UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

Tango Tara seems worthy of a market watch on his debut over fences for the Paul Nicholls yard, but this is his first run following wind surgery and over 20 months off the track. He might go well regardless, but HIGH GAME ROYAL is narrowly preferred for the stable which won this in 2020. Second and third on his two starts over fences, he can put that experience to good use with Callum Pritchard's 7lb claim a bonus. Royal Sam could be the surprise package.
Prediction : 1st High Game Royal 2nd Tango Tara 3rd Royal Sam

Chloe's Court has an excellent record here with two wins and two places from four starts. Feivel could go well if first-time blinkers bring about improvement, but LONGSHANKS is a fascinating contender. A winner over fences off a rating of 112 here in 2022, he has looked rejuvenated winning two point-to-points of late and everything points to a bold showing. Danton and Kimberley Eve are also worthy of serious consideration.
Prediction : 1st Longshanks 2nd Chloes Court 3rd Feivel

Royal Jewel made all and stayed on well to win over C&D last month at odds of 18/1 and he can go well once more. SUMMERLEAZE could be the one, though. She has performed well without success in point-to-points since her one bumper outing and may come out on top in a weak contest. Diamatiste may follow them home if he can improve on his first start since joining Kayley Woollacott.
Prediction : 1st Summerleaze 2nd Royal Jewel 3rd Diamatiste

PENTIRE HEAD posted a respectable second in an 18-runner affair at Wincanton last month and a similar bid may suffice. Paul Nicholls' charge should enjoy this slightly stiffer test and he edges the vote ahead of Iris Des Issards. The six-year-old offered a lot more to work with when runner-up here latest and he looks a potential improver over this longer distance. Geezer Rockstar and Blue Ridge Hill are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Pentire Head 2nd Iris Des Issards 3rd Geezer Rockstar

JOHNNY B appeared revitalised by a 393-day layoff when landing a competitive handicap hurdle at Wincanton last month. A return to chasing should prove no issue for Chris Down's charge and he's fancied to complete a double. Fellow last-time-out winner Sherborne is open to improvement now faced with a stiffer test of stamina and he isn't taken lightly, with Stellar Stream also making some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Johnny B 2nd Sherborne 3rd Stellar Stream

A taking winner over C&D last month, TIME TO BITE should have plenty more to come under similar conditions and a 9lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. Chris Honour's charge is preferred to fellow C&D winner Lightonthewing as well as Merry Monty, who was runner-up here last month over timber and has plenty of potential on his chase debut.
Prediction : 1st Time To Bite 2nd Merry Monty 3rd Lightonthewing

A brother to the high-class Envoi Allen, JOYAU ALLEN could be a decent prospect for the Paul Nicholls stable and this looks like an ideal opportunity in a race that the same connections won last year. Saint Anapolino wasn't disgraced in fifth on his Rules debut at Wincanton in November and there should be improvement to come, while newcomer Park And Ride is related to several winners.
Prediction : 1st Joyau Allen 2nd Saint Anapolino 3rd Park And Ride
