Verdict — our pick: No Regrets
No Regrets is our selection at Hexham, and he looks the one to side with over the top-rated pair on a fitness edge and a progressive profile. At 112 he is only 4 points behind Jet Legs and Dinons, a gap that a sharper, improving stayer can bridge over the marathon 24 furlongs on good ground. Jet Legs and Dinons share the top rating of 116 and Loulou Madrik is just a point behind, so the principal dangers are a sound trio who will take plenty of beating. Still, No Regrets has the better trajectory and is the call, though only at low confidence.

1. Wal Buck's(0)Form: 42144-
J: Derek Fox · T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore · 7yo · 12st 0lb · OR 112 · trainer 21% (14d)
By Buck's Boum out of Walsamelle (Walk In The Park) · Owner: John P Mcmanus
Fourth last time out and a fourth two starts back, he won three starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but a 199-day absence and 168 lb on his back temper the appeal. Our rating of 112 ranks him fourth of nine.
2. Getaway Vic(0)Form: /42231
J: James Bowen · T: Mickey Bowen · 7yo · 12st 0lb · OR 112 · trainer 18% (14d)
By Getaway out of Our Victoria (Old Vic) · Owner: Llangoedmor Partnership
Getaway Vic won last time out and has finished in the first three in four of his last five, while he has run over today's trip and going before. The 168 lb burden and a 43-day break temper things, and our rating of 108 ranks him sixth of nine.
3. Jet Legs(0)Form: 6664-5
J: Ryan Mania · T: Martin Todhunter · 9yo · 11st 12lb · OR 110 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Jet Away out of Supreme Magical (Supreme Leader) · Owner: Mrs Suzy Brown Peter R Brown
Fifth last time out, and a fourth two starts back, show Jet Legs holding his form in recent runs, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him top of nine, but 154 days off and 166 lb are the main risks.
4. No Regrets(0)Form: 48-123
J: Danny McMenamin · T: Nicky Richards · 12yo · 11st 12lb · OR 110 · trainer 100% (14d)
By Presenting out of E Mac (Old Vic) · Owner: Tarzan Bloodstock
No Regrets is our pick on profile: he's third last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, a consistent recent record, and he has run over today's trip and on this going. A weight of 166 lb and 33 days off are the minor reservations.
5. Loulou Madrik(0)Form: 23452-
J: Jamie Hamilton · T: Mark Walford · 5yo · 11st 11lb · OR 109 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Choeur Du Nord out of Sunday Madrik (Esprit Du Nord) · Owner: Ursa Major Racing Ltd Partner
Second last time out and in the frame in three of his last five, Loulou Madrik has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 115 ranks him third of nine; the one concern is a 189-day absence under 165 lb.
6. Dinons(0)Form: U-3875
J: Brian Hughes · T: Brian Ellison · 13yo · 11st 4lb · OR 102 · trainer 5% (14d)
By Balko out of Beni Abbes (Saint Des Saints) · Owner: Brian Ellison Racing Club
Fit after just eight days off, Dinons has run over today's trip and on this going, and his last-time-out fifth follows a third four starts back. Our rating of 116 ranks him second of nine, but he is winless in his last five and the stable's form (1/21) is the worry.
7. Jeteye(0)Form: 143121
J: Jonathan England · T: Sam England · 9yo · 11st 3lb · OR 101 · trainer 15% (14d)
By Jet Away out of Shuil Sionnach (Mandalus) · Owner: Tor Side Racing
Jeteye won last time out and has three wins in his last six starts, with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, so the form is hard to knock. Ranked seventh of nine on our figures and carrying 157 lb off 101, though, he looks a tough sell.
8. Ribeye(0)Form: 6-P424
J: Callum Bewley · T: Peter Atkinson · 11yo · 10st 11lb · OR 95 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Lucarno out of Elusive Swallow (Terimon) · Owner: Mrs Lucinda Atkinson
Ribeye is yet to win in his last five, though a fourth last time out and a second two starts back show he is in decent heart, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 151 lb off 95, he is hard to fancy, ranked eighth of nine on our figures.
9. Sledgehammer(0)Form: P6-64F
J: Charlie Maggs · T: Adrian Keatley · 6yo · 10st 2lb · OR 86 · trainer 19% (14d)
By Affinisea out of Kegster (Bach) · Owner: Mrs B Keatley
Sledgehammer is hard to fancy, having fallen last time out and returning from 84 days off, remaining winless in his last five starts, with a fourth two starts back his best finish. He has run on today's going and our rating has him last of nine, though he does carry 142 lb off an official mark of 86.
