Kept some smart company this year, contesting Grade 1 and 2 races throughout the season. Beaten odds-on favourite last time at Cheltenham but that was against an improving rival and he probably wasn't at his best. Looks the one to beat in this line up.
Very highly regarded at one time but strike-rate of one win from 17 starts tells its own story. Pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen and clearly not a straightforward customer; he looks on the downgrade currently.
A record of only one win in 23 starts over fences hardly inspires confidence and official ratings suggest he has a mountain to climb. Connections seem to have spotted an opportunity to grab some place money, much like his run here last week.
Forecasts
Hammersly Lake (4/6), Marracudja (11/10), Next Exit (66/1)
MARRACUDJA looks the one to beat and this exciting front-runner should be hard to peg back. Hammersly Lake is the only other realistic contender but he has been largely disappointing throughout the season and Next Exit is likely to benefit from some shrewd placement and pick up some prize money.
