12:45 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

IDY WOOD confirmed the promise of his opening two victories when producing a big effort in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month, outrunning odds of 22/1 to finish third. Jamie Snowden looks to have a useful novice on his hands and the five-year-old is very hard to oppose with a lot less on his plate. Greenhill Gardens was travelling well enough when falling two out over C&D on his seasonal reappearance and he can battle it out for the silver medal with Indian Louis, a point-to-point winner who got the hang of things too late on his hurdling bow.

IDY WOOD is taking a huge drop in class after an excellent third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and shouldn't have any trouble resuming winning ways. Stablemates Indian Louis and Greenhill Gardens can fight out minor honours.

Jamie Snowden looks to have found a good opportunity to get another win under the belt of the penalised IDY WOOD.

SERIOUS EGO is back for more after scoring with authority over C&D under today's pilot 12 days ago, and a 5lb rise may not be enough to halt the Nicky Richards-trained gelding if he can reproduce that improved effort. Having been put up 17lb, largely due to winning two mares' races at Newcastle, it looked as though the handicapper may have caught up with Our Laura B when fourth over 2m4f here in June, but she weakened late on that day and might appreciate this drop in trip. Malangen returned to form when not beaten far at Carlisle and has subsequently slipped back to his last winning mark.

With Conor Rabbitt on board, SERIOUS EGO took advantage of a career-low mark over C&D last time and a 5 lb rise back up in the weights might not be enough to prevent him following up. Our Laura B has been progressive in handicaps and is respected on her return to action, while Malangen can give his running once more.

The tentative suggestion is APPLAUS, whose form earlier in the year suggests that he might just have enough to defy this mark.

13:55 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Classic Maestro hinted at ability on his debut under Rules in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield and he can build on that, but he is bred to appreciate further and preference is for INOX ALLEN. Connections paid 40,000 pounds for the five-year-old following a victory between the flags in May and Lucinda Russell looks to have found a good opportunity for him to make a winning start in this sphere. Cream Of The West may prove best of the remainder.

INOX ALLEN has joined Lucinda Russell after landing a point and he's well capable of defending his unbeaten record in a thin event on hurdling debut. Classic Maestro is the likeliest to capitalise if the favourite underperforms and Cream of The West could get involved.

Point winner INOX ALLEN makes his rules debut in a very weak race and this should be an excellent opportunity.

Heavy ground combined with the lack of a recent outing possibly contributed to KINGSTON BRIDGE's moderate sixth at Carlisle, but has the run is under his belt now and he has handled testing conditions in the past, so is given another chance. Clovis Boy showed handicapping will be more his cup of tea when fourth on his comeback, also at Carlisle, and is dangerous off the same mark. Solway Molly was ahead of him in second, but then failed to back that performance up at Sedgefield.

If able to build on his creditable handicap debut fourth in a big field at Carlisle last month, CLOVIS BOY could be the answer. Noble Affair is second choice, returned to the scene of her breakthrough success during the spring, while Kingston Bridge should come on for his reappearance run and is also in with a shout.

With the reappearance under his belt, KINGSTON BRIDGE (nap) could well resume his progress.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LISLORAN made good strides over fences last season and he had possibly had enough on his final appearance of the campaign at Carlisle. He reappears over the smaller obstacles off a comparatively lenient rating and providing he is near to peak fitness, he can take advantage. If he does need the run, Lacila Blue might be the chief beneficiary after an encouraging third on her Kelso return. Show No Fear and Hostile Hotelier are handicap debutants to consider.

SHOW NO FEAR could be thrown in on the pick of his Irish form and seemed to be on the way back at Newcastle last week, so gets the nod over Lacila Blue, who made a sound return in maiden company last month. Lisloran is also interesting from his lower hurdles mark.

Given his effort when placed in Ireland and a good recent AW run, perhaps the juvenile SHOW NO FEAR can take advantage of these terms.

Jamie Snowden has his team in top form and is always worth a look when he sends one to Hexham. Of his three bumpers runners at this venue in the past five years, two have won, which all bodes well for the chances of WENDIGO, who cost 70,000 pounds after landing an Irish point-to-point and made an encouraging beginning to his career under Rules when third at Worcester. Court Case was beaten a fair way into third over C&D on his introduction but should step forward, while St John's Road is related to plenty of winners so is the pick of the newcomers, and potentially the biggest danger.

Worcester third WENDIGO looks very much the one to beat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Lucinda Russell newcomer St John's Road.

Point winner WENDIGO was a promising third at Worcester on last month's bumper debut and should be tough to beat today.

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.
