Hexham 18:47 Odds Comparison

Low-mileage 8-y-o built on previous promise to land a solid handicap at Newcastle last February, and while a further 14-month absence indicates an underlying fragility, he's in very good hands.

Split a pair of next-time-out winners when fourth behind National Question at Carlisle before taking a significant step forward with a decisive success at Perth, and an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow up.

Relatively lightly-raced 6-y-o showed improved form to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces over C&D on her latest start and cannot be ruled out if headgear has the same effect.

Creditable third at Ayr on penultimate start but not in the same form at Carlisle in mid-February. Previous C&D winner isn't discounted dropped in grade, though.

Resumed progress when successful at Carlisle in March, finishing ahead of 4 next-time-out winners. Not in the same form when sixth of 12 last time, though could be worth another chance reunited with good-value claimer.

Runner-up at Uttoxeter in November and shaped as though still in form when falling (likely to have finished a well-beaten third had he completed) at Newcastle in February.

Hasn't won since his sole hurdle success here in 2023 and while he did come in for an inefficient ride at Carlisle last time, it's concerning that he was subsequently found to have bled.

Gave a fairly useful winner a scare in a C&D novice in October and has undergone a breathing operation since folding quickly over 2½m on handicap debut here the following month.

Fair bumper performer showed more than previously in handicaps when fourth behind Snapaudaciaheros over C&D last time, and she may again find the race run to suit.

Pulled up on handicap/stable debut at Catterick (25f) in early-March and remains with no form in this sphere.
