It could be worth sticking with recent Exeter winner KARL MARX now he's got his head back in front. He only won by a head but, as that was a conditionals' race, Mark Gillard's charge races off the same mark here. Primo Rossi was still in touch when falling at Stratford in August while On Demand ran easily her best race to date over timber when second at Newton Abbot on her first run for new connections. Jack Snipe is coming down the weights and looks the pick of the remainder.
