Races & Results Friday 26th February 2021
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Striking A Pose 0.29/1, Irish point winner who has improved by the run over hurdles, suited by step up to 21.4f when making winning handicap debut at Wincanton in December. Very much the one to beat back in a novice.
2
2nd (3) (11/1 -10%) Investment Manager
11/1(-10%)
(3) Investment Manager 11/1, €70,000 Nathaniel gelding. Dam 11f-13f winner. Modest in bumpers and looks a long-term project over obstacles.
3
3rd (6) (22/1 +56%) Manofmanywords
22/1(+56%)
(6) Manofmanywords 22/1, Successful twice in points back in March 2019. Minor promise in a brace of novice events at Wincanton and he looks a handicap project.
4
4th (9) (14/1 -17%) Whistleinthedark
14/1(-17%)
(9) Whistleinthedark 14/1, €25,000 foal, €48,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Young Ted and half-brother to useful hurdler Ice Cool Champs. Placed both starts in Irish points.
5th
5th (5) (150/1 -50%) Liberty Rock
150/1(-50%)
(5) Liberty Rock 150/1, Libertarian gelding. Dam, maiden hurdler, 1¼m-1½m winner on Flat. Brushed aside in a Chepstow bumper 3 weeks ago.
6th
6th (10) (3.33/1 -21%) Without A Doubt
3.33/1(-21%)
(10) Without A Doubt 3.33/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Grandads Horse and fair chaser Solid Strike, stays 3¼m. Very promising start indeed when winning 13-runner bumper at Southwell in December. Has left Philip Hobbs.
7th
7th (7) (300/1 -100%) Morpet
300/1(-100%)
(7) Morpet 300/1, Some success in points but very lightly raced under Rules and little to shout about.
8th
8th (4) (300/1 -100%) Joe Warbrick
300/1(-100%)
(4) Joe Warbrick 300/1, Has looked limited in 3 starts so far.
|U|
|U| (8) (200/1 -150%) Valentino
200/1(-150%)
(8) Valentino 200/1, Big price and always behind in 2m Taunton novice hurdle on debut in October.
LTO Selection:
12:30 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(11) Volkovka 1.62/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France and going right way over hurdles, solid third in listed company at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) last time. Reproduction of that form will make her very hard to beat.
2
2nd (9) (2/1 +43%) Windswept Girl
2/1(+43%)
(9) Windswept Girl 2/1, Impressive bumper winner who showed an aptitude for hurdling when third at Lingfield in November. Probably best to overlook subsequent run here (didn't get home upped to 23f) and she's not discounted.
3
3rd (8) (200/1 -100%) Who Told You
200/1(-100%)
(8) Who Told You 200/1, Successful once from half-a-dozen starts between the flags. Returned lame when falling at around the halfway point on Rules debut here (23f, heavy) in November.
4
4th (4) (6.5/1 +54%) Ordered Lives
6.5/1(+54%)
(4) Ordered Lives 6.5/1, Shaped well when a staying-on fourth (after not clear run 2f out) at Ffos Las on debut in October. Has failed to build on that in 2 starts since, though, and Volkovka is clearly the stable No 1.
5th
5th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Little Else
6.5/1(+28%)
(3) Little Else 6.5/1, Game winner of a soft-ground Chepstow bumper in December. Out of her depth in listed company at Huntingdon next time, but makes hurdles debut at a realistic level and she's worth a second look.
6th
6th (1) (80/1 -100%) Familiar Spirit
80/1(-100%)
(1) Familiar Spirit 80/1, Fame And Glory half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Alverstone. Little impact in a couple of mares' bumpers and considerable improvement needed on hurdles debut.
7th
7th (2) (40/1 +0%) Gold Leader
40/1(+0%)
(2) Gold Leader 40/1, Not devoid of appeal on paper, but sent off at 50/1 and beaten a long way on recent debut in 19f Warwick novice hurdle.
8th
8th (6) (7.5/1 +81%) Saddlers Quest
7.5/1(+81%)
(6) Saddlers Quest 7.5/1, Modest form in bumpers and while she hasn't shaped too badly in novices hurdles at Bangor and Ffos Las the last twice, handicaps may well be her calling.
9th
9th (5) (40/1 -567%) Quietlyflowsthedon
40/1(-567%)
(5) Quietlyflowsthedon 40/1, Out with the washing on debut in a Hereford bumper last month, but better was clearly expected (heavily backed) and it'll be interesting to see if support arrives again ahead of this hurdles bow.
10th
10th (10) (250/1 -279%) Yashims Girl
250/1(-279%)
(10) Yashims Girl 250/1, Califet mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Hill Sixteen. Yard is hardly synonymous with winning newcomers and she's best watched on this occasion.
LTO Selection:
13:00 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Earth Moor 12/1, Off the mark in good style over fences at Fontwell (21.6f) in December. Not disgraced when midfield in a jumpers bumper at Kempton 2 weeks ago and not discounted.
2
2nd (1) (2.75/1 +0%) Highland Hunter
2.75/1(+0%)
(1) Highland Hunter 2.75/1, Progressive hurdler who was shaping encouragingly prior to falling at the last at Chepstow on chase bow in January. Confirmed promise when scoring at Carlisle (26f) since and he's a player again.
3
3rd (6) (2/1 +0%) Hold That Taught
2/1(+0%)
(6) Hold That Taught 2/1, Novice hurdle winner in the mud last term and even better over fences this time around, running a cracker behind Ask Me Early at Chepstow last month. Mark creeping up but he's one to be interested in.
4
4th (5) (6.5/1 -44%) Welsh Saint
6.5/1(-44%)
(5) Welsh Saint 6.5/1, Useful hurdler who showed promise at the second attempt over fences when third in a Ffos Las novice (23.8f) recently, jumping well for the most part. Another likely improver now handicapping.
5th
5th (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Dolphin Square
5.5/1(+8%)
(3) Dolphin Square 5.5/1, Useful hurdler who showed aptitude for chasing at the first attempt when runner-up in a C&D novice event last month. Possible he'll sharpen up for that and better to come now handicapping.
|F|
|F| (4) (7/1 +0%) L'air Du Vent
7/1(+0%)
(4) L'air Du Vent 7/1, Ex-pointer who drew a blank over hurdles but improved to get off the mark in a C&D novice in November. Seemingly not 100% at Cheltenham since and he remains low-mileage.
LTO Selection:
13:30 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Looks Like Power 12/1, Poor strike rate in this sphere but confirmed he's back in fair heart from a reduced mark when third in 3m handicap at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. Not ruled out.
2
2nd (1) (7/1 -155%) Wouldubewell
7/1(-155%)
(1) Wouldubewell 7/1, Dual point winner who made winning hurdling bow in hard-fought style at Uttoxeter and better form when fourth under a penalty at Wincanton. Remains unexposed now handicapping.
3
3rd (10) (5/1 +77%) Pour Une Raison
5/1(+77%)
(10) Pour Une Raison 5/1, Sprung a 50/1 surprise here (21.6f) in November but that effort is very much a standout and he wasn't in anything like the same form here both starts since.
4
4th (7) (7/1 +42%) Buster Edwards
7/1(+42%)
(7) Buster Edwards 7/1, Back-to-back handicap hurdle winner last winter and creditable placed efforts on first 2 starts over fences. Has since lost form but potentially well treated back in this sphere.
5th
5th (8) (18/1 -100%) Shantou Sunset
18/1(-100%)
(8) Shantou Sunset 18/1, Bumper winner who showed improved form to get off the mark in Market Rasen handicap (20.5f) in July. Hit the frame all completed starts since and should be on the premises again.
6th
6th (5) (16/1 +0%) Garrane
16/1(+0%)
(5) Garrane 16/1, Dual hurdles winner who has yet to get his head in front over fences and good run of form came to an end in a change of headgear/tongue strap last time. Back over hurdles now.
|F|
|F| (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Exod'ela
8.5/1(+15%)
(2) Exod'ela 8.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who was let down by his jumping when well held in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton and again below form back in calmer waters at Catterick. Change of headgear.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (2/1 +20%) Storm Force Ben
2/1(+20%)
(9) Storm Force Ben 2/1, Good type physically and was beaten only by 2 race-fit rivals on his Chepstow return. Stepped up on that effort when runner-up to a subsequent winner over C&D 7 weeks ago and should go well again.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (8.5/1 -113%) Elmdale
8.5/1(-113%)
(4) Elmdale 8.5/1, Ex-pointer who is progressing gradually so one to bear in mind now handicapping for all improvement needed again off opening mark.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (28/1 -27%) Honest Exchange
28/1(-27%)
(3) Honest Exchange 28/1, Dual Irish-point winner who turned in his best effort of the season when third on handicap debut at Taunton (23.9f) in November. Not so good since, however. Change of headgear.

1
1st (5) (2.5/1 -33%) Momella
2.5/1(-33%)
(5) Momella 2.5/1, Useful hurdler and similar form over fences when winning mares' novices here (17.5f) and Wincanton (2½m) in December. Big player if able to bounce straight back from poor run in Warwick listed latest.
2
2nd (1) (14/1 +0%) Early Morning Rain
14/1(+0%)
(1) Early Morning Rain 14/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who matched that form on first 2 chase starts but disappointed when a distant third to Momella at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Freshened up since.
3
3rd (3) (3/1 -33%) Midnightreferendum
3/1(-33%)
(3) Midnightreferendum 3/1, Made winning start over fences in Fontwell maiden in November and placed in listed events on both completed starts since. 3m should be within range. Likely to go well.
4
4th (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Pink Legend
4.5/1(+0%)
(6) Pink Legend 4.5/1, Dual hurdle winner who made a winning start over fences at Bangor (2½m) and has remained in form since, albeit latest 19f Wetherby second was a bit laboured. 3m could suit her.
5th
5th (2) (2.75/1 +31%) Legends Gold
2.75/1(+31%)
(2) Legends Gold 2.75/1, Point/useful hurdles winner who made winning chase debut at Ffos Las in October. Fell next time, however, and behind a couple of these at Warwick since. Subsequent wind op needs to spark revival.
|U|
|U| (4) (25/1 +38%) Molly Carew
25/1(+38%)
(4) Molly Carew 25/1, Suited by a return to fences when back to form to win handicap at Taunton (21.5f) last month but she faces a stiff task on these terms.

1st (6) (4/1 +0%) Samuel Jackson
4/1(+0%)
(6) Samuel Jackson 4/1, Missed whole of last season and well held in a couple of spins over hurdles in November/December. However, back on track when runner-up in 24.2f handicap chase here last time and he needs considering.
2
2nd (12) (6/1 +63%) Tea Time On Mars
6/1(+63%)
(12) Tea Time On Mars 6/1, Opened chase account here last January and added to his tally over 3m at Bangor in November. Matched that form when fourth of 12 here subsequently, but this is a tougher assignment.
3
3rd (2) (5/1 +33%) Dawson City
5/1(+33%)
(2) Dawson City 5/1, Pulled up when bidding to win this race for the third year running in 2020, but arrives here in far better form this time round, successful under this rider at Wincanton last time. Merits respect.
4
4th (10) (5.5/1 -10%) Amateur
5.5/1(-10%)
(10) Amateur 5.5/1, Taken well to fences, chasing home Sojourn at Carlisle in November and, having undergone a wind op, he went one beter at Newbury (3¼m) the following month. 8 lb rise tolerable and he's a big player.
5th
5th (14) (14/1 +13%) Ballybough Nora
14/1(+13%)
(14) Ballybough Nora 14/1, Went close here on final start of last term and majority of her efforts this time round have been creditable. However, good run of form came to a halt at Chepstow last time and stamina to prove.
6th
6th (3) (22/1 +12%) Boyhood
22/1(+12%)
(3) Boyhood 22/1, Has failed to add to chase debut success back in May 2019, and makes limited appeal back in this sphere following a series of low-key efforts over hurdles.
7th
7th (15) (12/1 -9%) Findusatgorcombe
12/1(-9%)
(15) Findusatgorcombe 12/1, Dual winner last season and made it 2-3 over fences here when narrowly seeing off Dawson City in a C&D handicap in December. Good second at Wincanton since, but this new mark asks a serious question.
8th
8th (13) (12/1 +0%) Bermeo
12/1(+0%)
(13) Bermeo 12/1, Gained second win of season at Cheltenham (25f) in October. Not far behind Special Acceptance when fourth in the Sussex National at Plumpton last time and each-way chance in a first-time visor.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (10/1 -100%) Special Acceptance
10/1(-100%)
(5) Special Acceptance 10/1, Responded well to this headgear when scoring for the first time at Plumpton (25.7f) in December. Solid efforts in defeat there and at Doncaster since, and another bold show is on the cards.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (12/1 +0%) Talktomenow
12/1(+0%)
(7) Talktomenow 12/1, Stepped up on hurdles form when making a winning chase debut at Fontwell (3¼m) in December. Nothing wrong with his 2 subsequent efforts and he's certainly not without each-way hope.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (14/1 -100%) Christmas In April
14/1(-100%)
(1) Christmas In April 14/1, Decisive winner of this race off 6 lb lower mark last year. Decent start to the season when second at Fontwell, but ran poorly in the Welsh National since and the handicapper may hold the aces now.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (25/1 -39%) Financial Outcome
25/1(-39%)
(11) Financial Outcome 25/1, Returned to form following wind surgery when third at Bangor last month, but followed that with a lacklustre display at Doncaster. Others look more solid.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (28/1 -75%) Petite Power
28/1(-75%)
(8) Petite Power 28/1, Veteran who wasn't disgraced when fourth in a competitive Cheltenham handicap chase in November. Not in the same form since, though, and it's best to look elsewhere.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (50/1 -52%) Regal Flow
50/1(-52%)
(9) Regal Flow 50/1, Midlands National winner in 2018 who certainly didn't disgrace himself at Sandown on first 3 starts of the season. Ran no sort of a race at Wincanton last time, though, and he's basically opposable.
LTO Selection:
15:10 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 31f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(3) Valse Au Taillons 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler, winning again at Warwick (19f) in November and then second at Hereford. Shaped as if still in good form in jumpers bumper earlier this month but may find a few too good here.
2
2nd (5) (1.5/1 +33%) Lily The Pink
1.5/1(+33%)
(5) Lily The Pink 1.5/1, Opened hurdles account at this course (16.8f) last winter and resumed progress in a first-time tongue strap after 8 weeks off when scoring at Fontwell last month. Up 4 lb and remains of interest.
3
3rd (1) (5/1 -67%) Panic Attack
5/1(-67%)
(1) Panic Attack 5/1, Beaten a long way on handicap debut at Cheltenham in November, but resumed progress when scoring in good style at Newbury in December. Possibly unsuited by conditions there last time so not ruled out.
4
4th (6) (9/1 -20%) Committee Of One
9/1(-20%)
(6) Committee Of One 9/1, Hadn't shown much in first 3 starts but caused a 66/1 surprise from 9 lb out of the weights on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 22 days ago. Task is now to back that up here.
5th
5th (2) (5/1 -43%) La Domaniale
5/1(-43%)
(2) La Domaniale 5/1, Successful on only start in France in juvenile hurdle and shaped well on her first outing for this yard after 14 months off when third at Ludlow in November. May well do better on handicap debut.

1st (3) (8.5/1 -127%) Roko George
8.5/1(-127%)
(3) Roko George 8.5/1, Makes some appeal on pedigree and completed an encouraging debut when second in a 5-runner event at Wincanton 36 days ago. This stiffer track should suit, so he's a player.
2
2nd (6) (0.91/1 +34%) Top Of The Bill
0.91/1(+34%)
(6) Top Of The Bill 0.91/1, Fame And Glory gelding who has showed plenty to be placed both outings to date, runner-up over C&D 47 days ago. Should take the beating.
3
3rd (5) (4/1 -33%) The Plimsoll Line
4/1(-33%)
(5) The Plimsoll Line 4/1, Has a reasonable pedigree and fared best of the newcomers when third over C&D on debut. Should have learned from that experience, so looks a player with improvement on the cards.
4
4th (1) (20/1 +20%) Leader Of The Band
20/1(+20%)
(1) Leader Of The Band 20/1, Leading Light gelding. Dam (h74), lightly raced over hurdles, sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m winner) Mrs Hyde out of bumper winner Funny Times.
5th
5th (4) (40/1 -21%) Sake Of Secrecy
40/1(-21%)
(4) Sake Of Secrecy 40/1, No promise at Lingfield on debut and will probably need more time to develop.
6th
6th (7) (300/1 -100%) Doctor Dotty
300/1(-100%)
(7) Doctor Dotty 300/1, Yet to show any ability, so makes no appeal tried in a tongue strap for the first time.
7th
7th (8) (33/1 +67%) Mollyvico
33/1(+67%)
(8) Mollyvico 33/1, Big price and down the field over C&D on debut, so hard to see her getting involved. Tongue strap on 1st time.
|RR|
|RR| (2) (3.5/1 -5%) P T Barnum
3.5/1(-5%)
(2) P T Barnum 3.5/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Not discounted for stable that's well capable of having one ready first time out.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
