Andanother

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: Mrs H O Graham

33/1

12th foal; half-brother to various winners, the most relevant of which in the context of this race is the 2m hurdler Soleil D'Hiver.

Form:

Get An Oscar¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: P & M Bowen| BF| CD

9/2

€600 foal who is not only a point-to-point winner, but also the winner of a good ground C&D bumper (June). However, that form isn't overly exciting, and she ran in snatches following a short break at Market Rasen latest.

Form: 2-R1216

Getaway Gerry¹⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁷⁾| T: K Scott

40/1

Dam a 2m4f hurdle winner; 50/1 for debut over C&D in April (soft) when finishing sixth of nine to Melekhov.

Form: 6-

Juriste⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

33/1

9,000gns yearling; brother to the 1m4f winner Recollection; not in the same parish as the unbeaten Longhouse Sale (beaten 25L) on debut at Market Rasen in August; more realistic assignment.

Form: 3

Largy Mountain¹⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: S R B Crawford

10/1

His dam was a 2m3f and 2m5f hurdle winner; pulled-up in all three starts in Irish point-to-points (3m).

Form: P-PP

Little Rory Mac¹⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| BF

5/4

Closely related to the 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase winner Mill Quest; showed signs of inexperience on debut at Hereford (2m, heavy) in April, but posted a most pleasing start in finishing a ½L second to Geordie B (form largely untested since).

Form: 2-

Mr Scrumpy¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: R D Day⁽³⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

5/2

Half-brother to the bumper winner Rosemary Russett; 16/1 when finishing a staying on 3L third to Northern Soul on debut at Market Rasen in April; form largely untested since.

Form: 3-

Creadan Belle³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Fergus Gregory⁽⁵⁾| T: G Elliott

10/1

First foal out of a fairly moderate dam (Aliceaneileen); beaten 12L when finishing fourth of seven to Carrie Des Champs at Perth (2m, good); significant improvement needed.

Form: 64

Dorothy's Flame¹⁵⁴

Weight: 10-11| Age: 6

Forecasts

Little Rory Mac (5/4), Mr Scrumpy (5/2), Get An Oscar (9/2), Creadan Belle (10/1), Largy Mountain (10/1), Andanother (33/1), Juriste (33/1), Getaway Gerry (40/1), Dorothy's Flame (66/1)

Not a particularly strong bumper on all known form and without the presence of any eye-catchingly unexposed runners, this probably rests between LITTLE RORY MAC and Mr Scrumpy (unless the market dictates otherwise). Both horses displayed promise on debut, and whilst neither piece of form has been sternly tested since, a marginal preference is for the Philip Hobbs-trained runner. He demonstrated signs of inexperience in chasing home Geordie B (Hereford), but assuming that he's equally effective going left-handed, he could well give 5lb claimer Sean Houlihan a winner on just his second ever ride at Hexham.
