11th December

150 Hexham-Pretty competitive race but nothing with a compelling profile.
Knockgraffon King makes its debut for Donald McCains yard and if its ready after 230 days off then it has the ratings to run well.
Wicklow Lad is just favourite on my tissue after a good run last time and with the step back up in trip expected to suit but its price is similar to mine..
Just behind it on my tissue is Outlaw Tom.This horse returned recently after over 500 days
,it has a poor record fresh(0w-0p-6r after 80 days or more break).So it was no surprise it ran below par.When returning after 28 days or less its a much better 2w-1p-8r.Its in form trainer is 7 wins from 27 runners with her chasers here and on its 3 runs at this track its finished 1st-1st and 3rd.
Its possible it isnt the same horse but im happy to take the chance at the big price.
Back Outlaw Tom 4pts at 15.0 at Bet365-UP(-4pts)
Accept 13.0

220 Hexham-Discoverie is unexposed over fences and clear top rated after its good 2nd placed finish last week.It drops in trip but on this stiff track that may help and if its jumping stands the test around here then it should prove hard to beat.
Pamak D`Airy is pretty solid and looks sure to run its race but lacks the potential of Discoverie.
Cloverhill Lad,at its best wouldnt be far away but it looks handicapped to its best and has a very ordinary record after an absence like todays.
Decent Lord has only had 1 run over fences.It ran well until weakening late on and although this horse is very hit and miss,the drop in trip could see it make the frame.
Back Discoverie 15pts at 3.5 at Bet365-3rd(-15pts)Beaten by the drop in trip.(DT-19pts)
(Accept 3.25)
