National Hunt Racing > Tuesday April 15th

[Aidymac]

Exeter 2:30 Alan King has two horses in this very competitive handicap and with the stable in such great form at the moment, no horse of his should be 25/1 in a handicap. This horse Forresters Folly is very interesting coming back over hurdles, he was sent chasing at the back end of last year but he didn't take to them and was pulled up in one race and fell in the other. He beat some good horses in a Class 4 maiden at Ascot in April last year so this month could be the time to catch him. Alan King has a very tidy record around Exeter and I am not bothered that Jack Doyle is on top instead of Choc Thornton. I genuinely think he will see a much better performance over hurdles tomorrow and 25/1 looks too big. Forresters Folly WIN @ 25/1 Sky Bet

Re: National Hunt Racing > Tuesday April 15th 3.00 Exeter - 2pts win Jayandbee @ 9/2 (PP) Likeable type who looks sure to run his race and conditions look spot on for him to get back in front this afternoon. Stayed on dourly to win at Ludlow in November and then only just got run out of things here over four miles next time. This trip today of 3m6f looks absolutely spot on and he ran well after a three month break behind a thriving animal when less seen. Perhaps lacked the fitness edge of that one there and the ground may have been a touch on the slow side. Prefers it to be good which he gets today and looks primed for another big run. 3.35 Exeter - 1pt win Quaddick Lake @ 16/1 (Ladbrokes) A well-handicapped individual at the top of the weights may be getting on a bit now but shaped with some promise on his final run for Jeremy Scott last time out. Made progress into midfield there in a hotter race than this and this would be his easiest assignment for some time, dropping into a 0-115 affair. He's a winner around here who handles any ground and gets stronger handling this afternoon. Scott's yard have been quiet all season so he can be excused for not running his best this campaign but can improve now switched yards and with the tongue-tie applied. Shaped as if potentially running back into form last time and now eased in grade he's worth chancing at a nice price. 4.10 Exeter - 3pts win Gores Island @ 7/2 (Hills) Speedy Bruere would have a chance but represents a yard in poor form and that one can be swerved. Gary Moore's horse looks to have a huge chance of landing the spoils here who has bumped into two progressive horses the last twice. He's off a winning hurdling mark and looks capable of matching that standard over the larger obstacles. Can be excused for not competing successfully in a hot hurdle in January but has bounced back with two good chase runs when second at this track. The first was behind a horse landing a hat-trick and looking like progressing to better things and last time ran behind the useful Daymar Bay (good effort off 12lbs higher next time). My selection runs off the same mark now and now out of novice handicap company I don't see one of those proving as progressive as either of the winners of the last twice. Can get his head in front this time.
