Exeter Race 4 - Guildhall Exeter, Shop, Eat, Play EBF Junior 'National Hunt' Hurdle (GBB Race)
MWABANI (6) has already run to a fair level of form both starts finishing runner up twice including over course and distance on debut back in November. Could find this a perfect opportunity to get off the mark. MISTRAL ST GEORGES (5) was too keen early in his debut effort at Newbury during February pressing the leaders only to fall two hurdles from home. Harry Cobden is booked. One to note. DAKOTA STAR (1) received wind surgery after his debut. Finished third again at Taunton last time. Place claims. DOHA RALLY (2) arrives unraced representing the Warren Greatrex stable who is having a fine season with their juveniles. Market check advised. Something for the Multiples: DON'T REIN ME IN (3)

Having third race start. Was promising at debut finished third in a small field at Hereford on November 3 over 3200m, 9 len behind Planters Punch with 70kg at $2.50. Returned from break finished third of 8 starters at Taunton on March 9 over 3300m, 8 len behind Mecene carrying 68.5kg at $7.50. Hard to beat with added fitness.

Four-year-old gelding (Doha Dream - Trasimene) making his debut. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.

Third-up today. First-up finished tenth of 16 runners at Cheltenham in the LR on January 1 over 3400m, 45 len behind Solly's Gold with 70kg at $34. Second-up ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 10 starters at Hereford on February 22 over 3200m, on slow going 6 len behind Tythingman with 71kg at $4.30. Open to improvement and comes into calculations.

Having third race start. Was promising at first race start made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at this track on November 23 over 3300m, 2.5 len behind Tenter Le Tout carrying 70kg at $1.90. Returned from break came from midfield; finished second in a small field at Chepstow on February 13 over 3200m, slow track; 1.75 len behind Aqua Bleu with 70kg at $3.80. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with ran on from midfield; finished eighth of 12 runners at Wincanton on November 20 over 3000m, 10 len behind Bailly's Comet carrying 70kg at $41 and before that finished sixth of 8 runners at Ludlow on November 6 over 3200m, 19 len behind Crack Ops with 70kg at $21. Not likely to threaten here.

Raced twice to date. At long odds at debut, made ground from midfield; finished ninth of 14 runners at Kempton Park on February 2 over 3200m, 43 len behind Lover Desbois with 65.5kg at $51. Second-up ran last at Hereford on February 22 over 3200m, slow track; 53 len behind Tythingman with 67.5kg at $34. This looks a bridge too far.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign didn't finish the race at Wincanton December 4 over 3000m. First ever start ran 5 of 7 runners at this track October 21 over 2600m, 5.5 len behind La Luna Artista with 70kg at $6. Fitness an issue. Best watched once again.
