UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

A match that represents the best opportunity MIGHT I has found to get his head back in front. The seven-year-old ran with credit to finish fourth in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival and made a pleasing enough start over fences against rivals who boasted more experience when runner-up at Newton Abbot. Bourbali was consistent in handicap hurdles last season and could have more to offer in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Might I 2nd Bourbali 3rd null

ELFRIDE was a winner at Uttoxeter on her penultimate start in May before unseating her rider at the same venue later that month. In a contest where most of her rivals have something to prove, the daughter of Black Sam Bellamy receives the tentative vote. Lady Wilberry was performing with credit over fences in the spring and commands respect, while Lucky So And So benefited from racing in the pointing field earlier in the year and is of interest back under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Elfride 2nd Lady Wilberry 3rd Lucky So And So

GIDLEIGH PARK made an impressive start to his career when landing a Chepstow bumper in March and the form has since been franked by the runner-up, who won both a bumper and a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in taking style. The five-year-old is expected to take high rank as a novice hurdler and this appears to be a nice starting point. Range performed with credit in a couple of bumpers last season, most notably when runner-up on debut at Chepstow, and he is respected along with Samazul, a winner at Southwell in December.
Prediction : 1st Gidleigh Park 2nd Range 3rd Samazul

King Turgeon found only a revitalised rival too strong on last month's seasonal return and he merits respect following a 4lb rise in the handicap, but preference is for LEISSIERES EXPRESS. Jeremy Scott's charge stayed on well over 2m4f at Wincanton 22 days ago, finishing second on his first start over fences, so today's step up in trip could see him in an even better light. Moorland Rambler is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Leissieres Express 2nd King Turgeon 3rd Moorland Rambler

Endless Supply (third) was no match for an impressive ALFIE'S PRINCESS (winner) when the pair met at Chepstow last time. The former, who produced a high level of form in bumpers last season, is fancied to uphold those placings, despite carrying a penalty, and maintain her unbeaten hurdles record. Queen Annie was also successful at the Welsh venue when last in action and must be considered now sent over timber.
Prediction : 1st Alfies Princess 2nd Endless Supply 3rd Queen Annie

Useful hurdler ARCLIGHT made the perfect start to life over fences when winning at Kempton last month, where she survived scare at the final obstacle. Nicky Henderson's charge ought to have learnt plenty from that, however, and a subsequent 8lb rise should not prevent her from mounting another stern challenge, with improvement on the cards. Lady Adare hit the woodwork in a Grade 2 at Wincanton nine days ago and she merits respect down in class, while others to note include Law Ella and Nurse Susan.
Prediction : 1st Arclight 2nd Lady Adare 3rd Law Ella

MAKIN'YOURMINDUP sets a good standard and, having landed a Grade 2 over hurdles at Haydock last season, he has to be rated as a serious player in this less exalted company on his chasing debut. Moon Hunter is feared most after posting a respectable effort over fences off 2lb higher at Cheltenham last month, while Storminhome is also open to any amount of improvement now he has some experience of the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Makinyourmindup 2nd Moon Hunter 3rd Storminhome

BOND BROKER was a comfortable winner of his sole start on the point-to-point scene and is an attractive proposition on his Rules debut now he is under the tutelage of champion trainer, Paul Nicholls. The gelding, whose dam won over both hurdles and fences, was snapped up for 80,000 pounds after that pointing success and is presented with a good opportunity to produce an immediate return on the investment. Hartington, Dunskay and Anno Power are other noteworthy debutants to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Bond Broker 2nd Hartington 3rd Dunskay
