50/1
Six of his seven career starts have come at Newton Abbot, and he was a debut bumper scorer there in July 2015. Has faced some tough tasks over hurdles, but a similar story looks likely here on chasing debut. One for handicaps in time.

7/4
Unbeaten in bumpers, and proved himself as a capable handicap hurdler (found wanting in novice company). His best effort was when runner up at Kempton in December (2m5f), and his trainer has found the ideal race in which to start off over fences.

8/13
Made a splash over hurdles in early 2016 winning his first two starts here at Exeter and at Uttoxeter (2m7f), but was quiet last term after starting off life over fences beaten by Arpege D'Alene at Aintree (3m1f, November). More to offer.

12/1
Bumper winner who has made her mark over hurdles at Market Rasen over the summer months by adopting free running tactics. She took a 2m4f novices hurdle in July by 8L, before being collared late on by Mizen Master in August. Chasing debut.

Forecasts

Wotzizname (8/13), Coastal Tiep (7/4), Pomme (12/1), Arthur Burrell (50/1)

16:20 Exeter - 12 October 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

To all intents and purposes, barring accidents this contest is effectively a match. Things didn't quite go fully to plan for WOTZIZNAME last season, but the suspicion is that he probably has slightly more to offer over fences than Coastal Tiep. The latter is a complete newcomer to the chasing ranks, and whilst a fair sort, he was found slightly wanting in the better novice hurdles last season. Therefore, with the benefit of some experience of chasing, coupled with an Exeter (hurdles) success on his CV, the Harry Fry trained runner is a much more confident pick.
  1. Wotzizname
  2. Coastal Tiep
  3. Pomme
