UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

MASTER TOMMYTUCKER appeared to be enjoying himself at the head of affairs when crashing out of the Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day. It was his second fall from three chase starts but his jumping had been fine up to that point and while he has clearly had his issues, he remains a smart prospect. Tidal Flow has taken well to fences and his official rating is only 2lb lower than the selection's. Ready And Able will win plenty more races but perhaps lacks the quality of the main pair.
Prediction : 1st Master Tommytucker 2nd Tidal Flow 3rd Ready And Able

After a bit of a ropey beginning to his jumping career, ERITAGE has started to get his act together and found only one too strong when attempting to complete a double over Taunton's extended 2m. The extra distance is expected to suit and he can account for Igor, who hasn't really fulfilled the promise of November's Ascot win, in a Cheltenham Grade 2 and a Pertemps qualifier at Warwick. Colin Tizzard forked out 45,000 pounds for Honest Exchange following a point-to-point victory, and he is worth a glance in the market.
Prediction : 1st Eritage 2nd Igor 3rd Honest Exchange

Palmers Hill currently trades as low as 16/1 for the Final of this at the Festival but he hasn't been seen since winning at Cheltenham in November 2018. This will bring him on, as well as getting him qualified, so he is passed over in favour of BURROWS PARK, who finished a creditable fourth in the Lanzarote and handles testing conditions well. Flemcara won this race when it was rescheduled last year but has struggled subsequently.
Prediction : 1st Burrows Park 2nd Palmers Hill 3rd Flemcara

It could pay to side with 13-year-old PERFECT CANDIDATE, who won this race in 2017 off a 15lb higher mark. Win and placed efforts at Haydock before the turn of the year show Fergal O'Brien's charge to be arriving in cracking form and this is likely to have been the plan for some time. Sametegal has performed well in both starts so far this season, the latest off today's mark at Kempton, and he is likely to give another good account, while Le Rocher cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Candidate 2nd Sametegal 3rd Le Rocher

With Sporting John's, Master Debonair's and Sir Psycho's participation in doubt (all declared to run on Saturday), it might be best focusing on KID COMMANDO. A high-class bumper performer, he made a smooth transition to hurdles when bolting up at Plumpton and forecast soft conditions won't bother him. Cat Tiger is a course winner and struck twice at Plumpton last month. He should give another good account, while Panatos seemingly has it all to do.
Prediction : 1st Kid Commando 2nd Cat Tiger 3rd Panatos

Although ATLANTA ABLAZE's profile is anything but consistent, she is taken to follow up her victory in this race 12 months ago. The nine-year-old's Listed success two starts ago shows that the ability is still very much there and she has undergone wind surgery since disappointing at Aintree last time. Midnight Tune also ran well below expectations latest but could bounce back with cheekpieces fitted, while The Bay Birch is best treated at these weights.
Prediction : 1st Atlanta Ablaze 2nd Midnight Tune 3rd The Bay Birch

ADRIMEL was bought for 280,000 pounds shortly after winning his point-to-point at Ballyarthur last March and he couldn't have been any more impressive when making a winning NH debut in a Uttoxeter bumper two months ago. There should be plenty more to come from Tom Lacey's exciting five-year-old and he gets the vote to follow up. One True King's profile isn't too dissimilar and the Ludlow scorer must enter calculations, while Sheldon, Time To Tinker and Mocacreme Has add further spice to what could turn out to be a cracking race.
Prediction : 1st Adrimel 2nd One True King 3rd Sheldon
