UK Horse Racing Tips: Hexham

RED CADILLAC built on his third-placed handicap bow at Ayr when second at Uttoxeter. A 1lb nudge up the ratings looks fair for Nicky Richards' inmate and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from course winner Les's Legacy, who should appreciate reapplied cheekpieces and wasn't disgraced when fourth at Catterick. Noble Affair is also noted reverting to the scene of her sole career triumph.
Prediction : 1st Red Cadillac 2nd Less Legacy 3rd Noble Affair

The combination of a two-month break and step up in distance worked the oracle for surprise Catterick winner Bollin Neil and he warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, he hasn't proved the most consistent in the past and preference is for IT'S DAN. The seven-year-old displayed the benefit of a wind procedure when second over an inadequate 2m at Ayr and a return to this distance could prove fruitful. Coral Blue is worth a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Its Dan 2nd Bollin Neil 3rd Coral Blue

Having finished third in a 20-runner maiden hurdle at Naas, Irish raider ROAD TO HOME should prove tough to beat. The six-year-old is sure to prove popular as Willie Mullins' first runner at this venue and he can repel He's Bresilian, who has reached the frame on both timber outings to date and another good account is forecast. The experienced Kingston Rock may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Road To Home 2nd Hes Bresilian 3rd Kingston Rock

COOLMOYNE's sole career victory came over C&D and he showed a lot more when taking the silver medal home at Doncaster last month. The nine-year-old goes off an unchanged rating and could prove tough to beat. Halfway House Lad struck at Newcastle and is expected to mount another serious challenge off just 4lb higher. Of the remainder, Lewa House makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Coolmoyne 2nd Halfway House Lad 3rd Lewa House

That One just prevailed by a neck in a class 5 at Newcastle last month and makes only his second handicap start, but he might come out second best to REWIRED. Tristan Davidson's seven-year-old went in by over three lengths, also at Newcastle, earlier in the month and a 4lb rise could prove to be on the lenient side. He can complete a double, while Lawrenny is another to consider on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Rewired 2nd That One 3rd Lawrenny

GRAND VOYAGE benefited from a faller to land the spoils at Ayr, but he was in the process of running a creditable race nonetheless and a 2lb rise might underestimate him. Halpha Soleil was defeated by Divas Doyen over C&D, but is much better off at the weights so it would come as no surprise were he to reverse that form. Hello Judge had Yealand back in third when victorious at Carlisle on Sunday and both must enter the equation if turned out again quickly.
Prediction : 1st Grand Voyage 2nd Halpha Soleil 3rd Divas Doyen

Peter Atkinson might only have a small string, but he has done well in bumpers when running in his own colours over the last five seasons and TEA BOY could enhance that record. The Diamond Boy gelding is related to a trio of useful types, most notably Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On, so it would come as no surprise were he to be good enough. Imperfectlyperfect shaped with promise on his stable/Rules debut at Kelso and ought to go well, while Nseventeen is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Tea Boy 2nd Imperfectlyperfect 3rd Nseventeen
