Carapuce did us a good turn at the weekend and with a modest turn out, there is every chance that he can post a quick follow up at Hexham. Tony Dobbin would have had the choice of the two Lenny Lungo representatives and he is seldom ever wrong in his decision making. Kidithou has certainly done nothing wrong with two victories at the track. On the negative side however, his hurdling technique is a little on the agricultural side and this will have no doubt have been worked upon. Now Then Sid hails from an unfashionable yard and should be suited by the smaller field size. He impressed on a previous course and distance effort this month and should be watched in the market for any evidence of support. Rascella is still a maiden over hurdles. He put up a fair performance at Bangor on reappearance but there is the slight suspicion that he is better over a shorter trip. Son of Snurge is a professional loser who has been unable to score in three years of attempts over hurdles. We though will search for a winner and Carapuce is progressive enough to take this prize.
