Exeter Race 5 - Celebrate At Hawke Barn Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)
A DEFINITE GETAWAY (1) ended last year with consistent form that included a runner-up effort tackling a 4800m handicap chase at Doncaster. Won at this venue in October. Top chance on return. UP THE STRAIGHT (2) is a four-time career winner. Lightly raced this season and finds ideal opportunity to show best form. Improvement likely. CASTLE DARAGH (3) brings two wins and two placings from ten outings. Might feature. IMPERIAL STORM (4) can fill fourth spot.
