UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

Alan King representative GIVING BACK won twice in bumpers and was pitched into a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree when last sighted. She is expected to know her job on her first outing over hurdles and shades the vote ahead of Bossiney Bay, who took a forward step when runner-up over 2m at Huntingdon last month. The consistent Jaunty Soria is respected, while Flat winner Nafaayes cannot be ruled out on her NH bow.
Prediction : 1st Giving Back 2nd Bossiney Bay 3rd Jaunty Soria

PILOT STATION was touched off by under a length over the extended 2m at Down Royal on Boxing Day on his final start for Pat Fahy and is one to monitor closely in the betting now debuting for Harry Whittington. Ballon Onabudget ran below his best on his handicap debut at Market Rasen but makes some appeal on his earlier near-miss at Ludlow. Jaytrack Parkhomes could improve for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Pilot Station 2nd Ballon Onabudget 3rd Jaytrack Parkhomes

Stop The World has been knocking on the door and has place claims if building on his Ayr third over the extended 3m last time. Of more interest, however, is HERE'S HERBIE, a triple course winner over the extended 2m2f who was outpaced over the extended 2m5f at Fontwell last time and is worth a try over this longer trip. Midnight Glory picked up minor money off this mark over 3m at Ayr last month and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Heres Herbie 2nd Stop The World 3rd Midnight Glory

Blue N Yellow took third on his first handicap start last month and warrants plenty of respect off 1lb lower, while C&D selling winner Dora's Field and Ginjo, who returned from a near three-year absence to finish third at Newton Abbot 17 days ago, are others to note. However, preference is for the top-rated GET WISHING, who was only beaten three lengths on his first outing post wind surgery (for the second time) over the extended 2m here in March and he now has talented conditional Harry Stock, the only jockey to win aboard the gelding, back on top.
Prediction : 1st Get Wishing 2nd Blue N Yellow 3rd Ginjo

DARCY WARD readily won a similar C&D event last time and a 5lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Triple Chief also has track-winning form under his belt and makes plenty of appeal lining up off the same mark as when runner-up on the last three occasions, while the consistent Briac shouldn't be too far away either.
Prediction : 1st Darcy Ward 2nd Triple Chief 3rd Briac

IN ARREARS won easily on her hunter chase debut in March and had excuses for a modest Ascot showing five weeks ago behind a good yardstick in the shape of Virak. She is clearly better than that, and looks poised to appreciate the return to a more stamina-sapping circuit. Emperor Renard was behind the selection in a point-to-point eight weeks ago, with Ballyvodock also arriving with plenty to find.
Prediction : 1st In Arrears 2nd Emperor Renard 3rd Ballyvodock

Story Of Friends was second here in this sphere in March and might be seen to better effect when sent hurdling over longer trips, while Foggy Creek represents powerful connections and would be of interest if market support arrived. Mario De Pail was third at Plumpton 50 days ago in a slightly disappointing effort, and this can go to newcomer RECTORY OAK. Colin Tizzard's charge cost 60,000 pounds as a store and is related to plenty of useful bumper types.
Prediction : 1st Rectory Oak 2nd Story Of Friends 3rd Mario De Pail
