BETTERFOREVERYONE's previous visit to Hexham resulted in a 4m win and it might be worth chancing that a return to Northumberland prompts a return to form from a 9-y-o who is back on the mark he defied at Bangor last autumn. Jet Legs is another who is 1-1 at this venue and is second choice ahead of Hostile Hotelier and Nicky Richards veteran No Regrets.
