William Of York (G)
[V1T]
Three wins over fences in spring 2024 but has completed only once in 6 subsequent starts, pulling up again at Carlisle last time. It remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles and a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces)…

Divilabother (G)
Won over 2½m here last summer. Encouraging return from a break when 13 lengths fifth of 10 to Stylish Recruit here (2½m, good to soft) 19 days ago. Big player if stamina holds now up in trip.

Dusky Days (G)
[P]
In good form at Cartmel last summer, winning over 17f and runner-up over longer trips. Been off for 8 months and got to be a chance he'll be using this to get primed for Cartmel again.

Charlotte Jones | James Moffatt | 9 | 73.5 kg |

Wee Alki (G)
[TP]
Not straightforward but won over C&D in November and arrives on the back of a pair of good seconds to Dillarchie over 27f at Sedgefield in recent months.

Adveram (G)
[T1P]
Ended a long losing run when seeing off 8 rivals over C&D (heavy) in December but has pulled up at other venues in his 3 outings since. Needs a return to Hexham and a first-time tongue tie (added to cheekpieces) to have a revitalising effe…

It's Maisy (M)
Gained reward for some creditable efforts this season when ending a 2-year losing run at Newcastle (3m, good) 12 days ago. That was a weak 4-runner race so even a 4 lb nudge may leave her vulnerable for win purposes.

Oscar Palmer | J Parkinson & S Smith | 8 | 72.1 kg |

| 4th | 7 | — |
Dillarchie (M)
[TP]
In a good vein of form in recent months, completing a staying handicap hurdle hat-trick at Catterick and Sedgefield (twice; Wee Alki second both times). Another 4 lb higher now but has to be respected in her current mood.

Sean Quinlan | Miss J E Foster | 9 | 71.7 kg |

Guernesey (G)
[P]
Out-and-out stayer who ran his best race of the season when narrowly denied by Adveram over C&D in December. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (25f, good) 28 days ago. Considered back at Hexham. NON RUNNER.

Non Runner | Mrs J Stephen | 10 | 71.2 kg |

East Eagle (G)
[T]
Second success of the year and a career-best effort when seeing off 9 rivals at Stratford (3¼m, good to soft) 13 days ago, pulling 9 lengths clear. An 8 lb rise demands another improved performance.

Charlie Maggs | M E Sowersby | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Stylish Recruit (G)
[TP]
Seems to save his best for this track, bouncing back to form with a bang to win 2½m handicap here (good to soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip.

P W Wadge | A M Thomson | 8 | 70.3 kg |

Victory Club (G)
[V]
Easy winner of 19f Stratford handicap hurdle for Dan Skelton last summer. Has made the frame on 4 of his 6 starts since joining this yard, including third at Kelso when last seen in November. Claims if fully primed after 165 days off.

Jamie Hamilton | R Menzies | 9 | 69.9 kg |

Robert d'Ores (G)
[TP]
Won this last year and added another C&D success in October. Not disgraced in 2 outings back from a break last month and has to be of interest back at Hexham.

Jonathon Bewley | G Bewley | 9 | 69.4 kg |

| 15th | 13 | — |
Belladinotte (M)
C&D winner last June and back from a break to add to her tally at Southwell (23m, good to soft) last month. Should remain competitive off 5 lb higher.

James Turner | Sara Ender | 7 | 67.6 kg |

| 9th | 14 | — |
Knacker Trapper (G)
On a losing sequence but he arrives on the back of creditable places efforts over 2½m at Newcastle and Sedgefield in recent months. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree so this trip could suit.

William Maggs | A Crook | 8 | 67.6 kg |

My Boy Christy (G)
FAV
[P]
First impact in handicap hurdles when second of 9 over 2½m here (good to soft) 19 days ago. Leaves impression this longer trip could suit and he's much less exposed than the majority of these.

Lord De Vinci (G)

Maiden who ran poorly back hurdling at Carlisle 4 weeks ago, weakening quickly. Back up in trip. Could only consider if backed.
