Couple of bumper horses at Hexham on Monday

Thankfully, the bumper at Hexham on Monday afternoon has been split in two and we have a runner in each.
Craig Nichol takes the ride on both, in the stable colours for Enemy At The Gate (4.30 pm) and for The Buyers Club with Undecided at 5.35 pm.
These horses worked together on Wednesday morning and there wuldn't be a lot between them and even on form (RPRs), each horse has shown a similar level. We're looking for both to gain more experience and show improvement.

There is not as much form on show in this first division as compared to Div II (see below) but this could be quite competitive as a result. Jedd O'Keefe's 4yr old Mahler gelding Fringall Dike hails from an excellent family and is owned by the Chapman's (Sam Spinner, Miah Grace etc.) so a bold display will surely be expected.
Ian Williams has Ailes D'Amour out again quite quickly after a promising debut 4th at Warwick about 3 weeks ago. As long as he doesn't feels the effects of that run, he could be in the shake-up with Skelton in the saddle.
Brian Hughes teams up with Rebecca Menzies with Irish Point 3rd Fever Roque but this was modest form and he looks to be one that will improve with experience.

The ones that catch the eye against Undecided have shown a fair level of form in either bumper runs or Irish Point-to-Point outings. Nicky Richards' Fly By Milan (Brian Hughes) has recorded a fairly useful level of form in being placed in 3 NH Flat runs, while Skelton-Skelton oppose with Kayf Hernando. Kayf Hernando has had just the one Point run for Monbeg when short-headed in December, and a line through the winner and third would put this gelding right in the mix with Fly By Milan.
Laura Morgan's Radetzky March has recorded more letters than numbers in 4 Point runs but the best of these would be on a par with Kayf Hernando. He is closely related to several useful NH winners and Morgan does very well with such types on initial bumper runs so this horse wont be far away.

Best of luck to all connections.
