UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

A highly encouraging second on her hurdling debut at Chepstow, PURE THEATRE must hold every chance of getting off the mark with plenty of improvement expected. Better was expected of point-to-point winner Hey Day Baby on her Rules debut at Southwell but she could step forward, although Asian Spice may provide the chief threat after occupying the runner-up berth over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Pure Theatre 2nd Asian Spice 3rd Hey Day Baby

ANY BISCUITS got off the mark in comfortable fashion at Market Rasen last month and the form of that race has been well franked, with the second and third scoring since. As long as he handles the better ground, Harry Derham's charge should have too much for last-start Taunton runner-up Callisto's King, as well as Getaway Tom, who ran with credit on his handicap debut at Plumpton. Others to note include Dom Bosco, Kingfast and Professor Calculus.
Prediction : 1st Any Biscuits 2nd Callistos King 3rd Getaway Tom

GABRIEL'S GETAWAY has had an excellent beginning to his chasing career and going back up in trip should not inconvenience him as he attempts to bring up the hat-trick. Ground conditions are also in his favour and it may be too much of an ask for the veteran Paddy's Poem to beat this progressive type, despite a determined success at Plumpton last month. Rakhine State has yet to put it together over fences, but remains a capable sort.
Prediction : 1st Gabriels Getaway 2nd Paddys Poem 3rd Rakhine State

ROGER RAREBIT lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive White Rhino too good at Southwell in February and despite being 8lb higher in the handicap, Tom Lacey's gelding looks capable of more in this sphere. Barrowmount was running a much-improved race until hitting the deck at Taunton last month and a similar bid could see him involved. Puddlesinthepark may appreciate this return to quicker ground and is another who merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Roger Rarebit 2nd Barrowmount 3rd Puddlesinthepark

BEGIN THE LUCK came good at the second of time asking over fences at Newton Abbot recently and he could make light work of a 4lb rise. Poet's Reflection offered something to work with when runner-up on her first attempt at the larger obstacles at Taunton and Linda Blackford's mare is feared most. Chase debutant Greatest Star will need to jump with more fluency in order to succeed in this sphere, but he arrives in fair form and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Begin The Luck 2nd Poets Reflection 3rd Greatest Star

Dean Summersby and Darren Edwards teamed up to win this last year and are fancied to do so once again with LIBERTY ROCK. A three-time winner in the point-to-point sphere, the seven-year-old should have no issues with the forecast ground conditions and looks to hold every chance for his local trainer. Stablemate Honest Opinion merits the utmost respect, as does Quintin's Man, who arrives in good heart having landed back-to-back successes between the flags recently.
Prediction : 1st Liberty Rock 2nd Honest Opinion 3rd Quintins Man

SUPREMELY WEST supplemented his Tramore success when winning under a penalty on his UK debut at Huntingdon. The second, who won subsequently before running with credit in a Grade 2 at Aintree, would suggest Richard Newland's charge is capable of bringing up his hat-trick. Luke Scott claims a handy 7lb this time around and that ought to further aid his chances. Point-to-point winner Vision De Maine merits respect on his racecourse debut, while others to note include I'm Ravenous and The Midwife.
Prediction : 1st Supremely West 2nd Vision De Maine 3rd Im Ravenous
