Exeter Preview Evening Notes

Panel were Paul Nicholls, Farry Hindlay, Andrew King, David Pipe, Philip Hobbs and Paddy Power. (Nick Williams also in the crowd and spoke about his horses)

Supreme Novices
PFN Dunguib hard to beat, Pepe Simo e/w chance on good ground.
HF Thinks Dunguib is a cert and is basically lumping on.
Pipe Dunguib hard to beat, thinks GMOOH and his horse Dan Breen could be good e/w chances.

Arkle Chase
PN Really sweet on Woolcombe Folly if good ground, cant have Somersby, said he beat a horse of his by 1 1.2 lengths that he wouldnt even consider for this. Tataniano needs good ground, could wait for Aintree.
HF Thinks Long Run could/should go for this and would win.

Champion Hurdle
PN Really happy with Celestial Halo prep (surprisingly quite bullish), thinks Khyber Kim is a BIG danger.
HF Wants Dunguib to go for this and would back him. Very negative about Punjabi, cant have it at all and thinks last years form is crap.

Neptune Investments Hurdle
Paddy P Said Weld is very sweet on Rite Of Passage.
HF Very negative about Reve De Sivola, but likes Finians Rainbow
Nick Williams Said RDS has a great chance of placing, (big e/w chance), but think everything has to go his way to win and needs to jump better.
PN Ghizao e/w

Champion Chase
PN Thinks Twist Magic is Master Mindeds biggest danger. He cant have Kalahari King after he was thrashed by TM at Sandown.
HF Ruby told him on Saturday after he schooled him that only a fall could stop Master Minded think hes a cert.
Pipe Thinks Master Minded wins easily. Happy to let Well Chief run

RSA Chase
PN Probably no runners unless The Nightingale wins easily on Saturday, thinks Long Run is a machine, but jock a slight worry. AP McCoy schooled Punchestowns and told Nicholls after the Sandown race that Punchestowns is a 2m4f horse, Nicholls agrees and worries about Punchestowns staying well.
Hobbs Thinks its between the two Henderson runners, mainly Long Run.
HF Tried to buy Long Run, but as part of deal had to stay and run in France for a while, so fell through, but he thinks LR is the real deal and will win the Gold Cup in two years time. Basically think hes a certainty. Jock is a worry though. Thinks Bensalem should have beaten Diamond Harry and would like him for this.
N Williams - Feltham performance best novice chase performance he has ever seen in 30 years of racing. Really negative about Diamond Harry imo, thinks Bensalem should have beaten him and will need to jump better in the RSA to have a chance.

Champion Bumper
Paddy P Weld said - Smullen rides Hidden Universe and McNamara rides Elegant Concorde and is sweet on both of them. They are both Melbourne Cup horses too! JP McManus allegedly offered connections of Drumbaloo 250 k for the horse and they turned it down, thinks 25/1 is a massive price. Also said that Mullins wasnt very confident about his chances
PN Negative about Al Ferof, needs softish ground and tbh didnt sound too keen on running him, but owner wants to.

Ryanair Chase
PN Very sweet on Poquelin on good ground, but must have good ground. Thinks Tranquil Sea is the one on soft ground.
Hobbs Bit hesitant on Planet of Sounds chances after the fall.
HF Cant have VPU at all, thinks hes gone at the game.

World Hurdle
PN Big Bucks big chance (obviously).
HF Thinks BB is a cert, but Tidal Bay is also a cert to finish second and should be second fav.
Pipe Thinks Mr Thriller is too big and you can ignore last run, e/w chance, owner has backed him.
Hobbs Fair Along could be gone

Albert Bartlett
Paddy P Enterprise Park intended Mullins runner and 10/1 is too big. Also keen on Shinrock Paddy.
Pipe Chartreux his runner
PN Najaf intended runner

Triumph Hurdle
Pipe Quite keen on Notus De La Tour (Also could be his Imperial Cup runner)
HF Had very negative vibes from Ireland about Alaivan, said he was too light (whatever that means). Thinks Carlito is a certainty to be placed.
PN Bullish about Advisor, quite similar to Celestial Halo.

Gold Cup
Pipe Two horse race he reckons. Madison wont run.
HF Thinks Kauto very hard to beat, but if someone can, Denman can. Denman could run in blinkers. Cant have Cooldine at all and will be laying him in the w/o big two market big time. Tricky Trickster without the big two.
PN Same as what hes said in the paper, but very bullish that Tricky Trickster would come third. Dont rule out Imperial Commander.

National Hunt Novices Chase
PN Massasoit runner, R Mahon rides
Pipe Fairly bullish about The Sliotar

Pertemps
HF Alfie Sherrin a probable runner, going straight there, fautless and very good form.
PN Alfie very hard to train but very talented.
Pipe Buena Vista on the same mark as last years second.
Hobbs Triggerman best chance

William Hill Chase
PN Ruby rides The Tother One
Hobbs Monkerhostin e/w chance
Pipe The Package could run, or Our Vic who Danny Cook is sweet on.

Coral Cup
PN Beshabar only runner
Pipe Mamlook probable best chance
Hobbs Pretty sweet on Wishfull Thinking for this, seemed to really rate this horse.

Jewson
Nicholls Rivaliste, Five Dream and Take The Breeze his intended runners.

Martin Pipe Race
Pipe Ashkazar and Mutual Friend probably best chances.

£200 Charity Bet
HF Dunguib/Big Bucks/Master Minded treble
Nicholls Poquelin
Andrew King Mille Chief
Pipe Long Run
Hobbs Long Run
