UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

ROBERT D'ORES bounced right back to form when finishing an excellent second over an extended 2m7f on his seasonal reappearance here earlier this month, pulling clear with the winner. Stepping back in trip and upped just 4lb, this may be the day to catch him. One Step Up arrives on the back of a solid placed effort at Ayr and he commands respect off an unchanged mark. Irish raider Technology also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Robert Dores 2nd One Step Up 3rd Technology

NOT SO SOBERS caught the eye when finishing a staying-on fourth in a hot Cheltenham bumper and, with his sights lowered on his debut over timber, he gets the vote to land the spoils. Nellie Bluesky didn't cut much ice in NH Flat races, but she impressed when making a winning hurdles bow over 2m4f at Perth in May and must be of interest on her return to the track. Golden Point is also a noteworthy contender, while Ira Hayes, who is engaged at Carlisle on Tuesday, would hold obvious claims if turned out here.
Prediction : 1st Not So Sobers 2nd Nellie Bluesky 3rd Golden Point

Cadell struck at the second time of asking over fences, making all to beat two rivals at Wetherby, and he must enter calculations, although he may not be able dominate in quite the same way. NO TIME TO WAIT wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in a 2m4f Down Royal beginners chase won by the exciting Firefox and, stepping back up in trip sporting a tongue-tie for the first time, he gets the nod to score for his astute connections. Reverend Hubert is also considered.
Prediction : 1st No Time To Wait 2nd Cadell 3rd Reverend Hubert

DESTINY IS ALL didn't quite see out the trip when fourth in behind Breeze Of Wind (winner) over C&D in March. Lucinda Russell's 10-year-old, successful at Ayr on his comeback last month, only wilted late in the day and with ground conditions set to be nowhere near as testing, he could reverse that form. Dr Shirocco shapes as if he will appreciate this marathon trip and he is worth a second glance, while Camp Belan is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Destiny Is All 2nd Dr Shirocco 3rd Camp Belan

RETURN FIRE was able to exploit his sliding handicap mark when on target over 3m here recently and with a drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience this C&D winner, a 6lb rise might prove lenient. The Paddy Pie bounce backed to form when filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield and is respected from 2lb higher, along with the consistent Kicksaftersix. Flash Du Pistolet didn't fire on his chasing debut having been sent off joint-favourite, but he may step forward now.
Prediction : 1st Return Fire 2nd The Paddy Pie 3rd Flash Du Pistolet

Runner-up to promising types at Perth and Ayr, this looks a good opportunity for the Ewan Whillans-trained BESPOKE TAILOR to get off the mark. Connections would have been pleased with He's Bresilian's bumper debut at Carlisle, though, and he is the main threat. Noble George, a half-brother to two NH Flat winners, is worth a market check ahead of his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Bespoke Tailor 2nd Hes Bresilian 3rd Noble George
