KING'S ODYSSEY (NAP) was a close-up fourth at Sandown in December and that form could hardly have worked out any better as all three who finished in front that day won next time. Two of them were successful in Grade 2 events and Evan Williams' charge, a bit unlucky when beaten by Champagne Express over this trip at Chepstow subsequently, should be too good for these. Welcome Bach's third at Exeter has been franked and he could be the one for forecast-backers ahead of Lemony Bay, who has probably had more chances than most and has been beaten twice here this season. Primo Capitano didn't take to fences last time and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Howwrongcanyoube, the unexposed Optimistic Bias and Thats My Rabbit.
