Exeter 01/01/08

2.25 - This 3m on soft going has a tendancy to fall to a horse with previous experience over Course , Distance and Going. Also another couple of stats to consider is that ALL previous 7 winners were aged between 7-9 y-old and 5 were in the top 4 in the weights. CHARLIES FUTURE could reward at decent EW odds. It's record over 3m on soft/heavy in Class 4 races is - unp , F , 2 , 5 , F , 2. Now i realise that those aren't particularly awesome figures but if you consider that the 2 races it fell in , both times it was at the last when in with a chance of winning [ according to RP ] :hope and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Re: Exeter 1/1/8 2.40 Lodge Lane 15 pts. There are some unknowns in this race and with the extra weight this one could find it hard but talent wise this one has it in very raw amounts. Cheltenham bumper run was very wild and it ran so much further then many others yet was midfield following good runs in seemingly preferable softer conditions. Hurdle debut showed more promise when it won possible a shade somfortably on ground it may have not liked too much. Softer ground today should help and could defy weight it carries over others including CForrest Pennant. 2.25 Saunders Road 10 pts A decent hurdler and won over fences lto. Tbh lto I never thought it was going to win. It was being scrubbed along for a long time and was a long way back before staying on strongly to win possibly fortunately. It struggled to go with the early pace that day and an increased trip should be a huge bonus today considering the style of the Bangor run. 4.05 Sassanias 15 pts Gets into the bumper with less weight and despite unknown quantity about much of the field, this one has shaped with lots of promise when fancied on debut bumper race that I reckon was a good race (see Lady Cricket) Just second when further over from the scramble on the near side it showed a fair level of ability, should improve, stable doing well in bumpers and handy weight.
