Hexham Race Analysis (Chronological Order)

1. 11:55 Old Rondo At 80 Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase (3m 41y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Don Brocco (9/4)	104 (Master RP)	Mr C Rabbitt	Gary Rutherford
2	Dr Shirocco (9/2)	108 (Master RP)	Murray Dodd (3)	Miss S E Forster

Recent Form and Comments

• Don Brocco (#3): Recent form is 6P1P3-. He is not wholly consistent. He was 8l too good for Gibberwell at Carlisle in February (3m) and signed off last season with a good third over 4m here (on ground maybe quicker than ideal). He previously defied hurdling marks in the 90s during his 2021-22 pomp, but he has been absent for 239 days, and it has been just as long since he last went close when fresh.
• Dr Shirocco (#4): Recent form is 6-U335. He is 0-22 over hurdles but his Kelso fifth in that discipline last month should mean he is fit for this. He is a twice chase winner here (one C&D) off 2lb higher than his current mark. He is regarded as easier to warm to than many in this field.

Spotlight Verdict
Plenty of the usual known quantities for a low-grade staying chase in this neck of the woods are present, all of whom are taken on with WHISPERING DANCER, in the hope that the abrupt switch to fences lights the touchpaper under Susan Corbett’s half-brother to the high-class Different Gravey. The benefit of a recent run makes Dr Shirocco more appealing than either Don Brocco or Gibberwell as the next best.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-P-R): 4yo 0-0-1, 5yo 1-0-2, 6yo 1-2-11, 7yo 0-4-18, 8yo 4-4-19, 9yo 1-2-9, 10yo 0-0-7, 11yo 1-2-5, 12yo 0-1-2.
• Fate of Favourites: 4120UU22.
• Trainer Records (W-P-R): Micky Hammond 2-2-6, Jake Thomas Coulson 0-2-2, Jane Walton 0-1-2.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Don Brocco:
  • Strengths: Proven ability at or above this level (hurdling marks in 90s). Showed ability to beat a key rival (Gibberwell) earlier this year.
  • Weaknesses: Consistency issues. Returns from a long absence (239 days) and fitness/freshness is a concern.
  • Suitability: Handles the trip well.
• Dr Shirocco:
  • Strengths: Proven track and distance winner. Recently ran over hurdles, suggesting current fitness is good. Running off a manageable mark (2lb lower than previous wins here).
  • Weaknesses: Career record over hurdles is poor (0-22).
  • Suitability: High suitability due to track record and recent run.

2. 12:25 Debra Corner Birthday Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (2m 48y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Belle Le Grand (6/1)	107 (Master RP)	Liam Harrison	Daniel Skelton
2	Ninna Collina (10/1)	99 (Master RP)	Sean Quinlan	Jedd O’Keeffe

Recent Form and Comments

• Belle Le Grand (#1): Recent form is 13-112. She carries a double penalty for short-odds all-the-way maiden/novice hurdle wins at Warwick and Cartmel. She jumped left throughout when beaten late at Newton Abbot (2m1f) in June. Returns from a near five-month break.
• Ninna Collina (#3): Recent form is 3233-1. She made a winning seasonal reappearance at Hereford (2m, mares’ maiden, good; 5-1), jumping well and raising her game. She is respected despite carrying a penalty into this stronger race.

Spotlight Verdict
This lacks a standout. Stamina is the core strength for Uokhun so this 2m trip looks plenty short enough, while Belle Le Grand could prove vulnerable under a big penalty. The Downpatrick scorer CAMLIN PARK is a tentative selection to defy a penalty ahead of Ninna Collina who arrives off the back of a Hereford win. Biglesisback and Gintime aren’t discounted either.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-P-R): 4yo 0-0-10, 5yo 2-7-21, 6yo 2-1-12, 7yo 1-0-2.
• Fate of Favourites: 24113.
• Trainer Records (W-P-R): Dan Skelton 1-0-2, John C McConnell 0-1-1, Stuart Coltherd 0-1-4.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Belle Le Grand:
  • Strengths: Proven winner over hurdles, having secured two wins.
  • Weaknesses: Under pressure due to a double penalty. Jumped poorly (left) on her last outing. Absence of almost five months.
  • Suitability: High class on previous form but the penalties may hinder her chances in this field.
• Ninna Collina:
  • Strengths: Entered in good form following a winning seasonal debut. Jumped well last time out.
  • Weaknesses: Faces a stronger contest here and carries a penalty. Master RP rating (99) is slightly lower than Belle Le Grand (107).
  • Suitability: Seems to handle the conditions and trip well.

3. 1:00 Sidgwick Memorial Handicap Chase (1m 7f 133y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Raffles Wonder (100/30)	111 (Master RP)	Nathan Moscrop	Rebecca Menzies
2	We Got Your Back (11/2)	113 (Master RP)	Brian Hughes	Miss Laura Morgan

Recent Form and Comments

• Raffles Wonder (#2): Recent form is /3411-. He ended last season with two chase wins at Sedgefield and Carlisle (2m) after a second wind operation. He is on a career-high mark now. He shaped well on reappearance last season.
• We Got Your Back (#8): Recent form is -23331. He won his third race over fences by beating O’Faolains Glory by 1.25l over C&D recently (good ground). He is now 3lb higher. He has won on soft ground too and is considered a major contender.

Spotlight Verdict
Laura Morgan’s WE GOT YOUR BACK (nap) is taken to confirm last month’s C&D form with O’Faolain’s Glory. Diamond Mix and Conquer The Breeze are also likely to go well.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records data are not available in the provided sources for this specific race.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Raffles Wonder:
  • Strengths: Strong finish to last season with two wins (one on good ground). Had a second wind operation. Has potential for a good reappearance run based on last season.
  • Weaknesses: On a career-high mark. Coming back from a long break (229 days absence).
  • Suitability: Has C&D/distance winning form.
• We Got Your Back:
  • Strengths: Recent C&D winner (just 27 days ago) and is strongly fancied to repeat that form. Proven on different ground types (good and soft).
  • Weaknesses: Carries a 3lb penalty for his recent win.
  • Suitability: High suitability for conditions and track (C&D winner).

4. 1:35 Unibet Money Back Races Every Day Maiden Hurdle (2m 4f 28y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Kool Raoul (4/1)	109 (Master RP)	Gregor Walkingshaw (10)	Lucinda Russell / M Scudamore
2	Out Of The Woods (9/4)	117 (Master RP)	Derek Fox	Lucinda Russell / M Scudamore

Recent Form and Comments

• Kool Raoul (#5): Recent form is 240-2. He ran well to be second in a 2m novice at Kelso. Connections may favour his stablemate, Out Of The Woods, here.
• Out Of The Woods (#6): Recent form is 16-. He beat a dual subsequent winner in a soft-ground bumper at Ayr. He was outpaced on good to soft at Kelso. This longer trip (2m 4f) should be ideal over hurdles.

Spotlight Verdict
The 5yo OUT OF THE WOODS looked good in winning his first bumper and connections reckon they got the tactics wrong at Kelso. He looks a stayer and goes up in trip for this hurdling debut. Rosie Baloo won her only bumper and is bred to have a future over hurdles. Big Zouk is another interesting contender.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-P-R): 4yo 0-2-7, 5yo 2-3-22, 6yo 3-0-8, 7yo 0-1-3, 8yo 0-1-2.
• Fate of Favourites: 11241.
• Trainer Records (W-P-R): Mark Walford 1-0-4, Tim Easterby 0-1-1.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Kool Raoul:
  • Strengths: Placed recently in a novice.
  • Weaknesses: Form may suggest he is playing second fiddle to his stablemate.
  • Suitability: Needs to prove suitability to this longer trip over hurdles.
• Out Of The Woods:
  • Strengths: Strong bumper form, beating a dual subsequent winner. Bred and expected to relish the step up in trip (2m 4f) over hurdles. Connections believe prior performance issues were tactical.
  • Weaknesses: Hurdling debut.
  • Suitability: Expected to be highly suited by the increase in distance.

5. 2:10 Unibet Offer Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Hurdle (2m 7f 63y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Robert D’Ores (3/1)	99 (Master RP)	Jonathon Bewley	G T Bewley
2	Forest Blaze (6/1)	101 (Master RP)	Jamie Hamilton	Mark Walford

Recent Form and Comments

• Robert D’Ores (#5): Recent form is 5-1421. He gained his third win over C&D a month ago on good to soft ground. He was only raised 4lb and is expected to give his running.
• Forest Blaze (#1): Recent form is 13714-. Both of his wins were here over 2m4f on soft and good to soft ground. He was a beaten favourite off this mark in April and his previous start at 3m was below his best, although he is likely to stay. Has been absent for 207 days.

Spotlight Verdict
He’s no good thing to confirm recent course placings with Zwicky but ROBERT D’ORES is always a solid option around here. Forest Blaze, Wee Alki and Ballin Bay can all run well.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-P-R): 4yo 0-1-3, 5yo 2-4-23, 6yo 3-3-17, 7yo 2-7-21, 8yo 0-2-16, 9yo 1-0-12, 10yo 1-1-8, 11yo 1-1-5, 13yo 0-1-1, 15yo 0-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 2110111133.
• Trainer Records (W-P-R): George Bewley 1-2-3, Philip Kirby 1-2-4, Rebecca Menzies 1-0-1, Donald Whillans 0-1-1, Mark Walford 0-1-2.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Robert D’Ores:
  • Strengths: Excellent C&D record (three wins). Only a modest 4lb rise after his last win. Considered a reliable option at this track.
  • Weaknesses: Did not win easily last time.
  • Suitability: High suitability due to C&D success.
• Forest Blaze:
  • Strengths: Proven Hexham winner on suitable ground. Likely to stay the trip. Master RP rating is slightly higher than Robert D’Ores.
  • Weaknesses: Needs to return to best form as he was a beaten favourite last time off this mark. Long absence (207 days).
  • Suitability: Good track record at 2m4f suggests potential at 2m7f.

6. 2:45 Unibet More Extra Places Handicap Hurdle (2m 4f 28y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Rioja Alta (7/2)	111 (Master RP)	Brian Hughes	Micky Hammond
2	Piaff Bubbles (10/1)	112 (Master RP)	Mr Charlie Maggs (5)	Rebecca Menzies

Recent Form and Comments

• Rioja Alta (#7): Recent form is 912-31. Showed progress in blinkers this year, winning at Sedgefield (2m4f) and Cartmel (2m6f, soft). Ran a game race when winning at Cartmel from 5lb lower. Has been given a break since July. Represents a step back up in grade.
• Piaff Bubbles (#6): Recent form is /5344-. Her sole win was at Wetherby (3m, soft) from a 6lb lower mark in January 2023. Consistent last season, with her best effort being a third at Ayr. Retains a tongue-tie and has undergone wind surgery. Returns from a 269-day absence.

Spotlight Verdict
Rebecca Menzies is double-handed, with the pick of her pair seemingly being the Ayr scorer MONSIEUR LE FUZZ, who could have more to offer even allowing for an absence of cheekpieces. Others with similar unexposed profiles include Tineggiori (second choice) and Mornington Beach. Hay Meadow could strip fitter after her Perth run, Les’s Legacy merits a mention and the last-time winner Rioja Alta moves back up in grade.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records data are not available in the provided sources for this specific race.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Rioja Alta:
  • Strengths: Highly progressive this year with two recent wins over staying distances. Trainer is in reasonable form.
  • Weaknesses: Moves back up in grade. Higher mark than her last win.
  • Suitability: Progressive profile suggests she may handle the step up in class.
• Piaff Bubbles:
  • Strengths: Consistent performance profile. Wind surgery could facilitate improvement on return. Benefits from a useful claimer.
  • Weaknesses: Long absence (269 days). Running off a higher mark than her single win.
  • Suitability: Ground is suitable (soft) for her best win.

7. 3:20 Unibet Bet £20 Get £20 In Free Bets Handicap Chase (2m 4f 15y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Hello Judge (11/4)	137 (Master RP)	Danny McMenamin	Mrs A Hamilton
2	Lounge Lizard (9/2)	138 (Master RP)	David Bass	H D Daly

Recent Form and Comments

• Hello Judge (#6): Recent form is 1P12-1. He has won five of his six chase wins at Carlisle. His latest win was off 4lb lower in October (2m4f, good). He has achieved creditable runs in both starts here. He is considered a player.
• Lounge Lizard (#1): Recent form is 34P10-. He has four wins over fences, three of which were on right-handed tracks. His latest win was at Huntingdon in March (2m4f, good to soft). He runs creditably after a break and holds an each-way chance on his seasonal debut (217 days absence).

Spotlight Verdict
Although Rattling Road is the sort who should do well this season, he looks a bit high in the handicap and preference is for the more exposed MALAITA, who shaped well last time, with Hello Judge another to consider.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records data are not available in the provided sources for this specific race.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Hello Judge:
  • Strengths: Recent winning form (October). Good track record at Hexham. Highly regarded as a player.
  • Weaknesses: None specified, though the Spotlight preferred Malaita.
  • Suitability: High suitability given his winning distance and good form here.
• Lounge Lizard:
  • Strengths: Proven winner over fences, often on right-handed tracks. Performs well when fresh. Has a high Master RP rating.
  • Weaknesses: Seasonal debut after a long absence (217 days).
  • Suitability: His winning course type (right-handed) and distance match this assignment.

8. 3:53 Unibet Open National Hunt Flat Race (2m 48y)

Rank	Horse (Odds)	TimeWise Master Rated	Jockeys	Trainers
1	Forthfactor (15/8)	92 (Master RP)	Miss Heidi Palin (7)	Daniel Skelton
2	Perfectot (6/1)	95 (Master RP)	Nathan Moscrop	Rebecca Menzies

Recent Form and Comments

• Forthfactor (#1): Recent form is 1-. He made a winning debut for Tom Weston at Hereford in February (2m, soft). The winning form was “nothing special”. Now makes his debut for Dan Skelton.
• Perfectot (#12): Recent form is 33-. She showed promise when achieving two third-place finishes in mares’ bumpers at Sedgefield and Musselburgh in March. This contest looks stronger, but she is capable of running well.

Spotlight Verdict
Although Hereford winner Forthfactor is an obvious contender on his debut for Dan Skelton, he has a stiffer task with a penalty. A chance is taken with the well-bred Passing Glance newcomer RONNIE RUSSET with fellow newcomer Titanium Ring another who could go well.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records data are not available in the provided sources for this specific race.

Assessment of the Top Two

• Forthfactor:
  • Strengths: Already a bumper winner. Now with a respected trainer (D Skelton).
  • Weaknesses: Carries a 7lb penalty. Previous winning form was mediocre.
  • Suitability: Must overcome the penalty against potentially higher-class debutants.
• Perfectot:
  • Strengths: Showed consistency and promise by placing in mares’ bumpers. Has a higher Master RP rating than Forthfactor.
  • Weaknesses: Facing a stronger field here.
  • Suitability: Could perform well if delivering on previous promise.
