7/1
Already a dual hurdles winner at Taunton and Exeter in February. Not disgraced at Worcester 3 months ago but needs more if he's to defy this mark.

Five-time winner last season and back to form when runner-up at Newbury a month ago. Likely to make her presence felt.

22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. T. R. Dreaper. Doesn't make much appeal.

Ended last season over hurdles on a high, winning handicaps at Fontwell and this course. Best effort over fences when third in the mud back here on New Year's Day and 1 lb lower returned to timber.

Dual Flat winner who opened hurdles account in good style and followed up in similarly decisive fashion at Sandown. Has a 14-month absence to overcome, but he's worthy of interest.

11/4
Bumper winner who has got firmly on track in handicaps this season, off the mark at Leicester (15.5f) and building on that to record a facile success at Ffos Las (15.8f) late last month. Assessor applies further pressure but he may yet have more to offer.

Was in the process of showing improved form when falling at this course last time and could make an impact if able to build on it.

18/5
Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Easily best effort so far over hurdles when third in a novice at Taunton 23 days ago. Looks potentially well treated off 105 with cheekpieces back on.

Lightly-raced maiden under NH Rules who despite still looking a bit raw, running best race when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Hereford (21.7f) in November. Disappointing both starts since, though.

Won 3 times last season, latest at Carlisle in February. Often looks hard work but he went with a lot more zest when runner-up in a 16.7f course handicap 22 days ago.

Consistent performer who scored at Exeter in December and backed it up with a good 8¼ lengths third of 15 to Fame And Fun in handicap hurdle at Taunton 33 days ago. Not taken lightly.

13:00 Exeter - 1 February 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

PLEASANT MAN is well treated on Flat form off a mark of 105 and looks the one to beat after an encouraging third at Taunton. Hat-trick seekers Colonial Empire and Naturally High are both dangers.
