Twelve runs since last win in 2019, but he posted respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on now and needs bit more if he's to end losing run.

Ungenuine type who is now thirteen runs without a win. 9/1, only twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) 10 days ago so others appeal more.

Without a win since 2018, and he beat only one in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Perth (23.9f, good) 31 days ago. Down in trip but still hard to fancy.

Dual bumper winner who hinted at promise when in frame first two runs over hurdles before (9/4) only eighth of 12 on handicap bow at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft).7 months ago. May still do better.

Landed claiming hurdle at Southwell and not disgraced when third of 13 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 9 days ago, though looked awkard under pressure. Course winner but none too reliable.

Hinted at promise before (cheekpieces on) last of 7 in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f) on final run for David Dennis. Into handicaps on return for new yard off good mark so not without interest.

16/1 and back in cheekpieces, improved to win 13-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 16 days ago. Up 6 lb but headgear retained so she's well worth considering.

13:30 Exeter - 8 October 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive handicap in which a chance is taken on the lightly raced AVOID DE MASTER. He hinted at promise last term and starts this season on a workable mark for his new trainer Fergal O'Brien so gets the vote. Espalion heads the list of dangers, although both Minella Mojo and How's The Cricket are two who are also sure to make their presence felt in an intiguing opener.

  1. AVOID DE MASTER (IRE)
  2. ESPALION (FR)
  3. MINELLA MOJO (IRE)
