UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

COQOLINO has yet to win over fences, but he went close to doing so when attempting to make all on the testing ground at Cartmel in August. This sounder surface will suit Ben Haslam's charge and he looks well treated. Monochromix represents last year's winning trainer and has solid claims in first-time cheekpieces after just missing out at Carlisle, while Backbyjet is another worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Coqolino 2nd Monochromix 3rd Backbyjet

She's Notjoeking won over course and distance back in April and there should be more to come from her this season. WISE MOVE finished runner-up here in May on his hurdling debut. He tired badly and fell at the last when upped to 2m6f at Cartmel last time, but the six-year-old gets another chance over this more suitable trip. Battle Born Lad is worthy of a second glance, as is Joecooker.
Prediction : 1st Wise Move 2nd Shes Notjoeking 3rd Battle Born Lad

Brave Jen found only one too good at Plumpton last month, but has had plenty of chances and the less-exposed ROCKOLA VOGUE makes more appeal. The bumper winner finished a promising third at Worcester on her hurdling bow and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form. Sky Luna struggled on heavy ground last time, but is not without a chance back on a sounder surface.
Prediction : 1st Rockola Vogue 2nd Brave Jen 3rd Sky Luna

CANNOCK PARK had a fine novice hurdle campaign last season, twice placed at Graded level, and Paul Robson's gelding is an exciting addition to the chasing ranks. He is fancied to take to this discipline and, having gone well fresh in the past, a bold bid beckons. There are plenty in the way of dangers, however, with Choose A Copper and Bertie's Ballet topping the list. The former won a novice hurdle at this venue on his seasonal debut last year and he is likely to improve for a fence, while Conor O'Farrell's mount also performed to a decent level over the smaller obstacles last term.
Prediction : 1st Cannock Park 2nd Choose A Copper 3rd Berties Ballet

SUPREMELY WEST progressed throughout last season, finishing off with a fine second behind subsequent Grade 3 scorer Gwennie May Boy at Uttoxeter in March, and he looks the one to beat on his return to action. Veteran performer Dinons has won his last couple of hurdle appearances, including a 10-length victory over C&D in June, and he must enter calculations. Handicap debutant Kandor has the advantage of a recent run and could be dangerous.
Prediction : 1st Supremely West 2nd Dinons 3rd Kandor

CALDWELL has enjoyed a consistent spell of form during the summer months and the seven-year-old may have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account over the larger obstacles at the first time of asking. Kicksaftersix is unlikely to be inconvenienced by dropping back to 2m following his second at Cartmel in August. Others to consider include June C&D winner Going Mobile and Kingston Rock.
Prediction : 1st Caldwell 2nd Kicksaftersix 3rd Going Mobile

ADMIRAL STEWART makes plenty of appeal on paper following his purchase for 130,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale in January after winning a point-to-point earlier that month. The five-year-old represents a stable which has continued to build in terms of quality over the past few seasons and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning debut under Rules. Lost Frequencies wasn't disgraced when fourth at Perth in April and a repeat of that gives him a chance, while Farmer Jimmy is capable of stepping forward from his third at Wetherby in March.
Prediction : 1st Admiral Stewart 2nd Lost Frequencies 3rd Farmer Jimmy
