start so remains of interest now going chasing on return.
5
2nd (5) (2.75/1 -22%) Jet Fighter
2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(5) Jet Fighter 2.75/1, Ex-Irish maiden who showed first form switched to larger obstacles for new yard when length second of 10 on handicap debut at Market Rasen (23.9f, good, 13/2). Entitled to improve on that so big shout.
1
3rd (1) (6/1 -9%) Jelski
6
6/1(-9%)
(1) Jelski 6/1, Won at Haydock over hurdles in March and career best when following up over 2¾m at Cartmel. Back to form when second of 4 in novice chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good) on debut over fences 42 days ago, no match for winner. Unexposed in this sphere.
2
4th (2) (8.5/1 +6%) Velasco
8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(2) Velasco 8.5/1, Failed to build on promising Worcester second next 3 starts over fences, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, soft, 3/1) latest. Off 8 months and sold from Tom Lacey £10,000 in May.
4
5th (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Robin Des Fox
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(4) Robin Des Fox 2.75/1, Fair hurdler, second of 5 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 172 days ago. Looks like a chaser (runner-up in Irish point) so respected on chase/handicap bow on return.
LTO Selection:
14:29 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Tiger Jet 2.12/1, Showed ability in 4 runs over hurdles last season, particularly when runner-up on debut in this sphere at Sedgefield. Efforts on the Flat this year have not been overly inspiring but definite chance off this mark if the return to the jumps scene has the desired effect.
3
2nd (3) (8.5/1 -183%) Avoid De Master
8.5
8.5/1(-183%)
(3) Avoid De Master 8.5/1, In fine form when during the spring, bagging handicap chases here (3m) and at Market Rasen (19.2f). Ran poorly on latest start in this sphere back in April 2021 but will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.
5
3rd (5) (12/1 +14%) Scottish Accent
12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Scottish Accent 12/1, Winner of a handicap chase at Kelso in January and good second at Carlisle next time. However, he has failed to fire the last twice and is opposable back hurdling following a break.
2
4th (2) (3/1 +45%) Lyrical Genius
3
3/1(+45%)
(2) Lyrical Genius 3/1, Point/bumper winner who made a winning hurdles debut in 21f Doncaster novice last November. However, well held both subsequent starts and significant step forward needed on this handicap bow following an 8-month absence.
7
5th (7) (7/1 +18%) Victory Echo
7
7/1(+18%)
(7) Victory Echo 7/1, Scored off a 1 lb higher mark over fences at Catterick in February and performed with credit back hurdling in a C&D handicap recently. Still, he's likely to find at least one of two too good.
4
6th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) For Jim
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(4) For Jim 4.5/1, Return to this sphere sparked a return to form during the summer, hitting the crossbar at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in July prior to going one better over the same C&D 17 days later. Wasn't disgraced at Perth last month and he has to enter calculations.
1
7th (1) (12/1 -71%) Crixus's Escape
12
12/1(-71%)
(1) Crixus's Escape 12/1, Runner-up twice over fences last season but it was something of an up-and-down campaign and it's hard to know what to expect back hurdling following a 6-month break.
LTO Selection:
15:04 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Paddy The Horse 3.5/1, Winning Irish pointer who has been placed on 4 of his 6 starts over hurdles, including in 16.2f handicap here in April. Must enter calculations back up in trip on return.
7
2nd (7) (8/1 +11%) Snipe
8
8/1(+11%)
(7) Snipe 8/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam, modest maiden on Flat, sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Rayvin Black. Third sole outing in Irish points (Mar 27) and starts out under Rules at a realistic level, so needs respecting.
4
3rd (4) (18/1 -29%) Inis Oirr
18
18/1(-29%)
(4) Inis Oirr 18/1, £60,000 5-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Ulzana's Raid and fair chaser Glorious Galway, stays 3½m. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 16). Market should offer up some clues on Rules debut.
9
4th (9) (2.25/1 +0%) Finnthemagician
2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(9) Finnthemagician 2.25/1, Perth bumper winner in August who would have likely followed up on Down Royal hurdles debut but for departing at the last. Failed to build on that promise in first-time cheekpieces at Downpatrick last time but still rates a key player.
2
5th (2) (8.5/1 -13%) First Soldier
8.5
8.5/1(-13%)
(2) First Soldier 8.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 12 on handicap debut at Worcester (20f) 15 days ago. That wasn't a bad run considering his yard's recent struggles, so he's not ruled out back in a maiden.
3
6th (3) (1.88/1 +25%) Gaelic Park
1.88
1.88/1(+25%)
(3) Gaelic Park 1.88/1, Well-bred point winner who went in again under a no-nonsense ride in a Warwick bumper in February. Took a step forward under a penalty when third at Uttoxeter, despite still looking green, and looks the type to win races over hurdles.
8
7th (8) (125/1 -56%) The Real Rascal
125
125/1(-56%)
(8) The Real Rascal 125/1, Showed first form when fourth in a Kelso novice (18.1f) 6 months ago but he's uncertain to reproduce that.
5
|PU| (5) (40/1 -60%) Konik King
40
40/1(-60%)
(5) Konik King 40/1, Runner-up on the second of 3 bumper starts and was ridden too aggressively on C&D hurdles debut in May. Can do better but needs to.
10
|PU| (10) (100/1 -525%) Stand Staunch
100
100/1(-525%)
(10) Stand Staunch 100/1, Filled the frame both completed starts for Joseph O'Brien, keeping on well for fourth at Gowran last October. Easy to back and possibly unsuited by conditions when pulled up on yard debut at Wetherby (heavy) in January. Up in trip. Has had a breathing op.
11
|PU| (11) (150/1 -50%) Fly Away Blues
150
150/1(-50%)
(11) Fly Away Blues 150/1, Offered little in a Kelso bumper on debut last month, dropping away quickly early in straight.
LTO Selection:
15:34 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Breaking The Ice 5.5/1, Enjoyed a splendid first season over fences, completing a course hat-trick at Kelso when last seen in December. Unable to complete the 4-timer but he could well have a say on reappearance after 9 months off the track.
6
2nd (6) (3.5/1 +75%) Asking For Answers
3.5
3.5/1(+75%)
(6) Asking For Answers 3.5/1, Course winner back in 2020 who was last seen tailed-off after a breathing operation at this track (3m) back in April (reportedly scoped dirty afterwards). Watching brief advised on this return to action.
5
3rd (5) (1.5/1 +57%) Without Conviction
1.5
1.5/1(+57%)
(5) Without Conviction 1.5/1, Has taken well to fences, opening her account over C&D last December. Respectable efforts since, but ran below form on her first try at 3m at this course when last seen back in April. Will need to hit the ground running.
4
4th (4) (3/1 +33%) Croagh Patrick
3
3/1(+33%)
(4) Croagh Patrick 3/1, Has improved for a breathing operation, making the most of a good opportunity over C&D before following up at Carlisle last term. Shaped as if still in decent heart for most of the way at this course (24.2f) when last seen back in May so he merits plenty respect.
3
5th (3) (14/1 +22%) Dolly Dancer
14
14/1(+22%)
(3) Dolly Dancer 14/1, Won at this track in June but seems to have completely lost form, tailed-off some way out at Kelso last month. Easy to look elsewhere despite her tumbling mark.
LTO Selection:
16:08 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Rolling River 10/1, €14,000 3-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 15f winner in Morocco Zofaja.
6
2nd (6) (14/1 -100%) Perculator
14
14/1(-100%)
(6) Perculator 14/1, Related to bumper winners and showed a bit when sixth at Wincanton on debut 8 months ago. Has left Fergal O'Brien since but open to improvement.
3
3rd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Merrijig
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(3) Merrijig 3.5/1, Signs of encouragement on both starts in bumpers, particularly when second in a race that's working out well first time out. Merits respect.
1
4th (1) (0.83/1 +45%) Myretown
0.83
0.83/1(+45%)
(1) Myretown 0.83/1, £135,000 5-y-o, Dylan Thomas gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Gone Platinum. Comfortably off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Apr 24). Looks the one to beat.
2
5th (2) (9/1 +10%) Brian's Jet
9
9/1(+10%)
(2) Brian's Jet 9/1, Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced. Well worth a market check for stable that can ready a newcomer.
4
6th (4) (8.5/1 +6%) Rajjamataz
8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(4) Rajjamataz 8.5/1, Rajj gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Mr Muldoon, stays 3¼m. Dam winning pointer. One to take seriously on debut.
7
7th (7) (125/1 -89%) Comeonrita
125
125/1(-89%)
(7) Comeonrita 125/1, Down the field over C& on debut 5 months ago and looks set for another struggle.
8
8th (8) (33/1 -106%) Wedding Stress
33
33/1(-106%)
(8) Wedding Stress 33/1, Casament filly who didn't show enough at Kelso on debut to warrant interest in this.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
