It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top three are: 3.5/1 (6) SYR MAFFOS, 3/1 (8) ONE MAN PARTY, and 12/1 (1) LENEBANE (if they fare better now handicapping).

This represents a drop in class for Lenebane, who is expected to improve at this level. However, she does have to shoulder top-weight, so SYR MAFFOS shades the vote. Even though he finished a rather distant fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton last month, he is now rated 3lb lower and looks the one to side with. The unexposed Princess Poppy is another to bear in mind on her handicap debut.

ONE MAN PARTY looked menacing when falling 3 out on his recent handicap debut and might be worth siding with in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. There were better signs from Syr Maffos at Taunton last time so he's a possible threat, while Kingfast hasn't been with the Fergal O'Brien stable for long and this return to a shorter trip should help.

Tom Lacey's SYR MAFFOS seemed to have turned a corner when fourth behind two subsequent winners at Taunton last month. He gets the nod.

Based on the summary provided, 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA seems to be the strongest contender and sets the standard. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK could also be a major player if returned to better ground with cheekpieces on for the first time. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE has shown promise and could progress with an increase in trip. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA 2. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK 3. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE

MY BROTHER JACK receives a handy weight-for-age allowance here and must hold every chance of building on a fair third over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month. The gelded son of Decorated Knight sports first-time cheekpieces and the booking of Brian Hughes makes the four-year-old of significant interest. Carrarea finished 57 lengths back in third over 2m5f at Warwick in March and can benefit from a shorter stamina test, while Tommouse looks the pick of the remainder.

MY BROTHER JACK hardly looked at home on more testing ground than previously after 5 months off when third at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago, so much better is expected of him now returned to more suitable conditions. He gets the narrow vote over standard-setter Carrarea in what is likely to prove a match unless Tommouse takes a step forward.

He found 2m5f on soft ground too taxing on his stable debut but CARRAREA will be hard to beat if somewhere near his best here.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Prediction: 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE is likely to do well based on his recent form and success over shorter distances. As for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE, 5/1 (2) FIDUX, and 4/1 (8) BETTY BALOO are strong contenders.

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Fakenham last month, FIDUX is entitled to build on that dropping in class and he looks the one to side with in a fairly open contest. Although it won't be easy, he has been consistent of late and is marginally preferred to Betty Baloo, who bolted up over C&D in a weaker contest most recently. Go On Chez hasn't been seen for 182 days but has proven to run well fresh in the past.

The vote goes to FRENCHY DU LARGE, who pulled clear of the third (Ladronne) when runner-up in a competitive Haydock handicap and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Betty Baloo was pretty impressive over C&D last month, even allowing for the fact that she was probably seen to best effect, and Tim Easterby's charge is feared most ahead of Fidux.

The selection is SCIPION (nap), who has been in good form in cheekpieces, and is taken to beat Frenchy Du Large and Betty Baloo

1st: 3/1 (7) SOME SCOPE 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) HASHTAG BOUM 3rd: 4/1 (5) ZESTFUL

This can go the way of SOME SCOPE, who was a major improver when stepped up in trip at Haydock and an 8lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. Runner-up in Listed company at Cheltenham last month, Zestful is entitled to be thereabouts, along with comfortable Kelso scorer Hashtag Boum. Ballintubber Boy and Exmoor Forest are not without claims either.

The unexposed SOME SCOPE did the job well when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock and, with the promise of better to come from this 5-y-o, he is pretty appealing. Zestful lost no caste in defeat when finding just one too good in listed company at Cheltenham and she is second choice. Third on the list is Hashtag Boum, who should remain competitive following a 6 lb rise for her Kelso breakthrough success.

In a competitive event the progressive Haydock winner SOME SCOPE is taken to win again with Ballintubber Boy also in with a chance.

1st: 5.5/1 (7) MISTY MANI 2nd: 7/1 (5) PROPER TWELVE 3rd: 5/1 (8) BUSHTUCKER PARK

MISTY MANI loves it around here and her most recent second at Musselburgh hinted that she may be returning to her best form. The daughter of Sulamani continues to drop in the handicap and she may have enough to see off the likes of Bushtucker Park and Methusalar, who was a convincing winner at Bangor when last in action. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Allbetsoff, Maria Magdalena and Proper Twelve.

METHUSALAR was steadily going the right way in handicaps when last seen, signing off with success at Bangor (19.5f) 12 months ago. Just 1 lb higher on return, he's unlikely to be lacking for fitness given his yard and earns the vote. Teescomponentsfly on return, handicap debutant Bushtucker Park and Allbetsoff head up the dangers in a wide-open contest.

Back on track at Plumpton latest, PROPER TWELVE just gets the nod in an open affair ahead of dual course winner Misty Mani.

1st Place: 7/1 (8) VICTORY ECHO 2nd Place: 3/1 (2) SAGEBURG COUNTY 3rd Place: 8/1 (6) PILEUP

PILEUP couldn't build on a promising fencing debut when pulled up at Hexham last time out. He's been given a short break, however, and the cheekpieces that were worn there have now been discarded. His dam is a half-sister to the classy Put The Kettle On, which gives hope he should still thrive over the larger obstacles. Sageburg County showed plenty of ability over hurdles and he should progress further in this discipline, while recent Perth scorer Victory Echo heads the remainder.

SAGEBURG COUNTY finished with running left in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time and, having won his only start between the flags, he's very much the type to do better over fences, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Hardy Boy. Drop Him In is in good order and should also be on the premises.

In a tricky event HARRY DU BERLAIS, with cheekpieces on for the first time, is taken to get back to winning ways.

1st: 0.8/1 (1) CHOCCABLOC 2nd: 6/1 (3) ILLICO DE NUIT 3rd: 5/1 (8) MISTRAL BLUE

Nicky Henderson has an admirable strike-rate when sending his horses here, and he could improve that record further with CHOCCABLOC. Having finished a good second at Chepstow on his latest outing, the gelded son of Blue Bresil is taken to go one better. Illico De Nuit demands the utmost respect for a trainer who does extremely well in these types of races, while Scrumpy also makes some appeal.

CHOCCABLOC was clear of the rest when runner-up at Chepstow last time and, if in the same form, he should be capable of opening his account at the third attempt. Mistral Blue looks the main danger on form and Illico de Nuit is the most interesting newcomer.

Nicky Henderson's CHOCCABLOC was placed in two good bumpers last season and ought to be a very tough nut to crack.
