Forecasts

Horace Hazel (11/8), Ballyrock (2/1), Towering (4/1), Sun Spider (17/2), Flying Jack (25/1), Arousal (250/1)

Realistically there are only three runners with a chance in this rather dismal opener to Ladies Day at Hexham. Horace Hazel should appreciate this longer trip and drop in grade after a decent showing in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle, whilst the 2m7f trip is a slight concern for 2m course winner Towering. The booking of George Blackwell, who receives a handy 8lb claim (for his own stable) sways the vote towards BALLYROCK. A reproduction of either of his last two performances in this company ought to be good enough for this top-rated (120) veteran.
