Exeter

In an open-looking contest, handicap debutant MOUNTAIN MIKE appeals most as he looks the type to do well over fences, especially over this longer trip, despite having an absence to overcome. Kalhandrion could give him most to do if coping with the heavy ground, while Itseemslikeit and Laganhill are capable of bouncing back from disappointing efforts on their most recent outings.
