UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

VICTORIAS PEAK has changed stables again after finishing second on her hurdling debut at Newbury in January for Milton Harris. That form is by far the strongest on offer here and it would be disappointing were she not able to go one better. Mactavish (second) was ahead of Longstone Cowboy (third) at Sedgefield recently and the pair could chase home the selection in the same order.
Prediction : 1st Victorias Peak 2nd Mactavish 3rd Longstone Cowboy

YOU NAME HIM has enjoyed a fine spell of late, landing a hat-trick of victories before finishing second at Uttoxeter last time, and Rebecca Menzies' gelding is expected to get his head back in front. Bird On The Wire enters calculations having finished second on his last couple of starts at Worcester and Bangor, while a first-time visor might see Balkotic return to form.
Prediction : 1st You Name Him 2nd Bird On The Wire 3rd Balkotic

NIBRAS GOLD has taken well to hurdling, having won on his second attempt in this sphere at Worcester, and further improvement is likely now entering handicap company. Well Educated is capable of being in the mix as he drops back in trip following his third at Cartmel in July. Battle Angel, last seen over hurdles in the Wensleydale at Wetherby, and Hats Off To Larry complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Nibras Gold 2nd Well Educated 3rd Battle Angel

A step back up in trip seemed to work wonders for BON RETOUR on her most recent run at Cartmel, given that she bolted up in emphatic style over 2m6f. A 9lb rise will make her life tougher today but she should not be underestimated. The Micky Hammond-trained Shaws Bridge should be feared following his encouraging effort last time, while Cash Again completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bon Retour 2nd Shaws Bridge 3rd Cash Again

In an open event a chance can be taken with FIRST REVOLUTION, who just got up to win over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month. A 1lb rise for that success seems about right, but Onward Route makes his chasing debut following a comfortable win over hurdles in July. Lord Torranaga edges out Saint Arvans to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st First Revolution 2nd Onward Route 3rd Lord Torranaga

It is difficult to look past LARRY LOOBY, who has won four times this summer and the return to this C&D should not inconvenience, having begun his winning sequence here in June. Not beaten far by a progressive individual at Uttoxeter last time out, Storm Lorenzo remains open to improvement on just his fourth chase outing, while Kauto D'Amour arrives with a similar profile. The form of Mah Mate Bob's most recent success at Cartmel was well franked by the second and third since, so he must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Larry Looby 2nd Storm Lorenzo 3rd Mah Mate Bob

A winner over C&D in June, GOING MOBILE returned to form with a solid effort at Cartmel and the seven-year-old appeals most in this weak affair. Onenightintown has plenty of ground to find with the selection from that aforementioned contest here, but he has won since and can have a say along with course-specialist Follow Your Fire, who is beginning to look feasibly handicapped again.
Prediction : 1st Going Mobile 2nd Onenightintown 3rd Follow Your Fire
