UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

GLINGER FLAME was an easy winner on his handicap debut by 18 lengths here over 2m4f at the end of last month and, on that showing, he could prove difficult to beat despite dropped back in distance. Honourary Gift improved from his hurdling debut at Ayr to win at Sedgefield and warrants respect along with Mr Scrumpy, who looks capable of taking a step forward from a promising effort at Market Rasen.
Prediction : 1st Glinger Flame 2nd Honourary Gift 3rd Mr Scrumpy

RINGARINGAROSIE (second) finished ahead of Miss Amelia (fourth) when the pair met at Sedgefield last month and that form can be upheld despite the latter meeting the selection on 1lb better terms. Casimir Du Clos won the aforementioned contest but subsequently disappointed at the same venue earlier this month, while the drop back in distance could benefit Roxyfet having not appeared to get home here over 2m4f last time.
Prediction : 1st Ringaringarosie 2nd Miss Amelia 3rd Roxyfet

ETAMINE DU COCHET unseated her rider when still in contention at Newbury last time and she can take advantage of much calmer waters on her second outing after wind surgery. Miss Delighted is likely to have no issue dropping in distance having won at Haydock over 2m7f on her latest start, while a set of cheekpieces can see improvement from Sweet Vinetta.
Prediction : 1st Etamine Du Cochet 2nd Miss Delighted 3rd Sweet Vinetta

SOLO SAXOPHONE made a pleasing return to the winner's enclosure at Wetherby last week and looks to make a quick follow up carrying a 7lb penalty for that seven-length victory. Saint Freule is maturing with every outing and steps up in trip following back-to-back course victories over two miles, the latest by a whopping 14 lengths. Becky The Thatcher hasn't won in this sphere since November 2017 but could be capable of filling a place on the podium if at her best.
Prediction : 1st Solo Saxophone 2nd Saint Freule 3rd Becky The Thatcher

PRINCE DUNDEE thrived in a first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination on his return to this trip here last time and having run out a comfortable victor on that occasion, rates as the one to beat here off a 5lb higher mark. Stablemate Exit To Where is interesting on his first chase outing on these shores, while Monsieur Bagot has mixed chasing and hurdling well this season and could build on his recent Musselburgh second. Scorpo was a comfortable 11-length winner at Sedgefield last time and he is another to consider from 6lb higher this time.
Prediction : 1st Prince Dundee 2nd Scorpo 3rd Monsieur Bagot

Ravished was an impressive 11-length winner at Wetherby last time and looks to land a hat-trick now having routed the opposition in a Hutton Rudby point-to-point contest before that. However, preference is for SAUSALITO SUNRISE, who will have appreciated his first outing since 2017 when second to Double Ross at Chepstow last month and could take all the beating here if coming on for that run. C&D winners Cave Hunter and Damiens Dilemma were both successful between the flags last time and are others who could play a part.
Prediction : 1st Sausalito Sunrise 2nd Ravished 3rd Cave Hunter

MIAH GRACE outran her odds when when hitting the frame at Wetherby on debut and Jedd O'Keeffe's filly will be much more on the radar here, while Shanroe found just the market leaders too good when third at Ludlow on his first outing. However, a chance is taken on BLACK EBONY, who performed a lot better than the bare result suggests at Kelso in February to be beaten less than four lengths and could build on that opening outing. Handler Ruth Jefferson has a respectable record in this sphere this season and the gelding comes from a family that includes the stable's Cheltenham Festival winner Attaglance.
Prediction : 1st Black Ebony 2nd Miah Grace 3rd Shanroe
