Hexham Race 2 - Major Family Law 16 Year Anniversary Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
BENMORE (1) finished a distant fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster during February. Worth noting down in distance wearing first-time cheekpieces. Improvement expected. FAMOUS LISS (2) looks to bounce back from a disappointing ninth in a 4100m Newcastle maiden hurdle. Prior to that finished fifth contesting the G2 Rossington Main Novices Hurdle at Haydock. Not to be discounted. NATHAN WELLS (6) is another adopting cheekpieces for the first time. Expected to be competitive with an attractive claimer on board. JUNGLE JET (4) could be of interest making rules debut.
