17:50 – Tynedale Agricultural Society Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper staying handicap for the grade rather than a weak opener, with several arriving with something to recommend them and a few lurking on dangerous marks. My Boy Christy is the obvious starting point after finishing second on his return and he has the profile of a 6yo who can still do better over this sort of trip. Watchoutitscookie is another with solid claims now dropped into a race of this nature with a very handy racing weight, while Dillarchie has been thriving and shouldn’t be dismissed for one lesser effort. East Eagle is unexposed as a stayer and Shighness was still in the argument when falling last time. Competitive, but not impossible to solve if you trust the more progressive types.
Top Selections
1. My Boy Christy – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: William Maggs | Trainer: Ewan Whillans | Form: 0572-2 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 98
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of these are exposed. That latest second reads well enough in the context of this contest, especially as it came after a break and suggested he was ready to put a proper sequence together. A mark of 102 looks workable for a 6yo in a Class 5 staying hurdle, and his Topspeed figure of 98 stacks up very nicely against these. William Maggs takes off useful weight and that only strengthens the case. At 5/2 he is no giveaway, but he is the one with the clearest blend of current form, age and upside. Bet: WIN
2. Watchoutitscookie – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Murray Dodd | Trainer: Nigel Hawke | Form: 02373- | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 92
He looks the each-way value because he brings the sort of consistent profile that often gets rewarded in races like this. His finishing positions last season were solid without quite getting the win, but that sequence suggests he is holding his level well and a rating of 103 is hardly beyond him in this company. The big plus is the weight: despite that mark he gets in here on just 146lb, which makes him very interesting over nearly 3m around Hexham. Murray Dodd is capable enough in these conditional events, and 5/1 feels fair for a horse who should be thereabouts if reproducing his recent standard. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
My Boy Christy is the win play because he looks the most likely improver and his recent second gives him the strongest current form. Watchoutitscookie is the sensible each-way punt in a 12-runner race with four places on offer, especially given his low weight and reliable profile. The main dangers are Dillarchie, who had been on a roll before his latest run, and East Eagle, who could still have more to offer at this trip.

18:20 – Port Of Blyth Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 4 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a tight little seven-runner handicap chase rather than a deep one, and the market has latched on to the right horse. Conquer The Breeze arrives on the back of a win and is very obviously the one they all have to beat, especially with just 10st 9lb on his back despite sharing top rating. The question is whether he’s worth taking at cramped odds in a race where Diamond Mix has some upside after only four chase starts and Chapel Green hinted at a revival on his return. Dream Jet is reliable enough to run his race without screaming winner, while the likes of Don Occhetti and Chumlee need dramatic improvement. Not impossible to solve, but you do need to decide whether to trust the favourite at a short price.
Top Selections
1. Conquer The Breeze – 5/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Mania | Trainer: Adam Nicol | Form: 244P-1 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 103
He is hard to oppose. That latest success suggests he’s back on the up, and what really stands out here is the weight: he’s rated 119 yet gets in with only 149lb, which gives him a clear practical edge against rivals carrying chunks more. This sharp enough trip around Hexham should suit a horse who looks happiest when not being stretched, and Ryan Mania is a good man to have dictating matters from the front or sitting handy. At 5/6 you are not stealing money, but in a race lacking depth he still makes plenty of appeal as the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Diamond Mix – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Bewley | Trainer: Paul Robson | Form: 51/13- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 105
If you want to take on the jolly for a bit of each-way value, Diamond Mix is the obvious one. He has a fairly unexposed chasing profile, and that 51/13- sequence tells you he has already shown he can win and back it up. He’s only 7, carries 167lb off a workable 117, and there may still be a bit more to come now connections have found his discipline. The slight concern is the absence, but in a race where several of these are either regressive or difficult to trust, he looks the solid alternative. At 11/4, he’s not a huge price, but he’s still the one I’d want onside against the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple. Conquer The Breeze is the win bet because he has the recent form, the right mark and a major pull at the weights. For an each-way punt in a seven-runner race paying three places, Diamond Mix makes most appeal as the likeliest one to chase him home. Chapel Green is the main danger if building on that comeback third.

18:50 – Port Of Blyth Novices’ Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This doesn’t look a deep novice handicap chase and, on paper, it revolves around the front two in the market. Scairp Dubh arrives on the back of a winning seasonal return and is the one with the clearest upside after just five starts over hurdles and fences combined, while Out On Her Own has been knocking on the door and gets plenty of weight from the favourite. Behind them, the race falls away sharply. Passengerontheship is the only one who makes much each-way appeal if bouncing back from a poor reappearance, but several of the others come here with badly frayed profiles and little recent encouragement. In truth, this is not a strong Class 5, but that can still make it awkward if the jumping gets messy around Hexham.
Top Selections
1. Scairp Dubh – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith | Form: 4120-1 | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 98
He’s hard to oppose. Scairp Dubh signed off last season with a below-par effort, but the immediate rebound to win on his return suggests that was only a blip, and his overall profile remains that of a progressive staying jumper who is still learning the job. A mark of 107 doesn’t look excessive in this company, especially with a Topspeed figure of 98 already on the board, and Sue Smith’s runners are often well suited by a stiff northern track like Hexham. Danny McMenamin is an eye-catching booking in this grade too. At even-money he isn’t exactly hidden, but he still looks the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Passengerontheship – 11/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Richie McLernon | Trainer: Sam England | Form: 2/86-P | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 87
This one is much more of a leap of faith, but in a race lacking depth he makes some each-way appeal. Passengerontheship has not advertised his chance with that pulled-up effort on his latest start, yet his earlier form hinted that he could be competitive off 96 if finding any fluency over fences. He’s not burdened with much weight, Richie McLernon is the sort you want aboard in these low-grade staying chases, and Sam England’s runners can often outrun the market when the opposition is thin. Available at 11/2, he doesn’t need to improve dramatically to get involved if one of the principals underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Scairp Dubh is the win bet because he has the strongest recent form and the most convincing profile in a weak race. For those looking beyond the obvious, Passengerontheship is the each-way punt at a fair enough price in a seven-runner field with three places on offer. Out On Her Own is the obvious danger after a string of solid efforts.

19:20 – Lynn Siddall Memorial Handicap Chase
Race Details: 3m | Class 5 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a fair little Hexham staying handicap rather than a deep one, and it doesn’t look short of possible pace with Killybegs Jet Lady, Milan Milos and The Clonmel Kid all arriving in decent nick. Milan Milos is the obvious starting point after getting off the mark last time and he has the profile of a 6yo who may still have a bit more to give over fences. Killybegs Jet Lady is solid enough for this level and her recent second says she’s right in the argument, while The Clonmel Kid backed up a win with a respectable effort and shouldn’t be underestimated. Kells Priory has Sean Bowen booked and that catches the eye, but his finishing efforts have been patchy. Tricky enough, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Milan Milos – 5/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Conor O’Farrell | Trainer: Tom Gretton | Form: 75431- | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 102
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few of these have had their chances. Milan Milos signed off last season with a win, and while it came in ordinary company, he did it in the style of a horse beginning to understand the job over fences. A mark of 114 doesn’t look harsh judged on that latest effort, and his Topspeed figure is one of the best on offer here. At 5/1, he looks a solid play rather than a flashy one, but that’s often the right angle in these Hexham staying chases. If he builds on that breakthrough success, he holds strong claims.
Bet: WIN
2. The Clonmel Kid – 13/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Joe Williamson | Trainer: Philip Kirby | Form: 7741-3 | Rating: 107 | Topspeed: 93
The each-way case is easy enough to make. He got his head in front before a perfectly respectable third on his return, which suggested the good work didn’t stop when the season did. Philip Kirby’s runner is generally reliable when he finds this sort of level, and a rating of 107 gives him room to be competitive without needing a career best. He does have to concede weight to some younger legs, but this is not a race overflowing with certainty and 13/2 looks fair for a horse coming here in form. In a nine-runner race with three places on offer, he makes plenty of each-way sense.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Milan Milos is the win bet because he’s the one with a bit of upside and arrives after a confidence-boosting success. The Clonmel Kid is the each-way option in a race where recent form counts for plenty and he looks likely to give you a run for your money. Killybegs Jet Lady is the obvious danger, while Kells Priory is interesting if the Bowen booking sparks improvement.

19:50 – Northumberland County Show Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a five-runner novice but it is not lacking interest. Bold Step and Mister St Eloi bring the sexier profiles as lightly raced types from major yards, while Passing Diamond is the one with the concrete hurdle form on the board after getting off the mark last time. That makes him a very solid standard-setter, though he does have to concede weight all round. Hexham can expose any weakness in stamina or fluency, and over 2m4f that experience counts for plenty. Coniston Commander and Rachel Lopez look up against it on what they have shown so far, so the market should have this right between the front three. Even so, it is a race where potential clashes with proven form, which makes it a proper little puzzle rather than a straightforward penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Passing Diamond – 7/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Richie McLernon | Trainer: Ben Haslam | Form: 3633-1 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 102
Passing Diamond is the percentage call. He has already shown a fair level in novice company, his string of placed efforts reading well enough in the context of this race, and he did what he needed to do when finally getting his head in front last time. An opening mark of 110 gives him something tangible for the others to aim at, and that Topspeed figure of 102 is comfortably the best on offer here. Yes, he gives weight away to the unexposed pair, but in a small field around Hexham I would rather side with the runner who has proved he can battle and see his race out. At 7/2, he looks the value against shorter-priced rivals with more to prove. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
In a five-runner race there is no each-way angle worth forcing, so keep it simple and back Passing Diamond to win. He sets the form standard and appeals most as a solid, battle-hardened option at the prices. Bold Step and Mister St Eloi are the obvious dangers on upside, with the Henderson runner especially feared if improving for his debut.

20:20 – Port Of Blyth Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a proper Hexham handicap rather than a gift for the market leader, and while Thewoodcorner is the obvious starting point after winning three of his five hurdle starts, he is not being handed anything in a 13-runner field. Divilabother is dangerously well treated on older pieces of form and shaped well enough on his return, while Sunset Hill and Double Digits arrive here on the back of solid runner-up efforts. Balboa is another with momentum after getting off the mark, and Wee Alki is not dismissed despite a higher mark. It looks a competitive Class 4 with a few in-form stayers and one classy 4yo, so this feels more like a tricky puzzle than a penalty kick.
Top Selections
1. Thewoodcorner – 13/8 with Betfair
Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: 61231- | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 94
He is the one with the most obvious upside. A 4yo from the Henderson yard, he signed off last season with another win and his profile suggests he is still learning rather than having shown his full hand already. An opening mark of 117 is not especially lenient in a race this deep, but he gets in here with just 11st 11lb and brings the sort of progressive profile that often proves too sharp for exposed northern handicappers. James Bowen is an eye-catching booking and, while 13/8 is hardly thumping value in a race packed with solid older rivals, he still looks the likeliest winner if coping with the track and rough-and-tumble of a big-field handicap. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Divilabother – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Reed | Trainer: Tristan Davidson | Form: 2245-3 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 109
He makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. The bare form figures do not scream certainty, but that latest third after a break was a fair reappearance and his Topspeed mark of 109 is one of the best in this field. He has enough tactical pace for this sort of race, stays the trip, and a mark of 116 looks workable if that comeback has brought him forward. Davidson’s horses often do well around these northern tracks and Harry Reed is a rider you want onside in a staying handicap hurdle. At 15/2 with four places on offer, he looks the sensible each-way punt against a short-priced favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Thewoodcorner is the win play because he is the progressive one and may simply be better than this grade despite top-end market expectations. For an each-way alternative, Divilabother looks solid value with four places available and should give a good account if building on his return. The main dangers are Sunset Hill, who comes here in form, and Balboa, who is less exposed than most of these.

20:50 – Jason Arnup After Party 6th June Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: 5.8) (watered) (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Hexham handicap hurdle on paper, but that does not make it straightforward. Fairly Fulling arrives in form after getting his head back in front and is the obvious starting point, while Fine Point has been threatening to do a bit better in this grade and should be suited by a sharp enough test at 2m. Malangen is interesting now eased in the weights and comes here after a solid second, whereas Western Soldier has the raw figures to be involved if bouncing back from a messy end to last season. In truth, there is not much depth to this field and a few come with questions attached, so it feels less like a strong race and more like the type where current wellbeing and a clean round will decide it.
Top Selections
1. Fairly Fulling – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Nathan Moscrop | Trainer: Susan Corbett | Form: 72441- | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 88
Fairly Fulling makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking solid recent winners. He signed off last time with a deserved success, and that sequence of 72441 suggests an 8yo who had been knocking firmly on the door before finally cashing in. A 3lb rise does not look overly harsh, especially in a Class 5 where several of these are either out of form or a touch unreliable. Nathan Moscrop is a good fit around Hexham and this yard often does well with these staying hurdlers dropping into the right race. At 11/4 he is not exactly hidden, but he still looks the one with the most persuasive profile. Bet: WIN
2. Fine Point – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Mania | Trainer: Adam Nicol | Form: 46043- | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 82
Fine Point is the each-way angle because he looks the sort to run his race again and this is not deep. Still only five, he has a bit more scope than plenty of these exposed older handicappers, and his latest third hinted that another ordinary race like this should be within range. He has been edging down to a workable mark and Ryan Mania is the kind of rider you want on a horse who needs delivering at the right time around here. The market has him prominent enough, but 7/2 is still fair if you think he is one of the likelier podium finishers. He is not bombproof, but he is solid. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fairly Fulling is the win play after arriving here off a proper piece of recent form and looking the most reliable option in a weak race. Fine Point is the each-way punt in a 10-runner field, with his profile suggesting he should be competitive again. Malangen is the main danger if building on that recent second, while Western Soldier is not one to dismiss at his best.
