Hexham Race 3 - Happy Birthday Margaret Watling Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Irish raider ROAD TO HOME (6) finished 3L third in a 3100m maiden hurdle at Naas most recently. Representative of Willie Mullins and partnered by the Irish champion amateur jockey. Leading player. HE'S BRESILIAN (2) brings solid placed form in view of a 6L third tackling 3390m at Newcastle. Main danger. KINGSTON ROCK (5) produced a good 7L third over course and distance in latest. Warrants consideration. KELVIN FORLONGE (4) is unexposed and cannot be discounted.
