C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 16/1, creditable third of 13 over C&D (good) 17 days ago, with the reopposing Killybegs Jet Lady ¾ length ahead in second. Thereabouts if in similar form.

Forecasts

Katie's Melody (6/4), Dr Shirocco (3/1), Milan Milos (4/1), The Clonmel Kid (9/2), Killybegs Jet Lady (5/1), Kells Priory (8/1), Worth The Walk (17/2), Don Brocco (17/2), West Lawn (10/1)

Harry Derham has won with 3 of the 5 runners he's sent to Hexham from his Lambourn base and can enhance that strike rate with KATIE'S MELODY, who has been shaping up quite well over hurdles and a point win at the start of her career suggests she may do better again now chasing. Killybegs Jet Lady is respected after her good C&D second earlier in the month, while The Clonmel Kid can go well back down in grade.
