UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

TIME TO BITE bounced back to winning ways with an impressive display at Plumpton last month, and going back up in trip should not inconvenience this previous C&D scorer. The son of Scorpion went up 10lb for that recent victory but he is readily preferred to the consistent Birdman Bob, who makes his chase debut after finishing runner-up over hurdles on three of his last four starts. Rajjamataz and Samtara have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st Time To Bite 2nd Birdman Bob 3rd Samtara

The Jennie Candlish stable has been going well of late and this looks like an ideal opportunity for I'M TOO TIRED to regain the winning thread. A taking winner at Sedgefield in January over further, the four-year-old has been disappointing in both subsequent starts (one on the Flat at Southwell) but should appreciate stepping back up in trip and looks capable of bouncing back against the likes of Hard Rain and Foxey, who scored on his sole outing over this distance at Newton Abbot last October.
Prediction : 1st Im Too Tired 2nd Foxey 3rd Hard Rain

This can go the way of MAHLAND, who showed up well for a long way over further at Ludlow last month before being worn down late in the day. The combination of making his handicap debut and dropping in trip can see the six-year-old get off the mark at the main expense of Sun Joy, who has a 3lb rise to overcome for a determined success at Plumpton in January. The consistent Letthedustsettle and Maximum Effort are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Mahland 2nd Sun Joy 3rd Letthedustsettle

PIRATES' TALE showed a likeable attitude when justifying market support to score over C&D earlier this month, pulling clear with the runner-up, and now pitched into a handicap for the first time with conditions to suit, he may prove tough to stop. The consistent Classic Maestro heads the dangers, but arrives 6lb above his last winning mark and that asks a question of him. The unexposed Another Folly may bounce back from being pulled up in extreme conditions at Ffos Las in December and he looks capable of making his presence felt on his handicap debut off an opening mark of 107.
Prediction : 1st Pirates Tale 2nd Classic Maestro 3rd Another Folly

The class-dropping GINGERBRED won cosily over 3m on his penultimate start, prior to bumping into an in-form rival when finishing second over 3m1f at Wincanton most recently, and off 5lb higher than his last winning mark, he gets the nod to return to the winner's enclosure. The hat-trick seeking Born At Midnight can give the selection most to think about, although a 9lb hike for his recent Plumpton success demands more of him, while Bampton Star scored narrowly in a C&D handicap when sporting cheekpieces for the first time (retained) and he can make his presence felt off 6lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Gingerbred 2nd Born At Midnight 3rd Bampton Star

YIPPEE KI YAY put his best foot forward when running out a ready winner over C&D on his Rules debut last week and he is tough to oppose on that evidence. The Wolf looks ready for this step back up in trip after running on well into third over an extended 2m6f at Leicester last time, but his jumping still leaves something to be desired. Haven't Time certainly stripped fitter for his reappearance effort in February when scoring in this sphere at Southwell last month and he cannot be overlooked in a bid to bring up a double.
Prediction : 1st Yippee Ki Yay 2nd The Wolf 3rd Havent Time
