UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

In a contest lacking depth, preference is for the class-dropping LEADING FORCE, who could record his best run over hurdles to date in this contest. Runner-up on his last three starts, including over a similar trip at Newcastle last month, he should not be taken lightly and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. Torosay and Hot As Pepper are the main dangers.
Prediction : 1st Leading Force 2nd Torosay 3rd Hot As Pepper

A drop in trip can see Court Justice improve on a disappointing run over 3m at Ayr earlier this month, but it could be worth taking a chance on MOONACURA. Stuart Coltherd's charge was a well-beaten joint-favourite on his chasing bow at this track last time out and first-time blinkers could spark some improvement into the gelded son of Fame And Glory. Hell On Earth returns from a 628-day break and also warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Moonacura 2nd Court Justice 3rd Hell On Earth

A 7lb penalty looks unlikely to stop HORN CAPE securing a double here, especially given he kept on well to score by nine lengths over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time. Although this is a tougher contest, he showed enough at the Durham venue to suggest there would be more in the locker and he is narrowly preferred to Miss Lamb, who shed her maiden tag over C&D on her latest outing. Deluxe Range completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Horn Cape 2nd Miss Lamb 3rd Deluxe Range

Now that the penny has dropped for TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA over fences, there should be plenty more to come from the son of Snow Sky as he looks to overcome a 7lb rise for a comfortable success at Doncaster. The heavy ground may not be ideal but he is still taken to uphold form with Taste The Fear (third) and account for the likes of Donna's Delight and Nick Lost.
Prediction : 1st Twoshotsoftequila 2nd Taste The Fear 3rd Nick Lost

LISSEN TO THE LADY displayed a very willing attitude to get her head in front over C&D last time out and that looks like the best recent form on offer. She can follow up at the main expense of Blazing Port, who has been shaping as though he could be well suited by going up in trip. One Fer Mamma is another capable gelding on his day.
Prediction : 1st Lissen To The Lady 2nd Blazing Port 3rd One Fer Mamma

Ex S'elance (winner) and Trevelyn's Corn (second) fought out a good finish over C&D a fortnight ago and are respected. The revised terms give the latter an edge on this occasion. Nevertheless, EN MEME TEMPS is well handicapped in comparison to his hurdles rating and edges preference over a trip that should ideally suit. Pileup has scope to improve over fences and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st En Meme Temps 2nd Trevelyns Corn 3rd Ex Selance

Donald McCain has a good record in bumpers lately and his Queen Of Hindsight is respected on her racecourse bow, while Knacker Trapper and Cave Hill are entitled to improve on what they've shown so far and warrant a betting check at least. However, preference is for point-to-point runner-up CHANCE THE ROBIN, whose Rules debut second at Ayr was franked by the winner going in again.
Prediction : 1st Chance The Robin 2nd Queen Of Hindsight 3rd Knacker Trapper
