Ian Duncan at Hexham — Record, Stats & Runners

Ian Duncan's approach to Hexham is generally to send horses that possess plenty of stamina and handle softer ground, which is often prevalent at the track. His runners are frequently seen contesting handicap hurdles and chases over intermediate to longer distances (typically 2m4f to 3m+). He tends to favour the autumn and early spring meetings when the ground has more cut, playing to the strengths of his stayers. You'll rarely see him with a flying novice hurdler over minimum trips here; instead, look for experienced handicappers stepping up in trip or those showing solid form over similar undulating tracks. His horses are usually fit and ready for the challenge, often having had a run or two elsewhere to sharpen them up before tackling Hexham's demanding circuit.
