Exeter races and ones to note 011111

1.50 - the grey Grand Vision is a very fluent jumper and will go on to fences no problem Tizzard  horse with Joe up holds the stats well - one to watch is the bridle horse Allerton NON RUNNER who probably needs further than this in time on breeding but has the right Hold up Jockey Timmy Murphy on board - GRAND VISION NEEDS LEFT HANDED BUT THE TWO THAT BEAT IT ARE CLASSY - ALLTHEKINGSHORSES created a nice impression when winning his point back in March and, despite market weakness (possibly in the face of strong support for the runner-up), he managed to hold on as the pair battled all the way up the straight. The way he travelled suggests he´s a horse with a big engine and, whilst connections will no doubt be keen to take it relatively easy with him this season, he should win again and will no doubt he upped in grade at some point. He´s very much a chaser with next season in mind.

Rocky Creek, a brother to the talented but ill-fated Tell Massini, like the winner had impressively won on his pointing debut earlier in the year and the money around for him very much suggested he would make a successful debut. However, he came under pressure before the straight and, whilst picking up well to challenge, always just looked to be second-best. The step up to 3m can only help and he should be winning next time.

Grand Vision, runner-up on each of his three starts (two bumpers and a novice hurdles on his return),travelled well for a long way in front on this step up in trip, but the front two possessed more class, and he couldn´t race on. He should find a similar race and has the makings of a chaser.2.20 watchin race but keep your eyes on two that have a future -- Bubbly Bruce and Mabel Tasman 36S IN THE MARKET  And she almost got there into 4th ONE FOR THE FUTURE
Mabel Tasman shaped nicely on this return from 571 days off, keeping on from the rear past beaten horses. She´ll be of some interest switched to handicaps, with similar comments applying to Bubbly Bruce, who was making his debut for Fergal O´Brien and kept on late.


2.50 we analysed this one below


 3.20 no bet it will be very tactical  and possible for an upset but unlikely. First time chasers in small fields are a nightmare 


3.50 Inside Dealer again for Tizzard - bred from Presenting is a complete right handed animal bred for distance and runs well fresh has had time to get over its fall and a tentative each way selection


 Result and all plaudits to Rade
Few got into what had looked a decent handicap chase, FORTIFICATION leading throughout and galloping on relentlessly to provide Kieran Burke with his first winner at the first attempt since taking over from Pat Rodford.

His last win had been for Nigel Hawke back in 2009, and now 8lb lower, following a string of poor efforts in the past two years, he looked a revitalised horse. The handicapper will have his say now, though.

Inside Dealer, progressive over fences last season, made a satisfactory return grinding it out well to hold second. He had a tough enough race, though, and remains 10lb above his last winning mark.


 4.20 is a nightmare of a handicap and will wait to see how the market and ground goes
