Verdict

The £380,000 purchase KNOW THE SCORE will attract all of the attention prior to this race and despite making a relatively modest hurdling debut at Chepstow last month, he ought to prove capable of winning at Hexham. His trainer David Pipe is a rare visitor to this Northumberland track (7-24; 29%, rising to 2-5; 40% over the past five years), so we should probably take the obvious hint. The main danger is the unexposed Baracalu. He has returned to the care of his former handler Sandy Thomson (horses are in-form) and rates as the type who will surely progress from this point forward.
