13:40 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1/1 +0%) All The Glory	1 1/1(+0%)	(3) All The Glory 1/1, Fair bumper performer left her initial efforts in this sphere well behind the last twice, finishing third in a Haydock maiden last month before going close at Chepstow (19.4f, good) recently. Step down in trip may help her see things out better and has cheekpieces enlisted. Good shout. 0-9 under rules but went close at Chepstow last time; cheekpieces on; big chance on form.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -33%) Titanium Moon	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Titanium Moon 16/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Last of 5 on handicap debut (10/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) latest outing. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Made frame three times on Flat; has joined good yard for hurdling; has to be considered.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 -38%) Pure Theatre	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(2) Pure Theatre 2.75/1, Posted promising second of 9 in novice at Chepstow (16f, soft) on hurdles bow and didn't need to match that form to comfortably open her account at Exeter last month. Should be in mix again under penalty. Comfortable Exeter winner; more required under penalty but low mileage and it's possible.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +64%) Noble Affair	4 4/1(+64%)	(1) Noble Affair 4/1, Quickly back on track when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.1f, soft) 19 days ago, perhaps value for a bit extra having helped set sound gallop. Carries penalty down in trip. Second in this race last year and won 2m4f handicap here last month; in the mix.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 -47%) Cnoc Na Si	11 11/1(-47%)	(4) Cnoc Na Si 11/1, Placed on first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers for Willie Mullins but weakened worryingly quickly on her final outing for that yard. Makes hurdles debut after 10 months off with market perhaps the best guide. Well-bred 6yo; placed in bumpers before amiss latest start; retains potential now hurdling.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 11/1 (1) NOBLE AFFAIR, 2nd - 1/1 (3) ALL THE GLORY, 3rd - 2/1 (2) PURE THEATRE.

ALL THE GLORY was only beaten a neck into second at Chepstow a couple of weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see her go one better here. Noble Affair got off the mark over 2m4f at this venue last month and is an obvious threat to the selection, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Another to note is Pure Theatre.

ALL THE GLORY has returned from a winter break an improved performer and she's taken to get off the mark here, the step back to the minimum trip perhaps suitable given she way she has shaped over further. Pure Theatre and Noble Affair are penalised after last-time-out victories but should go well again.

A 0-9 record is a slight concern but ALL THE GLORY has the best form and is taken to get off the mark.

14:15 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (2.5/1 +58%) Lights Are Green	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(9) Lights Are Green 2.5/1, Point winner didn't make much impact in a trio of starts over hurdles over shorter trips but looked sure to be placed when falling at the last over C&D on chase debut last month. Respected. Made a bold bid before a last-fence fall over C&D on his recent chase debut; possibilities.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.5/1 -11%) No Regrets	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(5) No Regrets 2.5/1, Capitalised on a much-reduced mark to land 7-runner handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Still 20 lb below peak hurdles mark and would be foolish to dismiss now that he's appeared to get the hang of things as a chaser. Off the mark over fences when beating a clear second at Wetherby; big player again up 4lb.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 +0%) Avoid De Master	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Avoid De Master 12/1, Won over C&D and at Market Rasen early last season but has essentially struggled for form since his next start. Given a chance by the handicapper but is tricky to fancy. On dangerous mark but he's been pulled up last twice and needs to turn things around.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 -20%) Storm Lorenzo	6 6/1(-20%)	(6) Storm Lorenzo 6/1, C&D winner in September but has looked a tricky ride both starts since, going in snatches before unseating over longer trip in November. Worth market check on return from winter break. Both wins have come over C&D and the first was after a break; in the mix on his return.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +14%) Grange Ranger	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Grange Ranger 12/1, Sprang a surprise at Wetherby in November and somewhat hinted at a revival in first-time cheekpieces when fourth there last month, albeit typically held back by clumsy jumping. Needs to take another step forward. Defied this mark at Wetherby (3m) in November but he's been generally disappointing since.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -10%) Hold The Note	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Hold The Note 11/1, Returned to form from out of the blue to score at Carlisle in March but finished well held back in novice company at Ayr (24.1f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago. Dropped 4 lb but others preferred. Won by 7l on his penultimate run and he's respected on this big drop back in grade.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (8/1 +60%) Along Long Story	8 8/1(+60%)	(8) Along Long Story 8/1, Maiden hunter winner at Thurles (25f) last year for Sean Aherne but showed nothing for this yard last term and he's very hard to fancy again. Won a hunter chase last March but he's struggled since and a major turnaround is needed.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 +10%) Macavity	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Macavity 9/1, Dual point winner who landed an Aintree bumper on Rules debut last year but generally underwhelmed as a hurdler and hasn't shown much more in a pair of starts over fences so far. Too soon to fully dismiss but he has questions to answer. 0-7 for current yard and has struggled under both codes in last four runs; plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.25/1 (5) NO REGRETS 2nd: 6.5/1 (4) UPTOWN HARRY 3rd: 6/1 (9) LIGHTS ARE GREEN

NO REGRETS returned to winning ways with a narrow success over this trip at Wetherby in March and the son of Presenting may well be capable of defying a 4lb rise here. Uptown Harry also scored on his most recent outing and has to of some interest, while Hold The Note and Storm Lorenzo are the pick of the remaining field.

NO REGRETS got off the mark over fences last time and remains potentially well treated on his hurdles form, so is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of fellow last-time-out winner Uptown Harry. Lights Are Green is perhaps the unknown quantity having shown more promise on his chase debut here recently.

The vote goes to NO REGRETS, who is still lightly raced over fences and beat a clear second over 3m at Wetherby last time.

14:50 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.12/1 -77%) Chance The Robin	2.12 2.12/1(-77%)	(1) Chance The Robin 2.12/1, Runner-up on sole start in points and build on encouraging Rules debut when landing a 5-runner bumper at this track. Solid showing when second here recently and should take all the beating now hurdling. Won a bumper here in March and he's an interesting contender on his hurdling debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (1.5/1 +40%) Swallows Song	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(8) Swallows Song 1.5/1, Made a winning start in Sedgefield bumper in November. Fair form so far over hurdles but is already beginning to look exposed. Should be thereabouts. Bumper winner who sets the standard on his best hurdle form at up to 3m; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Grand Du Nord	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Grand Du Nord 4.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who bounced back to form when second in a handicap at Wetherby 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on now and should be involved if able to reproduce that sort of performance. 0-10 over hurdles but he went very close in a 3m handicap last time; in the mix.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +64%) Now Go Soldier Go	12 12/1(+64%)	(6) Now Go Soldier Go 12/1, Just a glimmer of promise so far over hurdles, but stable's runners always warrant some respect on these shores, so interesting to see if there's any strength behind him in the betting. This big step up in trip could help but he needs something of a transformation.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 -79%) Strike Of Lighting	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Strike Of Lighting 50/1, Poor hurdler who was below form in a handicap at Carlisle last month and faces a stiff task here. 0-12 under rules and he has stacks to find back in a maiden; easy to look elsewhere.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +0%) Gege Ville	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Gege Ville 5/1, Landed an Ayr bumper in cosy fashion on debut and, while he has only shown modest form so far over hurdles, there is scope for improvement if his jumping gets better. No progress over hurdles so far but he looks a possible improver upped to this trip.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (250/1 -279%) Third Avenue	250 250/1(-279%)	(9) Third Avenue 250/1, Poor on Flat nowadays (respectable effort last time) and showed nothing so far over hurdles. Easily opposed. Modest Flat performer, who has struggled in both his hurdle runs (2m5f/2m1f); no appeal.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (300/1 -355%) Intofocus	300 300/1(-355%)	(5) Intofocus 300/1, Telescope gelding. Dam point winner. Failed to complete all 3 starts in points, pulled up latest (Apr 8). Makes little appeal. Has failed to complete in three points this spring and can only be watched on rules debut.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (300/1 -200%) Parelli Power	300 300/1(-200%)	(10) Parelli Power 300/1, Tailed off in pair of bumpers and over hurdles. Has finished tailed in all five runs, including three hurdle events (2m-2m4f) this year.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Hexham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 1.2/1 (1) CHANCE THE ROBIN, 2nd - 2.5/1 (8) SWALLOWS SONG, 3rd - 4.5/1 (4) GRAND DU NORD.

Swallows Song is arguably the pick of those with previous hurdling experience based on his third at Kelso two starts ago, although Grand Du Nord and Gege Ville also hold valid form claims. That said, CHANCE THE ROBIN has shown plenty of promise in bumpers and may well be able to get off the mark over timber at the first time of asking.

Bumper winner CHANCE THE ROBIN already has experience over obstacles and, upped markedly in trip for his hurdling debut, he looks the one to beat. Swallows Song looks the main threat ahead of Grand du Nord, who ran with credit at Wetherby in April.

Preference is for course bumper winner CHANCE THE ROBIN, who looks interesting switched to hurdling for a yard that won this last year.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.2/1 +26%) Matts Commission	1.2 1.2/1(+26%)	(3) Matts Commission 1.2/1, Prolific in points and has shown fair form in this sphere. Out of his depth when ninth in the Foxhunters' at Aintree a month ago and boasts leading claims back in calmer waters. Runner-up in the last two renewals; outclassed last time at Aintree..
2	8 2nd (8) (2.25/1 -13%) Cullin Hills	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(8) Cullin Hills 2.25/1, £2,500 4-y-o, Millenary mare. Dam ran once over hurdles. Multiple point winner, including last 4 starts (latest May 1). One to be interested in on Rules debut. Has won her last four points and looks one of the main players..
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 +50%) Whateveryousay	25 25/1(+50%)	(7) Whateveryousay 25/1, £40,000 3-y-o, £2,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Robyndeglory. Dam, maiden jumper in Britain/France. Maiden pointer, third last time (May 1). Only a 6yo and his latest third was his best run yet in a point; still opposable..
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 -52%) So Be It	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) So Be It 100/1, Maiden pointer (ran out last time) who has yet to achieve anything under Rules. Up against it. Competitive when running out in his latest point but he's opposable..
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 +0%) Design Plan	18 18/1(+0%)	(1) Design Plan 18/1, €3,000 3-y-o, Blueprint gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Mizen Raven. Dam unraced. Wears cheekpieces. Dual point winner, third last time (Apr 29). Not dismissed. Has been running well in his recent points but he's only 2-34 in that scene..
6th	6 6th (6) (5.5/1 -47%) Vent D'automne	5.5 5.5/1(-47%)	(6) Vent D'automne 5.5/1, Showed a good deal of ability for Willie Mullins earlier in his career and has done well in points for this yard, winning his last two. Makes plenty of appeal on hunter debut. Debut over regulation fences but he's a prolific pointer who has won his last three..
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (10/1 -11%) Torngat	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Torngat 10/1, Modest chaser. 9/4, first run since leaving Tristan Davidson when second of 5 in hunter chase at Kelso (23.4f, good) 26 days ago. Third in a point since but needs to up his game. Ran well to finish second in a 2m7f hunter chase at Kelso (good) last month..
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 +24%) Red Opium	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) Red Opium 25/1, First run under Rules since leaving Jacqueline Coward when 100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in hunter chase at Cheltenham (26f, good to soft) on debut over fences 8 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Pulled up last week at Cheltenham when 100-1; held by Cullin Hills on a recent point clash.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (80/1 -264%) Matthew Man	80 80/1(-264%)	(2) Matthew Man 80/1, Modest form at best under Rules but he's a dual point winner, beating his sole rival easily last time. Not completely dismissed back under Rules. Beaten in a match last time and before then he finished well behind Design Plan..

LTO Selection:

15:25 Hexham Hunter Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top 3 are: 1. 3.75/1 (6) VENT D'AUTOMNE - has shown ability in points and has won his last three. Makes a hunter debut and has plenty of appeal. 2. 2/1 (8) CULLIN HILLS - has won her last four points and looks like one of the main players. One to be interested in on Rules debut. 3. 1.63/1 (3) MATTS COMMISSION - has finished runner-up in the last two renewals. Out of his depth last time at Aintree but has leading claims back in a calmer waters.

Formerly with Willie Mullins, VENT D'AUTOMNE has been in excellent nick of late in the point-to-point sphere and he is taken to continue that good form on his return to Rules. Similar comments apply to the in-form Cullin Hills, while Matts Commission will need to improve on his effort in the Aintree Foxhunters. Design Plan and Torngat cannot be ruled out either.

MATTS COMMISSION was far from discredited when ninth at Aintree last time and should find this much easier, so he's worth siding with despite the presence of Vent d'Automne and Cullin Hills who have both been in excellent form between the flags.

Progressive pointers CULLIN HILLS and Vent D'automne could be the way to go.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3.33/1 +39%) Moonlight Glory	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(7) Moonlight Glory 3.33/1, Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and gained a deserved first success for this yard in 2m Newcastle handicap in February. Went close over C&D last month and she should give another good account. Went very close in big field over C&D (soft) last time; respected off 3lb higher.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Les's Legacy	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(5) Les's Legacy 3.5/1, Two 2m course wins last year and 21f success at Kelso in March shows he's equally as effective over longer trips. Possibly failed to stay over 23f when fourth of 12 back at Kelso since, shaping as if still in form. Player. Triple hurdle winner but looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -64%) Applaus	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Applaus 18/1, Two wins at Carlisle over the winter and another good run there when second last month. Not on a going day over 2m here last Saturday, though. Five-time hurdle winner but he's not easy to predict and has never won over this far.
4	8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Serious Ego	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(8) Serious Ego 5.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Good third of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Carlisle (17f, soft) 55 days ago. Can make presence felt. 2-33 over hurdles but he's on a dangerous mark and was an eyecatching third last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.33/1 +61%) Socks Off	3.33 3.33/1(+61%)	(6) Socks Off 3.33/1, Won Sedgefield handicap in January. Respectable efforts over hurdles on next 3 starts but well held on the Flat last month. 1-11 over hurdles and he's still 6lb higher than for his win; has some work to do.
6th	9 6th (9) (3.5/1 +50%) Star Vantage	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(9) Star Vantage 3.5/1, 18/1, in process of showing improved form when departing at the final flight at Newcastle 4 weeks ago, still a length to the good at the time. Another to consider. Was in the lead when he fell at the last at Newcastle (2m4f) on his return; shortlisted.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Predicted finish: 1. 3.5/1 (4) FABULEUX DU CLOS 2. 5.5/1 (7) MOONLIGHT GLORY 3. 5.5/1 (8) SERIOUS EGO

Narrowly denied over C&D last month, MOONLIGHT GLORY can gain compensation off a 3lb higher mark and notch up a fourth career success. That may be at the main expense of the capable Serious Ego and Fabuleux Du Clos, who got off the mark in fine style at Newcastle in March. A winner of a valuable handicap at Kelso on his penultimate outing, Les's Legacy is another to consider.

Plenty with chances. LES'S LEGACY was possibly just stretched by 23f at Kelso last time and gets the nod back over shorter at a track where he has a good record. Star Vantage, Fabuleux du Clos and Serious Ego head the dangers.

Top of the list is FABULEUX DU CLOS (nap) who showed a good attitude when justifying favouritism on his handicap debut at Newcastle.

1	3 1st (3) (2.25/1 +50%) Fringill Dike	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(3) Fringill Dike 2.25/1, Won three 2m novice events on the spin here last year and wasn't disgraced in a couple of handicaps subsequently. On back foot after early mistake last time and appeals as type to bounce back quickly with blinkers applied for chase bow. Three-time novice hurdle winner here; interesting on chasing debut with blinkers fitted.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +14%) First Revolution	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) First Revolution 12/1, Three-time winner at Sedgefield last summer and found himself too far behind when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, soft) 37 days ago. Now below last winning mark and could make more impact. Had possible excuses last time and comes into the reckoning on three 2m1f wins in 2022.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.25/1 +55%) Well Educated	2.25 2.25/1(+55%)	(2) Well Educated 2.25/1, Won 3 times over hurdles here last season and shaped well from a long way back when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at this course (16.2f, soft) last week. Interesting chase newcomer. Goes well here; encouraging return over hurdles last week; big player if taking to fences.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 -340%) Edmond Dantes	11 11/1(-340%)	(4) Edmond Dantes 11/1, Latest win came at Market Rasen in February 2022 and he largely held his form subsequently, though appeared to resent the application of cheekpieces on his most recent outing at Newcastle. Not discounted on first start since Boxing Day. One win from 12 attempts; needs to bounce back from a poor run on Boxing Day.
5th	6 5th (6) (8.5/1 -21%) Going Mobile	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(6) Going Mobile 8.5/1, Two of his trio of wins last season came over C&D, with the most recent one coming at Carlisle in March. Badly failed to repeat that performance last time but can't be fully ruled out from same mark. Dual C&D winner but beaten soon after halfway here last time; not one to rely on.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Sao	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(1) Sao 3.33/1, Won over C&D in 2020 and was better than the bare result when beaten 5 lengths into second at Wetherby last time, having lost plenty of ground at the start. Sets the standard. Shaped as if returning to form when second at Wetherby; commands major respect.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 2.5/1 (1) SAO and 5.5/1 (2) WELL EDUCATED both appear to have strong form at the course and are interesting contenders. Therefore, they are more likely to finish in the top three. As for the third horse, 4.5/1 (3) FRINGILL DIKE has won three novice hurdle races at the course and is an interesting contender on chasing debut with blinkers fitted. Therefore, the predicted order for the top three finishers is: 2.5/1 (1) SAO, 5.5/1 (2) WELL EDUCATED, 4.5/1 (3) FRINGILL DIKE.

SAO's handicap mark has been in decline of late, but Rebecca Menzies' charge proved he still retains ability when finishing a good second at Wetherby last month. He's fancied to go one better, possibly at the main expense of Going Mobile, who would hold every chance if able to bounce back from a disappointing C&D effort. Edmond Dantes might not be far away either.

The strong-travelling SAO was inconvenienced by a ragged start at Wetherby last time and can build on the promise of that effort to go one better here. Well Educated has a fine record over hurdles at this course and arrives on the back of a positive performance last week, so can pose the main threat on his chase bow, with fellow chase newcomer Fringill Dike also respected.

Topweight Sao has form in a much higher grade but the vote goes to course specialist FRINGILL DIKE, blinkered on his chasing debut.

2	7 2nd (7) (1.62/1 -95%) Looking As You Are	1.62 1.62/1(-95%)	(7) Looking As You Are 1.62/1, Passing Glance filly. 10/1, second of 11 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 31 days ago, closing all way to line. The one to beat. Close second at Southwell on debut and may well come on for the run; leading contender.

Not too much appeal on paper but yard's runners can't be dismissed here. Represents yard with 24% strike-rate in British bumpers, but pulled up in two Irish points.
4	8 4th (8) (50/1 +24%) Tread Softly Now	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Tread Softly Now 50/1, Champs Elysees filly. Eighth of 11 in bumper (150/1) at Perth (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 15 days ago. Needs more. No threat when 18l eighth of 11 at Perth two weeks ago; improvement possible but necessary.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +44%) Houxty Belle	9 9/1(+44%)	(2) Houxty Belle 9/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Dam (c79/h94), maiden hurdler/pulled up sole start in chases (stayed 3m), half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) As I Am. Yard 3-55 in bumpers over last 5 years.

Based on the summary, the horse with the highest chance of winning is 0.83/1 (7) LOOKING AS YOU ARE, followed by 2.25/1 (4) STADIUM TALK and 16/1 (2) HOUXTY BELLE.

LOOKING AS YOU ARE did well to finish second on debut last month, when Lily Pinchin dropped her whip a long way from home. The daughter of Passing Glance is likely to improve for that initial experience, and she can find the necessary progress to score on her second start. Queen Of Hindsight is the main danger, while point winner Stadium Talk rates best of the rest.

LOOKING AS YOU ARE sets a clear standard in this company and should prove hard to beat. John McConnell's point winner Stadium Talk can perhaps pose the biggest threat on Rules debut, with Queen of Hindsight best of the rest.

The clear pick of those with rules form is Looking As You Are but slight preference is for the Irish point winner STADIUM TALK.
