Forecasts

Landecker (4/1), Jac The Legend (4/1), Grand Enterprise (9/2), Bescot Springs (5/1), Waterclock (13/2), Bourne (8/1), Fly Vinnie (8/1)

A tight handicap. Grand Enterprise looks capable of getting the better of old rival Jac The Legend over this slightly shorter trip, but there probably isn't a great deal to choose between both horses. Bourne has been waiting for this better ground, whilst Bescot Springs should never be written off at Hexham despite his advancing years. However, a real chance is taken on the Micky Hammond trained WATERCLOCK. His recent hurdles form is no great shakes and he was comfortably beaten on the Flat at Pontefract by a stablemate recently, but he was mixing it from marks of 122 at Wetherby early in 2016, and with 10lb claimer Hugo Thompson Brown booked, he effectively races from a much reduced mark of 100 today.
