15:40 Exeter Tips — Tuesday 7th April 2026

The 15:40 at Exeter looks set for a one-horse show, with Joe Tizzard's debutant Horethorne making its highly anticipated bow. It's rare to see a newcomer sent off at such a prohibitive price as 1/10, but the market often speaks volumes, particularly for horses hailing from a stable renowned for its consistent success in National Hunt Flat races. Connections clearly hold this one in very high regard, and the combination of Tizzard’s expertise with young talent and Freddie Gingell’s competent ride strongly suggests Horethorne is well-schooled and ready to deliver on debut. Expect this promising individual to make a winning start to its career, demonstrating the class that has clearly been evident at home.

While Horethorne is undoubtedly the banker, those looking for each-way value in behind should turn their attention to Triple Edge. In a race where many are unexposed, finding one to chase home the hot favourite is the main challenge. Triple Edge looks a solid proposition to do just that. Often, in these types of races, past experience or a stable with a good record for progressive types can count for something if the favourite doesn't perform to expectations, or simply to secure a place. We're tipping Triple Edge to run a very respectable race and potentially grab one of the minor placings, offering a good return for those playing the each-way angle.
