625 Hexham-After a year off,Gulf Punch`s 3 runs have seen a steady improvement.This horse stays further than this so this stuff track should suit.Its run its best races on fast ground and after a recent run.

Golden Sparkle is improving but must progress again.Detour Ahead has a small query on the ground while Mrs Eff is off its highest ever handicap mark.

Back Gulf Punch 8pts at 6.0 at Bet365/BetVictor(Accept 5.5)-UP(-8pts)Never going at any stage

450 Uttoxeter-This is wide open.Rich Buddy is respected as it is slowly improving and Ukranian Star can be a tough horse to beat on its day.

Its always possible that Miss Overdrive isnt the same horse after a lengthy absence as its shown very little in its 2 runs back but its back on its favoured fast ground and interestingly,there was money for it last time.The trainer is in decent form.

Back Miss Overdrive 5pts at 11.0 at BetVictor(Accept 9.0)-4th(-5pts)Ran well(touched 2.12 in running) and only gave way at the last.Faster ground wouldve helped as it hurdled well.(DT-13pts)
