The Bathwick Tyres Marathon Handicap
Chase (3.00) at Exeter on Tuesday isn’t a strong contest for the
grade and may provide Adrenalin Flight with an opportunity to
supplement his win over 4 miles on the course in December. Seamus
Mullins’ 9-year-old is in the Coral Scottish Grand National at Ayr
on Saturday but, with just 8st 13lb in the long handicap, he has
little or no chance of getting in and should find this a far, far
easier assignment in any case.
The Dr. Massini gelding remains 7lb
higher in the weights than his winning mark and needs to bounce back
from two quieter efforts at Warwick, but he has stamina in abundance,
so the return to this undulating, testing track should be in his
favour. He’s yet to win on going faster than good, but has run well
enough, in just three attempts, on good to firm going to suggest he
won’t be inconvenienced by underfoot conditions.
Five wins from 29 starts is hardly
prolific, but three of those wins have come in the spring or summer
and trainer Seamus Mullins seems quite keen on his chance, so the 6/1
available in the early price lists could prove to be decent value.
Selection: Exeter 3.00 Adrenalin
