ACT ON IMPULSE TO NET WIN

-

Impulsive Star can make a winning start over fences in the Bet £10 Get £20 At 188Bet Novices’ Chase at Exeter tomorrow.

Neil Mulholland’s charge was a solid performer over hurdles last term, winning on his debut at Ffos Las before finding Grade Two company a bit too hot at Cheltenham before Christmas.

Switched back in class a little, the seven-year-old hit the target again at both Catterick and Exeter before the demands of the Pertemps Final at the Festival proved all too tough.

A winner in the point-to-point sphere before embarking on a career under rules, Impulsive Star can clearly jump and his hurdles rating would put him right in the mix.

Alpine Secret looks capable of scoring in a race like the Free Spins At 188Bet Casino Handicap Chase.

He took a big step up on his fencing bow when finishing second at Bangor last month and appears to have a fair chunk of improvemen­t still to give.

Beast Of Burden catches the eye as he makes his debut for Dan Skelton in the Sophie & Ami Rock Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter.

Previously with Rebecca Curtis, the eight-year-old was rated 143 in March 2015 after winning races at Ffos Las and Bangor, prompting connection­s to have a go at the Neptune at the Festival.

Well beaten that day, Beast Of Burden was then tried over fences to no avail and has been on and off the track since.

A change of scenery could perhaps reignite his career and Skelton certainly has something to work with as Beast Of Burden has now dropped to a mark of just 127.
