Exeter Race 1 - Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
DEVON DUDE (1) showed plenty of potential a month ago when a neck second in this hurdle grade over 3800m at Taunton. Finds straightforward assignment to go one place better. Leading contender. STAR ARTIST (2) placed third in a 3200m jumpers flat race at Southwell before a decent hurdle debut fifth tackling 3000m at Wincanton. Improvement likely. LAND GIRL'S LUCK (3) can fill third spot.

Useful gelding. Last run finished second of 12 runners at Taunton on February 18 over 3800m, a neck behind Duffry Trixs carrying 72.5kg at $6.50. Before that finished seventh of 10 starters at Windsor on January 19 over 4000m, on slow going 20 len behind Guard Duty carrying 71kg at $21. Continues to make headway. Ideally placed return to winning form.

At only start last preparation finished third of 9 runners at Southwell on December 3 over 3200m, 10 len behind One Knight carrying 69.5kg at $3.50. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
