Exeter Race 1 - Best Odds Guaranteed Overnight At Copybet Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
LISBANE PARK (3) was a stylish winner over course and distance making stable debut in a good novice hurdle. Held his form well on two starts since. Tough ask under a penalty but looks above average and could prove hard to stop. DOCTOR BLUE (1) found success at Ascot two starts back then disappointed seven weeks ago at Doncaster. Now wears cheek pieces for the first time. Dangerous to dismiss. KAPITEIN KOOL (2) proved his Newton Abbot win was no fluke producing two solid efforts since. Hard to fault. MAXIMUM BENEFIT (5) wasn't disgraced on debut however struggled since. Best watched for the future.

Useful type. Freshened for 43 days. Last run held ground to the line finished second of 7 runners at Taunton on January 8 over 3800m, 3 len behind Calvino with 75.5kg at $4. Before that finished second of 12 starters at this track on November 17 over 3300m, 2 len behind Harry Lowes with 73kg at $13. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Racing well. Freshened for 33 days. Last outing ran on from midfield; finished third of 9 starters at Windsor on January 18 over 4000m, slow track; 6 len behind Scorpio Rising carrying 74.5kg at $10. Run before came from midfield; finished fourth of 10 runners at Cheltenham on December 12 over 3400m, 18 len behind Old Park Star carrying 72.5kg at $8.50. Continues to make headway. Looks very hard to beat.
