7.20 Exeter

Sixteen runners line up over three miles and the ones with winning form around the trip are Crank Hill (25f), Bernard (23f) and Arctic Shadow (24f).

Crank Hill runs under a 7 lb penalty as a consequence of a win at Towcester eight days ago. He won very comfortably that day, so looks well treated before the handicapper has chance to react, and he is proven to stay this trip. Although he pulled up on his last visit to this track his last time out win proves he does handle right-handed, testing tracks and he did infact place here over hurdles several years ago.

Bernard won a novices hurdle here in November 2007 but hasn't won since. He has pulled up on both starts here and is passed over after only one start over fences.

Arctic Shadow made his chase debut at Towcester last time out and finished a respectable second. He has been given a rating of 90 for this handicap chase debut but he must improve his jumping to win here. He was a winner of 94 when hurdling, and will get this trip.

Suggested bets:

Crank Hill 11/4 Bet 365, 0.9 pt

Arctic Shadow 12/1 Bet 365, 0.1 pt

Re: Exeter (eve) 5/5/09 6-50 exeter-mister gloss-e/way the last 2 races he as run in have been in very competitive handicaps,so with a less daunting mission here good chance that he could bounce back,even though his last winning mark was 5lb lower than todays so at a fair price given an e.way chance
