UK Horse Racing Tips: Exeter

Placed behind a pair of smart Dan Skelton-trained hurdlers the last twice, KAP OUEST has shown more than enough ability to suggest that he can get off the mark in this sphere. This appeals as an ideal opportunity for the five-year-old, and he may have too much for Don't Wind Me Up, who was going well before a mistake two out at Newbury last time. A capable sort on the level, Tuxedo Junction has yet to put it together over hurdles but is expected to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Kap Ouest 2nd Dont Wind Me Up 3rd Tuxedo Junction

A promising third on her chase debut at Bangor last month, PARTY VIBES jumped well in the main and this represents a drop in grade from Listed class. The form of her stable is another plus, and the six-year-old gets the nod ahead of Sunday Soldier, who was a prolific winner over hurdles last season and must be of interest on her chasing bow. The drop back in trip is likely to suit Baby Shally.
Prediction : 1st Party Vibes 2nd Sunday Soldier 3rd Baby Shally

A tad unlucky not to go closer when making a mistake two out at Bangor last month, RED N YELLOW is expected to improve plenty from that outing. The three-year-old is taken to go one better at the main expense of Star Of Guiting, who was a promising fourth in an Aintree bumper last time out and could be a nice proposition over hurdles. A half-brother to the high-class Santini, Widdybank will probably want further in time but cannot be ruled out at this level.
Prediction : 1st Red N Yellow 2nd Star Of Guiting 3rd Widdybank

Toss Of A Coin was only denied by half a length in a novice handicap on his chase debut and while he can improve for that, this looks tougher off a 2lb higher mark and preference is for PACHACUTI. A winner at Wincanton in February, David Pipe's gelding finished well clear of the remainder when a neck second off 2lb lower over that same C&D a fortnight ago and another bold bid is expected. Track-and-trip scorer Enjoy Your Life should relish the step back up in distance after filling the runner-up berth over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow last month.
Prediction : 1st Pachacuti 2nd Toss Of A Coin 3rd Enjoy Your Life

Issam won this race last year and should go well in his bid to repeat the dose, but he races of an 8lb higher mark this time around and it could pay to give another chance to LAC DE CONSTANCE. He travelled well and looked a big danger when falling at the last at Uttoxeter in October, but Dan Skelton's eight-year-old may have needed that first run for 11 months and he could be hard to hold with a clear round. Course winner Investment Manager completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lac De Constance 2nd Issam 3rd Investment Manager

Having scored at Uttoxeter and Sedgefield last month, the hat-trick seeking Pep Talking must enter calculations on his upward trajectory. However, a 5lb higher mark for the six-year-old's latest triumph does demand another career-best performance and MISTER UPTON may prove too strong. Chris Gordon's gelding escapes a penalty for his success in a conditional handicap at Hereford eight days ago and a quick double may be in the offing. Fellow last-time-out winners Ileny Royale and My Rockstar aren't easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Mister Upton 2nd Pep Talking 3rd Ileny Royale

Catboy returned to form with a close-up second over 2m4f at Musselburgh 10 days ago and the four-year-old warrants respect racing off an unchanged mark. With that being said, the son of Agent Secret isn't certain to stay this extended 2m5f distance, so MOORLAND RAMBLER edges the vote. Jane Williams' inmate appreciated a switch to hurdles when finishing a staying-on second here earlier in the month and he looks ready to strike up in trip. Dual course winner Sindabella is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Moorland Rambler 2nd Catboy 3rd Sindabella
