The competitive-looking 16:45 Haldon Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle at Exeter is our focus on Wednesday afternoon as we back the selection of Tipstrr tipster Set The Standard.
16:45 Haldon Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle
A total of 11 runners go to post for the 1645 at Exeter on Wednesday afternoon with Oak Creek, Lassie, Commanche Red and Honneur D’Ajonc declared non-runners.
Wrappedupinmay, ridden by Harry Cobden, has been a well-backed favourite in the build-up to the race and made a promising course debut last year when romping to victory.
Hercules Morse is second in the betting at 4/1 at the time of writing. He got off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles, but that last run came in 2023 so it might be a bit ask to expect him to win here.

Raddon Top and Halifax are both course and distance winners with the former winning this very race in 2022 and claiming second place here in November on the back of a long break and has got another run under his belt since.
The Paul Nicholls-trained horse has yet to win again since but has managed a pair of seconds including here at Exeter.
All three of his most recent runs came over hurdles and although he only managed a fifth-place finish last time out at Ascot, he was part of the pack applying pressure to the winner.
That performance has been put into perspective since and it would seem that he’s up against a lesser-quality field here, so we’ll back tipster Set The Standard’s selection, Wrappedupinmay.
Suggested bet: Back Wrappedupinmay to win the 16:45 at Exeter
