13:50 exeter Friday 7th November 2025

Trainer Paul Nicholls has won four of the past five renewals of this and may well do so again with QUEBECOIS (2). This five-year-old son of No Risk At All looks built for novice chasing and he could take some stopping granted a clear round. He made all winning a decent novices handicap hurdle over this distance at Ayr last season and may go onto better things tackling fences. DOYEN QUEST (1) wasn't disgraced when second in the Listed Tom Malone Bloodstock Novices Chase at Chepstow. Rates the obvious danger climbing in journey. WESTERN KNIGHT (4) finished runner-up among G2 company hurdling last season. Might get involved making chase debut. TINY TETLEY (3) rounds out the quartet.
