Verdict

A wide open stayers handicap chase, but a race in which a number of horses are well above their last winning handicap marks, so that should help to whittle down those with winning chances somewhat. Plenty of these runners bring strong previous Exeter form into the race, not least Vieux Lille who was unbeaten in three starts over hurdles here, and dual C&D winner (fences) Umberto D'olivate. However, of those who have potentially more to offer, we must consider the Kim Bailey trained Dueling Banjos, and the well handicapped Bangor winner CERNUNNOS. The Tom George trained seven-year-old was rejuvenated by the blinkers latest, galloping on strongly from the final fence, and a subsequent 7lb rise in the weights isn't enough to stop him following up with Barry Geraghty taking over from Paddy Brennan in the saddle.
