Exeter 13:45 Odds Comparison

Well-related sort who made an encouraging start to his career when third in an 11-runner Warwick bumper (2m) a year ago. Occupied same spot both starts over hurdles despite failing to settle in a hood and that form puts him right in the mix.

Lightly-raced son of Walk In The Park who caught the eye when a patiently-ridden third of 18 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) in December. Too free to make a significant impact on handicap debut last month and this big field may help him settle.

Hails from a good jumping family and having shaped quite nicely in a course bumper last winter he again showed plenty to work on when runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) back in April. Held back by mistakes when not in the same form at Ffos Las 7 months later.

Fair form shown in a trio of bumpers and on the back of a couple of heavy defeats over hurdles, he showed much more after a breathing operation when third at Newbury last month. Shade better than the result too, so he's now of major interest.

Fair form when placed in all 3 bumpers (soft/heavy). Should be up to making an impact over hurdles but effort flattened out on first try at Chepstow last month.

Fair form over hurdles in France where also third on chasing debut when last seen a year ago. Has left J. Delaunay and had a breathing operation ahead of British debut.

Elusive Pimpernel gelding out of an unraced sister to unreliable but useful hurdler/chaser Out Sam and half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Honest John. Hooded and promise both bumper starts this winter, third on each occasion. Of interest on hurdles debut.

£30,000 5-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Too Much To Ask. Dam, fair 2m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Zemsky. Third sole start in Irish points but low-key Rules debut at Ludlow (21.3f) in January. Tongue tie fitted.

Modest third in a Lingfield bumper (2m) in December, seemingly found wanting for a change of pace. Up in trip for hurdles debut and never involved at Hereford 10 days ago.

Didn't shape badly sole start in a Flat maiden for Alan King back in May 2023. Gelded and had breathing operation in lengthy absence after and showed nothing sent hurdling tongue tied last month.

No great shakes between the flags (0-8 in that sphere) and showed nothing on hurdles debut last week.

Looks limited on early evidence. Blinkers fitted.

Linda's Lad gelding. Dam ran once in bumper/made frame sole start over hurdles. Big price and well held in a bumper back in July 2024. Off since.

Jack Hobbs mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Beau Haze. Dam bumper/2m-2¾m hurdle winner. Pulled up on last month's belated debut.

€8,000 3-y-o, Imperial Monarch mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Above Board. Second completed start in point. 300/1, tailed off on hurdles debut over C&D 11 days ago.

Half-brother to fair hurdler Intifadah (2m winner, by Intikhab). Well held in 2 minor events on Flat.
