UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

TOSS OF A COIN got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in the pointing sphere and appears to have been found a nice opportunity for his Rules debut. A full-brother to former Becher Chase winner Highland Lodge and Grade 2-winning hurdler Closing Ceremony, who both relished testing conditions, it would be no surprise to see him follow suit. Stable companion Kruger Park is entitled to build on what he has achieved to date over timber, while a wind operation might aid the cause of Jemura.
Prediction : 1st Toss Of A Coin 2nd Kruger Park 3rd Jemura

PERCY VEERING has returned to fences this season in the right manner, with victories at Warwick and Ffos Las, having failed to complete on both attempts last season. A 6lb rise for his most recent success is unlikely to inconvenience him as he continues to progress. Williamdeconqueror was just denied at Lingfield on his return to action and has to enter calculations, while chasing debutant Caeruleum is open to improvement following his recent spin at Wincanton.
Prediction : 1st Percy Veering 2nd Williamdeconqueror 3rd Caeruleum

DON'T TELL SU showed signs of greenness throughout the contest when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Chepstow and the five-year-old, who drops back in trip on this occasion, is expected to have learned plenty from that experience. Nordic Storm is an interesting newcomer who is from the family of former smart 2m chaser Kadarann, while Doyen Quest is capable of leaving behind his effort in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last month.
Prediction : 1st Dont Tell Su 2nd Nordic Storm 3rd Doyen Quest

SIR PSYCHO was quite taking when opening his account over fences on his stable bow at Ascot last month and Harry Derham's inmate is fancied to defy a 7lb rise in the ratings. Although Stormy Flight would make more appeal over further, he shouldn't be underestimated off a tumbling rating, while Honneur D'Ajonc races off his last winning mark and he is another to note for an in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Sir Psycho 2nd Stormy Flight 3rd Honneur DAjonc

LIBOR LAD was rewarded for his respectable runner-up efforts at Perth and Stratford when gaining a breakthrough victory at Uttoxeter. David Dennis' gelding won with enough in hand that day to suggest that a 6lb rise in the handicap is manageable so a double could be in the offing. Daany ran his best race to date when second at Wincanton recently and is feared most, ahead of Merry Monty.
Prediction : 1st Libor Lad 2nd Daany 3rd Merry Monty

There won't be many stiffer stamina tests than this all season and that should play into the hands of SILVER IN DISGUISE. A disqualified 'winner' of a marathon event at Chepstow in the past, the grey is best when the mud is flying and advertised his well-being with a strong third-place effort at Carlisle on his reappearance, only tiring late on. The progressive Lyrical Genius also shaped well on his return and has to be considered off bottom weight. Golden Sovereign has gone well fresh in the past and may throw up some value.
Prediction : 1st Silver In Disguise 2nd Lyrical Genius 3rd Golden Sovereign

It's likely that both Drumheller and Matthias will build on their encouraging debuts at Sandown and Uttoxeter respectively but it's still hard to get away from Paul Nicholls' 320,000-pounds newcomer QUEBECOIS. A half-brother to a host of winning jumpers - most notably the smart Brindisi Breeze - the gelding showed up well in a point-to-point in the spring and could prove a cut above on his Rules debut.
Prediction : 1st Quebecois 2nd Drumheller 3rd Matthias
