Both
John Williams (2017 race winner) and
Roll Of Thunder know their respective ways around Hexham blindfolded, with the latter expected to be suited by the continuing drying of the ground during the second half of this week (has been very windy). However,
BOCASIEN DESBOIS was very well supported when winning over 2m4f here eight days ago, and although undoubtedly aided by a final fence blunder from Ripstick, he should once more have the measure of
Benarty Hill and
Brother Scott. His trainer Martin Todhunter will no doubt be particularly satisfied with a token 3lb weights rise.
