One horse for me that looked a value bet, though by no means a strong recommendation:
1.20 Exeter: VOLCAN SURPRISE 8/1
This seems to be a horse who Alan King felt had some potential, and has gone off short prices on his first two starts in Britain. Some people would call him disappointing to have finished 2nd twice, but there are reasons to be hopeful.
Firstly, he has been at the head of affairs both starts and stuck to his task very well. Both times he and the winner have pulled well clear of the rest of the field, and I think we are dealing with an above average hurdler who has shown signs of greeness.
Secondly, I think this is a horse who is going to get 2m 4f easily in time, and the conditions tomorrow will make use of that stamina (Heavy ground). It is interesting that the horse has gone from 2 maidens straight into a class 3 handicap qualifier for the Betfair Hurdle, and I just think at the prices he represents the value at 8/1 considering he is completely unexposed.
Arryan is the only one who has shown glimpses of class, but he is conceding just 2lbs shy of 2 stone here and I am hopeful of a bold enough showing in these conditions from Volcan Surprise. He travelled with more fluency on second start which suggests he is going in the right direction.
Another selection, though at a most likely ridiculous price (despite tissue of 4/6) is Royal Charm, who was travelling extremely well in the Sandown future stars race before falling. Hope I don't put the mockers on him but he looked a nice prospect.
Have a good day, no doubt I'll be in meetings trying not to get frustrated with numptys who overstate their importance
