Pedigree hints that this step up in trip will be a plus on his second handicap start
1	Rock Dj Bay J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	J:Jamie Hamilton T:Mark Walford	168	—	267545	104	102	73	23d	—	—	-1	19.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
He's run pretty well in his first two handicaps and drops back down in grade today
3	Divilabother Grey J:Derek Fox T:Tristan Davidson	J:Derek Fox T:Tristan Davidson	168	—	221224	104	108	99	123d	—	—	+11	28.5	1.13/1	9/2 18%
C&D winner on stable debut last August; could be a contender after a break
8	Stylish Recruit Bay J:Patrick Wadge T:Sandy Thomson	J:Patrick Wadge T:Sandy Thomson	153	tp	3P5PP0	89	101	65	22d	—	—	+4	12.1	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Very hard to fancy on his form since last October but the return to Hexham could help
7	Getaway Master Bay J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	J:Conor O'Farrell T:Micky Hammond	158	h	8127P6	94	104	100	19d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+7	15.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Step back in right direction when sixth of 14 over C&D; capable of building on that effort
2	Balking Chestnut J:Ryan Mania T:Dianne Sayer	J:Ryan Mania T:Dianne Sayer	168	—	0592-8	104	107	75	49d	—	—	+8	15.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
25-1 runner-up on h'cap debut last January; may have needed this season's sole run since
10	Do Ye Wanna Chestnut J:Peter Kavanagh T:George Bewley	J:Peter Kavanagh T:George Bewley	142	—	77-P37	78	103	59	19d	0W/0P 1 run	0W/0P 1 run	+1	9.2	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Third on handicap debut in February; underwhelming since but not written off
4	Asa Grey J:Joe Williamson T:Philip Kirby	J:Joe Williamson T:Philip Kirby	165	p	976313	101	108	87	25d	—	—	+19	26.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Has been in good heart over hurdles and fences this year and she's a possible player
9	Eire Street Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Jackie Stephen	J:Sean Quinlan T:Jackie Stephen	152	v	PP5PP8	88	104	108	17d	—	—	+5	11.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Very well treated on old form but pulled up/tailed off on his last three starts
6	Woodview Lad Bay J:Benjamin Macey(5) T:Gary Hanmer	J:Benjamin Macey(5) T:Gary Hanmer	159	—	3-7498	95	102	58	13d	—	—	+11	14.1	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Very lightly raced but tailed off at big odds last month in his first two handicaps
