Book Haldon Gold Cup Hospitality Novices’ Selling Hurdle

 Winner £3,812, 2nd £1,756, 3rd £878, 4th £440

 4yo+, 5 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 2f 111y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick 6.6) (Watering)

1. Land Afar – Best Odds: 8/11 with Bet365

Jockey: Nathan Andrews | Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
Boasts the most reliable credentials in the field with a win and pair of runner-up finishes across recent outings. Carries the standout form in the race and looks to be fairly treated in this grade. With conditions to suit and consistency on his side, he’ll be tough to beat if repeating his usual effort.


2. Kintaro – Best Odds: 8/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Ben Bromley | Trainer: David Pipe
Has struggled to put together a strong overall showing in recent months but ran better than the bare result last time and drops to selling level for the first time. First-time visor might bring about a sharper focus, and with stamina proven, he’s not a complete no-hoper.


3. Saddlers Dream – Best Odds: 33/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Kimber | Trainer: Bill Turner
Very little encouragement to take from four modest runs, and it’s hard to see where the improvement might come from. Has failed to finish closer than mid-pack so far and now enters a selling event in search of a spark. Unlikely to feature unless the rest underperform badly.


4. Denzil – Best Odds: 7/4 with BetMGM

Jockey: Harry Atkins | Trainer: Dan Skelton
Brings a consistent level of performance to the table, having placed in a few handicaps, and now dips in class to a seller for the first time. Could find this less competitive race right up his alley and seems one of the few with realistic winning claims outside the favourite.


5. Breccia – Best Odds: 14/1 with Unibet

Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Robert Stephens
Shaped with promise on a few occasions but form has dipped lately, and confidence may have been dented by a heavy defeat last time. However, if finding his rhythm again, he could sneak into the frame in a contest that lacks depth behind the top two.

Verdict

Land Afar stands out on recent evidence and deserves favouritism, but Denzil is a serious threat now easing in class, especially with the benefit of youth on his side. Kintaro is an intriguing outsider if the headgear works, while Breccia might improve in this lesser company. Saddlers Dream looks up against it.

Exeter 14:55

South West Rail Solutions Ltd Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

 Winner £8,186, 2nd £3,767, 3rd £1,883, 4th £942, 5th £470

 5yo+, 5 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 3m 54y , SOFT (GoingStick: 5.6)

1. Rangatira Jack – Best Odds: 15/8 with Bet365

Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: Linda Blackford
Consistent efforts of late suggest he’s coming to hand, and his recent runner-up finish hinted at further potential to come. Looks nicely treated at the weights and has shaped like this sort of trip would suit perfectly. If his jumping holds together, he’s likely to be there at the finish.


2. Wot You Wearing – Best Odds: 9/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Robert Stephens
Has struggled to string together a strong run recently, but showed a flicker of improvement last time. Cheekpieces remain applied, and a clearer round of jumping could see him outperform expectations. One for the shortlist if building on that latest effort.


3. Ici La Reine – Best Odds: 8/1 with BetMGM

Jockey: Charlie Deutsch | Trainer: Mel Rowley
Still relatively unexposed and now tries fences after a quiet spell over hurdles. Though her recent form leaves questions, this could be the right trip and company to see her step forward. Capable of outrunning her price if taking to chasing.


4. Constant Friday – Best Odds: 6/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Tabitha Worsley | Trainer: Richard Rowe
Veteran chaser who has shown glimpses of promise following a lengthy layoff. Not without ability and stays well, though might need a strong pace to be seen at his best. Place possibilities if everything falls right.


5. Moonlight Artist – Best Odds: 4/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Brendan Powell | Trainer: Joe Tizzard
Recent efforts haven’t set the world alight, but he’s been facing tougher company and now drops in grade. First-time blinkers could sharpen him up, and a return to this track may help reignite some form. Dangerous to ignore if he gets into a rhythm early.


6. Blue Ribbon – Best Odds: 15/2 with Unibet

Jockey: David Noonan | Trainer: Ryan Chapman
Lightly raced in recent seasons but showed minor promise on his comeback run. Will need to take a significant step forward to trouble the principals here, but not completely discounted if the race falls apart late.


7. Miss Marette – Best Odds: 16/1 with Bet365

Jockey: James Davies | Trainer: Chris Down
Has shown little to get excited about for some time and continues to slide down the weights. That said, she has gone well at Exeter in the past and is now very low in the handicap. One for the brave punters only.


8. Hi Riko – Best Odds: 28/1 with BetMGM

Jockey: Elizabeth Gale | Trainer: Carroll Gray
Nothing in his recent performances inspires confidence, with multiple pulled-up efforts and heavy defeats. Hard to recommend under current circumstances and looks likely to be tailed off unless a drastic turnaround occurs.

Verdict

Rangatira Jack sets a clear standard based on recent performances and is the obvious one to beat, but Moonlight Artist looks poised to spring a surprise dropping in grade with headgear applied. Ici La Reine is unexposed over fences and could take a leap forward, while Constant Friday might grab a minor placing with a smooth round.

Exeter 15:25

South West Rail Solutions Ltd Mares’ Chase (Listed Race) (GBB Race)

 Winner £18,509, 2nd £6,945, 3rd £3,478, 4th £1,732, 5th £871, 6th £436

5yo+, 5 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 3m 54y , SOFT (GoingStick: 5.6)

1. Broderick – Best Odds: 7/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Luke Scott | Trainer: Jennie Candlish
Continues to perform with admirable consistency, rarely finishing out of the frame in recent starts. Despite not always finding the winning thread, he often gives his running and should handle the trip and track. Solid contender who deserves respect once again in this line-up.


2. Espoir Des Forges – Best Odds: 8/1 with BetMGM

Jockey: Charlie Deutsch | Trainer: Mel Rowley
A regular in this sort of grade, and although a win still eludes him, he’s hinted at more than enough ability to play a role at this level. Ran with credit in his latest start and has the scope to improve further. Will need to step up to feature, but shouldn’t be written off.


3. Koukeo – Best Odds: 10/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill
Looked on the verge of a breakthrough earlier in the campaign but form has tailed off somewhat in recent appearances. Connections reach for a bit of help with headgear, and if that sparks a revival, he could return to the picture. A bit to prove but not without talent.


4. Super Saint – Best Odds: 15/8 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Paul Nicholls
Broke his maiden tag in strong style last time and now heads into handicaps with a workable mark. A stable always to be feared with improving types, and this one could be open to plenty more progression. Rates a key danger if continuing in the same vein.


5. Al Sayah – Best Odds: 11/4 with Unibet

Jockey: Conor O’Farrell | Trainer: Neil Mulholland
Arrives in flying form having landed back-to-back victories in lower-grade events and now takes on a slightly tougher challenge. Clearly thriving and knows how to get his head in front, but faces a deeper field today. Still merits plenty of consideration given his current momentum.

Verdict

The improving Super Saint looks capable of progressing again after a convincing maiden win and could have more to offer now handicapping. Al Sayah is chasing a quick hat-trick and must enter calculations, while Broderick remains a consistent type who rarely runs a poor race. Koukeo and Espoir Des Forges are harder to assess but wouldn’t shock if placing.

What Is Trending At Rhino.Bet Casino Handicap Chase

 Winner £8,714, 2nd £4,010, 3rd £2,005, 4th £1,003, 5th £500

 4yo+, 6 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 48y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 7.6)

1. Inside Man – Best Odds: 11/4 with Bet365

Jockey: David Noonan | Trainer: Jane Williams
Returned to the winner’s enclosure earlier this term and followed that up with a respectable fourth in a deeper field. Still lightly raced and retains scope for better. This course-and-distance winner is unlikely to be far away if he finds a good rhythm early.


2. Seeyouinmydreams – Best Odds: 15/8 with BetMGM

Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Paul Nicholls
Lightly campaigned but has made a real impression with two wins from three since returning from a break. Drops in distance today after a solid run over further, and with a strong yard behind her, she looks primed to improve further on handicap debut. The one to beat if she settles nicely.


3. Tarahumara – Best Odds: 14/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Jack Tudor | Trainer: Emma Lavelle
Had a solid strike rate in earlier campaigns but hasn’t recaptured that spark since coming back this season. Steps back in trip and may benefit from a more restrained ride, though needs to find plenty to get competitive here. Something to prove at present.


4. Campaign Trail – Best Odds: 12/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
Picked up a novice hurdle impressively last year and has run with credit since moving into handicaps. Connections try cheekpieces again in a bid to eke out more. Still has potential and could be the dark horse in this contest if he responds positively to the change in gear.


5. Princess T – Best Odds: 10/3 with Unibet

Jockey: Conor O’Farrell | Trainer: Neil Mulholland
The most consistent performer in the field, placing regularly and rarely running a bad race. She stays further but possesses enough speed to cope with this trip. Given her recent form, she should be a serious player once again, particularly if the tempo turns into a test.


6. Commanding View – Best Odds: 5/1 with Betvictor

Jockey: Charlie Deutsch | Trainer: Mel Rowley
Has shown steady progress this season, picking up a win in the autumn and posting solid efforts in defeat since. Might prefer slightly further, but certainly has the cruising speed to figure here. Will need everything to drop right but capable of getting involved at the business end.

Verdict

Seeyouinmydreams looks the most unexposed in this field and could take a significant step forward on her first start in a handicap, but Princess T continues to turn up and perform, and she may have the tactical edge if this becomes a test of pace. Inside Man deserves another look on the back of consistent efforts, while Campaign Trail could surprise at a price.

 Winner £3,697, 2nd £1,701, 3rd £851, 4th £426, 5th £212

 3yo+, 18 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 161y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 7.6)

Issam – 5/2 (bet365 – click here)
Tom Symonds’ gelding has shown strong form at this level and looks well-suited to the conditions. With Daryl Jacob taking the reins, he’s expected to mount a significant challenge.

Investment Manager – 9/2 (Betvictor – click here)
Joe Tizzard’s eight-year-old has been consistent this season, winning twice and placing third last time out. Jack Tudor’s experience adds confidence to this contender’s chances.

Into The Park – 11/4 (BetMGM – click here)
This five-year-old from the Philip Hobbs & Johnson White yard has a progressive profile but will need to bounce back after a lackluster effort on his seasonal debut. Micheal Nolan will look to guide him back to form.

Mayhem Mya – 9/2 (bet365 – click here)
Chris Honour’s mare has been inconsistent of late, failing to complete her last two starts. However, she has prior course experience, and Bryan Carver’s partnership could spark a turnaround.

Centara – 4/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Paul Nicholls’ lightly raced six-year-old has potential to improve despite being pulled up on his last outing. Jay Tidball’s 5lb claim could prove vital in helping this gelding find his best.

Verdict

Issam brings strong credentials and looks set to thrive under these conditions, making him the one to beat. Investment Manager has been reliable and could emerge as the main threat, while Centara holds the potential to surprise if finding improvement. Our pick: Issam to come out on top, with Investment Manager and Centara chasing closely.

Budges Farm Handicap Chase

 Winner £3,961, 2nd £1,823, 3rd £911, 4th £456, 5th £227

 4yo+, 11 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 48y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 7.6)

Rangatira Jack – 33/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Linda Blackford’s six-year-old has been out of form in recent starts and looks unlikely to feature unless he finds significant improvement under Sean Houlihan.

Ileny Royale – 11/2 (BetMGM – click here)
Tim Vaughan’s gelding bounced back to form with a victory last time out. Alan Johns retains the ride, and another strong showing could be on the cards.

Time To Bite – 12/1 (bet365 – click here)
Chris Honour’s nine-year-old has been a consistent performer but will need to step up after finishing sixth in his latest outing. Bryan Carver takes the reins again.

Imperial Joe – 10/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Tim Dennis’ gelding has shown some promise with recent efforts. Mr. Jake Bament’s 7lb claim could make him an interesting contender at a decent price.

Coconut Twist – 16/1 (BetMGM – click here)
Daisy Hitchins’ runner has struggled for consistency but has shown glimpses of ability. Mr. Robbie David claims 7lbs, which could help this six-year-old get closer to the frame.

Pep Talking – 4/1 (bet365 – click here)
Billy Aprahamian’s gelding comes into the race in great form, winning his last two starts. Gavin Sheehan stays aboard, and he looks like a strong contender once again.

You Say Nothing – 14/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Christian Williams’ nine-year-old has been inconsistent this season but could improve under Jack Tudor. However, he’ll need to rediscover better form to challenge here.

Nadim – 25/1 (BetMGM – click here)
This five-year-old from Daisy Hitchins’ yard has yet to deliver on his promise. Harry Reed takes the ride and will be hoping for a step forward from the gelding.

Mister Upton – 7/2 (bet365 – click here)
Chris Gordon’s five-year-old has been in terrific form, winning two of his last three starts. Freddie Gordon’s 5lb claim enhances his chances in this competitive field.

Zmiinyi – 9/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Kim Bailey’s six-year-old has been knocking on the door, placing in his last two outings. Tom Bellamy is a reliable partner and could guide him to a breakthrough performance.

The Cox Express – 14/1 (BetMGM – click here)
Robert Walford’s five-year-old has shown some promise but needs to step up significantly to contend here. Harry Kimber rides, and improvement is not out of the question.

Wellwillya – 16/1 (bet365 – click here)
Helen Nelmes’ six-year-old is hard to predict, with a win followed by a pulled-up effort in his last two starts. Alice Stevens’ 3lb claim might help secure a better run.

My Rockstar – 12/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Helen Rees’ runner has been improving steadily, with a win last time out. Ben Godfrey takes the ride again and will be aiming to build on that success.

Benville Bridge – 33/1 (BetMGM – click here)
Fiona Shaw’s seven-year-old has been struggling for form and would need a significant turnaround to be competitive in this race. Lewis Stones claims 3lbs.

Eurowork – 33/1 (bet365 – click here)
Nigel Hawke’s ten-year-old has been off the pace for some time. Lorcan Murtagh will need to produce a masterclass to bring him into contention.

Master Mikey Dee – 33/1 (Betvictor – click here)
Richenda Ford’s nine-year-old has been consistent in placing finishes but hasn’t raced recently. Caoilin Quinn rides, but fitness could be a concern.

Fox Wallace – 100/1 (BetMGM – click here)
Ella Pickard’s six-year-old has failed to complete his last three starts. Philip Armson takes the ride but improvement is required to have any impact.

Verdict

Mister Upton has been in superb form and looks poised for another strong performance, while Pep Talking also arrives with momentum and could provide a stern challenge. Zmiinyi appears well-placed to capitalize on recent consistency and offers value as an outsider. Our pick: Mister Upton to triumph, with Pep Talking and Zmiinyi completing the placings.
