Verdict
Lip Service looked to be coming to hand at Exeter. Veterans Fear Glic and What A Laugh are both previous course and distance winners. Border Breaker won by 12 lengths at Catrmel but has been rewarded with a 13lb rise. I SEE YOU WELL is barely out of the novice stage and only won by half-a-length at Fontwell. However, there should be more to come from Seamus Mullins’ five-year-old, who is still well treated on his hurdles form. Cernunnos could figure if on a going day but Sam Noir still has much to prove.
