UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

A switch back to going right-handed should play to TRELAWNE's strengths given he hung right throughout in the Towton Novices' Chase at Wetherby on his most recent outing. The eight-year-old is clearly a talented chaser and he should have too much for Grade 1 winner (hurdles) Tahmuras, who did it well when scoring at Aintree in December. Crebilly has just over two lengths to find with the selection from their meeting at Cheltenham.
Prediction : 1st Trelawne 2nd Tahmuras 3rd Crebilly

LOWRY'S BAR hasn't put a foot wrong this season and this is another step up the ladder as he looks to bring up the five-timer for his in-form connections. The slight drop in trip should not inconvenience him, with the progressive Josh The Boss looking best placed to chase him home if he's none the worse for his unseat in Grade 2 company at Sandown. A promising third on his hurdling debut behind a talented sort of Ben Pauling's, Home Free is open to improvement and can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Lowrys Bar 2nd Josh The Boss 3rd Home Free

This can go the way of FAVOUR AND FORTUNE, who ran an excellent race when only collared late in the piece in a Grade 1 at Aintree on Boxing Day. Alan King's charge is proven under these conditions, which bodes well ahead of a clash with Irish raider Fun Fun Fun, who may well be unbeaten in this sphere but for a costly mistake at the last at Thurles. Lookaway is a key player if turning up here instead of the Betfair Hurdle, while Insurrection has the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Favour And Fortune 2nd Fun Fun Fun 3rd Insurrection

GOWEL ROAD produced an encouraging display when finishing third in this grade at Lingfield last month and he remains on the same mark. The son of Flemensfirth is still relatively lightly raced for his age and goes in a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out the improvement needed. Mill Green hit the frame over fences at Warwick last time and he has to be considered back over the smaller obstacles, while Goshhowposh is in cracking form and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Gowel Road 2nd Mill Green 3rd Goshhowposh

GALIA DES LITEAUX (second) had Malina Girl (seventh) behind when showing great heart to battle all the way to the line over 3m5f in a premier handicap at Warwick last month. She is now rated 146, which makes her joint top-rated in this contest. As for the latter, she is 4lb better off at the weights this time around, so could get closer. Pink Legend is more than capable at this level and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Galia Des Liteaux 2nd Malina Girl 3rd Pink Legend

There was enough encouragement to be taken from RAMSES DE TEILLEE's reappearance fourth at Warwick last month to suggest that he has a race of this nature in him. The five-time chase winner now races off his last winning mark and he's taken to do the business. Musical Slave, who landed the spoils in last year's renewal, should appreciate a return to this course. The Getaway gelding is feared most, ahead of Good Boy Bobby.
Prediction : 1st Ramses De Teillee 2nd Musical Slave 3rd Good Boy Bobby

Staff Sergeant Len almost defied market expectations when a close-up second at Fontwell a fortnight ago and the four-year-old will be out to put his experience to good use. However, there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with Rules debutant TEESHAN topping the bill. The gelded son of Westerner romped home by a staggering 41 lengths on his sole point-to-point start and really could be anything. Sawdust boasts a similar profile and isn't taken lightly.
Prediction : 1st Teeshan 2nd Sawdust 3rd Staff Sergeant Len
