Hexham Race 1 - Harrison Family Remembering Loved Ones Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TAP TAP SHAMIE (2) sets the standard after two runner-up efforts, most recently 2nd at Carlisle over 3877m, beaten 1.75L, and prior 2nd at Wincanton over 3063m, beaten 0.3L. COLINSKI (3) brings recent fitness from the Flat and was 2nd at Bath over 3441m last year. The rest arrive off sizable defeats, so Tap Tap Shamie (2) looks the key chance with Colinski (3) the main danger.
