Exeter Race 1 - Book Haldon Gold Cup Hospitality Novices' Selling Hurdle
LAND AFAR (1) produced a promising 4L second two outings ago over 4000m at Huntingdon. Finds ideal opportunity to bounce back. Leading chance. DENZIL (4) finished 18L third contesting a four-runner 3200m handicap hurdle last Thursday at Warwick. Represents a notable stable and can improve further. Makes for appeal. KINTARO (2) showed ability when 3L fourth in a 3800m handicap hurdle at Taunton. Big claims. BRECCIA (5) rates next best.
