UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

BELLE OF ANNANDALE was victorious by just over a length at Perth when making her first appearance over hurdles and that form is working out well, with the third going in subsequently. The daughter of Australia might improve further for the step up in distance and she looks the one to be with. Rory's Story wasn't disgraced in third in a Market Rasen bumper and could land a blow, while Lisnamult Lad looks the clear pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Belle Of Annandale 2nd Rorys Story 3rd Lisnamult Lad

MY GIFT TO YOU justified favouritism on his first two starts after joining the James Owen stable and then lost little in defeat when second, again as the market leader, at Cartmel. The five-year-old seemed to see out the 2m6f trip well enough and he is likely to be bang there once again off the same rating. Dakota Beat ran out a determined winner at Bangor and will need considering off 3lb higher, while Haveyougotmymoney could improve in first-time cheekpieces and for a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st My Gift To You 2nd Dakota Beat 3rd Haveyougotmymoney

BELVEDERE BLAST recorded a treble before being pulled up in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen, but this looks like a contest that should be well within his compass so he is fancied to return to winning ways. The main danger might be Copper Beach, who ran well over 2m7f for the first time when third at Market Rasen, although this step back in trip still looks a good move. City Derby put in a bold display for fourth at class 3 level in heavy conditions at Cartmel and he can go well off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Belvedere Blast 2nd Copper Beach 3rd City Derby

HORN CAPE failed to fire when sent off favourite at Cartmel, but the Ben Haslam-trained six-year-old had been progressive prior to that defeat and could bounce back now eased in grade. Minella Plus made the frame at Bangor on his latest appearance and is likely to be in the mix once again off a 2lb lower mark, while Allbetsoff and Pateen are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Horn Cape 2nd Minella Plus 3rd Allbetsoff

PROSPECT HOUSE arguably put in a career best when second over hurdles at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old could be hard to stop if transferring that form to the larger obstacles here. Finalshot is a player based on the pick of his form and may benefit from the first-time application of a tongue-tie. Others to note are Heros De Moutiers and Sea Prince.
Prediction : 1st Prospect House 2nd Finalshot 3rd Heros De Moutiers

It is hard to oppose HAPY LA VIE, who had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D on his most recent outing in June. James Ewart's gelding has been raised 6lb for that effort but that may vastly underestimate his ability. Cash Again has made the frame on his last couple of starts and is likely to do so once again on his debut for Simon West, while So Be It and Humps And Bumps complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hapy La Vie 2nd Cash Again 3rd So Be It
