3
1st (3) Deafening Silence (4/1 -20%)
Deafening Silence

4
4/1(-20%)
(3) Deafening Silence 4/1, Successful on last (only completed) of 3 starts in points (Dec 2021) and produced a promising first effort over hurdles when a close third of 13 in novice at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 12 months ago, noted doing his best work late on. In top hands and sure to improve now upped in trip.
Point winner; ran well in his 2m novice and this new trip looks a major plus for him.
6
2nd (6) Wrappedupinmay (8/13 +23%)
Wrappedupinmay

0.615385
8/13(+23%)
(6) Wrappedupinmay 8/13, Wide-margin winner of sole point and came home in splendid isolation in bumper here (heavy) on Rules debut. Turned over at short odds at Sandown next time but shaped well sent hurdling after 8 months off when runner-up at Ffos Las (21.9f, good to soft) last month. Major player.
Point/bumper winner; retains significant potential despite two odds-on defeats.
1
3rd (1) Astronomic View (12/1 +14%)
Astronomic View

12
12/1(+14%)
(1) Astronomic View 12/1, Fairly-useful bumper winner who offered plenty to work on when third of 6 on 2m Ffos Las hurdle debut last November. Strong in the betting but failed to progress when mid-field at Newton Abbot 6 months later and has a similar length of absence to overcome here.
Useful in bumpers; returning to a stiffer track on softer ground is favourable.
2
4th (2) Beachcomber (14/1 -56%)
Beachcomber

14
14/1(-56%)
(2) Beachcomber 14/1, Looked useful when winning easily at Chepstow on his second of 3 bumper starts last season. Off 7 months, shaped as if better for the run when 10 lengths fifth on his 2½m Worcester hurdle debut in September and can have his latest effort at Kempton excused (rider lost irons early).
Impressive bumper winner; short in the betting when departing early at Kempton latest.
4
5th (4) Law Of Supply (6/1 +8%)
Law Of Supply

6
6/1(+8%)
(4) Law Of Supply 6/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Oct 2022) and was very green but was definitely getting the idea late on when fourth in a Chepstow bumper (16f, good to soft) 7 months ago, rallying well approaching final 1f. Respected on hurdles bow for his in-form yard.
Point winner; 4th in his bumper and wouldn't have been seen to best effect there.
5
|PU| (5) Mad Mike (50/1 -257%)
Mad Mike

50
50/1(-257%)
(5) Mad Mike 50/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when fifth of 6 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on debut 6 months ago. Yard been amongst the winners of late so he would be folly to discount on hurdling debut.
In need of the experience when fifth of the six runners in a Wincanton bumper in April.
LTO Selection:

12:35 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Although WRAPPEDUPINMAY was unable to justify short odds when runner-up on his hurdles debut at Ffos Las last month, Paul Nicholls' charge still ran to a fair level and any improvement could see him go one place better. Deafening Silence offered plenty to work with when a never-nearer third on his opening hurdles bid over 2m at Chepstow October 2022 and the six-year-old is feared most, ahead of Astronomic View, who is another potential improver upped in trip.

Cases can be made for most of these, but preference is for WRAPPEDUPINMAY, who shaped well sent hurdling after 8 months off when runner-up at Ffos Las recently (front pair clear) and can go a place better now. Deafening Silence was beaten less than a length when third on hurdling bow 12 months ago so he may emerge as the main danger, with Law of Supply taken to fill third place.

Although turned over at odds-on the last twice, WRAPPEDUPINMAY probably bumped into a smart one on his hurdling debut.

Chloe's Court

14
14/1(-75%)
(4) Chloe's Court 14/1, Fair hurdler who was right back on track to score at Chepstow 6 months ago but the chances are that she'll need this return.
A winner in April but profile is patchy and record fresh is none too inspiring.
7
2nd (7) Little Else (10/3 +26%)
Little Else

3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(7) Little Else 10/3, Bumper winner at Chepstow in December 2020. Lightly raced over hurdles but on the up now, scoring at Newton Abbot on reappearance. Solid claims in the hat-trick bid.
Has won both her races following wind surgery by neck margins (3m, soft; 2m5f, heavy).
5
3rd (5) Cast's Tasha (5/1 +29%)
Cast's Tasha

5
5/1(+29%)
(5) Cast's Tasha 5/1, Reliable type who opened her account in this sphere at Chepstow 6 months ago. Should be on the premises again if she's tuned up.
A winner last time out; remains lightly raced and she's had wind surgery.
2
4th (2) Jersey Lady (5/2 +17%)
Jersey Lady

2.5
5/2(+17%)
(2) Jersey Lady 5/2, Consistent sort who landed a hat-trick under this jockey earlier in the year, last seen scoring with something to spare at Fontwell. Merits plenty of respect for new trainer.
Didn't win any of her last three races by far and only seems to do enough.
3
5th (3) Ma Belle Noire (10/3 -33%)
Ma Belle Noire

3.333333
10/3(-33%)
(3) Ma Belle Noire 10/3, In top form lately and made it 3 from her last 4 at Worcester last time. May be capable of better still in current mood, so looks the one to beat.
Not looked back since the blinkers went on and there could be further improvement to come.
8
6th (8) Caitlin's Court (7/1 +13%)
Caitlin's Court

7
7/1(+13%)
(8) Caitlin's Court 7/1, Improved effort over hurdles when returning from 5 months off to win over 18.5f at Newton Abbot in May and resumed progress when second there last time. Others look better treated but she should give a good account.
Capable mare but can be very keen and this stiff track could find her out.
1
7th (1) Chabadatika (66/1 -313%)
Chabadatika

66
66/1(-313%)
(1) Chabadatika 66/1, 25/1, won 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (16.9f, soft). Off 11 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving M. Seror. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Difficult ask.
The form of her French win is nothing to shout about; probably on a tough mark.
LTO Selection:

13:10 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JERSEY LADY only seemed to just do enough in her three victories earlier in the year and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from completing a four-timer. The hat-trick seeking Ma Belle Noire is sure to prove popular too and Harry Fry's mare is expected to pose the biggest threat. Fellow last-time-out winner Chloe's Court also makes some appeal given her record at this venue.

This looks an above-average contest with a number of last-time-out winners in the field, but the pick of them is probably MA BELLE NOIRE, who produced another career best at Worcester last time. Jersey Lady and Little Else both arrive on a winning streak, so they're feared.

Life is about to get harder for a few of these off their new marks but MA BELLE NOIRE hasn't looked back since the blinkers went on.

(5) Insurrection 11/4, Winning Irish pointer. 3/1 and tongue strap on when encouraging fourth of 8 in bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Had wind op ahead of his hurdles debut. Much respected.
Impressed in his point; choked when 4th in a bumper and had wind surgery since.

Diamond Ri

(3) Diamond Ri Evens, Produced a useful effort when easily landing a well-run Warwick bumper on debut in March and is of firm interest now hurdling.
Sauntered home in a Warwick bumper and there's some substance to that form.
1
3rd (1) Asta La Pasta (3/1 -50%)
Asta La Pasta

3
3/1(-50%)
(1) Asta La Pasta 3/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 6-runner bumper at Market Rasen in February and impressed with how readily he picked up the promising runner-up from the last when following up on his Uttoxeter hurdles debut 8 months later. Sure to progress and win more races.
The horse he beat at Uttoxeter ran well last weekend; respected despite the penalty.

100
100/1(-203%)
(6) Iris Des Issards 100/1, €28,000 3-y-o, £14,000 5-y-o, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam 17f-2½m chase winner. Twice third in points so not discounted starting out over hurdles.
Wouldn't be the obvious answer after what he showed in Irish points.
9
5th (9) Royal Jewel (18/1 -80%)
Royal Jewel

18
18/1(-80%)
(9) Royal Jewel 18/1, €25,000 3-y-o, £40,000 4-y-o, Notnowcato gelding. Dam (c99/h114) 21f hurdle winner. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 30) so a respected hurdling debutant.
Just missed out in his second Irish point but that form could be working out better.
4
6th (4) I Love You Sivola (150/1 -200%)
I Love You Sivola

150
150/1(-200%)
(4) I Love You Sivola 150/1, Fair ex-French chaser. Off 6 months and faces no easy task back over hurdles for his new yard. Wears tongue strap.
Only 1-23 when trained in France and his sole success came over fences last December.
8
7th (8) Midnight Soldier (17/2 -6%)
Midnight Soldier

8.5
17/2(-6%)
(8) Midnight Soldier 17/2, Made a winning bumper debut in good style at Fontwell in June 2021 for Christian Williams. Encouraging second of 6 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 174 days ago. Considered.
Modest bumper winner; remote second on switch to hurdling after an absence.
10
8th (10) Storming Nelson (200/1 -203%)
Storming Nelson

200
200/1(-203%)
(10) Storming Nelson 200/1, €31,000 3-y-o, £5,000 4-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam (c118/h110), 2m-19f hurdle/chase winner, sister to very smart hurdler/smart chase winner (stays 25f) Thyme Hill. Unplaced on his completed starts in Irish points (latest May 13). More needed in this sphere.
Beaten 20l+ in his completed points and difficult to make much of a case here.
15
9th (15) Spinnaker Blue (200/1 -900%)
Spinnaker Blue

200
200/1(-900%)
(15) Spinnaker Blue 200/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but she came in a remote sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, heavy, 7/1) on NH debut 20 days ago. In excellent hands so may still do better.
Half-sister to three winners but didn't show a lot in a novice at Newton Abbot (heavy).
12

Fox Wallace

250

(12) Fox Wallace 250/1, Unseated rider sole start in Irish points and only eighth of 9 in bumper (33/1) at Newton Abbot (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 20 days ago. More required on her hurdles debut.
33-1 when beaten a long way on heavy ground at Newton Abbot (bumper).

Tailed off in two maiden hurdles last season when sent off at lengthy odds.
7
12th (7) Irlandais (300/1 -355%)
Irlandais

300
300/1(-355%)
(7) Irlandais 300/1, Half-brother to bumper winner/useful 2¼m hurdle winner Grand Jury but has not offered much in two runs over hurdles for Dan Skelton and for his current yard.
66-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Wincanton three weeks ago.
11
|PU| (11) Breccia (50/1 -25%)
Breccia

50
50/1(-25%)
(11) Breccia 50/1, Fair winner at 17f on Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling when third of 8 in novice at Exeter (16.7f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago. Below that form when seventh at Ludlow since so needs to bounce back.
Doesn't look up to winning a novice hurdle judged on her initial attempts.
14
|PU| (14) Mollie De Mai (200/1 -300%)
Mollie De Mai

200
200/1(-300%)
(14) Mollie De Mai 200/1, 16/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.
Always out the back and was finally pulled up in a maiden at Wincanton 12 days ago (16-1).
13
|PU| (13) Gorcombe Fizz (300/1 -200%)
Gorcombe Fizz

300
300/1(-200%)
(13) Gorcombe Fizz 300/1, 50/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) on NH debut 29 days ago.
Jumped moderately before pulling up in a fast-ground maiden here a month ago (50-1).
LTO Selection:

13:45 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Asta La Pasta justified strong market support when landing the spoils on his hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month and another bold bid is anticipated from the five-year-old. However, Dan Skelton's charge might be worth taking on now shouldering a 6lb penalty, with DIAMOND RI making most appeal. The gelding was most impressive when romping home on his bumper debut at Warwick in March and he could take all the beating if proving as effective in this sphere. Insurrection and Midnight Soldier may fare best of the remainder.

A few of these offer potential but ASTA LA PASTA created an excellent impression when going in at Uttoxeter on his hurdles debut so looks the way to go despite conceding weight all round. Hurdling newcomers Diamond Ri and Insurrection both command plenty of respect though, especially if the betting vibes are positive. Midnight Soldier is another who needs factoring in.

1st (10) Asian Spice (28/1 -75%)
Asian Spice

28
28/1(-75%)
(10) Asian Spice 28/1, Poor in bumpers and while she was second on hurdles debut over C&D in March, that was in a 4-runner race in which 3 completed. Safely both starts since but, on the upside, she now makes her handicap debut on a lowly mark.
Lightly raced but there's no evidence to suggest this initial mark is at all lenient.
2
2nd (2) Danton (8/1 -33%)
Danton

8
8/1(-33%)
(2) Danton 8/1, Promising type who showed promise when placed in back-to-back Taunton maiden hurdles (both over 16.5f on soft/good respectively) last season. Handed a fair mark for this handicap debut and improvement may well be forthcoming. Tongue strap applied.
Lightly raced; tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut and must be shortlisted.
6
3rd (6) Imperial Measure (9/2 -29%)
Imperial Measure

4.5
9/2(-29%)
(6) Imperial Measure 9/2, Better signs since switched to handicaps and got the job done, seemingly with a fair bit left up his sleeve, in a 5-runner contest at Newton Abbot (16.8f, heavy) last time. 4 lb rise could have been worse and he has to enter calculations.
Good value for his winning margin at Newton Abbot and has only gone up 4lb.
11

Little Pi

(11) Little Pi 33/1, No show in a bumper and 3 novice hurdles to date. By no means impossible that he'll improve now pitched into a handicap, but he'll certainly need to if he's to have a say in the finish.
Some light at the end of the tunnel when beaten 32l in his latest novice.
12
5th (12) Major Fortune (6/4 +57%)
Major Fortune

1.5
6/4(+57%)
(12) Major Fortune 6/4, Placed both starts in bumpers and, though beaten a fair way both hurdles starts for Tom Lacey last term, there were more encouraging signs when fourth of 8 in Bangor maiden (16.7f, soft) on return/debut for new yard last month. Likely improver now handicapping.
Modest so far but disappointing should he not show more off this low a mark.
16
6th (16) Daany (20/1 +39%)
Daany

20
20/1(+39%)
(16) Daany 20/1, Modest 1m winner on Flat and put in a decent shift on latest start in that sphere at Windsor last month. However, he's hard to enthuse over judged on what he's shown in 7 hurdles starts to date.
Placed on Flat last month; last season's hurdling efforts were thoroughly underwhelming.
13
7th (13) Only Fools (14/1 -75%)
Only Fools

14
14/1(-75%)
(13) Only Fools 14/1, Fair Flat winner in France and hit the crossbar in handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot and Worcester in May/June. Has held form since, but now 0-9 in this sphere and again looks vulnerable from a win point of view.
0-9 over hurdles but she hasn't been beaten that far in any of her handicaps.
14
8th (14) Loudspeaker (33/1 -65%)
Loudspeaker

33
33/1(-65%)
(14) Loudspeaker 33/1, Fair middle-distance maiden on Flat and bought from Michael Bell's yard for 50,000 gns in July. Failed to threaten in 5 starts switched to hurdles last season, but there was promise in his recent run on the Flat and he's worth a second look off a lowly mark.
Best efforts on the Flat; achieved nothing in two soft-ground handicap hurdles last season.
9
9th (9) Rollo's Kingdom (28/1 +15%)
Rollo's Kingdom

28
28/1(+15%)
(9) Rollo's Kingdom 28/1, Showed a bit on the first of 2 bumper runs, but it's hard to draw any positive from his efforts over hurdles thus far, most recently pulled up on his handicap debut at Stratford in April.
Went off 20-1 for his handicap debut at Stratford in April and showed very little.
15
|F| (15) Grumpy Rosie (28/1 -12%)
Grumpy Rosie

28
28/1(-12%)
(15) Grumpy Rosie 28/1, Showed a bit when a well-held second in a bumper here on debut in January, but subsequent efforts over hurdles have left much to be desired. Needs to improve significantly now handicapping.
Entitled to show more now handicapping off a basement mark but hard to be confident.
4
10th (4) Miss Marette (20/1 -186%)
Miss Marette

20
20/1(-186%)
(4) Miss Marette 20/1, Was entering 'longstanding maiden' territory prior to belatedly opening her account back from 12 months off in a C&D novice 29 days ago. Benefited from an enterprising ride on that occasion, though, and things are unlikely to pan out so favourably in this big-field handicap.
Won a fast-ground maiden last month; best RPR came on soft in a bumper.
7

Prince Rhinegold

50

(7) Prince Rhinegold 50/1, Hinted at promise on hurdling bow over C&D last November and back on track when landing a weak novice back here in February. His race came to a premature end on subsequent handicap debut, so hard to draw any conclusions from that, but the percentage call is to take him on.
Won a weak novice here; bit to prove off this mark and on ground this soft.
17

Tailed off in this headgear combination at Chepstow and had wind surgery since.
3
13th (3) Royal Juniper (100/1 -400%)
Royal Juniper

100

(3) Royal Juniper 100/1, Off the mark in a Wexford handicap chase (2m, heavy) for previous connections in August. However, added to what is a distinctly patchy profile when pulled up at Killarney later that month, and he's opposable starting out over hurdles for new yard here.
Sold on for £3,000 despite a recent chase win in Ireland; unraced over hurdles.
1
14th (1) Filanderer (7/1 -17%)
Filanderer

7
7/1(-17%)
(1) Filanderer 7/1, Warwick bumper winner who has made the frame in 2 of his 3 starts since switched to handicaps, fourth of 10 at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft) when last seen in April. Resumes on a 2 lb lower mark and could have a part to play, provided he settles better than has often been the case.
Only 7l away last time at Ffos Las and dropped another 2lb since then.
5
15th (5) Arthalot (7/1 +50%)
Arthalot

7
7/1(+50%)
(5) Arthalot 7/1, Fair on the Flat and bettered previous efforts in this sphere when fifth in a 12-runner handicap at this course (21.6f, soft) during the spring. Spin on the Flat last month will ensure that he's not found wanting fitness-wise and not without each-way hope.
Kept on to be nearest at the finish over 2m5f here in April; probably wants further.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Imperial Measure successfully justified favouritism by just over two lengths in heavy conditions at Newton Abbot last time and he will be hard to keep out of contention off a 4lb higher rating. However, preference is for FILANDERER, who has dropped to an appealing mark after finishing fourth at Fontwell when last seen in May. The son of Kayf Tara has David Bass booked and can make a winning return to action. Miss Marette completes the shortlist.

There were more than enough positives to take from MAJOR FORTUNE's reappearance fourth on debut for Dan Skelton in a Bangor maiden to suggest that he will be seriously competitive now handicapping off what could turn out to be a handy opening mark. He gets the nod ahead of another likely improver in Danton and Imperial Measure, who did the job well at Newton Abbot last time. Arthalot and Filanderer are others to consider.

Stay Away Fay

0.833333
5/6(-34%)
(4) Stay Away Fay 5/6, Irish point winner who was a useful novice hurdler last term, landing Grade 1 Albert Bartlett in gutsy fashion at the Festival in March. Ran another solid race when fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree on final start and he's a most exciting chase debutant.

Grade 2 winner over hurdles; promising chaser and stable has a good record in this novice.

22
22/1(+0%)
(1) Ballydesmond 22/1, Point winner who ran out the decisive winner of a Down Royal maiden hunter (23.2f, good to soft) on Rules debut in May for Caroline McCaldin. Likely to make his mark in the novice division this season, but this looks a tough enough assignment on debut for new yard conceding weight all round.
Beat a multiple point winner by some 9l in a maiden hunter chase at Down Royal in May.

Didn't hang about over hurdles despite winning; impressive winner of only point.

14:55 Exeter Maiden Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Last season's Albert Bartlett winner STAY AWAY FAY makes his chase debut for the Paul Nicholls stable and he has plenty in hand according to official ratings. The main danger is Grey Dawning, who took the Grade 2 Leamington Novices' Hurdle at Warwick in January and he has to be considered on his first chase start. The Changing Man is another to note in a fascinating contest.

This may well concern graded novice hurdle winners STAY AWAY FAY and Grey Dawning. The latter was a gutsy winner of the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham before a solid fourth in the Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree in April and gets the vote. The Changing Man may do best of the others.

All five are exciting but STAY AWAY FAY had the highest honours over hurdles and he's reported to have schooled like a dream.

Elixir De Nutz

6.5
13/2(-30%)
(5) Elixir De Nutz 13/2, Upped his form again over fences last season, scoring at Wincanton in January before good runner-up efforts in Game Spirit at Newbury and good handicap at Ayr. Shaped much more encouragingly than the bare result suggests at Chepstow on return so not taken lightly.

2nd (2) Solo (11/4 -10%)
Solo

2.75
11/4(-10%)
(2) Solo 11/4, Looked as good as ever when landing the Pendil at Kempton in February, albeit having the run of things. Ran poorly in Oaksey Chase at Sandown final start but has good record fresh so expected to bounce back for a yard that has won this race a record 8 times.
6
3rd (6) War Lord (15/2 -50%)
War Lord

7.5
15/2(-50%)
(6) War Lord 15/2, Smart novice chaser in 2021/22, but last season didn't go to plan. Has since undergone a breathing operation but career best probably required from 5 lb out of the weights on return.
4
4th (4) Indiana Jones (4/1 +38%)
Indiana Jones

4
4/1(+38%)
(4) Indiana Jones 4/1, Seems to have put his jumping issues behind him and picked up a couple of novice chase wins last season, notably a Grade 3 at Navan (2m) in March. Shaped as if needing the run at Cork last month and better expected now for yard that won the Charlie Hall at Wetherby on Saturday.

5th (1) Editeur Du Gite (8/1 -45%)
Editeur Du Gite

8
8/1(-45%)
(1) Editeur Du Gite 8/1, Took his form to a new level last term, landing Grade 2 Desert Orchid at Kempton prior to edging out Edwardstone in rescheduled Clarence House at Cheltenham (16.3f) in January. Not in same form in Champion Chase/Celebration Chase last 2 starts but could well bounce back dropped in class on return.

6th (3) Brave Seasca (11/4 +17%)
Brave Seasca

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(3) Brave Seasca 11/4, Career best when easily winning 2½m handicap chase at Aintree on last season's return. Well held next 3 starts but subsequently had a breathing operation and first-time up may be the time to catch him.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 1) 18f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

EDITEUR DU GITE has lot of weight to carry but he brings some top-class form to the table, such as his victory in the Clarence House at Cheltenham in January. The son of Saddex will most likely be aimed at the Champion Chase again this season and he could stake his claim by taking this contest. Solo is an interesting proposition dropping back to this distance for the first time in a while and it would be no surprise to see him figure. Of the remainder, Indiana Jones makes the most appeal.

A very competitive renewal with narrow preference for SOLO, who has a good record fresh and represents a stable that has won this race a record 8 times. Indiana Jones and Elixir de Nutz both have the advantage of a recent run so are feared most.

A disappointing latest season sees WAR LORD (nap) on a tempting mark if he can tap back into the high-class form he showed as a novice.

Make Me A Believer

10
10/1(+17%)
(8) Make Me A Believer 10/1, Bumper/novice hurdle winner. Unable to make a significant impact in handicap chases last winter but it's still fairly early days and it's possible a wind op since last seen will have had a positive effect.
Last term's first chase campaign not devoid of promise; may yet have improvement to come.
10

My Silver Lining

3.5
7/2(+40%)
(10) My Silver Lining 7/2, Made it 3 wins in her last 4 starts when seeing off 6 rivals at Wincanton (25f) on reappearance 3 weeks ago. She did that readily but it was an uncompetitive race and more will be needed off 7 lb higher in a deeper affair.
3 wins from last 4 starts and latest 7lb rise may not stop this highly progressive mare.
5
3rd (5) Broomfield Present (7/2 +50%)
Broomfield Present

3.5
7/2(+50%)
(5) Broomfield Present 7/2, Useful hurdler last season, winning a Ffos Las maiden and 3m Haydock handicap from only 3 starts. Returns with his yard in form and his point background suggests he could do even better over fences. Very interesting runner.
2-3 over hurdles and this lightly raced point winner could have more to offer now chasing.
7
4th (7) Run To Milan (11/1 -10%)
Run To Milan

11
11/1(-10%)
(7) Run To Milan 11/1, Former C&D winner. Showed he's still capable of quite useful form when placed 3 times last season but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to younger legs in this line-up on his first outing for 7 months.
11yo who makes reappearance but this is his favourite course and he's one to consider.
1
5th (1) Collectors Item (7/1 -8%)
Collectors Item

7
7/1(-8%)
(1) Collectors Item 7/1, Dual novice hurdle winner last season. Also good third in 23f Uttoxeter handicap on final start. Presumably needed the run when a remote last of 4 in 19.5f Chepstow listed novice chase on reappearance and could prove a different proposition now.
Grade 2 novice hurdle second in February; tailed off on chase debut but retains potential.
3
6th (3) Hidden Heroics (20/1 -100%)
Hidden Heroics

20
20/1(-100%)
(3) Hidden Heroics 20/1, C&D winner on chase debut a year ago and followed up in a small field at Cheltenham next time. Subsequent efforts have been disappointing, though, including pulling up back at Cheltenham last month. Bounce back needed.
Promising start to chasing career in late 2022; has struggled to get competitive this year.
12
7th (12) Iberio (7/2 +46%)
Iberio

3.5
7/2(+46%)
(12) Iberio 7/2, Bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles at Taunton (3m, heavy) in March. Creditable fourth on his C&D chase debut/reappearance, although he didn't look entirely straightforward (hung left).
Promising chase debut over C&D and strongly respected for stable with good record in race.
9
8th (9) Foxboro (33/1 -83%)
Foxboro

33
33/1(-83%)
(9) Foxboro 33/1, Struck twice last season but looked rusty when a well-held seventh on his Chepstow reappearance 10 days ago. Stamina not assured either.
Soundly beaten on reappearance but same happened last season before a win next time.
4
9th (4) Ask Me Early (12/1 -60%)
Ask Me Early

12
12/1(-60%)
(4) Ask Me Early 12/1, Progressive novice chaser in 2020/21 and also scored twice over hurdles in late 2021. Didn't go on from a promising reappearance third last season but capable when fresh and on a dangerous mark if staging a revival.
His only good run last season came on reappearance; first time up may be time to catch him.
2
10th (2) Notachance (22/1 -238%)
Notachance

22
22/1(-238%)
(2) Notachance 22/1, Not quite the force of old but largely acquitted himself well last term, culminating with third of 17 in Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter in March. Contender if primed for this reappearance.
3rd in 2 marathon h'caps early this year; may be of greater interest when back up in trip.

Le Cameleon

40/1(-122%)
(6) Le Cameleon 40/1, Returned to form to win a 3m Ludlow handicap in March. Ended last season with a couple of creditable third places but he was a long way below form when a distant fourth on his Ludlow reappearance a month ago.
Tailed off on reappearance but may have needed it and is back down to last winning mark.
13
|PU| (13) Coral (66/1 -267%)
Coral

66
66/1(-267%)
(13) Coral 66/1, Won over fences at Worcester in autumn 2021 but absent since finishing fourth there in July 2022 (final start for Fergal O'Brien). Given a chance by the handicapper but watching brief is the percentage call after such a lengthy absence.
Below par on final two runs for Fergal O'Brien and may not want slow ground nowadays.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

The Kim Bailey stable has started this season in a rich vein of form and BROOMFIELD PRESENT, a winner of two of his three starts over hurdles, looks just the type to excel over the larger obstacles. The seven-year-old may be stepping up in grade but has conditions in his favour and is preferred to the likes of the Midlands Grand National third Notachance, as well as Iberio, who ran a promising race on his chase debut over C&D last month. Ask Me Early and Collectors Item have the form to get involved as well.

Although BROOMFIELD PRESENT lacks experience for a race like this his yard is in good form and a point win at the start of his career provides plenty of hope that he can translate his useful hurdle ability to fences. Collectors Item has the potential to leave his Chepstow chase debut behind and is second choice ahead of Ask Me Early, who has a decent record fresh and has been given a chance by the handicapper.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
