Hexham Race 1 - Ogledigital.co.uk Accountant Said Cheltenham's Too Expensive Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
MISTER R (7) would only have to show a modicum of improvement from his debut effort to land what looks an uncompetitive maiden event. Beaten 25L into fourth on heavy going first time out. Likely player. BIGLESISBACK (10) is finding winning difficult having filled the runner-up spot on three occasions this season including one over course and distance. Pulled up on latest outing and needs the drop in trip to lift him. PRINCE PHIL (8) finished fifth beaten 10L debuting in a flat race. With the last two runners of this trainer finding success could go well. DANCING DIANA (11) maintains a similar profile and is capable of a challenge.

Last outing made ground from midfield; finished fifth of 10 runners at Carlisle on February 16 over 3400m, on slow going 39 len behind Johnny's Jury carrying 70kg at $81. Run before finished fifth of 8 starters at Ayr on January 13 over 3200m, on heavy track; 33 len behind Diamant Dore carrying 71.5kg at $10. Will be tested. Hard to have on recent efforts.

At debut, came from midfield; finished fourth of 11 starters at Kelso on February 13 over 3200m, on rain affected going; 24 len behind Kaka's Cousin carrying 70kg at $6. Can improve on first race start performance. Certainly worth following up.
