Only entry for Swincombe Flame was the Albert Bartlett and he was scratched from that race yesterday, surely an injury.....
Thats not nice, laughing at my ante-post misfortune yet again Mr Zen She is injured...I kicked her after she lost at Ascot!
Nothing serious I hope? She looked a fine big mare at Ascot. I had the opportunity to have a good look at her and thought she ran a lovely trial for this heat. Shame she can't make it.
According to Nick Williams at the Exeter Preview Evening she will take on Quevega in the Mares race. He also made her his charity bet.
Get Me Outof Here will go well if taking up his engagement in this race even with the big weight, loves this course

I see that the last 9 winners of this heat had recorded a victory earlier in the season. A bit unusual for such a competitive all-aged handicap hurdle as typically in such races you will get winners ‘plotted’ up for the contest and given a few ‘easy runs’ prior to the big ‘un or horses who have been out of form but fallen to an attractive and exploitable rating after several unplaced efforts. This race in recent years has been very kind to me with the likes of Monkerhostin and Mr Henderson’s Spirit River obliging. Talking of the latter I see he is entered again this year following some very poor chasing runs. Although Spirit River would break the above ‘trend’ as he hasn’t won since this race in 2010.
I think that sonofvic could be on a handy mark here considering he has only ran over hurdles twice showing useful form both times. He could have plenty of improvement in him. He's a horse with a big engine but he just couldnt jump fences.
