Forecasts
Slim Pickens (1/2), Mondlicht (3/1), Discoverie (7/1), Alyasan (14/1), Spinning Scooter (20/1), Bygones For Coins (33/1), Torero (33/1), Raifteiri (125/1)
With all due respect to connections, a truly awful contest to kick off the evening action at Hexham. Discoverie will be suited by dropping back to 2m and likes to race prominently, and could battle for the lead with Torero who has claims on his best form over this trip for Gary Moore. Life will be tough for Mondlicht in handicaps so a seller looks the way forward whilst Alyasan looks a shell of the horse trained by Seamus Durack and Dan Skelton. SLIM PICKENS would have carried these rivals on his back in his prime and in such a weak race is worth chancing on his return from 18 months off with Sam Twiston-Davies booked.
