Verdict

The last race at Hexham for a couple of months looks a tricky puzzle to solve. Recent C&D winner Morning Time is always to be feared at this track and ended a long losing run when driven right out to score three weeks ago. Oh So Gigolo should be noted for market support, and will be much better suited by this trip than the 2m6f he raced over at Cartmel last month. Swaledale Lad shaped as if he needed the race at Newton Abbot recently, but MOTION TO STRIKE gets a narrow vote for Jackie Stephen. Formerly with Rebecca Menzies, this seven-year-old ran his best race for this new yard at Perth on his most recent outing, and despite a 4lb rise in the weights could be good enough to go one place better in a moderate affair.
