UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

SENSE OF URGENCY justified market support when running down Frightened Rabbit late on over C&D last month and, despite a 4lb rise in the ratings, she can confirm placings with that rival and follow up. The latter is respected despite being a shade disappointing since, although Hey Bob, who only found one too good in a similar track and trip event 22 days ago, rates the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Sense Of Urgency 2nd Hey Bob 3rd Frightened Rabbit

A trappy little contest in which CAIUS MARCIUS is taken to reverse recent Perth form with Nietzsche. Brian Ellison's charge got the better of the argument two weeks ago, but the former is 6lb better off at these weights and his Hexham record is an impressive one, form figures here reading 122. Carntop will have learnt plenty from his fencing debut at Cartmel, while Innocent Touch also warrants plenty of respect on his first run over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Caius Marcius 2nd Nietzsche 3rd Innocent Touch

MORRAMAN travelled smoothly into the race at Cartmel, only to give way late on to the hardy Becky The Thatcher. Dropping back a couple of furlongs is expected to suit the six-year-old and he can play a leading role under regular rider Abbie McCain. Raising The Bar is a rare Hexham runner for Nicky Henderson (only represented twice here over the last five seasons) and merits consideration on his first start post wind surgery, while last-start winners Lord Wishes and Melody Of Scotland are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Morraman 2nd Raising The Bar 3rd Lord Wishes
