Hexham

Tomorrow, April 14, 2025ChaseClass 53m

The vote goes to TOROSAY, who returned to form back here when third to Gibberwell last month and she now enjoys a handy pull at the weights with that rival, while the addition of cheekpieces could help eke out a bit more. Dr Shirocco makes each-way appeal with conditions in his favour, along with Kicksaftersix, who is interesting now faced with a stiffer test. Hat-trick seeker Halfway House Lad shouldn't be too far away and the selection's stablemate Return Fire would be a threat if on-song.

    Verdict
    Fortuitous winner at Newcastle on return (nearly 50 lengths down when left alone 2 out) but no element of luck associated with last month's back-to-back wins (latterly over this C&D). Combined 9 lb rise for that brace means that another personal best will be needed but he's clearly in good nick.

    Would have a serious chance off this lowly mark if back to anything like his best but his efforts so far this season have lacked spark. Cheekpieces refitted.

    Verdict
    Opened chase account over C&D in 2023 and belatedly added to that when again netting a handicap here last month with several of these rivals behind. Looked better than ever that day but still opposable this time, now effectively 9 lb higher in the weights.

    Verdict
    Improved last spring, runner-up twice at Newcastle prior to opening her account over this C&D. Best effort of this season so far when third back here in race won by Gibberwell and entitled to have a say in first-time cheekpieces, provided she goes on the ground (largely campaigned on soft/heavy).

    Verdict
    Successful over C&D last May (second win here) and left low-key reappearance behind when scoring at Musselburgh (23.6f, good to soft) in November. Didn't appear to stay 4m back at this course last time and each-way claims back down in trip off a fair mark and with the drying ground in his favour.

    Verdict
    Sole success to date was gained here back in 2023 but, to his credit, he was runner-up 3 times on the bounce at around 2m between July and October last year. Should come on for last month's Newcastle reappearance and could have a say if his jumping/stamina passes the test (untried beyond 21f).

    Verdict
    Continues to fall in the weights and while there were positives to take from his latest third in a 7-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f, good) on first start following a wind op, the fact that his losing run stretches back to 2019 is naturally a concern.

    Verdict
    Notched third success here when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in November. Followed that with a good third at Musselburgh but below par since (including back here in race won by Gibberwell last month) and yet to prove himself to be a 'spring horse' (all 4 career wins gained during autumn months).

    Verdict
    Multiple point winner who opened Rules account in a soft-ground Kelso handicap chase last spring. Positive start to this season when placed back at Kelso and then Carlisle but form has dipped pretty badly since (pulled up in C&D contest won by Gibberwell last time) and now has a fair bit to prove.
