Run Style Trends (Last 20 Winners): 1 – 60%, 2 – 10%, 3 – 30%, 4 – 0%
🏆 Winner – Mighty Moth (18/1)
Reliable front-runner with top Master figure (86) and strong recent form (Avg 78, M+A 164). Proven stamina and handles undulations — ticks all the Hexham boxes. If he jumps cleanly and gets into rhythm up front, he’s the one they’ll have to catch.
⚔️ Danger – Les’s Legacy (14/1)
Consistent type who stays the trip well. Excellent Ability rating (68) and rarely runs a bad race. Expected to sit just behind the leaders — ideal position for this course. If the pace collapses late, he’s the one staying on strongly.
💰 Value Each-Way – Monsieur Le Fuzz (7/1)
PLACED 🥈
Solid jumper with a strong finish, and the figures (M+A 142, Dis 79) show a horse in good heart. Has placed twice at similar level and seems well-suited to testing ground. Represents fair each-way value if the leaders overdo it up front.
Summary: Mighty Moth looks ready to make all on a course that rewards bold front-runners, Les’s Legacy is the danger if it turns into a stamina test, and Monsieur Le Fuzz gives each-way appeal for those wanting a safer play.

🏆 Winner – Lounge Lizard (5/1)
Consistent chaser who fits the Hexham mould — front-runner with excellent Master (87) and Ability (104) figures. Goes well fresh, handles cut, and the course’s long climb suits his stamina. With a clear round, he’s got every chance of grinding this out from the front.
⚔️ Danger – Hudson De Grugy (15/2)
Genuine and tough type who ran well off higher marks last season. Strong distance and course stats (Dis 1, Crs 1) and rated 108 on Ability. Likely to sit just off the leader and could pounce late if the favourite falters up the hill.
💰 Value Each-Way – Malaita (11/2)
PLACED 🥈
Improving mare who’s shown she stays well and can handle testing tracks. High Ability rating (127) and fair M+A figure (163) make her dangerous if she jumps fluently. At 9/1 she’s a solid each-way play with genuine winning potential.
Summary: Lounge Lizard can use his pace to control the race and see it out, Hudson De Grugy looks the main danger if the front-runner weakens, and Malaita appeals at the odds for an each-way shot with upside.
