UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

CAT TIGER was entitled to need his return at Worcester on his first start since last November and the step back up in trip, combined with that effort under his belt, can see Paul Nicholls' gelding take a decent step forward. His stable companion Saint De Reve showed promise in bumpers last term and is respected, while Unwin Vc and Welsh Saint both enter calculations based on what they have achieved to date.
Prediction : 1st Cat Tiger 2nd Saint De Reve 3rd Unwin Vc

Eritage was racing keenly when stumbling just after the second flight on his hurdling debut at Wincanton, but his bumper form would entitle him to be very competitive providing he settles better. Sporting John cost 160,000 pounds and is from the family of Oscar Whisky, but the vote goes to HARRY SENIOR. Colin Tizzard's five-year-old shaped with a fair amount of promise when fourth behind a stable companion at Chepstow and appeals as being capable of taking a good step forward.
Prediction : 1st Harry Senior 2nd Eritage 3rd Sporting John

GOD'S OWN landed this prize for the second time in his career 12 months ago, following his success in 2014, and with Tom George enjoying a decent time of things with his stable stars over the past week, it suggests the veteran could have one more day in the sun. Destrier improved plenty in three chase starts last term and is open to further progression based on his third at Aintree, while the consistent Janika could have more to offer this season despite a lofty handicap mark.
Prediction : 1st Gods Own 2nd Destrier 3rd Janika

PADLEYOUROWNCANOE made a pleasing start to his chasing career over C&D when jumping soundly to score by three and a half lengths. While he is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of the yard's 2015 winner Native River, the son of Nayef has a future in this sphere and can put his experience to good use under a penalty. Boyhood may improve plenty from his Cheltenham outing as he wears blinkers for the first time, while Commodore Barry was a useful hurdler who could still prove better over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Padleyourowncanoe 2nd Boyhood 3rd Commodore Barry

Philip Hobbs took this 12 months ago and holds leading claims once again with FOR GOOD MEASURE, who took care of a useful cast to score at Warwick and the match-fit performer remains well treated seeking to follow up. Orchardstown Cross has thrived since joining Jeremy Scott and could pick up from where he left off last season, while C&D winner Perfect Candidate can confirm the form of his Chepstow reappearance with Dell Arca, with Fergal O'Brien's veteran nearly five lengths clear of his David Pipe-trained rival when fourth and fifth respectively.
Prediction : 1st For Good Measure 2nd Orchardstown Cross 3rd Perfect Candidate

GUARDIA TOP made it back-to-back easy victories when scoring at Chepstow last week and makes plenty of appeal once again in search of a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty. Glorious Boru was an encouraging second at Uttoxeter in May and is interesting returning off the same mark following wind surgery. Those Tiger Feet is also worth keeping an eye on on his handicap debut for a team in good form.
Prediction : 1st Guardia Top 2nd Glorious Boru 3rd Those Tiger Feet

SANDY BOY was less than a length away from a hat-trick when second at Chepstow last week and Philip Hobbs' in-form five-year-old will prove hard to beat off the same rating here. The extended distance could suit Heavey, who shaped nicely when third at Wincanton last month, while Crown Hill and Ballybough Nora were both winners when last seen and can't be ignored on their reappearances.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Boy 2nd Heavey 3rd Ballybough Nora
