UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

ARQALINA travelled well to score easily at Ffos Las three weeks ago and could follow up here in what looks to be a winnable race despite a 10lb rise. The seven-year-old looks open to greater improvement than most of these, although White Lilac is likely to have been freshened up following a 113-day break now dropping in class. Monet Moor and Hot Ryan can fight it out for third spot.
Prediction : 1st Arqalina 2nd Hot Ryan 3rd White Lilac

Geordie B won well at Lingfield when last seen against a runner-up who has won twice since and contested the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last week, while Jonjo O'Neill stable debutant Dontbitedabait needs a market check in the famous JP McManus colours. Preference, though, is for TIDAL FLOW, who should appreciate this step up in trip wearing first-time cheekpieces. Fourth behind the classy Emitom at Newbury 17 days ago, that rates as the best form on offer.
Prediction : 1st Tidal Flow 2nd Geordie B 3rd Dontbitedabait

DOLPHIN SQUARE won a point-to-point when last seen back in January and could make his stable debut for Philip Hobbs a winning one under David Maxwell. The five-year-old can account for Jog On, who has performed well in his career so far behind the likes of Lisnagar Oscar, and Saint De Vassy, who found handicap company too hot to handle at Carlisle recently but should appreciate this return to a maiden contest.
Prediction : 1st Dolphin Square 2nd Saint De Vassy 3rd Jog On

Barranco Valley needs a betting check back from an absence that stretches back to 2015, but he did show some ability four years ago and would be of interest here if fully fit for his return. Dostal Phil looked a bit quirky in the finish when second at Newbury a fortnight ago and the safest bet might be to go with FLY TO MARS, who stayed on well when fourth over C&D last time and has some nice form in the book behind the likes of Third Wind and Mister Fisher.
Prediction : 1st Fly To Mars 2nd Dostal Phil 3rd Barranco Valley

GREY ATLANTIC WAY weakened in the closing stages on his return from a break over 2m4f at Wincanton last time and is expected to appreciate the drop back in trip as he picked up minor money over 2m at Wexford on his preceding start in October. Master Majic could feasibly leave behind some moderate novice hurdle efforts now handicapping, while Get Wishing has undergone wind surgery since returning a beaten favourite at Ffos Las in January and is also worth considering.
Prediction : 1st Grey Atlantic Way 2nd Master Majic 3rd Get Wishing

KAVANAGHS CORNER kept on well to score over 2m3f here earlier in the month and a 6lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent him from mounting another bold bid. Bredon Hill Lad returned a wide-margin winner at Fontwell last time and could be a tactical danger to all from the front once more, though Hands Of Stone, a solid 2m second at Chepstow last month, is the one expected to put up most resistance.
Prediction : 1st Kavanaghs Corner 2nd Hands Of Stone 3rd Bredon Hill Lad

BILLY BRONCO took a step forward over the larger obstacles when winning over C&D earlier in the month and can strike again despite a 6lb rise from the handicapper. Moving In Style has won two of his last three starts and continues on an upward curve with the potential for more to come, while St Erney is considered on his handicap debut based on his third to Lil Rockerfeller here in November.
Prediction : 1st Billy Bronco 2nd Moving In Style 3rd St Erney

DIPLOMATE SIVOLA got up in the dying strides to win on his hunters' chase debut at Catterick earlier in the month and it would be a surprise were he unable to prove more dominant on this occasion considering the class edge he possesses over the opposition. In Arrears has been in good form in the pointing field and is respected along with Summons To Court, who makes her debut for Jimmy Frost.
Prediction : 1st Diplomate Sivola 2nd In Arrears 3rd Summons To Court
