Forecasts

Ringaringarosie (7/2), Kitty Fisher (4/1), Miss Amelia (4/1), Sleep In First (6/1), Black Kettle (6/1), Pads (9/1), Roll Of Thunder (10/1), Duhallowcountry (14/1), Make It Happen (25/1)

Verdict

Both Kitty Fisher and Roll Of Thunder arrive in excellent fettle off the back of their respective recent wins, although are far from certain to be suited by dropping back in trip with the former having taken a 10lb hike in the weights for beating re-opposing rival Black Kettle by a comfortable 9L here a fortnight ago. Miss Amelia was a beaten favourite (second) on her last visit to Hexham, but is worthy of a positive mention. However, a chance is taken on the top-weight and veteran SLEEP IN FIRST who shaped encouragingly on his return to the track over hurdles here latest, and was a good ground C&D winner off this mark (100) in May 2018.
  1. Sleep In First
  2. Ringaringarosie
  3. Miss Amelia
