Espoir Moriviere (2/1), Cudgel (3/1), Pleney (7/2), Wind Of Hope (9/1), Strike West (11/1), Aniknam (16/1), Aengus (16/1), Broadway Belle (22/1), Coniston Spa (22/1), Dolly's Dot (33/1), Dorothy's Flame (50/1)

A low-grade contest which could quite feasibly spring a shock result. However, despite both being ten-race maidens Cudgel and ESPOIR MORIVIERE just about set the standard on the basis of previous C&D form. The selection has made the frame (332) on each of his last three visits to Hexham, including when a well-backed second to Casimir Du Clos (runs earlier) three weeks ago. If merely replicating that kind of performance, he'll surely have the measure of Wind Of Hope (fourth), Strike West (sixth), Dorothy's Flame (eighth) and Aniknam (pulled up).
