Hexham Race 2

Touch And Try Trophy Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $16,605

IMPERFECTLYPERFECT (5) resumes after a seven-month spell. Third in a 3250m jumpers flat at Kelso beaten 5L when last seen fresh and on the basis of that effort is expected to go close. TAMARIND BAY (6) produced a solid third two starts back in a 4000m hurdle at Worcester. Failed to finish tackling the same trip there last time. Still holds genuine claims. AT VIMEIRO (1) placed third in a 3400m hurdle at Cartmel having won a 3450m maiden hurdle at the same venue. Among the top hopes. TINEGGIORI (7) resumes from a break after a single outing last prep finishing fifth in a maiden event at Market Rasen. Improvement possible.

Recent form impressive for this race. Freshened for 49 days. Last run ran on from midfield; finished third of 10 runners at Cartmel on August 23 over 3400m, 6 len behind Bittalemon with 72.5kg at $2.40. Run before favourite; tracked on the speed and boxed on to post a big 4.5 len win. Cartmel on July 21 over 3450m slow going defeating Taktique Gagnante with 70kg at $6 in a hurdle. Has been racing well. Hard to beat.

Having third race start. First race start finished tenth of 13 runners at Wetherby on March 28 2024 over 3200m, on slow going 35 len behind Jupiter Des Mottes carrying 71kg at $15. Returned from break ran on from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Kelso on September 17 over 4200m, 12 len behind Jackson Lamb carrying 70kg at $67. Definite chance. Must be respected.

At only start last preparation finished third in a small field at Wetherby on March 18 over 3200m, 10 len behind White Riot with 71kg at $6.50. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Having raced just once last preparation finished fifth of 9 starters at Market Rasen on October 15 over 3300m, 18 len behind Roadlesstravelled with 71.5kg at $4. When resuming last campaign finished second of 8 runners at Newcastle on February 24 2024 over 3390m, in the wet; a head behind From The Clouds carrying 73kg at $7. Better than last run but needs to bounce back.
