Haldon Gold Cup Day

I know they've changed the title, but to me it will always be the Haldon Gold Cup, one of the best races at Exeter (or Devon & Exeter as it used to be known), the 15:00 Exeter.

It's an awkward race to analyse as it attracts both handicappers and better-class horses. Oh Crick is currently showing at 4/1 and just worth a Lay at this price (at the upper end of my Lay price limit).

For the first time we are going to look at the AW racing at Kempton. In the 14:20 the RP has Femme De Fer as 3/1 Fav and Ask Jenny at 4/1 2nd Fav. We're going to go for a dual bet here; a Back bet on the former with an equal stake Lay on the latter.

I hate agreeing with the RP but in the 14:50 I think they've got it spot on. Chosen Son looks to have  a good chance; certainly a better chance than the 9/2 forecast Fav Malapropism. Again we'd go for a Lay on Malapropism matched by an equal stake Back on Chosen Son.

Fortunately, I completely disagree with the RP in the 15:50 as they say that Mafeking has to be respected. Well, not by us it doesn't. At 11/4 this is a good Lay bet.
