Exeter Race 1 - Sandygate Inn, Kingsteignton 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
OUR GUIDE (4) scored on her debut for previous connections and stayed on from off the pace on debut for this stable last month at Wetherby. Looks to have enough ability to account for this field. OCTOBER HILL (5) remains a maiden after ten starts and was only 4L down in a first time tongue strap at Ludlow last month. Rates highly and must be respected. GETONE (1) offered little in Ireland but no disgraced when too keen in a selling novice hurdle here ten days ago. One for handicaps further down the line. GRANPA GER (2) hasn't been seen since finishing fifth at Ludlow in November. Exposed but this is realistic.

Having second run back today. Last run finished third of 8 runners at this track on April 7 over 3700m, 36 len behind American Trio with 71kg at $12. At only start last preparation finished sixth of 8 starters at Tramore on October 9 over 3218m, 24 len behind Cousin Kate with 75.5kg at $15. Definite chance. Worth consideration.

Jumped at very big odds at debut, ran last at Wincanton on March 5 over 3000m, 96 len behind Nevada Samba carrying 71kg at $251. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here following first up effort.
