Hexham 14:00 Odds Comparison

Fairly useful bumper winner had been highly tried over hurdles before capitalising on a drop in grade at Huntingdon last time, and with further improvement likely, he has strong claims to follow up.

Point/bumper winner made it 2-2 at this track when successful over C&D on hurdles debut, though he needs to bounce back following a break, having disappointed again when well-beaten fourth at Kelso in late-December.

Bred for further but ran to a fair level when winning 11-runner maiden at Fontainebleau (17.6f) on hurdling debut in October. Has since left Mme M. Pineda and is open to improvement on first start for new yard.

Musselburgh maiden winner who chased home a useful type at Catterick in January and matched that form when fourth in a novice handicap at Newbury last time. Makes appeal returning to calmer waters.

Unpromising in Irish points and shaped like one for handicaps second time up over hurdles, finishing (300/1) seventh of 15 at Wetherby.

Point runner-up attracted support but was last of the 6 to complete at this course (2½m) on hurdles bow. Connections will probably have their eye on handicaps, now.

Well held in bumpers and on hurdle debut at Carlisle (125/1) latest.

Fared little better than in bumpers when pulled up on hurdle debut here and a first-time tongue strap is unlikely to make a difference.

Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Arvico Bleu (winner around 2m). Improved again but no match for promising sort when second in Haydock bumper last time and merits respect now sent hurdling.

Inconsistent sort didn't offer much when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Musselburgh in mid-February and hard to be confident returning to hurdles following a further 8 weeks off.

Pulled up on hurdles bow at Wetherby and is likely to need more time/distance.

Hasn't kicked on from a promising bumper debut and Imperfectlyperfect looks the stable's leading hope.
