Here are my ratings for Thursday, I've been tinkering with these for the
last week or so and they have been performing very well. I usually find
a dutching method works for those I don't have a strong opinion of, or
at least picking the top-one as a banker and the others as covers etc.

There is much better stuff on Friday and Saturday but I've taken a look.

The best bet for me today looks to be Mister Quasimodo in the 1:50 at
Exeter who I have rated clear. Master Minded could be a danger but has
been off the track for a while and MQ's figures last time behind Howle
Hill at Ascot were solid and his earlier 2nd to Twist Magic looks
equally good. The softer ground will also be in his favour and he is a
course winner. If that was not enough, the stable has a 38% s/r in the
last 2 weeks and he could be the value.

The rest of the card is tricky at Exeter but at Ludlow I like 3.

Bluto, Brousse En Feux and Cyd Charisse. None are likely to be big
prices but should all run well. Brousse En Feux in the 2:10 is rated
clear of this lot but it is a ladies race and Barton Sun also is 19lb
lower than when last seen over fences and could run well so confidence
is not exactly high for the fav.
