Aintree bumper winner Lalor expected to impress on Exeter hurdling debut

Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Subhaan (3.40 Newcastle, nap)

Showed a liking for this surface when arguably putting up his best performance to date when second in a maiden over course and distance last month. He may only have to reproduce that sort of effort to make the long trip north worthwhile.

Lambourn: James Burn

Forgetthesmalltalk (3.50 Exeter, nap)

The five-year-old, who will stay well, showed glimpses of ability last term and has pleased trainer Alan King following his summer break. A mark of 112 looks workable for his handicap debut.

Others to follow
Exeter 2.50 Harefield, 3.20 Zephyros Bleu, 4.50 Yanworth.
Kempton 7.45 Mr Pocket, 8.45 Percy Thrower.
Newcastle 4.40 The Big Short.
Yarmouth 2.30 Hula Girl.

North: Colin Russell

Palindrome (1.40 Newcastle, nap)

The four-year-old has yet to win in 13 attempts but is really well handicapped at present. He shaped well on his first run for current connections and with the switch to Tapeta no problem is fancied to get off the mark this time.

Others to follow

Exeter 2.20 Cave Top.

Kempton 5.45 Progressive Jazz, 6.15 Swiftee, 7.45 Related, 8.45 Four Kingdoms, 9.15 Voski.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Hitman (4.30 Yarmouth)

He ended a lean spell at Redcar on Friday and despite top weight, Rebecca Bastiman's four-year-old can follow up.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Lalor (2.50 Exeter, nap)

A Grade 2 winning bumper performer who is expected to make his presence felt at the highest level over hurdles this season. Pleasing in his work at home and fancied to take the beating on hurdling debut.

Others to follow
Exeter 2.20 Lady Longshot, 3.20 Vieux Lille, 3.50 Midnight Glory, 4.20 Eddy, 4.50 Sternrubin, 5.20 Acey Milan.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Kenny The Captain (4.10 Newcastle)

Largely in good order this autumn but still on a feasible mark. Every chance of going close on last year's winning course and distance winning form.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Ambion Lane (3.50 Exeter)

Despite posting some below-par efforts, the seven-year-old shaped with promise when last seen and remains relatively unexposed. He will enjoy the ground.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Get Out Of Jail (5.15 - Fairyhouse)

Having failed by a short head to follow up his Galway win at Limerick on his most recent start, the John McConnell-trained six-year-old, who handles testing ground well, gets the vote to score under 5lb claimer Danny Sheehy.
