Exeter Horse Racing Tips: ITV Racing Best Bets On Friday 7th November 2025<\/b><\/h2>\n

1:50 Exeter – ICL Conscious Of Our Impact ‘Future Stars’ Silver Bowl Novices’ Chase Cl2 (4yo+) 3m ITV4<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just the four runners here but despite the small numbers this is still a nice little race, where cases can be made for all.<\/p>\n

However, Western Knight is the only horse to either not win yet over this trip or at the course and is the lowest-rated in the field – so is overlooked this time.<\/p>\n

With the call being for the Paul Nicholls yard to take this with QUEBECOIS<\/b> – in a contest the Ditcheat team love to target.<\/p>\n

They’ve won the pot five times since 2018, including for the last two years – with Stay Away Fay and Captain Teague.<\/p>\n

This 6 year-old is a two-time winner over hurdles and was last seen in winning action at Ayr in April, but has always looked the sort to progress again now chasing.<\/p>\n

Has also had a wind op over the summer and being a former course winner here (hurdles), that’s a further plus. Harry Cobden, who has also ridden the last two winners of this race for Nicholls, gets the leg-up.<\/p>\n

Skelton’s Doyen Quest and the only other course winner in the field, Tiny Tetley can follow the pick home.<\/p>\n

2:25 Exeter – BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase (Grade 2) (Limited Handicap Chase) Cl1 (4yo+) 2m1\u00bdf ITV4<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another Exeter race the Paul Nicholls do well in – they’ve won this prize a record eight times over the years – including with some very big names in Azertyuiop, Greaneteen and Politologue.<\/p>\n

They try for a ninth success with Kalif Du Berlais, who comes here as an improving chaser that has won three of his five chase starts.<\/p>\n

The last was a top win in the Grade One Maghull Novices’ Chase at the Aintree Grand National Meeting in April – but my slight worry is the longer trip today.<\/p>\n

With his three wins over fences coming over 2m 1\/2f or less – and Exeter can often require some getting. But the Nicholls camp do boast a 35% SR with their chasers here.<\/p>\n

Take Last Year’s Haldon Gold Cup Winner To Go Well Again<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Therefore, the slightly better value looks to be to side with last year’s winner JPR ONE<\/strong> – as we know this track and trip are fine.<\/p>\n

Tizzard’s runner also has a top record fresh – having taken this race off a break 12 months ago and also won first time out in 2023.<\/p>\n

In fact, four of his six career wins have all come off lay-offs. JPR One will be looking to become the first back-to-back<\/em> winner of this race since the former King George winner Edredon Bleu in 2002\/03.<\/p>\n

He’s rated 4lbs higher than last year, but is still only aged 8 and in fact 12 months ago won with 11st 12lbs and now has 11st 9lbs.<\/p>\n

Of the rest, recent Chepstow scorer Saint Segal is a consistent chaser, while Martator comes here after being pulled out of his race last week at Ascot.<\/p>\n

He’ll be trying to give trainer Venetia Williams her second win in the race – with her first coming way back in 2000 with Bellator, the year before the mighty Best Mate won this prize.<\/p>\n

Plus Thistle Ask is 3-from-4 over fences and after a good win at Wetherby last time out looks a chaser on the up for the Skeltons.<\/p>\n
