1. Leading Force (IRE) – This Irish point winner has consistently performed well, finishing as a runner-up in 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles. His latest performance at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last month indicates that he’s in good form and is a strong contender in this race.
2. Hot As Pepper (IRE) – She has shown promise as a bumper winner (20f) and performed well in her recent novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 36 days ago. The return to a longer trip should suit her, and with a tongue strap back on, she’s a strong candidate to consider.
3. Fetch It Yourself – Though not highly threatening in her initial bumpers, she showed potential when finishing third of 13 in a novice at this course (16.2f, heavy) on her hurdles debut 14 days ago. If she can build upon that performance over this longer trip, she has a solid chance to be in the top 3.

Dark horse pick: Torosay (IRE) – She has shown ability in a couple of hurdling starts and has potential to perform better in more testing conditions. While not a top 3 pick, she may have place possibilities and shouldn’t be ruled out entirely.

1. Ashjan: Despite not being at his best this season, he still managed a decent performance in his last outing on heavy ground. With the yard doing well lately and a drop in trip, he’s worth taking a chance on.
2. Hell On Earth: Although he hasn’t won in 22 starts in Ireland, he’s joining a new stable and is on a competitive mark for this weak race. He’s worth considering, especially if there’s any market support.
3. Moonacura: While still a maiden, he showed some promise in his Ayr hurdles run in January. With first-time blinkers applied today, he could potentially improve and put up a competitive effort.

1. Miss Lamb: She has shown potential by winning a C&D (heavy) race two weeks ago and has useful bumper form. With this being her handicap debut, she could be in for a strong performance, making her a top contender.
2. Horn Cape: With a recent win at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) and a French bumper victory, Horn Cape has strong claims if he can replicate his latest form. Despite carrying a 7lb penalty, he should still be a significant contender in this race.
3. Deluxe Range: Although his best form has come over longer distances, his surplus stamina could be beneficial in these conditions. With wind surgery since his last race and a respectable fifth-place finish at Kelso (2m6f, heavy), he could run well and should not be discounted.

1. Twoshotsoftequila – With a recent win at Doncaster and a possible lenient 7lb rise, this horse has shown promise on soft ground and could perform well in this race.
2. Taste The Fear – A consistent performer who has won on soft/heavy earlier in his career and has shown good form recently, especially with a fair third at Doncaster since his win there in January. If the conditions suit, he should be a strong contender.
3. Houston Texas – A solid performer who won at Carlisle and has held his form well since. He didn’t stay in the Eider at Newcastle last time, but back down in trip and grade, he could be in contention.

15:55 Hexham Thu 30 Mar 2m7f Hcap Hrd

1. Lissen To The Lady (IRE): She has shown consistent form this season and is coming off a recent win over the same course and distance on similar ground. With just a 4 lb increase in weight, she should be able to put up another strong performance.
2. Blazing Port (IRE): While he hasn’t won since his bumper debut, he has shown some respectable efforts in his recent runs. His form this season has been reasonably good, and he has been performing better than most of the other contenders in this field.
3. Atomic Angel: Despite her recent below-par performance over the same course and distance, she has shown winning form at Catterick earlier this year. If she can bounce back from her last run, she could be a contender in this race.

16:30 Hexham Thu 30 Mar 2m4f Hcap Chs

1. Pileup (IRE) – Made an encouraging start in this sphere despite early mistakes, and with first-time cheekpieces on, he could improve further. He’s a strong contender after his solid second at Market Rasen.
2. Trevelyn’s Corn (IRE) – Returned to form with a second-place finish to Ex S’Elance over C&D on heavy ground, despite some jumping issues. The first-time cheekpieces could help him find greater fluency, making him a solid choice in this race.
3. Broomfields Kan (IRE) – Although he remains a maiden after 17 runs, his fading third in a 3m handicap at Hexham suggests that the shorter distance in this race could suit him better. With the tongue strap back on, he’s worth considering as a potential contender.

17:05 Hexham Thu 30 Mar 2m NHF

1. Chance The Robin (IRE) – Has strong form coming into this race, with the winner of his last race having success again. This gelding holds major claims for today’s race.
2. Knacker Trapper (IRE) – Showed significant improvement in his last race at Newcastle and could be a contender if he continues to progress.
3. Queen Of Hindsight (IRE) – Represents a top northern yard, and though making a debut, the pedigree suggests potential. The betting market could be informative, and the yard has a solid strike rate in bumpers.
