Hexham Race 5 - Northumberland County Show Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

BOLD STEP (2) made a promising debut when second in a jumpers flat at Exeter tackling 3300m beaten 2.75L. Keeping fresh since and could take well to obstacles. Makes plenty of appeal. MISTER ST ELOI (4) returns from 443 days away for Olly Murphy after finishing second in a Ballycahane point-to-point. Interesting recruit representing the main danger. PASSING DIAMOND (1) managed to build on a Sedgefield third when winning a maiden hurdle here attempting 3200m by 4L. Might be thereabouts again. Worth considering. CONISTON COMMANDER (3) switches to hurdles following a Carlisle jumpers flat fourth. Not discounted.

Last run finished second in a small field at this track on May 9 over 3200m, 17 len behind Tap Tap Shamie carrying 67.5kg at $41. Before that ran last at Cork on April 6 over 3218m, 39 len behind Born Believing with 71.5kg at $15. Needs to do more. Might find this a bit too tough.
