German-breds to score?

German-breds did very well over jumps last week - Iolith and Shot from the Hip were particularly impressive - and we expect more winners today. At Exeter, Fight Club (Bernard Llewellyn/ Isobell Tompsett) runs in the novice hurdle at 14.15 CET. This one time group winner has not troubled the judge in his two N.H. starts so far, but with more routine we think he could be involved in the finish today, as could his stable companion Salontyre in the handicap hurdle over the same trip an hour later. However the one to beat here is clearly top-weight Saldenlicht (Alan King/ Wayne Hutchinson), a classy performer who was listed class on the flat for Baron Ullmann.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Mr Hudson - Accordintolawrence - Lord Liath
2. Race: Piroulet - Bermuda Boy - Magic Marmalade
3. Race: Holyrood - Baby Car - Musical Wedge
4. Race: Karasenir - Advisor - Warne`S Way
5. Race: Just The Job - Mic`S Delight - Laustra Bad
6. Race: Cash Back - Spanish Cruise - Immense
7. Race: Glitzy D`Ocala - Morgan`S Bay - Billy Merriott




At Fakenham, Lucy Wadham, who does well wth her German-breds, can take the opening maiden hurdle at 13.00 with Aviador (Leighton Aspell) and the same connections can follow up with Super Directa in the handicap hurdle at 14.10 if he is not too rusty after a long layoff.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Sire De Grugy - Aviador - Glorybe
2. Race: Celticello - National Trust - Knight Legend
3. Race: Rumble Of Thunder - Mangham - All For Free
