CIVIL UNREST has developed a reputation as a Hexham specialist and the 10-year-old won well at the North East venue last month after rallying gamely in the final stages to fend off the challenge of an improving runner-up. James Ewart's charge reverts back to hurdles off an unchanged mark and could be capable of accounting for a modest bunch of contenders headed by Urban Kode. The latter has been dropped back to a mark of 99 and that could see him return to form, while Nafaath also enters calculations following his triumph at Uttoxeter.
RIOJA DAY has yet to taste success over hurdles, but a small field/sharp track scenario is surely his best chance of rectifying that, and from a basement mark, he really should be competitive. Last-time-out winners Nafaath and Civil Unrest will have their supporters, but they aren't convincing, so Donna's Pride is feared most.
Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 4f and 3m on good ground. Well beaten at 9-1 behind Green Zone when 9th of 11 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Perth over 2m 4f (good) in September.

First-time cheekpieces made a big difference to the performance of JOHN WILLIAMS at Hexham last time so it is no surprise to see them left on today. The son of Presenting shaped as though landing a chase event at this level would come soon enough and a 3lb rise to a mark of 90 still leaves him relatively well handicapped. Ryalex remains lightly raced after just two starts over hurdles for Lucinda Russell and it would be no surprise if there was more to come from the five-year-old now switched to fences, while Roderick Random completes the list of likely contenders.
JOHN WILLIAMS shaped well and found only one too good at Hexham on his latest outing, and a repeat here should see him make a bold bid back up in trip. Chase-debutant Ryalex is interesting and market support would look significant, whilst Thankyou Very Much is also worth a second look.
Won on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race when 6-4fav at Kelso over 2m (good to firm) last month, beating Chorus Of Lies by 3 1/2l.

Donald McCain has landed this prize three times since 2012 and he looks to boast solid claims once more with THE CHARACTER fancied to continue his progress and claim back-to-back victories. The former Tom Dascombe-trained gelding got off the mark in this sphere at the second attempt at Bangor in September and despite a mistake at the last, he was always holding the runner-up at bay. Golden Town arrived at James Moffatt's over the summer with a lofty reputation but the former Godolphin inmate hasn't found jumping to his liking, with Kelso scorer Spectator expected to give the selection most to think about, just ahead of interesting Flat recruit Stipulate.
STIPULATE was useful on the Flat and should prove hard to beat if taking to hurdles at the first attempt for his in-form yard, especially in receipt of 7 lb from main rivals Spectator and The Character.
Has won 13 hurdle races and four chases from 2m to 2m 3f on ground varying from good to firm to heavy. Well beaten at 20-1 behind Jet Master when last of 7 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Perth over 2m (good to soft) in September. Has won 3 times this season.

This looks a trappy contest on paper with massive question marks over all competitors but preference goes to ENDEAVOR, who can be forgiven a disappointing run over hurdles last time at Perth and, in a contest that lacks a solid option, he looks the tentative one to side with. Shine A Diamond returns to the same mark he was runner-up off at Hexham in October 2015 and is a player if the first-time visor rekindles his enthusiasm. Lake Chapala refused on Sunday at Huntingdon but now has first-time cheekpieces (along with the hood) to ensure something similar doesn't happen again.
ENDEAVOR looks the best option here with all of his rivals having something to prove for one reason or another. Asuncion is potentially on a good mark and her stable ended their losing run recently, so is offered as the biggest threat.
He has won four hurdle races from 2m 6f to 3m on good and good to soft ground. A winner at 9-2 in a hurdle race at Bangor over 2m 7f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Court King by 15l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.

SHANTOU TIGER took apart a weak handicap hurdle at Bangor last Tuesday in taking style when bolting up by 15 lengths and, with this field not possessing much that could threaten him, he looks a fairly solid option again as long as he has recovered from last week's exertions. Rev Up Ruby is entitled to have improved for her return to action at Hexham last month and is back on the same mark she won off two starts ago at Cartmel, while Mad Money would have claims if bouncing back from a poor effort when sent off favourite at Hexham in September.
SHANTOU TIGER bounced right back to his best when running out a 15-length winner at Bangor last week and he will prove hard to beat turned out under a penalty if in the same form. Mad Money folded as if something was amiss last time but will be competitive if back to best, whilst Destiny Awaits will appreciate the return to this trip.
Has won a hurdle race, a NH flat race, six chases and a point-to-point from 2m to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to yielding - soft. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 5-2fav at Ayr over 2m 5f (good) last month, beating Harleys Max by 4l. Has won 3 times this season.

FORMIDABLEOPPONENT has been in tremendous form having won his last five outings and the step up in distance shouldn't prove to be any issue for William Young Jnr's charge, who doesn't look finished with his improvement. Proud Gamble should benefit from returning right-handed having shown better form going this way round recently, while Rivabodiva makes some appeal in first-time cheekpieces.
FORMIDABLEOPPONENT is at the top of his game at present, completing the 5-timer in good style at Ayr on Saturday, still looking a fresh horse, and there is no reason to oppose him while he is in this sort of form. Proud Gamble looks sure to be on the premises again, while it remains early days with Rivabodiva and she ought to do better at some stage.
