Among jockeys, Sean Quinlan (60 wins from 397 at Hexham, 15.11%) and Danny McMenamin (29 from 179, 16.20%) are the high-volume riders with consistent win/place output at this venue.

14:11 – Racing To School Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f 28y (4428y) | Class 4 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 13 runners
This maiden hurdle revolves around the market leaders on figures: Cushendun brings the top in-field Official Rating (118) and joint-best Topspeed (92), and he’s also the clear tipster lean in the naps data for this race (multiple sources selecting him today). The main threat on ratings is limited, but the market has a strong second string in Bold Reflection, priced to be involved. With no qualifying 3+ run Hexham course stats for these specific runners (in the course stats table, Cushendun is not among the 16 with 3+ Hexham runs today), this is a race where ratings + current price carry more weight than track experience.
Top Selections
1. Cushendun – Best Odds: 2/1 (3.00) ⭐
Jockey: Callum Bewley | Trainer: Ian Duncan
Form: 3/4263 | RPR: 118 | Topspeed: 92 | Weight: 161
Cushendun is the most solid on the available numbers: he’s top-rated in the field (118) and his Topspeed 92 is joint-best. The market agrees, with best price 2/1 (Bet365). He’s also the only runner in this race with multiple nap selections today (e.g. Jeffrey Ross and RP Ratings both have him at 14:11). With a 13-runner maiden, getting the top on both rating and speed is a major edge.
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Bold Reflection – Best Odds: 9/4 (3.25)
Jockey: Conor O’Farrell | Trainer: John C McConnell
Form: 18/ | Weight: 154
Bold Reflection is the clear market alternative at a best 9/4 (Bet365). While there’s no published rating/topspeed in the card data for him, the price positions him as the main danger. Notably, his trainer (John C McConnell) is an elite Hexham performer overall: 11 wins from 26 runners at the track (42.31%) among today’s trainers with 3+ course runs, which is a serious venue signal even if this specific horse lacks qualifying course runs.
Recommended Bet: Win / saver
3. Maiori – Best Odds: 4/1 (5.00)
Jockey: Ryan Mania | Trainer: Adam Nicol
Form: 4 | RPR: 106 | Topspeed: 82 | Weight: 161
Maiori’s profile is simpler: debut effort reads as a stepping stone (form 4), but he has a workable RPR 106 and is available at 4/1 widely. With Cushendun and Bold Reflection dominating the top of the market, Maiori is the one with enough on the figures (82 Topspeed) to make him the plausible ‘upside’ option for forecasts/each-way players.
Recommended Bet: Each-way (1/5 odds, 3 places where available)

| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cushendun | 2/1 | 9/5 | 15/8 | 9/5 | 2/1 |

| Hourman | 15/2 | 9/1 | 8/1 | 17/2 | 15/2 |
Betting Strategy
Win: Cushendun (top-rated 118; joint-top Topspeed 92; multiple nap support).
Each-way: Maiori at 4/1 where 3 places (1/5) is still on offer.
Forecast: Cushendun / Bold Reflection.

14:41 – Holiday At Hexham Racecourse Caravan Park Novices’ Handicap Chase
Race Details: 3m 0f 41y (5321y) | Class 5 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 11 runners
A tight handicap chase where the market and the tipsters point in different directions. Didntgotwenty is the clear favourite at 5/2 and has multiple nap selections today (On The Nose, Whistler). However, the most interesting statistical angle in this field is the track-proven consistency of Killybegs Jet Lady, who is a genuine Hexham place machine: 4 runs here, 4 places (100% place rate) among today’s qualifiers (3+ course runs). That’s a major edge for each-way/placing strategies in a Class 5 where finishing efficiency matters.
Top Selections
1. Didntgotwenty – Best Odds: 5/2 (3.50) ⭐
Jockey: Sean Quinlan | Trainer: Martin Todhunter
Form: -35521 | RPR: 95 | Topspeed: 78 | Weight: 152
Didntgotwenty is a strong win candidate at the prices because he combines market leadership with today’s naps support: both On The Nose and Whistler have selected him. He’s ridden by Sean Quinlan, who is a high-performing Hexham jockey on volume: 60 wins from 397 rides here (15.11% win; 50.88% place). In Class 5 handicaps, that consistent course output matters when the race gets messy late.
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Killybegs Jet Lady – Best Odds: 6/1 (7.00)
Jockey: Derek Fox | Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Form: 23352P | RPR: 100 | Topspeed: 48 | Weight: 163
This is the standout Hexham specialist in the field on pure course metrics: 4 course runs, 4 places (100% place rate) in the qualifying course stats. That profile screams reliability for place terms, even if the raw Topspeed figure (48) is not the best in the field. She also brings Derek Fox, whose Hexham record is solid: 20 wins from 145 (13.79%) with a 55.17% place rate.
Recommended Bet: Each-way (1/5 odds, 3-4 places depending on bookmaker; Skybet is paying 4 places)
3. Scottish King – Best Odds: 7/2 (4.50)
Jockey: Philip Armson | Trainer: Richard Armson
Form: 5F3311 | RPR: 102 | Topspeed: 97 | Weight: 168
Scottish King has the strongest single speed figure in the race (Topspeed 97) and comes here in obvious winning form (last two figures 11). He’s a danger to all if handling the weight. Jockey Philip Armson is also a positive at Hexham: 4 wins from 23 (17.39%) with 60.87% placing.
Recommended Bet: Win (danger/cover)

Forecast: Didntgotwenty / Scottish King.

15:11 – Weatherbys Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 0f 48y (3568y) | Class 4 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 12 runners
A strong Class 4 handicap hurdle with depth at the top: Fromheretoeternity brings the best Topspeed (117), while Smart Decision has the highest published RPR (123). The market leader is Eddie My Eagle at 10/3, and he’s also backed by multiple naps today (Garry Owen, Kieran McHugh). With no horses in this race appearing in the 3+ Hexham-run “horses” qualifiers list (course stats), this is primarily a ratings/speed/price puzzle rather than a track-specialist contest.
Top Selections
1. Eddie My Eagle – Best Odds: 10/3 (4.33) ⭐
Jockey: Philip Armson | Trainer: Dan Horsford
Form: 24211 | RPR: 122 | Topspeed: 99 | Weight: 164
Eddie My Eagle has the profile you want for this race: he’s near the top on RPR (122), has a credible Topspeed (99), and arrives with a clear upward formline ending 11. He’s also the only runner in this race with multiple nap selections today (two different sources). Add that Philip Armson has a strong Hexham record (17.39% win from 23 rides) and you’ve got a solid favourite who is justified by data rather than hype.
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Fromheretoeternity – Best Odds: 9/2 (5.50)
Jockey: Sean Quinlan | Trainer: Jennie Candlish
Form: -32544 | RPR: 122 | Topspeed: 117 | Weight: 162
Fromheretoeternity owns the best speed figure in the field (Topspeed 117) and is priced at 9/2 (Bet365/Betfred/Betfair). With Sean Quinlan’s Hexham strike-rate at 15.11% and Candlish a high-performing Hexham trainer historically (24 wins from 100 at the track in the qualifying trainer list), he’s a legitimate threat to the favourite on measurable outputs.
Recommended Bet: Win / exacta saver
3. Smart Decision – Best Odds: 9/1 (10.00)
Jockey: Mr Thomas Easterby | Trainer: Tim Easterby
Form: 311247 | RPR: 123 | Topspeed: 111 | Weight: 169
Smart Decision is the ratings-topper (RPR 123) and has a strong Topspeed of 111, but he also concedes weight (169). The value angle is the price: 9/1 is available despite him topping the RPR column. If the race becomes a test of class rather than speed, he’s the one who can easily outrun odds.
Recommended Bet: Each-way (terms vary by firm; several books are paying 4 places at 1/5)

| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |

15:41 – BK Racing Hexham Marathon Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 7f 199y (7019y) | Class 4 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 11 runners
This marathon chase demands stamina and track competence, and it’s a key race for Hexham best bets. The top of the market is tight: Planned Paradise (best 3/1) and Jo Coko (best 3/1) dominate. Jo Coko also has heavy nap support today (multiple tipsters selecting him in the naps feed), but Planned Paradise is the clear value leader on ratings with RPR 124 (top in field). This is also a race where jockey/trainer course records matter: high-volume Hexham riders like Jamie Hamilton (39 wins from 338 here) and Sean Quinlan (60 from 397) are embedded in the key players.
Top Selections
1. Planned Paradise – Best Odds: 3/1 (4.00) ⭐
Jockey: Charlie Maggs | Trainer: Christian Williams
Form: 054361 | RPR: 124 | Topspeed: 99 | Weight: 161
Planned Paradise has the best raw rating in the race (RPR 124) and is priced at 3/1. In a stamina test, a top rating combined with a workable weight can be decisive. While Christian Williams’ Hexham trainer stats in today’s qualifiers are modest (0 wins from 5 at Hexham in the returned list), the horse’s current performance level is clear in the rating column. With the market giving no margin (3/1), he’s the selection on measurable class.
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Jo Coko – Best Odds: 3/1 (4.00)
Jockey: Sean Quinlan | Trainer: Nicky Richards
Form: 234-31 | RPR: 122 | Topspeed: 77 | Weight: 168
Jo Coko is the tipster magnet in the naps data today (multiple independent tipsters landing on him in this 15:41). He also gets Sean Quinlan, who is Hexham’s most productive high-volume jockey in today’s data (60 wins here). Nicky Richards is also a proven Hexham trainer (20 wins from 98; 20.41%). He’s priced identically to Planned Paradise, so you’re effectively choosing between rating-topper and connections + tipster weight of money.
Recommended Bet: Win (or as part of forecasts)
3. Wal Buck’s – Best Odds: 4/1 (5.00)
Jockey: Derek Fox | Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Form: -44214 | RPR: 120 | Topspeed: 110 | Weight: 168
Wal Buck’s brings the best speed in the race among the principals (Topspeed 110) and is trained by a yard that is efficient at Hexham in today’s dataset (5 wins from 24, 20.83% win; 70.83% place). Derek Fox adds another strong Hexham course rider. At 4/1, he’s the main alternative to the top two and makes plenty of sense in forecasts.
Recommended Bet: Each-way (1/5, 3-4 places depending on book)

16:11 – Ronnie Parkes 80th Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f 28y (4428y) | Class 5 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 16 runners
A big-field Class 5 where Hexham course performance becomes a decisive separator. Les’s Legacy is a standout course specialist: 15 runs at Hexham, 4 wins (26.67%) and 53.33% placed. That level of track familiarity is rare in this field and makes him a strong each-way anchor at 8/1. The market leader is Another High Five (best 4/1), but the value is in the proven Hexham runners and the riders with top course records.
Top Selections
1. Les’s Legacy – Best Odds: 8/1 (9.00) ⭐
Jockey: Nathan Moscrop | Trainer: Susan Corbett
Form: 51P608 | RPR: 104 | Topspeed: 78 | Weight: 166
This is the day’s cleanest course-stat angle. Les’s Legacy has a deep Hexham profile: 4 wins from 15 here (26.67%) with 8 places (53.33%). In a 16-runner handicap, that’s exactly the type of proven efficiency you want for each-way and place strategies. He’s also trained by Susan Corbett, a high-volume Hexham operator in today’s trainer list (24 wins from 268 at the track).
Recommended Bet: Each-way (5 places available at 1/5 with several firms)
2. Another High Five – Best Odds: 4/1 (5.00)
Jockey: Patrick Wadge | Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Form: 5-232 | RPR: 101 | Topspeed: 69 | Weight: 168
Another High Five is the market’s focal point (best 4/1). The support is understandable when you factor in connections: Russell/Scudamore are running at 20.83% wins and 70.83% place at Hexham among today’s trainers with qualifying stats, and Patrick Wadge has a strong course place profile (58.62% place). He’s a logical win saver against the course specialist.
Recommended Bet: Win
3. Drop Kick – Best Odds: 11/2 (6.50)
Jockey: Jamie Hamilton | Trainer: Mark Walford
Form: 712323 | RPR: 100 | Topspeed: 98 | Weight: 162
Drop Kick offers a strong combination of Topspeed 98 and a consistently competitive form string (multiple placings). Jamie Hamilton is a long-term Hexham asset: 39 wins from 338 at the track (11.54%) and a 54.73% place rate. At 11/2, he makes sense as a win/forecast piece.
Recommended Bet: Each-way / forecast

16:41 – Weatherbys Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f 15y (4415y) | Class 4 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 6 runners
A small but competitive 6-runner chase where the market is very clear: Casual Observer is a short-priced favourite at best 11/8. The key piece of hard data supporting him is the naps selection (Spotlight has him for this race). But this is also the race containing two of today’s highest win-rate Hexham horses in the course stats qualifiers list: Glory And Honour and Chapel Green are both 1 win from 3 at Hexham (33.33%). With just six runners, the place market is tight (each-way is typically 2 places at 1/4), so targeting the most likely winner is usually the correct approach.
Top Selections
1. Casual Observer – Best Odds: 11/8 (2.38) ⭐
Jockey: Paul O’Brien | Trainer: Harry Derham
Form: 5/51-2 | RPR: 118 | Topspeed: 65 | Weight: 163
Casual Observer is the obvious selection because every major firm is holding him around the same mark, with best price 11/8. He also has a nap selection today for this race (Spotlight). While his Topspeed isn’t the highest (65), the market is strongly signalling overall suitability for this contest. In a 6-runner field with tight each-way terms, the win bet is the cleanest angle.
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Big John Wayne – Best Odds: 9/4 (3.25)
Jockey: Derek Fox | Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
Form: F/2-53 | RPR: 121 | Topspeed: 108 | Weight: 167
Big John Wayne is the ‘figures’ danger: Topspeed 108 and RPR 121 give him a clearly higher ceiling than the favourite on published numbers. Russell/Scudamore also have a strong Hexham place profile (70.83% place) and Derek Fox’s Hexham record is reliably positive (13.79% win; 55.17% place). At 9/4, he’s the one most likely to punish any favourite weakness.
Recommended Bet: Forecast with Casual Observer
3. Glory And Honour – Best Odds: 9/1 (10.00)
Jockey: Jonathan England | Trainer: Sam England
Form: 214553 | RPR: 121 | Topspeed: 110 | Weight: 166
Glory And Honour is the value play on course stats: he’s a qualifying Hexham horse with 1 win from 3 here (33.33%). At a best 9/1, that’s a very different proposition to the favourite. He also has strong Topspeed (110). If you want a bigger-priced runner to include in tricasts, he’s the one with both course win-rate and speed.
Recommended Bet: Place (where available) / tricast inclusion

17:13 – Horslyx – For Horse’s Health & Welfare Mares’ Open Maiden NH Flat Race (Cat 3 Elimination) (GBB)
Race Details: 2m 0f 48y (3568y) | Class 4 | Good to Soft | Jumps | 8 runners
The closing NH flat race is controlled by two at the top of the market: Bredas Pearl (best 9/4) and Emiko (best 2/1). Myfriendcooper brings the best single speed/ratings combo on the card data (Topspeed 95, RPR 104) and is priced at 6/1, which makes her the main value if you’re looking beyond the favourites. Tip-wise, we do have a nap selection here: Ben Morgan has selected Emiko today.
Top Selections
1. Myfriendcooper – Best Odds: 6/1 (7.00) ⭐
Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Trainer: Lucinda Hughes
Form: 4 | RPR: 104 | Topspeed: 95 | Weight: 158
Myfriendcooper is the best ‘value by figures’ in the race. She tops the field on RPR (104) and Topspeed (95) among runners with published numbers, yet is priced at 6/1—notably bigger than the market leaders. Danny McMenamin’s Hexham record is also a positive signal: 29 wins from 179 at the track (16.20%). If you want a price that is still supported by measurable performance, this is it.
Recommended Bet: Win (value) / each-way (1/5, 3 places)
2. Bredas Pearl – Best Odds: 9/4 (3.25)
Jockey: Ms L A Byrne | Trainer: John C McConnell
Weight: 158
Bredas Pearl is the market leader at best 9/4. Trainer angle is very strong for Hexham overall: John C McConnell is running at 42.31% at the track in the course trainer stats returned for today’s entries (11 wins from 26). In a race where many have limited public numbers, that’s a serious backbone behind the favourite.
Recommended Bet: Win
3. Emiko – Best Odds: 2/1 (3.00)
Jockey: Philip Armson | Trainer: Alan King
Weight: 158
Emiko is best 2/1 and is the only runner in this race with a nap selection returned today (Ben Morgan). Trainer Alan King is exceptional at Hexham in the qualifying trainer stats: 7 wins from 16 (43.75%) with an 81.25% place rate. That’s one of the strongest course-trainer signals on the entire card.
Recommended Bet: Win (if you prefer the trainer/tipster signal over price)
