The Philip Hobbs and Johnson White stable is going well so TINY TETLEY gets the vote to make a winning reappearance under a rider who has made a big splash in the conditional ranks this autumn. Kick Up A Storm and Kiss My Face arrive in form and will ensure the selection doesn’t get things all his own way.

PLAY SMARTER
While cases can realistically be made for each member of the quintet, MOORLAND RAMBLER, a winner over hurdles here in 2023, is the clear pick from a handicapping standpoint. Indeed, hewas fourth inthis race 12 months ago on his sole previoustryoverthistrip and is 12lb lowerintheweightsthistime round.Jack Sprat made an encouraging enough start overfences at Wetherby and he is second choice ahead of Getupearly
Probable S.P’s: 4-6 Maldini Milano (IRE), 6-4 Seymourjohn (GB), 40-1 Sure To Be Sure (IRE) PLAY
MALDINI MILANO is bred to need further but should have enough ability to make a winning debut. Point-winner Seymourjohn is the obvious danger

EMERGENCY EVACUATION
Whilst we always endeavour to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is, therefore, important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. We employ Safety Officials whose job it is to ensure your safety In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the Stands, announcements will be broadcast and the Officials will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the enclosure quickly and quietly under their guidance.
The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. It may give you peace of mind if you pre-plan and agree a meeting place with your party, just in case you become separated. If we are unable to re-occupy the Stands for any reason, you will be advised immediately, and, if it is considered safe to do so, you will be invited to return to your car or coach.
These are precautionary arrangements which we trust will not be required.
However, in the event of an emergency please remember; Take your belongings with you and under direction of the officials proceed quickly and quietly to the safe area then to your agreed rendezvous point or to your car or coach.
HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE
The Racecourse would be grateful if you would observe all Health & Safety requirements whilst you are at Exeter Racecourse The emergency exits from the bars onto the grandstand steppings are painted yellow and we would request that you do not stop whilst in this area.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE
The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine BHA Officials ensure that racecourses deliver these standards. In addition Exeter Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in
the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
