Hexham Placepot picks: Richard Birch with an eight-line perm for the jumps card

Sam Drinkwater sends one runner, Cup Of Coffee, on the long trip from Worcester to Hexham for the 2m handicap hurdle (1.00), opening leg of the Placepot, and can be rewarded with a winner.

The mare has been dropped 3lb for a creditable Doncaster fourth last month and ought to make a bold bid.

Course-and-distance winner Lord Caprio is also of interest now he returns to the good ground which suits him so well.

Brelan D’As and Wee Small Hours are the pair to focus on in the 2m4f handicap chase (1.30), while Irish raider Bronson In Blue appears to hold all the aces in the 2m7½f novice hurdle (2.05).

Tokaramore should run a big race in division one of the 2m4f handicap hurdle (2.40), with Guidedbythescience suggested as back-up now she graduates from novice company.

Everyday Champagne, who would have gone very close on his handicap debut at Newcastle last time but for losing many lengths and considerable momentum with a blunder four out, catches the eye in division two (3.15).

Low-mileage nine-year-old Space Safari can take a step forward on only his third start over fences by landing the 3m handicap chase (3.50).
