The 2.05 at Exeter looks a competitive handicap at first glance and although there are a couple I like, I can’t get away from the claims of KURAKA for the Jeremy Scott yard. I unfortunately backed him last time when he suffered a complete blow out at Warwick and simply ran too bad to be true. If you look at his earlier form at Newbury where the first and second have since advertised the form then you simply have to back him today. That form looks a level above to what his rivals have achieved so far and if he can bounce back to that form then surely he goes close here despite top weight. The good ground shouldn’t pose too much of a problem and the stiff 2 miles here should be right up his street also.
Steady Away is unexposed but his jumping will have to improve to figure whilst Perfect Predator is dropping to a dangerous mark and is another to keep an eye on.
