Solid Strike (11/8), Well Joey (11/4), Outnumbered (6/1), Ringaringarosie (11/1), Silverton (11/1), Sory (12/1), Lost Frequency (20/1), Gin Cobbler (25/1)

It's not stretching the imagination to state that this is a particularly weak race even by Hexham standards, although it does feature last year's runner-up Silverton. With viable threats at a bare minimum, by far the likeliest candidate is the top-weight SOLID STRIKE. This fact has clearly been recognised by the agent of Brian Hughes, so with a safe round of jumping this should be yet another winner on the board.
