Races & Results Thursday 12th October 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Glengeever 2/7, Point winner/dual winner over hurdles who has placed a few times over fences without fully convincing with his jumping or attitude. Again never figured back over hurdles at Warwick 17 days ago and cheekpieces go back on ahead of this return to chasing. 0-6 over fences and has not proved himself over this far; clear second best on form.

2nd (3) (5/2 +92%) Joyful Kit
2.5
5/2(+92%)
(3) Joyful Kit 5/2, Sketchy jumper of hurdles who made the frame on first 2 starts over fences but jumped ponderously and never figured when pulled up in handicap at Worcester (23f) 39 days ago. Stiff task on her hands returned to novice company. 25-race maiden; very stiff task were the other two to show anything like their form.
LTO Selection:
13:40 Exeter Maiden Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
It is hard to get away from COCONUT SPLASH, who stands out on official ratings and can be fancied to lead his two rivals a merry dance at this level. Glengeever is the obvious threat on figures but faces a slight stamina query over this trip. Joyful Kit is rated 48lb inferior to the selection and faces a mammoth task on these terms.
COCONUT SPLASH has long since been expensive to follow over fences but this looks a great opportunity for him to get off the mark. Glengeever can give him most to do.
It's hard to be brimful of confidence but COCONUT SPLASH has much the best form and Glengeever is a clear second best on form.
13:40 Exeter Maiden Chase (Class 3) 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Jeudidee 13/8, Bumper winner who created a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at this course. Creditable third under a penalty at Uttoxeter 23 days ago and he could resume winning ways in a weak race. Won at Worcester and creditable third at Uttoxeter; the hurdles form pick and should stay.
2
2
2nd (2) (5/1 -11%) Amalfi Bay
5
5/1(-11%)
(2) Amalfi Bay 5/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat who went backwards from a mildly promising hurdling debut when sixth in a novice at Worcester four months ago. May yet do better in this sphere. Fair Flat form; made a quite encouraging hurdle debut but flopped next time; had a wind op.
3
5
3rd (5) (5/4 +29%) Post No Bills
1.25
5/4(+29%)
(5) Post No Bills 5/4, Point winner who has developed into a fair chaser after a quiet start over hurdles, winning at Plumpton recently. Strong claims if he can replicate that form back in this sphere. 2022 hurdles form was not of the same order but excellent chance on 2023 chase form.
4
7
4th (7) (18/1 -13%) Go On Ya Goodthing
18
18/1(-13%)
(7) Go On Ya Goodthing 18/1, Showed something more like his bumper debut form at the second time of asking over hurdles when runner-up at Worcester (2m) last week. Goes up in trip now with plenty more needed. 100-1 second at Worcester (2m, good) on latest start but the form is probably modest.
5th
3
5th (3) (200/1 -60%) Bowmans Dream
200
200/1(-60%)
(3) Bowmans Dream 200/1, Well held in novice/maiden hurdles and looks firmly up against it again. Low-level form in two hurdle races at Newton Abbot and one at Worcester.
6th
4
6th (4) (200/1 -60%) Getaway Tothe Wood
200
200/1(-60%)
(4) Getaway Tothe Wood 200/1, No show in 2 completed starts over hurdles at the start of the spring. Showed little in his two hurdle runs in February/March; brought down at the first in May.
6
6
|PU| (6) (14/1 +13%) Ancient Capital
14
14/1(+13%)
(6) Ancient Capital 14/1, Fair Flat winner. 10/3, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago, possibly amiss. Hard to make a strong case for on hurdling bow. Player if best Flat form could be transferred to this sphere.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
POST NO BILLS may be winless in six attempts over hurdles but he arrives in top form following a smooth success at Plumpton over fences last month. This looks like a winnable contest and his experience may be too much for Jeudidee, who struggled under a penalty at Uttoxeter but was a good winner prior to that at Worcester. The Anthony Honeyball stable can do little wrong at present and Amalfi Bay could also have a say in proceedings.
JEUDIDEE has the best hurdling form and is fancied to enhance a good strike rate at the likely expense of Post No Bills, who is a big player based on chasing form. Amalfi Bay is the pick of the rest.
Jeudidee is the clear pick on hurdles form but POST NO BILLS (nap) has been going great guns on good ground over fences.
14:15 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Opening Bid 11/10, Opened his account over fences at Worcester in May and hasn't looked back since, winning 3 of next 4 starts, including at Newton Abbot last month, jumping fluently. Another sound second at Warwick a week ago and he's sure to give it another good go. Beaten off career-high mark last time but he's enjoying a very solid season.
2
3
2nd (3) (11/4 +31%) Pink Eyed Pedro
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(3) Pink Eyed Pedro 11/4, Fairly useful handicap chaser who ended a long losing run after a year off in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell in June. Not seen to best effect when mid-field at Market Rasen the following month and the assessor has given him a major chance returned to fences. Has done well over hurdles since returning from a year out and he's a superior chaser.
3
5
3rd (5) (6/1 -20%) Romanor
6
6/1(-20%)
(5) Romanor 6/1, Dropped below last winning mark but increasingly looks like one who needs everything to drop right given how he's ridden. Others more persuasive. Hasn't been at his best this season and he finished well behind at Warwick last time.
4
4
|F| (4) (9/2 +25%) Kauto The King
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Kauto The King 9/2, Returned to form (on back of second wind operation) when taking 4-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f) last month. That wasn't a strong race and he was brushed aside at Worcester last time. Multiple winner but hard to predict and latest effort was underwhelming.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A winner of four of his last six starts throughout the summer months, OPENING BID sets the standard on form and conditions should be in his favour once more as he looks to continue that terrific run. A determined winner at Newton Abbot over shorter on his penultimate start, Kauto The King is a key player, as well as the veteran Pink Eyed Pedro, who has been plying his trade over the smaller obstacles most recently.
PINK EYED PEDRO is firmly into the veteran stage of his career but he's been given a massive chance by the assessor returned to fences, so he's fancied to cash in. Opening Bid has been in terrific form for some time now so he's the obvious threat.
Most of these struggle with consistency. That's not true of OPENING BID who is having a solid season.
(3) Miss Marette 7/1, Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs but she recorded a good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 12 months ago. Possibilities if fully tuned up for her comeback. 0-15; decent handicap run the last time but that was more than a year ago.
2
6
2nd (6) (6/4 +25%) Newmill Getaway
1.5
6/4(+25%)
(6) Newmill Getaway 6/4, Fair bumper winner who posted a very good second of 8 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 3/1) 24 days ago. Interesting hurdling debutante. Solid and competitive form in bumpers; bred to do well as a jumper.
3
1
3rd (1) (5/1 +44%) Breccia
5
5/1(+44%)
(1) Breccia 5/1, Fair Flat winner who posted a good third of 7 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Much respected now going hurdling. Flat form was an ordinary level but stayed well and could make a jumper.
4
8
4th (8) (14/1 -367%) Vivid Pink
14
14/1(-367%)
(8) Vivid Pink 14/1, Still in need of the experience but showed improved form after 5 months off when second of 5 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 14/1) 67 days ago. Very much one to consider on her hurdles debut. Bumper form nothing to shout about but she's entitled to improve for hurdles.
5th
4
5th (4) (18/1 +55%) Nathan Walker
18
18/1(+55%)
(4) Nathan Walker 18/1, Off 10 months before remote third of 5 in novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, heavy) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Poor in bumpers and ran a moderate first race over hurdles at Newton Abbot.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/2 -64%) Fountainspinklady
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(2) Fountainspinklady 9/2, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Held back by inexperience when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle (11/10) at Worcester (20f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Bumper winner; blinkers are added following an underwhelming hurdling debut.
7
7
|PU| (7) (11/1 -57%) Theweddingcanwait
11
11/1(-57%)
(7) Theweddingcanwait 11/1, Placed in a pair of Worcester bumpers this summer (for Fergal O'Brien first occasion). Tongue tie reached for now switching to hurdles. No forlorn hope. Similar fair form in three bumpers; closely matched with Fountainspinklady.
5
5
|PU| (5) (50/1 -25%) Gorcombe Fizz
50
50/1(-25%)
(5) Gorcombe Fizz 50/1, Bollin Eric filly. Dam maiden hurdler/well held sole start over fences. Market can prove a good guide. First foal; dam prolific point winner (maiden under rules) out of 2m hurdle winner.
LTO Selection:
15:25 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick following a narrow defeat in a Worcester bumper last time, NEWMILL GETAWAY looks a smart prospect for the David Brace stable and she should be primed to strike on her hurdles bow. She can score at the main expense of Fountainspinklady, who wasn't disgraced on her own hurdles debut at Worcester and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Vivid Pink is open to improvement as well on the back of a decent effort at Market Rasen in August.
The market should prove highly informative but NEWMILL GETAWAY brings some fair winning bumper form to the table so is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Fellow newcomers Vivid Pink and Breccia both offer potential too and can chase home David Brace's filly in that order.
If NEWMILL GETAWAY finds some fluency over hurdles, and she's bred to be a jumper, then she looks in pole position on her bumper form.
15:25 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(15) Cawthorne Cracker 16/1, Showed more than he did in a trio of junior hurdles when third on handicap debut back from a break at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Needs to brush up on his jumping but could have a part to play if able to do so. Fared much better when keeping-on third in Southwell handicap (2m, good) a month ago.
2
1
2nd (1) (9/1 +0%) Gerard Mentor
9
9/1(+0%)
(1) Gerard Mentor 9/1, Winner of 3 handicap hurdles at around 2m last season, including over this C&D. Has slipped to a dangerous mark (3 lb lower than for his latest success) but needs to bounce back in a major way following a string of poor performances. Won four times in 2022 but this season is proving a struggle.
3
6
3rd (6) (4/1 +47%) Pittsburg
4
4/1(+47%)
(6) Pittsburg 4/1, In good form in recent months, winning back-to-back handicap over fences at Perth and Market Rasen in August and has found just one too good on each of his last 3 starts, including when returned to this sphere at Uttoxeter last month. Solid each-way chance. In form and considered off this mark, especially with Finn Lambert claiming 5lb.
4
13
4th (13) (12/1 +76%) Marley Head
12
12/1(+76%)
(13) Marley Head 12/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but latest effort in that sphere in August was poor and he hasn't shown much in half-a-dozen runs over hurdles. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement. 0-6 over hurdles and there has been no more than glimmers of promise.
5th
3
5th (3) (4/1 +0%) Bahtiyar
4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Bahtiyar 4/1, Ex-French gelding who remains a maiden in this sphere following 11 attempts. However, positive start for this yard (also first run following a wind op) when runner-up at Stratford (16.3f, good) in August and a line can be drawn through subsequent effort there (saddle slipped). Went close on stable debut and the saddle slipped last time.
6th
11
6th (11) (6/1 -20%) Ten Ten Twenty
6
6/1(-20%)
(11) Ten Ten Twenty 6/1, Has largely struggled since wide-margin Worcester maiden success last summer but returned to form when a close third in a first-time tongue strap at Kelso (2¼m, good) on latest start. Big player off the same mark here if able to back that effort up. Attracted some support when going down narrowly in a 2m2f handicap at Kelso.
7th
9
7th (9) (50/1 +24%) Flamenco De Kerser
50
50/1(+24%)
(9) Flamenco De Kerser 50/1, Successful once from 5 starts between the flags but he's 0-12 under Rules and looks set for another struggle. Best form was in 2021 and has completely lost his way since then; plenty of risks attached.
8th
5
8th (5) (16/1 +11%) Turpin Gold
16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Turpin Gold 16/1, Got off the mark in a Stratford novice last September and posted his best effort since switched to handicaps when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) during the summer. Hasn't matched that in 3 subsequent starts, though, and others make more appeal. 6l down when falling late on at Newton Abbot the final time.
9th
2
9th (2) (6/1 +50%) Ferrybridge
6
6/1(+50%)
(2) Ferrybridge 6/1, Didn't show much for Michael Hourigan in Ireland but shaped with greater promise when fourth in a 13-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) on recent debut for new connections. Possibilities here if able to build on that. Ex-Irish; still lightly raced and ran well for long way at Sedgefield before dropping away.
10th
12
10th (12) (100/1 -25%) Grinn
100
100/1(-25%)
(12) Grinn 100/1, Long-standing maiden who is readily passed over on the back of a heavy defeat at Worcester last month. Longstanding maiden who has finished tailed off in her last two runs.
11th
7
11th (7) (22/1 -120%) Pepsiwithacap
22
22/1(-120%)
(7) Pepsiwithacap 22/1, Bagged a maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland last year and though rather hit-and-miss since, she arrives here on the back of a solid effort at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft). Reproduction of that would give her a fighting chance. Up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest.
12th
14
12th (14) (25/1 -25%) Tally's Son
25
25/1(-25%)
(14) Tally's Son 25/1, Finally opened hurdles account at Stratford in August but failed to fire next time and his profile is too patchy for comfort. Beat the backed Bahtiyar at Stratford but dropped out very tamely once headed at Southwell.
13th
4
13th (4) (66/1 -230%) Happy Company
66
66/1(-230%)
(4) Happy Company 66/1, Doubled his tally in this sphere when seeing off 4 rivals at Fontwell (21.7f, good to firm) in May but ran poorly there last time. Blinkers refitted. Capable handicapper at this level but recent efforts don't bode well.
14th
10
14th (10) (17/2 -42%) Vin Rouge
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(10) Vin Rouge 17/2, Decisive winner at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) and put in a good shift when third of 10 over the same C&D last time, conceding first run to the pair that beat him. Down another 1 lb and he has to enter calculations. Paid the price for winning by 8l at Newton Abbot in June but remains in decent form.
8
8
|PU| (8) (28/1 -75%) Lady Valentine
28
28/1(-75%)
(8) Lady Valentine 28/1, Successful as a 2-y-o on the Flat for Tom Dascombe and placed in handicaps for Hugo Palmer in 2022. No better than modest form since switched to this sphere, though, and has undergone a wind op since her latest start in March. Had wind surgery since poor final run and doesn't look that well in.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a fairly open contest it might be worth taking a chance on CAWTHORNE CRACKER. He must compete from 3lb out of the handicap but his recent handicap debut offered hope that he can make an impact at this level. Pittsburg is a consistent performer and should not be far away, while others to note include Happy Company, Pepsiwithacap and Vin Rouge.
A chance is taken on FERRYBRIDGE, who stepped up on what he showed in Ireland when fourth at Sedgefield on his first start for the James Owen yard. This low-mileage 5-y-o will be a serious contender if able to build on that. Ten Ten Twenty went close at Kelso last month and is feared most off the same mark, while Bahtiyar, the consistent Pittsburg and Vin Rouge are others to consider.
A very open handicap. James Owen is making a name for himself and his new recruit FERRYBRIDGE ran well for a long way at Sedgefield.
(4) Red Happy 0.73/1, Scored 3 times in 2022, bagging handicap chases (including at this course) off much higher marks than this either side of landing the odds in novice hurdle at Southwell. Reverted to fences, back to form when second at Fontwell (26f) 6 days ago and he can go one better. Finally showed more off his reduced mark when chasing home an improver at Fontwell.
2
6
2nd (6) (7/1 +56%) Getthepot
7
7/1(+56%)
(6) Getthepot 7/1, Successful twice in handicap chases in 2022 but little promise this year, including back over hurdles on his last 2 starts having left Fergal O'Brien. Others more persuasive as he returns to chasing. Hasn't been in much form for a while, including on both runs for this yard.
3
2
3rd (2) (3.2/1 +29%) Dan's Chosen
3.2
3.2/1(+29%)
(2) Dan's Chosen 3.2/1, Bounced back to form in refitted cheekpieces when scoring at Newton Abbot (21f) in July, but failed to back up that effort on his next outing. Resumed winning ways when making all at the same C&D last month, though might find it tougher to repeat the same tactics this time. Very in and out but has won two of his last three starts, both of them at Newton Abbot.
4
7
4th (7) (25/1 -525%) Scrumpy Boy
25
25/1(-525%)
(7) Scrumpy Boy 25/1, Has returned to form on his last 2 starts, produced to lead soon after 5 out when getting back to winning ways at Newton Abbot (21f) in July. Respected as he makes first run for yard after leaving Keiran Burke. The front two were nicely on top when edging home at Newton Abbot.
5th
1
5th (1) (14/1 +13%) Hobie
14
14/1(+13%)
(1) Hobie 14/1, Irish point winner who stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when landing a Worcester maiden (2m) in May. However, following 3 months off he struggled in both of his starts in September, so he needs to get back on track as he makes his chasing bow. Highly tried on handicap debut latest but does look on a tough mark for this chasing debut.
8
8
|F| (8) (22/1 -57%) Troed Y Melin
22
22/1(-57%)
(8) Troed Y Melin 22/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark when making a successful reappearance at Warwick (25.4f) in May last year, but his form his gone the wrong way since then. Has plenty to prove after a further 6 months off. No worthwhile form in six starts since his last win in early 2022.
LTO Selection:
16:35 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RED HAPPY found only an unexposed rival too strong at Fontwell six days ago and that effort left the impression that David Pipe's six-year-old is coming into some form. He is now extremely well treated, having won off 27lb higher at this venue in October last year, so it would come as no surprise to see him back in the winner's enclosure. Recent Newton Abbot scorer Dan's Chosen ought to be thereabouts raised just 1lb in the ratings, while Scrumpy Boy heads the remainder.
Having dropped a long way in the weights, RED HAPPY returned to form when runner-up at Fontwell 6 days ago and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Scrumpy Boy was successful at Newton Abbot when last seen in July and is feared most on his stable debut, with Dan's Chosen the pick of the remainder.
This trip is on the short side and they claimed 8lb off him last week at Fontwell, but RED HAPPY is handicapped to win again.
(9) Thahab Ifraj 22/1, Won over hurdles at Fontwell last summer but nothing to shout about in this sphere since and latest Flat effort was also below par. Plenty to find on form. Nearly won at Bath in July but tailed off under both codes since then.
2
3
2nd (3) (11/4 +31%) Nibras Gold
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(3) Nibras Gold 11/4, Won in tidy fashion from the front at Ffos Las in May and hasn't finished any worse than third in 4 outings since, again running to form when second of 6 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Warwick (21f, good) 17 days ago. Others are perhaps better treated but he's not discounted with cheekpieces back on. Continued to run well since his win in May; 2m5f seemed to stretch him last time.
3
6
3rd (6) (5/2 +17%) Copshill Lad
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(6) Copshill Lad 5/2, Yet to really build on the promise of his impressive bumper success but would have finished a clear second when falling late at Fakenham when last seen and worth another try at handicapping after a summer break. In the process of running his best race yet over hurdles when falling late on at Fakenham.
4
2
4th (2) (9/2 -29%) Coolnaugh Haze
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(2) Coolnaugh Haze 9/2, Improved when making a winning start for new yard at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in August and ran respectably from a 10 lb higher mark at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 9 days ago. Can give another good account. Winning start for this yard and following defeat came in a good Class 2 contest.
5th
5
5th (5) (33/1 -230%) Pop The Champagne
33
33/1(-230%)
(5) Pop The Champagne 33/1, Bumper winner who was well placed to land 4-timer in novice hurdles at around 2m for Fergal O'Brien last summer. May well have won at Stratford if jumping better on her penultimate hurdles outing but proved far too free at Uttoxeter last month. Comes with risks attached. Probably in good enough form to make presence felt should the ground remain good.
6th
4
6th (4) (9/1 -6%) Fat Sam
9
9/1(-6%)
(4) Fat Sam 9/1, Took a heavy fall over fences at Newton Abbot on his penultimate outing and was perhaps still feeling those effects when down the field at Uttoxeter last time. Others are easier to fancy on his return to hurdling. Below par chasing last time but after a fall; final hurdle run in May was positive.
7th
7
7th (7) (9/2 +36%) Cabrakan
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(7) Cabrakan 9/2, Successful twice last winter, latterly a Hereford handicap off this mark in February. Back to form when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 9 days ago and isn't taken lightly if usual errors don't prove too much of a hindrance. Consistent in defeat of late and won't be too far away once again.
8th
8
8th (8) (28/1 -40%) Lucky Lover Boy
28
28/1(-40%)
(8) Lucky Lover Boy 28/1, Won 4 times in the first half of last season but hasn't fired over hurdles or fences this term and needs a revival. This time last year he was in a terrific run of form over hurdles; struggling at present.
LTO Selection:
17:10 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having bolted up at Worcester on his penultimate start, COOLNAUGH HAZE was far from disgraced in a class 2 event at Market Rasen the following month. Eased 1lb in the ratings and down in grade, he can get back into the winning groove, possibly at the main expense of Nibras Gold. Pop The Champagne and Fat Sam can battle it out for third.
COOLNAUGH HAZE showed improved form when making a winning debut for James Owen in August and wasn't beaten too far from a much higher mark at Southwell last time, so he appeals as the most solid proposition ahead of Cabrakan, who is more than capable from this kind of mark provided his jumping holds up, whilst Copshill Lad is also intriguing on his second handicap start.
James Owen's COOLNAUGH HAZE appeals most after running well in a better race at Market Rasen 12 days ago.

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.
