Hexham 2.40
Hexham 2.40 Handicap Hurdle - Class 5 - 2 miles 7 furlongs - 13 run - Good to Soft.
WE tipped GEONICE at decent odds last time out here about 5 weeks ago and it got up close home and is an unexposed type who could well run up a sequence. Despite skinny odds I will have a recommend a win bet here in a race where the top 3 in the market (McGarry and Atomic Angel are the others) look pretty strong on form.
It's probable that Magic Of Milan and Yourgunnabeamunky will come on for their runs today and it's also probable that Court Baloo who ran up a 4 timer in 2019 off marks of 86-92-98 and 104, and who won again here off 102 last September (2020) could revive off a mark of 88 and may be worth a small flutter "in racing" if looking interested after a mile or so, but the value surely lies with ESPOIR MORVIERE.
Espoir Morviere like Cailin Dearg yesterday may need the run and will surely come on for it, but if it can take a blow down the back a second time before they hit the rising ground it can make its presence felt here. It has won (off 78) and placed (off 74) off similar breaks and runs off 78 here and ticks all the right boxes.
WIN - Geonice / Tracker - Espoir Morviere.
