Timeform Shortlist: Exeter, Tuesday October 20

14:10 Racing UK Profits Returned To Racing Amateur Riders' Novices' Hurdle (4) 2m7f25y

Timeform Top-Rated:
130p 2. THE EAGLEHASLANDED Paul Nicholls Mr W. Biddick
129 1. FOR 'N' AGAINST David Pipe Mr D. G. Noonan (3)
106 6. LILBOURNE LEGACY David Pipe Mr T. Greatrex (7)

Analyst's Verdict: The Eaglehaslanded did well when reeling in a pair of more experienced rivals to get off the mark over hurdles at Chepstow in March, and looks the type to do better now stepping up even further in trip, so he can give his trainer/jockey combination another success in this event. For 'N' Against looks the obvious danger.

14:40 Ilfracombe Food Service Handicap Hurdle (4) 2¼m111y

Timeform Top-Rated:
123 1. DRIFTER Harry Whittington Paul N. O'Brien (7)
122§ 5. CRUISE IN STYLE Kevin Bishop James Best
121 4. CHAKISTO Katie Stephens Nick Scholfield

Analyst's Verdict: Drifter and Bulletproof arrive in terrific heart as they are on winning sequences and could be the pair to focus on, the former appealing as the better handicapped. Prince of Poets is strictly weighted to reverse form with Bulletproof, so has to be of interest too.

15:10 Racing UK Anywhere Novices' Hurdle (4) 2m175y

Timeform Top-Rated:
138p 1. ABIDJAN Paul Nicholls Sam Twiston-Davies
121 2. HIJA Gail Haywood Alice Mills (5)

Analyst's Verdict: Abidjan is burdened with a double penalty on the back of his facile C&D success earlier this month, and he looks the way to go in a race lacking strength in depth. Linguine may well emerge as the chief threat at this stage.

15:45 Betfred Mobile Handicap Chase (3) 3m54y

Timeform Top-Rated:
141? 7. BERTIE'S DESIRE Oliver Sherwood Leighton Aspell
139 6. FRUITY O'ROONEY Gary Moore Jamie Moore
139§ 2. DURSEY SOUND Jonjo O'Neill Richard Johnson

Analyst's Verdict: Border Breaker has taken well to fences and looks open to more improvement than his rivals after just 3 outings over the larger obstacles. Dursey Sound would be a big threat if backing up his win last month, while Adrenalin Flight should prove all the better for his recent spin over hurdles.

16:15 Racing Uk Day Pass Just £10 "Junior" Standard Open National Hunt Flat (6) 1m5f38y

Timeform Top-Rated:
97 2. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE Mark Pitman Denis O'Regan

Analyst's Verdict: Russian Approval boasts a smart pedigree and is a rare runner in this sphere for William Knight, so she looks worth chancing to make a winning debut, with Richard Johnson a good jockey booking. Water Willow is another interesting newcomer and she is just preferred for the forecast spot ahead of Golden Gate Bridge.

16:50 Betfred Best Mate Beginners' Chase (4) 2m1f109y

Timeform Top-Rated:
138 1. CHASE THE WIND Warren Greatrex Gavin Sheehan

Analyst's Verdict: Dragon's Den and Chase The Wind are of similar merit over hurdles so this isn't an easy match to call. The former isn't really a chaser on looks or pedigree, but returned with an excellent second over timber, and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere.
