2.10 Hexham – CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES (1pt win – 5/1 bet365, 9/2 generally)
Mark Walford’s CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES placed in all four point-to-point outings before last month’s respectable 28-1 fifth of ten in a 2m1f novices’ hurdle at Carlisle. The five-year-old raced prominently on the inside rail – where the ground was clearly slowest – and stayed on again at the business end, suggesting that today’s 2m4f trip will suit. His trainer has a useful record in maiden hurdles and this race looks weak.

2.25 Exeter – DJELO (1.5pt win – 5/2 generally) & HELTENHAM (0.5pt win – 25/1 generally)
DJELO has a fine record when fresh, winning his sole start in France in the 2021/22 season and scoring on both seasonal debuts since joining Venetia Williams, including in handicap hurdle company here at Exeter on his British debut. He’s three from three in handicap chase company and is better equipped to handle the good ground than the majority of his rivals.
This race might smack of ‘afterthought’ for HELTENHAM after Dan Skelton pulled him out of his intended comeback run at Wetherby last weekend and the trip is likely on the sharp side for the seven-year-old but his record on galloping tracks makes him worth a saver. When running on tracks described by Proform as ‘sharp’ his record reads 0223828 (0-7) but at other venues his figures look far more impressive – 32111F111F (6-10) for a profit of £15.29 to a £1 level stake at SP.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Sedgefield Form Doesn’t Travel
I’ve heard the expression “Sedgefield form doesn’t travel” from racing pundits on numerous occasions (as recently as last week on William Hill radio) and I’ve often downgraded the chance of Sedgefield winners when they change venue for their next start. However, I’ve never dug into the stats in detail, and I want to use this…
