The Haldon Cup is Exter racecourse biggest race of the year and is a group 2 run over 2m1f, some top national hunt horses and trainers target the race and this year is no different with Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls lining up runners this. Smartbettingstats have worked through the analysis of the trends and found the best match below. 

- Third Time Lucky @15/8

We would be tempted to have a saver on Dolos @8/1 as this is the only horse to win a race over the distance of 2m 2f previously.
