The Champions League Betting at 1888
Sport Veterans’ Handicap Chase (3.35) at Exeter on Sunday is the
first leg of the 2018 Veterans’ Series and Pete The Feat
comes into the race off the back of a brave effort in the final of
the 2017 Series at Sandown last month. Charlie Longsdon’s
14-year-old was outpaced by the enigmatic Buywise up the famous
Sandown hill, but kept on to finish an honourable second, beaten just
2 lengths. The King’s Theatre gelding has been raised 3lb for that
effort but, despite being in his dotage, has looked on particularly
good terms with himself in recent months and – at least, against
his fellow old-timers – clearly remains a force to be reckoned
with. The form of his previous win, also at Sandown, has already been
franked by the second, Hedgeinator, and the fifth, Chef D’Equipe,
and 3 miles on the prevailing soft going is ideal for him. He’s yet
to race at Exeter, but has won over fences on similarly undulating
tracks at Fontwell and Folkestone, so it’ll be interesting to see
how he fares on his 62nd start under Rules.
Selection: Exeter 3.35 Pete
The Feat to win 7/1
