Races & Results Saturday 12th October 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(9) Backbyjet 6/1, Dual C&D winner in June and but shaped as if still in good heart in a stronger race when fifth of 11 at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) in July. Mark looks on the high side for now. Dual C&D winner and he could resume his progress back in trip after a break.
1
2nd (1) (14/1 -250%) Coqolino
14
14/1(-250%)
(1) Coqolino 14/1, Winless since 2021 but stopped the slide all of a sudden from his falling mark refitted with a tongue tie when going close at Cartmel (21f, heavy) just under 7 weeks ago. Clearly on a very good mark if in the same sort of form. Turned things around with a close second at Cartmel; big player if he can back that up.
8
3rd (8) (12/1 -50%) Elleon
12
12/1(-50%)
(8) Elleon 12/1, Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to this season, landing back-to-back course handicaps. Good placed efforts next 2 starts but latest fourth at Cartmel (25.5f, soft) in July was a bit laboured so others preferred. Dual course winner but he's exposed in this sphere and looks weighted near his best.
6
4th (6) (11/2 +8%) Hello Judge
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(6) Hello Judge 11/2, Successful 3 times over the larger obstacles last season but last seen well below best in Series Final at Carlisle (20f, heavy) in April, giving way in a manner that showed he wasn't on his game. Has gone well fresh in the past and fancied to go very close on return. Three wins last season including by 12l on his penultimate run; needs close look on return.
4
5th (4) (6/1 -9%) Monochromix
6
6/1(-9%)
(4) Monochromix 6/1, Form dipped following a reappearance effort over hurdles last season but back on track switched to fences, finishing second - beaten a length or less - for the fourth time in his career at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 6 months ago. Up 5 lb for that near miss and first-time headgear goes on. Has gone close in two of three runs over fences; respected with headgear added on return.
10
6th (10) (13/2 +19%) Grand Voyage
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(10) Grand Voyage 13/2, Long time without success but back to form when runner-up at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) in May. Each-way claims on return but he is proving expensive to follow. Runner-up at Kelso last time but he's now 1-15 over fences and has mixed record when fresh.
11
7th (11) (11/1 -38%) Ribeye
11
11/1(-38%)
(11) Ribeye 11/1, C&D winner in May 2023 and arrives in form, just unlucky to bump into such a progressive rival at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) back in July. Mark unchanged and worth considering dropped back in trip. C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and has each-way claims back from a short break.
7
8th (7) (9/1 +73%) Rock Steady Eddie
9
9/1(+73%)
(7) Rock Steady Eddie 9/1, Placed in a couple of points and going the right way over hurdles, improving when second in a novice at this track in March. However, he was labouring badly from early final circuit on handicap debut at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) later that month and now attentions are turned to fences. Still early days for this 6yo but he needs more improvement on this switch to fences.
5
|B| (5) (28/1 +15%) Ladronne
28
28/1(+15%)
(5) Ladronne 28/1, Fair handicap chaser, scoring at Doncaster and second at Market Rasen (both 3m) in March. Only sixth at Sedgefield (21f) after a short break in May and fared no better back hurdling later that month. Makes return over hurdles back down in trip and others look stronger. On dangerous mark but last two wins have been at 3m/3m1f and has work to do on return.
2
|F| (2) (6/1 -9%) No Regrets
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) No Regrets 6/1, Kelso winner in May and still looked in good heart after 2 months off when fourth back at that venue (21.6f, good) last month. Cheekpieces on for the first time this season but is he's more than averagely treated. In-form 10yo who was only beaten around 2l at Kelso (2m5f) last time; in the mix.
3
|U| (3) (9/1 -29%) Artic Row
9
9/1(-29%)
(3) Artic Row 9/1, Justified market confidence in an Ayr handicap in good style last December and made it 3-3 over obstacles at that track when getting the better of an argument with Monochromix in March. Failed to get home at Perth (23.8f, soft) when last seen in April and he may need this outing. 3-6 over fences and had an excuse at 3m last time; respected back in trip on his return.
13:55 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
COQOLINO has yet to win over fences, but he went close to doing so when attempting to make all on the testing ground at Cartmel in August. This sounder surface will suit Ben Haslam's charge and he looks well treated. Monochromix represents last year's winning trainer and has solid claims in first-time cheekpieces after just missing out at Carlisle, while Backbyjet is another worthy of consideration.
Cases can be made for plenty of these, but the suggestion is HELLO JUDGE, who enjoyed a terrific 2023/24 campaign and his final effort of the season was too bad to be true. He can get the better of Coqolino, who stopped the slide from a falling mark at Cartmel in August and should go close providing his jumping holds up. Monochromix and Ribeye can fight out minor honours.
The vote goes to MONOCHROMIX (nap), who is unexposed over fences and went close at Carlisle in his final run last season.
(1) Battle Born Lad 11/2, Placed all 3 starts in bumpers (fair form), rallying late when third at Kelso on final start. Kept to 2m for hurdle debut (bred to stay well). Placed in quite valuable Kelso bumper in May; ought to play a signifcant role here.
8
2nd (8) (6/5 +47%) Wendigo
1.2
6/5(+47%)
(8) Wendigo 6/5, £70,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who built on his Worcester debut third when landing short odds in a course bumper last November. Defied a penalty at Catterick next time and is a very interesting hurdling debutant. Dual bumper winner; form of latter success has worked out quite well; major player.
11
3rd (11) (11/2 -38%) She's Notjoeking
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(11) She's Notjoeking 11/2, Bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles in 5-runner juvenile hurdle over C&D in April, just holding on after showing signs of inexperience. Likely has more to offer this season. Narrow winner of C&D junior hurdle in April; has more to do under penalty in a deeper race.
4
4th (4) (25/1 -56%) Prince Of Perth
25
25/1(-56%)
(4) Prince Of Perth 25/1, Shaped like a stayer on his sole outing in bumpers and did likewise on hurdling debut. Not seen for 22 months. Made fairly encouraging hurdle debut in December 2022 but not seen again since.
14
5th (14) (100/1 -203%) Sunset Hill
100
100/1(-203%)
(14) Sunset Hill 100/1, Unplaced in points and ran to just a poor level when sixth of 9 in a C&D bumper (good, 25/1) on NH debut 111 days ago. Makes hurdle debut. Not disgraced in course bumper in June but makes only limited appeal on hurdle debut.
2
6th (2) (3/1 +50%) Joecooker
3
3/1(+50%)
(2) Joecooker 3/1, Shaped with some encouragement in a Punchestown maiden hurdle prior to winning a Wexford bumper. Has left Mary E Doyle and open to improvement for new yard. Won run-of-the-mill Wexford bumper this summer; now hurdling for new stable.
7
7th (7) (100/1 -300%) Walk In The Valley
100
100/1(-300%)
(7) Walk In The Valley 100/1, £6,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pettifour. Not disgraced both starts in points in spring 2023. Bought for £6,000 after showing only minor promise in two maiden points in spring 2023.
13
8th (13) (150/1 -127%) Heather Honey
150
150/1(-127%)
(13) Heather Honey 150/1, Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and made no impact on last month's Warwick hurdling debut. One for longer trips later on. Soundly beaten when 80-1 for recent hurdling debut at Warwick.
9
9th (9) (16/1 -167%) Wise Move
16
16/1(-167%)
(9) Wise Move 16/1, Prolific winner in points and ran to a fair level first time up over hurdles when second in a maiden here (20.1f) in May. Held in share of third when falling at the last in a similar event at Cartmel just 4 days later. Probably worth another chance. Hood on for 1st time. Four-time point winner; twice ran well over hurdles in May drops in trip today; a possible.
3
10th (3) (150/1 -355%) Powerofjet
150
150/1(-355%)
(3) Powerofjet 150/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Our Dot's Baby and poor hurdler Dolly's Dot. Dam unraced. Third completed start in Irish points, pulled up last time (Apr 20). Third in a heavy-ground Irish point in March but probably best watched on rules debut.
10
11th (10) (18/1 -125%) Chillhi
18
18/1(-125%)
(10) Chillhi 18/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) who offered something to work on when 17 lengths third on Market Rasen hurdle debut in July. Stumbled and unseated rider at the second at Sedgefield since. Useful on Flat at best but mostly out of form this year; well-held third on hurdle debut.
5
12th (5) (50/1 -213%) Red Ned
50
50/1(-213%)
(5) Red Ned 50/1, Went backwards from a promising bumper debut when only fifth in 6-runner event at Ayr (16f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Went close in modest bumper last November but soundly beaten on second bumper start.
12
13th (12) (33/1 -136%) Bean Alainn
33
33/1(-136%)
(12) Bean Alainn 33/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Milan mare. Dam (h117), 2¼m-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Perfect Man. Finished only fifth in an Irish point (Feb 2024) but has joined a quality yard. Managed only fifth of seven on Irish point debut in February; makes rules debut here.
6
14th (6) (50/1 -52%) Tees Comp's Clive
50
50/1(-52%)
(6) Tees Comp's Clive 50/1, Showed a bit on bumper debut at Newcastle but was well held in a similar event there 4 months later. Not beaten far on bumper debut but tailed off since; makes hurdling debut today.
14:30 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
She's Notjoeking won over course and distance back in April and there should be more to come from her this season. WISE MOVE finished runner-up here in May on his hurdling debut. He tired badly and fell at the last when upped to 2m6f at Cartmel last time, but the six-year-old gets another chance over this more suitable trip. Battle Born Lad is worthy of a second glance, as is Joecooker.
WENDIGO laid some solid foundations in bumpers and with fitness unlikely to be an issue hailing from the Jamie Snowden yard, a successful hurdling debut could well be on the cards. Joecooker shaped with some promise in a Punchestown maiden hurdle prior to winning a Wexford bumper for Mary Doyle and is open to improvement now setting out for a new yard, while She's Notjoeking is another who should have more to offer this season.
This can go to WENDIGO, who won what has turned out to be an above-average bumper for the track at Catterick in January.
(7) Rockola Vogue 11/10, Bumper winner who did well to finish as close as she did when third of 12 in maiden at Worcester (20f, good) on hurdles bow 31 days ago. Entitled to do better. Bumper winner who was a good third on hurdling debut at Worcester last month; respected.
5
2nd (5) (5/1 -186%) Mary Stanford
5
5/1(-186%)
(5) Mary Stanford 5/1, Soldier of Fortune mare who was bought for £42,000 after cosily winning sole start in Irish points and is half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler Gowiththeflow. Highly respected on Rules debut. Wears tongue strap. Impressive in sole Irish point and she's an interesting recruit to hurdling; key player.
1
3rd (1) (10/3 +44%) Brave Jen
3.333333
10/3(+44%)
(1) Brave Jen 10/3, Modest maiden hurdler who returned to something like the form shown on stable debut when second in a thin race at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, travelling best but headed run-in after wandering/hanging right. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. 0-9 over hurdles and has a patchy record but her best form puts her in the picture.
8
4th (8) (9/1 +55%) See A Stride
9
9/1(+55%)
(8) See A Stride 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler who blood vessel when pulled up in handicap at Ballinrobe (22.4f) on final outing and sold out of Gordon Elliott's yard for only 1,000 gns in June. Pulled up in final run for Gordon Elliott and changed hands for 1,000gns since; opposable.
2
5th (2) (66/1 -450%) Giveupyerauldsins
66
66/1(-450%)
(2) Giveupyerauldsins 66/1, £5,000 6-y-o, Ocovango mare. Half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Mrs Barnes. Dam point winner. Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (May 18). 0-7 in points; half-sister to a hurdle winner but needs plenty of progress on rules debut.
6
6th (6) (14/1 -100%) My Lady Elektra
14
14/1(-100%)
(6) My Lady Elektra 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler in France, placed twice in 2023/24. Has left Nick Littmoden and should be up to making presence felt on UK/stable debut. 0-8 over hurdles in France and is probably best watched on her British/stable debut.
9
|PU| (9) (11/1 -38%) Sky Luna
11
11/1(-38%)
(9) Sky Luna 11/1, Winning Irish pointer who was placed on her first 2 starts at Cartmel but ran poorly switched to a handicap last time. Started her hurdling career with two placed efforts and had excuse last time; in the mix.
3
|PU| (3) (40/1 -471%) Jenny Mcfly
40
40/1(-471%)
(3) Jenny Mcfly 40/1, €34,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to useful 2½m hurdle winner O'Moore Park and bumper winner Squadron Commander. Placed both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Apr 28). Needs a market check on Rules debut. Went close in an Irish point in April and needs checking in market on her rules debut.
4
|PU| (4) (200/1 -300%) Kall Me Emma
200
200/1(-300%)
(4) Kall Me Emma 200/1, 25/1, probably needed the run when ninth of 10 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on NH debut. Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies. Tailed off in sole bumper and can only be watched on hurdling/stable debut.
10
|PU| (10) (300/1 -355%) Glen Affric
300
300/1(-355%)
(10) Glen Affric 300/1, Showed nothing when last of 6 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) on debut 18 days ago. Upped in trip for hurdle debut. Tailed off at 100-1 in Warwick bumper last month and is best watched on hurdling debut.
15:05 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Brave Jen found only one too good at Plumpton last month, but has had plenty of chances and the less-exposed ROCKOLA VOGUE makes more appeal. The bumper winner finished a promising third at Worcester on her hurdling bow and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form. Sky Luna struggled on heavy ground last time, but is not without a chance back on a sounder surface.
Those with hurdling experience don't set the bar all that high so it could pay to side with MARY STANFORD, a well-bred mare who changed hands for £42,000 after winning her sole start in Irish points in cosy fashion. Rockola Vougue is entitled to improve on her third at Worcester last month, with My Lady Elektra also worthy of respect based on her French form.
Irish point winner MARY STANFORD looks an interesting recruit to hurdling and she gets the vote ahead of Rockola Vogue.
(7) Choose A Copper 7/2, Had a wind op before signing off for last term with a very good second in 2m4f Perth handicap hurdle in April. Resumes over fences now and one to consider. Runner-up off 1lb lower over hurdles in final run last term; respected on chase debut.
3
2nd (3) (10/1 -25%) Dare To Shout
10
10/1(-25%)
(3) Dare To Shout 10/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler here but he ended last season when pulled up at Ayr (21.4f) in April. Goes chasing now after breathing surgery and he's much respected given he has won off a break. Won over hurdles here; had another wind op and needs watching in market on chase debut.
4
3rd (4) (10/1 -300%) Pinot Rouge
10
10/1(-300%)
(4) Pinot Rouge 10/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and landed a 3m listed hurdle at Doncaster before posting a fine fourth in Grade 1 Sefton Hurdle at Aintree later in spring. Most interesting chasing debutante. Fourth in a Grade 1 on final hurdle run; interesting contender on handicap/chase debut.
1
4th (1) (16/1 -129%) Benson
16
16/1(-129%)
(1) Benson 16/1, Gained his sixth win over hurdles at Musselburgh (19.8f) on New Year's Day but he has finished well held on his last 4 starts. Reverts to fences but others are more persuasive. Struggled in last four hurdle runs and has plenty to prove back over fences on return.
2
5th (2) (5/2 +38%) Cannock Park
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(2) Cannock Park 5/2, Point winner who landed a Bangor bumper and Cheltenham maiden hurdle last autumn. Placed twice in Graded novice hurdles subsequently so he can't be discounted starting out over fences here. Bumper and hurdle winner; should have a future over fences and he's respected on return.
5
|F| (5) (14/1 -17%) Rich Spirit
14
14/1(-17%)
(5) Rich Spirit 14/1, Has some fairly useful winning hurdles form to his name but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) final run last season. Needs to get back on track on his return/fencing bow. Failed to complete in final two runs last season and has something to prove on chase debut.
6
|PU| (6) (5/1 -11%) Bertie's Ballet
5
5/1(-11%)
(6) Bertie's Ballet 5/1, Useful dual bumper winner who made up into a useful hurdler last season, scoring at Haydock (2m). Very much one to consider on his first go in this sphere. Generally progressive over hurdles and needs a close look on handicap/chase debut.
15:45 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CANNOCK PARK had a fine novice hurdle campaign last season, twice placed at Graded level, and Paul Robson's gelding is an exciting addition to the chasing ranks. He is fancied to take to this discipline and, having gone well fresh in the past, a bold bid beckons. There are plenty in the way of dangers, however, with Choose A Copper and Bertie's Ballet topping the list. The former won a novice hurdle at this venue on his seasonal debut last year and he is likely to improve for a fence, while Conor O'Farrell's mount also performed to a decent level over the smaller obstacles last term.
Little chasing form to go on but Susan Corbett's point scorer PINOT ROUGE looks the way to go given he signed off over hurdles last term with a cracking fourth in Aintree's Grade 1 Sefton Hurdle. Bertie's Ballet and Choose A Copper both start out over fences too and can have a say given their hurdles form. Cannock Park also brings potential and completes the shortlist.
The vote goes to CHOOSE A COPPER, who was runner-up off a similar mark over hurdles last time and is a half-brother to a useful chaser.
(8) Shoeshine Boy 9/2, Tongue tied and got off the mark for the season in 13-runner handicap at Ayr in February. Followed up from a 3 lb higher mark at Kelso and remained in form since. Might need this return, though. On a fair mark and pushed Our Sam close in this 12 months ago on reappearance.
1
2nd (1) (8/1 -167%) Dinons
8
8/1(-167%)
(1) Dinons 8/1, C&D winner. Going the right way and improved again to win 9-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to firm, 14/1) 76 days ago, driven clear. Definite player. Pulled up over fences but has won both handicap hurdles since returning from an absence.
2
3rd (2) (5/2 +29%) Supremely West
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(2) Supremely West 5/2, Most progessive last term, scoring at Carlisle and Sedgefield and blinkered when a fine second of 17 in handicap at Uttoxeter final run. Merits plenty of respect on return from 7 months off. 5-10 under rules and very consistent; up the weights but rates a solid contender.
4
4th (4) (18/1 -157%) Velasco
18
18/1(-157%)
(4) Velasco 18/1, Thrived towards the end of last season, winning three of her last four outings. Returns on a tough mark as a result and is likely to need it after 6 months off. Progressing but he's 6lb higher than at Musselburgh and they also claimed 5lb then.
5
5th (5) (3/1 +40%) Kandor
3
3/1(+40%)
(5) Kandor 3/1, Successful Irish pointer who left his hurdling debut form well behind when winning 12-runner novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good, 9/1) in July. Acquitted himself well under a penalty at Kelso last time and is one to note on handicap bow. Improving novice who bumped into a useful one last time; up in trip for handicap debut.
3
6th (3) (20/1 +20%) Aramax
20
20/1(+20%)
(3) Aramax 20/1, Dual winner last season who didn't appear to relish the emphasis on speed wehn seventh at Kelso last time. May be closer to form here. On a good mark again but has to leave his recent form behind.
6
|F| (6) (6/1 +57%) Our Sam
6
6/1(+57%)
(6) Our Sam 6/1, Bagged a hat-trick of victories last summer but hasn't been in top form so far this term. C&D winner who is becoming well treated. Won this last year off 1lb higher but below his best so far in 2024; has a bit to prove.
9
|U| (9) (11/1 +45%) Half Track
11
11/1(+45%)
(9) Half Track 11/1, Out of form when last seen 22 months ago and has plenty to prove on return. Didn't take to fences and beaten 16l on return to hurdling; absent since late 2022.
16:20 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SUPREMELY WEST progressed throughout last season, finishing off with a fine second behind subsequent Grade 3 scorer Gwennie May Boy at Uttoxeter in March, and he looks the one to beat on his return to action. Veteran performer Dinons has won his last couple of hurdle appearances, including a 10-length victory over C&D in June, and he must enter calculations. Handicap debutant Kandor has the advantage of a recent run and could be dangerous.
SKYJACK HIJACK is improving now and won with some authority at Perth last time, so he takes preference over Supremely West and Dinons, who were also going the right way when last seen.
Open. KANDOR has to be of interest on his handicap debut and there's good reason to believe that he'll stay this longer trip.
(1) Caldwell 9/2, Notched second hurdles success in a Worcester handicap in July and creditable placed efforts on his last 2 starts in that sphere. Will be a threat if his jumping passes the test now switched to fences. Makes chase debut after some solid runs on the Flat and over hurdles.
8
2nd (8) (5/1 -67%) Kicksaftersix
5
5/1(-67%)
(8) Kicksaftersix 5/1, Opened his account in a handicap chase over C&D last summer and, having found just one too good on each of his last 2 starts at Cartmel, this 8-y-o is a major player. C&D winner last summer and returns after two good seconds at Cartmel.
5
3rd (5) (11/2 -83%) Minella Youngy
5.5
11/2(-83%)
(5) Minella Youngy 11/2, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and opened his account for Iain Jardine in a Kelso handicap chase off 5 lb higher last September. Best effort so far for this yard when fourth of 14 back hurdling last time but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to build on that back over fences here. Chase winner and returned to some form over hurdles last time at Kelso.
3
4th (3) (9/1 +44%) Okavango Delta
9
9/1(+44%)
(3) Okavango Delta 9/1, Not far off his hurdling best when runner-up on second chase start at Catterick last November. However, he has failed to reproduce that form in 3 subsequent starts and needs to get back on track on this return/debut for new yard. Five runs over fences, two respectable; not so his last two but the ability is there.
2
5th (2) (16/1 0%) Valence D'aumont
16
16/1(0%)
(2) Valence D'aumont 16/1, Five-time chase winner but he hasn't shown a great deal of spark since returning from a lengthy absence last October. Lost his way after an absence but latest run was a tad more encouraging.
9
6th (9) (9/2 +31%) Kingston Rock
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(9) Kingston Rock 9/2, Well held in bumpers and just modest form over hurdles, pulled up here when last seen in March. Since undergone a wind op and sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to make a winning start over fences. Failed to offer all that much in four handicap hurdles; mark has dropped; chase debut.
10
7th (10) (50/1 +24%) Edmond Dantes
50
50/1(+24%)
(10) Edmond Dantes 50/1, Went close over hurdles here last summer but it's been all downhill since and he didn't jump at all well on his sole previous attempt in this sphere. Tailed off when he last tried chasing and been in no form over hurdles the last 12 months.

|PU| (7) (8/1 +76%) Uncle Mac
8
8/1(+76%)
(7) Uncle Mac 8/1, Hinted at ability over hurdles for Ben Pauling/Rose Dobbin but offered precious little on chase debut/sole start for Hugh Burns at Market Rasen in June. Now with another new yard. Just minor promise as a hurdler and was tailed off on chase debut in June.

|PU| (4) (11/2 +39%) Valleyview Tommy
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(4) Valleyview Tommy 11/2, Runner-up on his sole completed start in maiden points and placed in a couple of maiden hurdles towards the end of last year. However, he has failed to progress in handicaps since and improvement needed now tackling fences in new headgear. Lightly raced maiden hurdler; could make a better chaser and cheekpieces are added.

|PU| (6) (14/1 -133%) Going Mobile
14
14/1(-133%)
(6) Going Mobile 14/1, Proved suited by the drop back in trip when registering his third C&D success in June. Effort at Cartmel the following month was poor and absent since but he will have a fighting chance if he puts his best foot forward. C&D winner this summer; latest Cartmel run was too bad to be true.
16:55 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CALDWELL has enjoyed a consistent spell of form during the summer months and the seven-year-old may have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account over the larger obstacles at the first time of asking. Kicksaftersix is unlikely to be inconvenienced by dropping back to 2m following his second at Cartmel in August. Others to consider include June C&D winner Going Mobile and Kingston Rock.
KICKSAFTERSIX has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to regain the winning thread. That said, if Caldwell takes to fences at the first attempt he will be a big danger and an on-song Going Mobile would also be a threat.
Caldwell should go well but preference is for KICKSAFTERSIX, a course winner who has been knocking on the door.
(3) Lost Frequencies 5/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and showed up quite well when fourth of 13 at Perth on Rules debut five months ago. Should be involved. Runner-up in a slow-ground Irish point and shaped nicely when a staying-on fourth at Perth.

2nd (1) (1/1 +27%) Admiral Stewart
1
1/1(+27%)
(1) Admiral Stewart 1/1, €78,000 3-y-o, £130,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser The Crafty Butcher. Dam unraced. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Jan 2024). Worth a chance to make a winning Rules debut. Fetched £130,000 after winning a 3m Irish point (soft) by 6l at the beginning of the year.

3rd (6) (14/1 -56%) Kelvin Forlonge
14
14/1(-56%)
(6) Kelvin Forlonge 14/1, £35,000 3-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Dam, unplaced sole start in French hurdle, half-sister to useful hurdle winner around 2½m winner Gaston Phebus. £35,000 3yo; second foal; dam pulled up 2m1f hurdle; stable runs two newcomers.
7
4th (7) (10/1 +50%) Thirty Bob
10
10/1(+50%)
(7) Thirty Bob 10/1, £44,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart staying chaser Lake View Lad by Oscar). Worth a market check. Cost £44,000 and he's related to some smart jumpers; interesting.
2
5th (2) (14/1 -17%) Gorvennec
14
14/1(-17%)
(2) Gorvennec 14/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Half-brother to French hurdlers/chasers Gorvello and Gorvino. Dam 2¼m hurdle winner in France. Made frame completed start in points. Won his final Irish point in pleasing style and then made £38,000 at the sales.
5
6th (5) (11/2 -10%) Farmer Jimmy
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(5) Farmer Jimmy 11/2, Mondialiste gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Portstorm. Something to work on when third at Wetherby 6 months ago and he's worthy of interest with the potential for better. Lacks some scope but positives to take from his third of 13 on soft at Wetherby.
9
7th (9) (25/1 -56%) Lizzie Luna
25
25/1(-56%)
(9) Lizzie Luna 25/1, Better than result both starts to date in bumpers, travelling with purpose when fifth at Kelso four months ago. May yet have a bigger effort in her. Has shown some ability in her first two bumpers but others have shown more.
8
8th (8) (10/1 +17%) Walk On Son
10
10/1(+17%)
(8) Walk On Son 10/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Azertyuiop. £50,000 3yo; seventh foal; dam unraced half-sister to top-class 2m chaser Azertyuiop.
10
9th (10) (150/1 -50%) Royal Romance
150
150/1(-50%)
(10) Royal Romance 150/1, Some appeal on pedigree but showed nothing in a C&D bumper five months ago, so easily passed over. Tailed off here in May when trained by Gillian Boanas; went off at 80-1.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ADMIRAL STEWART makes plenty of appeal on paper following his purchase for 130,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale in January after winning a point-to-point earlier that month. The five-year-old represents a stable which has continued to build in terms of quality over the past few seasons and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning debut under Rules. Lost Frequencies wasn't disgraced when fourth at Perth in April and a repeat of that gives him a chance, while Farmer Jimmy is capable of stepping forward from his third at Wetherby in March.
ADMIRAL STEWART has joined a good outfit after winning a point and he takes preference over Lost Frequencies, who made a solid start under Rules at Perth five months ago. Farmer Jimmy is open to improvement and also worth considering.
Jamie Snowden is 4-5 with his bumper runners here and that record alone heightens interest in ADMIRAL STEWART.
