SEASMOKE found only an in-form rival too strong when attempting to supplement a Market Rasen triumph at Southwell and can continue her good run of form off the same rating. Maximum Offers' jumping let him down when favourite for his chasing debut at Taunton, but the experience won't be lost on him and cheekpieces go on. Easy To Follow has slipped to an interesting mark, and Jo Lescribaa should be able to perform better than he did on his Uttoxeter return.
Prediction : 1st Seasmoke 2nd Maximum Offers 3rd Easy To Follow

Limerick Lass came within a whisker of denying a filly who was already a winner over hurdles on her jumping bow at Wincanton with Beauty In The Park a well-beaten joint-favourite - and has every chance of going one better. However, CLONDAW PARK cost a whopping 320,000 pounds after scoring between the flags and was pitched straight into Listed company at Newbury. She was far from a spent force when getting rid of Paul O'Brien three out and looks a bright prospect. Lady Magic has won a couple of AQPS races in France so is worth a look.
Prediction : 1st Clondaw Park 2nd Limerick Lass 3rd Lady Magic

The SOBER GLORY bubble burst at Sandown, but that was surely too bad to be true. Prior to that, the five-year-old looked one of the more exciting novice hurdlers when adding a Chepstow maiden hurdle to a flawless bumper campaign and a success between the flags, and he is given another chance. Blowers created history over C&D but needs to prove that wasn't a fluke and Gambino, who achieved a rating of 83 during a limited Flat career in Ireland, is feared more.
Prediction : 1st Sober Glory 2nd Gambino 3rd Blowers

14:20 Exeter

Locked Down Lad is becoming frustrating to follow after a run of five places in a row and although dropped 1lb for his latest third, he may have to settle for more of the same. Our Dylan won readily enough at Wincanton in November but an added 5lb leaves him needing a career best at the age of 10, and the vote goes to HILLSIN. He does need forgiving a poor run at Hereford but has a good course record and is on a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Hillsin 2nd Our Dylan 3rd Locked Down Lad

14:55 Exeter

Looking For Larry won this race last year off a mark of 99, but he has 5lb more now and was a well-beaten seventh at Taunton when last seen in February. This looks a tough ask on his return and giving 26lb to the race-fit WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE, who only went under by half-a-length at Wincanton in November. A repeat of that could see him win for the third time, with the first-time blinkered Iris Des Issards an interesting alternative.
Prediction : 1st Watchoutitscookie 2nd Looking For Larry 3rd Iris Des Issards

15:30 Exeter

Kingcormac enjoyed a return to Hereford when landing the spoils there last month and cannot be dismissed in his current vein of form. However, the veteran is effectively 9lb higher without Callum Pritchard's 3lb claim and he may be worth taking on with BONZA BOY. Jeremy Scott's string have been improving for their reappearances and his representative could leave a sixth-placed defeat at Chepstow far behind. Chase-debutant Ker D'oudairies is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Bonza Boy 2nd Kingcormac 3rd Ker Doudairies

16:00 Exeter

Having filled the runner-up berth on both outings, I'm Wide Awake should put his experience to good use. Sue Gardner's charge is unlikely to be far away, while Ffos Las third Big John Ollie is open to improvement on just his second start. However, the pair may be trumped by newcomer LE COLD GREY, a half-brother to the triple Grade 1 winner Gaillard Du Mesnil and he may take some stopping if sharing his ability.
Prediction : 1st Le Cold Grey 2nd Im Wide Awake 3rd Big John Ollie
