This can go to the unbeaten MR HUDSON. He stepped up on a Newton Abbot bumper win when striking on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m5f here in November and there could be a great deal of further improvement to come. Accordintolawrence showed a likeable attitude when striking on his first start over timber at this venue 43 days ago and should put up a good fight, while Lord Liath and Filbert make up the shortlist.

It could pay to side with PIROULET in what looks an open race. Philip Hobbs' gelding showed plenty of encouraging signs when fourth on his hurdling debut at Ludlow in November and is entitled to know a lot more about the game now. Bermuda Boy ran well in a 'jumpers' bumper at Kempton 11 days ago and commands respect back over the sticks, while Magic Marmalade is worthy of consideration having won a point-to-point event on his latest day trip in May last year.

HOLYROOD produced his best effort since tackling hurdles when runner-up over 2m3f here last time and, entitled to improve further for this extra yardage, he gets the vote to go one better. Baby Car performed honourably over an extended 2m5f at the track latest and should also benefit from climbing in trip, while Musical Wedge wasn't disgraced on his most recent outing at Hereford and is no forlorn hope.

Advisor is sure to arrive here full of confidence after his game success in an all-weather bumper at Kempton last time and should mount a bold bid back over timber, but SALDEN LICHT looks the one to beat. He ran the useful Captain Chris to less than 4-lengths on his latest hurdles outing at Cheltenham in April last year and has performed to a high standard in two starts on the level since. Karasenir is expected to run his usual solid race.

JUST THE JOB has won his last two races with the minimum amount of fuss and, despite a further 18lb hike in the handicap, he will be fancied to complete the hat-trick. Mic's Delight has shaped promisingly in both starts so far this season and seems sure to give another good account, while Castlerock is nicely weighted and cannot be left out of calculations on his debut in handicap company.

15:25 Exeter (Class 5) (4YO plus)

ACOSTA bumped into a tartar when when proving little match for the progressive Bellflower Boy at Huntington in November but that effort represented an upward curve in his recent form and he remains well enough handicapped at present to suggest he can land the spoils today. Cash Back was in good heart when last sighted in the summer and can be expected to take close order on his return to action, while Spanish Cruise is worth a second look in the preliminaries on his return from a lengthy break.

16:00 Exeter (Class 6) (4YO to 6YO)

MORGAN'S BAY made a debut full of promise when finishing second in a well contested bumper at Aintree back in the spring and with the promise of more to come, he is entitled to prove a tough nut to crack this afternoon. Connections of Glizty D'Ocala will be keen to set the record straight after he was thrown out having passed the post in front at Chepstow, although the likes of Billy Merriott, second in each of his two starts so far, and Towcester runner-up Bardolf can both be expected to get closely involved again.
