1	5 1st (5) (33/1 +18%) Colonel Manderson		33 33/1(+18%)																															(5) Colonel Manderson 33/1, Fair 3m hurdles winner for Dan Skelton but good deal to prove judged on his exploits to date for present yard. Blinkered first time. Unplaced in seven starts for this yard; blinkers on.
2	4 2nd (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Haveyougotmymoney		7.5 7.5/1(-36%)																															(4) Haveyougotmymoney 7.5/1, Made an encouraging return from 5-month break when second at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in May. Well held over 2m here next time but quickly back on track when third over 2½m at Worcester in June. Freshened up since and steps up in trip on his return with cheekpieces also added. Wind surgery since Worcester third in June; up in trip and cheekpieces on.
3	7 3rd (7) (0.83/1 +56%) My Gift To You		0.83 0.83/1(+56%)																															(7) My Gift To You 0.83/1, Form has taken off since leaving Paul Webber, winning handicap hurdle and chases around 2½m in recent months. Improved again when second at Cartmel last week and another bold showing is on the cards. Lost unbeaten stable record last week but still makes plenty of appeal.
4	9 4th (9) (6.5/1 +28%) Dakota Beat		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(9) Dakota Beat 6.5/1, Improved to win 9-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good, 11/1) 33 days ago. Far from an obvious type to follow up. Bangor winner at this trip last month; now 2-23 over hurdles; this looks tougher.
5th	8 5th (8) (7.5/1 +17%) Rumble B		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(8) Rumble B 7.5/1, Remains a maiden after 27 starts, although he did largely perform with credit in staying handicap hurdles last season. Likely to be competitive if ready to roll after 5 months off. Consistent and has run well after a break but career record is 0-28.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 -79%) Hannah's Walk		25 25/1(-79%)																															(10) Hannah's Walk 25/1, First form when sixth of 9 on 19.5f Bangor handicap debut 16 days ago. Steps up in trip. Needs improvement to get heavily involved but her unexposed profile provides hope. First signs of ability when beaten around 7l on handicap debut; could well improve.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/1 -83%) Battle Of Benburb		11 11/1(-83%)																															(2) Battle Of Benburb 11/1, Has largely struggled lately but had a good spell at a similar time last year and John McConnell does well with his runners here. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue strap. One to keep a close eye on in the betting. Unplaced last ten starts and needs cheekpieces to give him a boost.
1	1 |PU| (1) (16/1 +20%) Balkalin		16 16/1(+20%)																															(1) Balkalin 16/1, Veteran who doubled his tally in 21f Kelso handicap in May but down the field in his 3 runs since. Bounce back needed. Unplaced in three starts since a May win; down in class; stamina not guaranteed.
6	6 |PU| (6) (18/1 -80%) Out On A Jink		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Out On A Jink 18/1, Well held completed start in points and hasn't achieved in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 19.5f. Longer trip should suit now handicapping but her opening mark demands improvement. Handicap debut and markedly up in trip; plenty to prove but worth market check.
3	3 |PU| (3) (28/1 -180%) For Jim		28 28/1(-180%)																															(3) For Jim 28/1, Uttoxeter winner from 10 lb higher last summer but mostly below par since, pulling up at Perth last time. Ran well two starts ago but pulled up either side of that; risky but not discounted.
11	11 |PU| (11) (125/1 -89%) Wedding Stress		125 125/1(-89%)																															(11) Wedding Stress 125/1, Poor form and well held in 2 handicaps around 20.5f this summer. Tailed off in handicaps and 13lb out of the weights.

LTO Selection:

17:14 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

MY GIFT TO YOU justified favouritism on his first two starts after joining the James Owen stable and then lost little in defeat when second, again as the market leader, at Cartmel. The five-year-old seemed to see out the 2m6f trip well enough and he is likely to be bang there once again off the same rating. Dakota Beat ran out a determined winner at Bangor and will need considering off 3lb higher, while Haveyougotmymoney could improve in first-time cheekpieces and for a wind operation.

MY GIFT TO YOU hasn't looked back since joining James Owen and can make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts. John McConnell has a very healthy 10-20 Hexham record so his Battle of Benburb, who sports first-time cheekpieces, could bounce back to form and pose a threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Haveyougotmymoney should also have a stay if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip.

Although beaten at Cartmel last week, MY GIFT TO YOU still appeals as the likely winner.

1	3 1st (3) (40/1 -43%) Dallas Des Pictons		40 40/1(-43%)																															(3) Dallas Des Pictons 40/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best but appears to be on the decline judged on what he's shown since returning from a break/wind op in March. Has proved disappointing in this yard; pulled up over hurdles latest.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +33%) Fenna's Loss		6 6/1(+33%)																															(8) Fenna's Loss 6/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in workmanlike fashion when fending off Cousu Main over C&D in June. Disappointing at Market Rasen since but too soon to completely write off. Beat Cousu Main over C&D two starts ago; not as good latest but tongue-strap now back on.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +25%) City Derby		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) City Derby 6/1, Making his fourth start for his current yard, returned to form when landing handicap at Wetherby (21.2f) in April. Has continued in good heart since, stretched by the trip when fourth at Cartmel last time. Should be on the premises back at a suitable distance. Solid efforts since a Wetherby win in April; might be high enough in the weights now.
4	11 4th (11) (7/1 +0%) Malangen		7 7/1(+0%)																															(11) Malangen 7/1, Latest win in hurdle at Perth in July. 13/2, good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good) 18 days ago. Might get his own way in front and should be hard to pass. In good form and only just caught at Perth on latest start.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +0%) Onward Route		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Onward Route 12/1, Dual winner last summer and ran best race in handicaps when second in 2m event here in May. Hasn't fired since (broke blood vessel last time) but could bounce back returning to this track. Well beaten latest but second and fourth at this track in preceding two starts.
6th	1 6th (1) (5.5/1 -22%) Punxsutawney Phil		5.5 5.5/1(-22%)																															(1) Punxsutawney Phil 5.5/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner who struck at the third time of asking over fences in 4-runner Stratford handicap over a year ago. Held form subsequently (including over hurdles) and arrives fit from the Flat, so worthy of consideration. Not at his best on the Flat lately; needs a repeat of last November's Cheltenham fourth.
7th	5 7th (5) (5/1 +9%) Copper Beach		5 5/1(+9%)																															(5) Copper Beach 5/1, Much improved as he shed his maiden tag in runaway style upped to 20f at Uttoxeter in June. Has remained in form since and is fully expected to be on the premises again. Progressive and decent claims after a Uttoxeter win and two good placed efforts.
8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 -100%) Calum Gilhooley		100 100/1(-100%)																															(9) Calum Gilhooley 100/1, Bangor winner for Graeme McPherson in 2021. Off 2 years and has failed to beat a rival in 2 outings this term, so plenty to prove. Tailed off in both starts since a long absence.
9th	10 9th (10) (11/1 +8%) Kajaki		11 11/1(+8%)																															(10) Kajaki 11/1, Scored at Perth in April and at least respectable efforts there in two outings since. Likely to strip fitter for latest fourth and can't be ruled out with cheekpieces back on. Two fair efforts since a Perth win in April; first outing at this track.
6	6 |F| (6) (7/1 +13%) Cousu Main		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Cousu Main 7/1, Form tailed off for Neil Mulholland but he's on a fair mark and has made positive steps for this yard, coming from an unpromising position to finish fourth at Market Rasen last time. Not ruled out. Two solid runs since joining this yard, the first of them over C&D; should run well.
10th	2 10th (2) (8/1 -78%) Belvedere Blast		8 8/1(-78%)																															(2) Belvedere Blast 8/1, Clicked in blinkers this summer, winning twice at Market Rasen before completing the hat-trick over C&D. Pulled up at former track since but every chance he can bounce back after a short break. Pulled up in better company latest but could bounce back to form.

17:45 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BELVEDERE BLAST recorded a treble before being pulled up in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen, but this looks like a contest that should be well within his compass so he is fancied to return to winning ways. The main danger might be Copper Beach, who ran well over 2m7f for the first time when third at Market Rasen, although this step back in trip still looks a good move. City Derby put in a bold display for fourth at class 3 level in heavy conditions at Cartmel and he can go well off the same mark.

MALANGEN has been in good form for a while and, if left alone in front, he looks capable of getting back to winning ways at the likely expense of Copper Beach. City Derby is another one to consider.

An open contest could go to BELVEDERE BLAST, who had excuses when pulled up last time.

1	3 1st (3) (2.25/1 +40%) Allbetsoff		2.25 2.25/1(+40%)																															(3) Allbetsoff 2.25/1, Responded well when opening account at Southwell in June. Hit the frame all 3 starts since, though ridden with more restraint and looked fairly hard work at Bangor. Consistent but just 1-19 as a hurdler; should run well but vulnerable for win purposes.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Horn Cape		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(1) Horn Cape 3.33/1, French bumper winner who got back on track for his new yard when winning handicaps at Sedgefield and this venue in March. Came up short in hat-trick bid at Ffos Las and he failed badly to meet market expectations at Cartmel in July. This represents a drop in class. May leave behind modest Cartmel display but all his wins have come on soft/heavy.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -75%) Just Hannah		28 28/1(-75%)																															(6) Just Hannah 28/1, Point winner who showed modest form in Ireland for Donal Commins and then Charles Byrnes. Little to get excited about for Alastair Ralph and she's moved yards again. Usual tongue tie off. Check the betting. Has proved disappointing; debut for another trainer.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 +18%) Pateen		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(7) Pateen 4.5/1, Resumed winning ways over C&D in May and has remained in good order since, losing second close home on soft ground at Cartmel 11 days ago. Likely to give it another good go. C&D winner in May and has run satisfactorily since; second in this last year.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -150%) Frightened Rabbit		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Frightened Rabbit 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in re-fitted cheekpieces over C&D in May 2022, but well beaten on all 3 subsequent outings last year. All 11 months off, lost his action when pulled up on stable debut in August and he has a lot to prove. C&D winner in May 2022 but little since, including on return from a year off.
6th	2 6th (2) (1.88/1 +32%) Minella Plus		1.88 1.88/1(+32%)																															(2) Minella Plus 1.88/1, Scored over fences here and at Ludlow (both at around 2m) last autumn. Lower in the weights over hurdles and shaped as though back in form when third at Bangor 16 days ago, conceding first run. Now looks of major interest. Best effort for some time when third at Bangor and remains on a tempting mark.

18:18 Hexham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HORN CAPE failed to fire when sent off favourite at Cartmel, but the Ben Haslam-trained six-year-old had been progressive prior to that defeat and could bounce back now eased in grade. Minella Plus made the frame at Bangor on his latest appearance and is likely to be in the mix once again off a 2lb lower mark, while Allbetsoff and Pateen are the pick of the remainder.

MINELLA PLUS has a lowly hurdles mark to exploit and given the promise of his latest effort at Bangor, he looks ready to cash in. This represents a drop in grade for Horn Cape and he's a massive threat, with the veteran Pateen likely to give it another good shot.

Having hinted at a return to form on his latest start, MINELLA PLUS can take advantage of his tempting mark.

1	3 1st (3) (8/1 -7%) Finalshot		8 8/1(-7%)																															(3) Finalshot 8/1, Returned from 5 months off to finish a good ¾-length second at Market Rasen (19f) in June. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth back there next time but disappointed at Newton Abbot since. Back down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Pulled up latest but threat to all if a tongue-strap brings him back to previous form.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Heros De Moutiers		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(1) Heros De Moutiers 3.5/1, Winning pointer who bettered modest hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen on return. Not in same form at Worcester since but worth another chance. Good second on chasing debut; not so good next time but wind surgery since.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +27%) Magic Mike		8 8/1(+27%)																															(7) Magic Mike 8/1, Showed improved form in the spring, getting off the mark at Perth in April before following up at Newcastle the following month. Disappointed next 2 starts, however, and offered little on chase bow back in February. Two hurdle wins this year but not at best latest two starts; tailed off only chase.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +0%) Check My Pulse		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Check My Pulse 4/1, Got off the mark over fences at Carlisle (2m) off 3 lb higher in October and at least respectable efforts in defeat since. Could be the answer off an easing mark. Consistent over fences this summer but more needed; good effort on the Flat last week.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +25%) Ingleby Mackenzie		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Ingleby Mackenzie 12/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but yet to threaten for new yard. Has lots to prove. Placed once in ten starts for this yard and appears firmly on the downgrade.
5	5 |F| (5) (8/1 -23%) Sea Prince		8 8/1(-23%)																															(5) Sea Prince 8/1, Maiden whose best effort came when second in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good) in June. Failed to take to chasing last time. Maiden; held when unseating on chasing debut last month.
6	6 |PU| (6) (4/1 -14%) Prospect House		4 4/1(-14%)																															(6) Prospect House 4/1, Mixed record over hurdles but latest second at Market Rasen was a good effort. Makes chase debut (little form in 2 Irish points). Twice second over hurdles this season; hopes if able to transfer form on chasing debut.
9	9 |PU| (9) (11/1 +21%) Confelicity		11 11/1(+21%)																															(9) Confelicity 11/1, Unplaced all 3 starts in Irish points and poor form over hurdles. Hard to fancy on chase debut. Maiden; has some ability and switch to chasing and drop in trip could help.
2	2 |PU| (2) (22/1 -175%) Three Platoon		22 22/1(-175%)																															(2) Three Platoon 22/1, Showed ability over hurdles last year but finished well held in a couple of outings on the level this summer and not an obvious chasing type. Not in great form on the Flat this summer; chasing debut and bit to prove.

18:48 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

PROSPECT HOUSE arguably put in a career best when second over hurdles at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old could be hard to stop if transferring that form to the larger obstacles here. Finalshot is a player based on the pick of his form and may benefit from the first-time application of a tongue-tie. Others to note are Heros De Moutiers and Sea Prince.

CHECK MY PULSE is becoming well treated (now 3 lb below his last winning mark) so could be the answer. Heros de Moutiers and Finalshot are potential threats if bouncing back.

With the benefit of wind surgery, HEROS DE MOUTIERS can gain a first success under rules.

1	7 1st (7) (1.75/1 +36%) Hapy La Vie		1.75 1.75/1(+36%)																															(7) Hapy La Vie 1.75/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points and has left his hurdling form behind in this sphere, scoring at second time of asking in C&D handicap (good) in June by 4 lengths from So Be It. Raised 6 lb but it's likely he has more to offer yet. Made all to beat So Be It over C&D in June; up 6lb; leading contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +29%) Ahead Of The Field		5 5/1(+29%)																															(3) Ahead Of The Field 5/1, Temperamental sort who scored once for Emma Lavelle (back in 2021) and has to be treated with caution after effectively refusing to race on debut for new yard at Cartmel recently. Good enough to figure but misbehaved in a big way on recent stable debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 -67%) Cash Again		10 10/1(-67%)																															(5) Cash Again 10/1, Course winner who only narrowly failed to get back on the scoreboard when second of 9 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 68 days ago. Remains fairly treated and looks a likely player on debut for new yard. Just beaten in June; changed stables since; all best form at under 3m.
4	6 4th (6) (6.5/1 +7%) Humps And Bumps		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(6) Humps And Bumps 6.5/1, On a lengthy losing run but has found some consistency since her wind operation this summer, latest when creditable third of 12 in handicap chase at Stratford (27.5f, good) 13 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Has performed better in latest starts but has only won once in the last four years.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -33%) Top Decision		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Top Decision 16/1, Sole success over fences came over 3 years ago and has only raced 5 times since, posting respectable fourth of 7 at Doncaster (24f, good) when last seen in February. Others more appealing. Has run well fresh so absence since February no concern; stamina a possible worry.
8	8 |PU| (8) (7/1 -17%) West Lawn		7 7/1(-17%)																															(8) West Lawn 7/1, Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles (both at 23.3f) here last year. Stayed on late when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at this course (20.1f) in May and return to this longer trip is very much in her favour. Yet to shine over fences but both hurdle wins here and on a dangerous mark now.
1	1 |PU| (1) (9/1 -13%) So Be It		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) So Be It 9/1, Acquitted himself well over fences this summer, latest when fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Likely to make presence felt. Second three times this season, including to Hapy La Vie over C&D; on the premises again.
9	9 |PU| (9) (18/1 +45%) Elusive Red		18 18/1(+45%)																															(9) Elusive Red 18/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs and finished well held over hurdles here in June. Likely best watched on chase debut from 3 lb out of the handicap. Chasing debut; has run well over hurdles here but 0-20 in career.
10	10 |PU| (10) (25/1 +24%) Old Page		25 25/1(+24%)																															(10) Old Page 25/1, Successful in Irish points but remains with little form under Rules and no signs of improvement on yard debut (albeit a long way out of the weights) at Cartmel recently. 10 lb out of the handicap. Has generally struggled in Britain and 10lb out of the handicap.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 -371%) Mance Rayder		33 33/1(-371%)																															(2) Mance Rayder 33/1, Not scored since 2021 but posted good third in handicap chase at Doncaster (24f) when last seen in March and has assistance of Brian Hughes. Ran well when last seen in March but hasn't won for well over two years.

19:18 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to oppose HAPY LA VIE, who had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D on his most recent outing in June. James Ewart's gelding has been raised 6lb for that effort but that may vastly underestimate his ability. Cash Again has made the frame on his last couple of starts and is likely to do so once again on his debut for Simon West, while So Be It and Humps And Bumps complete the shortlist.

HAPY LA VIE has few miles on the clock and was well supported when opening his account over C&D in June. He is fancied to follow up. West Lawn and Cash Again head the list of dangers in what looks a competitive finale.

After his C&D win in June, progressive 6yo HAPY LA VIE (nap) appeals most.

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.
