UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

A return to hurdles can do the trick for ECLAIR D'AINAY, having won easily on his most recent start in this sphere at Market Rasen. Conditions look to be in his favour and he can see off the likes of Irish raider Bella Bliss and Rock Hurley, who is bound to improve on his first run for new connections last month. C&D winner Bingoo can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Eclair DAinay 2nd Rock Hurley 3rd Bingoo

A determined winner at Carlisle on his most recent start, GOING MOBILE can follow up off a 3lb higher mark at a track he has an excellent record at. The selection had Ensel Du Perche (second) behind when scoring over C&D last September, so the main dangers this time might be the veteran Cudgel and the unexposed Patagonia, who went close at Wetherby last month.
Prediction : 1st Going Mobile 2nd Patagonia 3rd Cudgel

BOIS GUILLBERT continues to go from strength to strength and even with a 10lb penalty, he may still have enough to land the hat-trick for his in-form connections. Joker Du Chenet was still going well when falling three out at Wetherby on debut, while Tintintin has made a good start to his career in this sphere and could be due a change in luck.
Prediction : 1st Bois Guillbert 2nd Tintintin 3rd Joker Du Chenet

Ex S'elance is likely to be popular after notching a brace of wins since mid-March and can go close if his stamina holds out over this longer trip, while Maid Of Houxty is respected after a game success at Newcastle last month. However, preference is for GIPSY LEE ROSE, who won last year's renewal of this race off a 6lb higher mark and has a live chance of following up on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Gipsy Lee Rose 2nd Ex Selance 3rd Maid Of Houxty

Sue Smith sent out the winner of this race last year and has another fancied contender in the shape of BURROWS HALL, who registered a comfortable success at Carlisle 16 days ago and could be hard to beat despite a 6lb higher mark. The gelding has bags of scope to improve over this trip and could be too progressive for the likes of Moonlight Glory and Halpha Soleil, who are suggested as the pick of the opposition.
Prediction : 1st Burrows Hall 2nd Moonlight Glory 3rd Halpha Soleil

DROP FLIGHT failed to get involved in a much deeper contest at Aintree earlier this month and a considerable drop in class can see him bounce back here. He kept on strongly to secure a good second over an extended 2m7f at Newbury on his penultimate run, but Billy Bronco can give him plenty to think about with his latest success in mind. Firak completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Drop Flight 2nd Billy Bronco 3rd Firak

A case can be made for several of these, but ISMAEL bolted up in a point-to-point in January and commands respect on his Rules debut with that in mind. The booking of Brian Hughes is interesting and the gelded son of Coastal Path should not be taken lightly. Chance The Robin scored over C&D last month and is feared most, while Rob Roy Macgregor is another of interest.
Prediction : 1st Ismael 2nd Chance The Robin 3rd Rob Roy Macgregor
