Exeter Race 6 - Oddschecker Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
FINE TUNING (2) hails from a stable who maintain a brilliant strike rate in this sphere. Ran with significant promise on debut at Wincanton two months ago and is sure to improve. Respect. INK BLACK HEART (3) made a satisfactory debut for Dan Skelton at Wetherby in January when only denied by 2L. Progression almost certain and looks hard to beat. RIVER KWAI (7) will be aiming to give Paul Nicholls only his second jumpers flat winner of the season. He is well related and looks a solid chance on paper. MIGHTY ZEUS (6) is a newcomer from the Hobbs and White stable who warrants a market check making debut.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Having had just one run last preparation won by 10 len Toomebridge P2p on October 4 over 4828m on heavy going defeating Fortis Et Liber with 60kg in a jumps. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Loughrea P2p on May 11 over 4828m. Definite threat.

Was well supported at debut, finished second of 10 runners at Wincanton on January 15 over 3000m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Trojan Tale with 73.5kg at $2.80. Open to improvement. Will be tough to beat on what he showed last time.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last campaign finished second of 15 starters at Wetherby on December 27 over 3200m, slow track; 2 len behind A Likeable Rogue with 71kg at $6. First up last campaign came from midfield; finished fourth of 12 runners at Wincanton on January 16 2025 over 3000m, 3.5 len behind Bossman Jack with 67.5kg at $12. Good run on the flat last time and expected to measure up.

At debut, finished eighth of 10 runners at Wincanton on January 15 over 3000m, on a wet track; 20 len behind Trojan Tale carrying 73.5kg at $7. Hard to see him featuring in the finish.

Five-year-old gelding by Arctic Cosmos out of Inter Alia has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last preparation finished seventh of 9 runners at Warwick on December 31 over 3200m, 69 len behind Risky Obsession with 67.5kg at $41. First up last campaign finished seventh of 8 starters at Aintree on October 26 over 3410m, 33 len behind Edith Pelham with 70.5kg at $19. This might test her.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished tenth of 14 starters at Wincanton on February 25 over 3000m, 39 len behind Nathannah with 71kg at $201. Have to look elsewhere on the back of that.
