2m½f (2m161y) trustatrader.com Novices’ Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+)
I’ve got to have a to at Regent’s Stroll here as his Challow run looked to put a ceiling on his hurdling ability and he was once again keen and unprofessional. Back down to two miles there’s going to be much more emphasis on speed and I’m going to take a chance on ALEXEI having too much of it. He was a good flat horse winning three times in Germany and is 2/2 over hurdles, both at Taunton. A beautiful mover, he ran a final furlong at a rapid 13.08 seconds (good ground) last time out, and he looks the speediest horse in the race as that’s faster than the favourite has ever gone. He’s got Grade 1 entries at Cheltenham and the Tizzard yard is in good form.
1pt win Alexei @13/2, 14:30 Exeter, Sunday
