13:58 Exeter - 5 December 2025 - Results - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A very useful handicap but it's hard to side against Joe Tizzard's U CANT BE SERIOUS who made light of a 9-month absence when an impressive scorer on his chasing bow over C&D and looks the sort to go on improving for a while yet. Donnacha arrives at the top of his game and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way, while Royal Jewel and Harper's Brook can't be discounted either.

  1. U CANT BE SERIOUS (IRE)
  2. DONNACHA (IRE)
  3. ROYAL JEWEL (IRE)
