13:40 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (4/6 +8%) Nap Hand	0.666667 4/6(+8%)	(3) Nap Hand 4/6, Three-time winner on the level and has shown plenty in 2m maiden hurdles at Kempton and Huntingdon, latterly pulling clear of the rest when making a real race of it with an odds-on shot from the Nicky Henderson yard. Obvious claims. Useful Flat winner who went close at Huntingdon in latest hurdles run; the one to beat..
6	6 (6) (4/1 -14%) Under The Sun	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Under The Sun 4/1, Useful performer on the Flat (stays 1¼m) for Hugo Palmer and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when third in a 7-runner C&D maiden a fortnight ago. Entitled to come on for that and he should have a big part to play. Encouraging start to his hurdles career when third over C&D two weeks ago; respected..
5	5 (5) (5/1 -11%) Syllabus	5 5/1(-11%)	(5) Syllabus 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1½m) for William Haggas, making the frame in 5 of his 6 starts in that sphere as a 3-y-o in 2023. Subsequently sold for 50,000 gns and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the betting starting out over hurdles for in-form yard. Fair Flat maiden in 2023 but the long absence tempers enthusiasm on hurdle/stable debut..
2	2 (2) (13/2 +0%) I Play County	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(2) I Play County 13/2, Winner of sole start in Irish points and off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers at Taunton (16.5f, soft) last March, making all. Pulled up on return/hurdling bow at Wetherby but was subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat, so he's probably worth another chance. Pulled up on hurdle debut when found to have an irregular heartbeat; tongue-tie now added..
4	4 (4) (66/1 +0%) Olderfleet	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Olderfleet 66/1, Hard to warm to judged on what he's shown in a bumper and 2 starts over hurdles to date. Has shown little in three starts under rules and difficult to make a case..
1	1 (1) (100/1 +0%) Forlano	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Forlano 100/1, Placed at Kempton on second of the 4 bumpers that he contested but little impact otherwise, including on recent hurdles debut at Wincanton. Well held on recent hurdles debut back from an absence; may improve on that..

13:40 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Smart Flat performer NAP HAND did little wrong in his placed efforts at Kempton and Huntingdon over timber in recent months and it could be third-time lucky for the son of Fast Company. The biggest threat is likely to emerge from Under The Sun, who arrives on the back of a third-placed hurdles bow over C&D, although market support for Syllabus on his debut over obstacles would be interesting.

It could be a case of third time lucky over hurdles for NAP HAND, who has acquitted himself well on his two starts in this sphere. That said, Under The Sun's form on the Flat was superior and he will be a serious threat if able to step up on what he showed on his recent hurdling bow here. Syllabus also boasts some decent Flat form and he's one to note in the betting.

Under The Sun is worth considering but NAP HAND is taken to build on a couple of promising placed efforts and get off the mark.

14:12 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (4/5 -20%) King Ulanda	0.8 4/5(-20%)	(2) King Ulanda 4/5, Huntingdon bumper winner for Tom Weston last May and left previous hurdles form well behind when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) recently. Escapes a penalty for that ready success and will take plenty of stopping. Escapes a penalty for last week's ready handicap debut win and has obvious claims..
6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Gorcombe Moonshine	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(6) Gorcombe Moonshine 7/2, Sole victory came over fences back in December 2023 and record in this sphere stands at 0-16. On the upside, he has performed with credit both starts so far this season, including when third back hurdling over C&D last time. Good effort when third over C&D last month and likely to play a part again..
3	3 (3) (8/1 +11%) Synchronist	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) Synchronist 8/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and bettered his first 2 efforts over hurdles when fifth of 11 with first-time blinkers (retained) enlisted at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) earlier this month. This drop in trip may well work in his favour now handicapping. Showed promise last time; may improve now handicapping and back down in trip..
4	4 (4) (10/1 -33%) Dotties Star	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Dotties Star 10/1, Caused a surprise when winning 4-runner C&D novice (soft) last month before struggling under a penalty on desperate ground at Lingfield. Wouldn't be a surprise were he to take a step back in the right direction now pitched into a handicap. C&D winner who makes handicap debut but others look better treated..
5	5 (5) (12/1 -20%) John Betjeman	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) John Betjeman 12/1, Has slipped to a dangerous mark but losing run stretches back almost 2 years and he's passed over on the back of a heavy defeat at Wincanton. Exposed 9yo but has the assistance of a talented 3lb claimer; place claims..
1	1 (1) (14/1 +13%) Boskill Borden	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Boskill Borden 14/1, Just the one win from 11 starts over hurdles for previous yard in Ireland and, unless the addition of cheekpieces happens to have a positive effect, he will probably come up short on his debut on these shores. 2m Tramore hurdle winner who doesn't look particularly well treated on debut for new yard..

14:12 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

KING ULANDA proved a different proposition when recently scoring on his handicap bow at Musselburgh in ready fashion. The five-year-old should take all the beating racing off an unchanged mark and a quickfire double could be on the cards. A 1lb drop in the ratings can only help Gorcombe Moonshine after his third-placed effort over C&D last month and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of stable debutant Boskill Borden.

It's hard to look beyond KING ULANDA, who did the job in good style when making a successful handicap debut under Toby Wynne at Musselburgh and, with no penalty to shoulder, he is a sizeable step ahead of the assessor at present. Synchronist gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of fellow handicap debutant Dotties Star.

It's difficult not to side with KING ULANDA who escapes a penalty for his handicap debut win at Mussleburgh last week.

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (5/2 +0%) Hill Of Tara	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Hill Of Tara 5/2, Enjoyed a good time of it last winter, bagging 4 handicap hurdles at up to 25.5f. Offered something to work on when fifth at Bangor on chase debut/reappearance at the end of October but disappointed 4 months on at Leicester 11 days ago. Still early days in this sphere. Won 4 handicap hurdles last winter; respectable chase debut but pulled up 11 days ago.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +0%) Basford	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(4) Basford 11/4, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Has taken to fences quite well this season, second of 4 at Fakenham 10 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again. Progressing nicely over fences this season and likely there's yet more to come; respected..
6	6 (6) (3/1 +33%) Uallrightharry	3 3/1(+33%)	(6) Uallrightharry 3/1, Veteran who revived all of a sudden to capitalise on reduced mark at Fontwell last month but record suggests he's not an obvious type to follow up. Inconsistent but capable veteran as he showed when winning at Fontwell last time; up 6lb..
1	1 (1) (4/1 -33%) Morfee	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Morfee 4/1, Goes particularly well here and returned to best form when second over C&D last month. Trip too far next time and expected to bounce back. C&D winner who didn't stay in the Sussex National but worth considering now back in trip.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -33%) Fern Hill	10 10/1(-33%)	(2) Fern Hill 10/1, Losing run is mounting up but he went very close at Fakenham (29.1f, good to soft) over Christmas. Struggled at Bangor next time but this easier. Not dismissed. Pulled up latest but he was back to some form previously and remains well treated..
3	3 (3) (25/1 +0%) I See You Well	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) I See You Well 25/1, Plenty of wins in a long career but losing run is mounting up and well held all 3 starts this season. Headgear now given a whirl. Five-time C&D winner but out of sorts this season; blinkers now added..

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having jumped well when regaining the winning thread at Fontwell last month, dual C&D scorer Uallrightharry must enter the reckoning. However, the veteran hasn't proven the most consistent in the past and BASFORD rates a more solid proposition. Jennie Candlish's charge arrives on the back of a solid second at Fakenham and a 1lb drop in the ratings gives him a big shout. Lightly-raced chaser Hill Of Tara is also noted.

MORFEE is worth another chance having been too free over a longer trip here 2 weeks ago. Fern Hill is feared most back down in class.

This can go to BASFORD who's been progressing nicely over fences this season. Morfee can chase him home.

15:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (3/1 -9%) Sole Solution	3 3/1(-9%)	(7) Sole Solution 3/1, Lightly-raced dual bumper winner has progressed with each start over hurdles since returning from a long absence and plenty like about his victory at Sandown (19.8f, Heavy) on handicap debut, making-all and showing a game attitude. Unexposed and likely more improvement to come for this stamina test. Up 5lb for a hard-fought win on handicap debut at Sandown but longer trip should suit..
2	2 (2) (9/2 +0%) Hititi	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Hititi 9/2, Useful hurdler was second in this race last year from a 3 lb lower mark. Not disgraced over fences this season but proved himself more effective when returned to smaller obstacles (second of 12 in handicap at Exeter). Handicapped to his best but is very consistent and merits consideration. Solid performer who can play a role but likely he'll prove vulnerable off current mark..
5	5 (5) (5/1 +0%) Patriotik	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Patriotik 5/1, Has some notable form this season, finishing fifth in a strong renewal of the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October and chasing home Red Dirt Road at Aintree on Boxing Day. Unsuited by sharper test at Ascot earlier this month, this greater test of stamina should be much more to his liking. Has posted some fair efforts this season and he possesses the ability to win this; player.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -8%) Jilaijone	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Jilaijone 7/1, Ended long losing run when easy winner at Uttoxeter in testing conditions last month and ran at least as well on first crack at a staying trip when fourth of 17 in a well-run handicap Ascot (23.5f). That gives hope he can handle this greater stamina test and he's one to consider. Wide-margin winner in January; didn't look short of stamina over 2m7f at Ascot; player..
9	9 (9) (8/1 -33%) Gaye Legacy	8 8/1(-33%)	(9) Gaye Legacy 8/1, Winner of a pair of handicap hurdles last season, including on testing ground at Newbury and bounced back on reappearance (had run well fresh previously) when finishing fourth in warm race from 3 lb out of the handicap (Sandown 23.5f). Respected but will find it a sharper test around this track. Strong stayer who should be all the sharper for her Sandown reappearance; player..
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Kamsinas	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Kamsinas 8/1, Typically strong-travelling sort won a Grade 2 as a novice and an Aintree handicap on return. Showed a different side when digging deep to finish fourth at Haydock (18.9f, soft) in November and looks worth a go at this trip. Interesting but does need to bounce back from below-par effort last month. Handles most ground and can resume progress if suited by this step up in distance..
1	1 (1) (8/1 +11%) Hermino Aa	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Hermino Aa 8/1, Course winner was better than ever when making a winning reappearance at Newbury (3m) under Freddie Mitchell in November but has struggled from this sort of mark since, never looked like winning when seventh of 12 in at Windsor last time. Others appear to be better handicapped. Probably needs a personal best to win this but likely to be in the mix if at his best..
6	6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Good Look Charm	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Good Look Charm 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler who enhanced her good record fresh when winning 8-runner handicap under this jockey at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) in December. Struggled from a 5 lb higher mark in a stronger race last month, and she may need to come back down the handicap to get her head in front again. Sandown winner before well beaten at Haydock since; has the ability to figure if at best.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +11%) Warranty	16 16/1(+11%)	(8) Warranty 16/1, Landed a double on the Flat in May and returned to his best over hurdles when second of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f) in December. Run of good form came to a halt when fifth at Warwick (25f, 35 days ago), and he has even more on his plate pitched into a stronger race. Largely in good form this winter but probably needs more now back up in class..

15:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SOLE SOLUTION kept on gamely to score over 2m4f at Sandown at the start of the month and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. The seven-year-old looks capable of defying a 5lb rise to complete the hat-trick, with his main threat possibly being Hititi after his second in this grade at Exeter earlier in the month. Previous course winner Hermino AA is another to take seriously.

With an apparent lack of pace in the race, the unexposed SOLE SOLUTION may be able to dominate this from the front, at a course that often suits handy types. He showed a likeable attitude when making-all at Sandown earlier this month and looks the type to improve now tackling staying distances. Patriotik has notable form in the book this season and he should benefit from this greater stamina test. Hititi looks solid, while Kaminsas is worth a go at this trip.

Sole Solution will be a tough nut to crack in his hat-trick bid but this could turn into a real slog which would suit GAYE LEGACY.

15:47 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (6/4 0%) Jongleur D'etoiles	1.5 6/4(0%)	(1) Jongleur D'etoiles 6/4, Improved to win a pair of handicaps around 3m this winter. Possibly raced on the unfavored part of the track when only third on the hat-trick bid at Southwell last time and given another chance to show his mark is still workable. Below-par third at Southwell when bidding for hat-trick but still a leading player today.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +0%) One Man Party	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) One Man Party 4/1, Poor maiden who ran his best race when second of 6 in 3m Fakenham handicap 10 days ago but will need more again if he's to go one better now. 0-14 but good second at Fakenham recently and in the mix if backing that up.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +20%) Minella Kaiser	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Minella Kaiser 4/1, Placed on the first of 2 starts in Irish points. Beaten 31 lengths or more in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles this winter but much more realistic chance now handicapping up in trip. One to note in the betting. Well beaten in novice hurdles but third in a point and new trip could suit on h'cap debut.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -11%) Chancellorstown	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Chancellorstown 5/1, Showed improved form in cheekpieces when going down by only a nose over C&D in November. Has failed to back that up at other venues twice since but player if a return to Plumpton and change of headgear (visor this time) prompt a return to form. Close second of four over C&D in November but soundly beaten the next twice.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -17%) Jassur Des Brosses	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Jassur Des Brosses 7/1, Modest maiden. Creditable return from 5 months off when fourth of 9 over 19.5f at Huntingdon 18 days ago. Needs to build on that now stepping up in trip. 0-10 and untested at the trip but good form of his yard suggests he shouldn't be ruled out.
5	5 (5) (20/1 +9%) Delgany Monarch	20 20/1(+9%)	(5) Delgany Monarch 20/1, Course chase winner in spring 2023 but has largely struggled since, including both starts this winter. Needs a return to hurdles and belated first-time headgear to spark a revival. He's struggled over fences this season; major turnaround needed now back over hurdles.

15:47 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ONE MAN PARTY outran his odds to fill the runner-up spot at Fakenham on his latest outing and he is only 2lb higher following that display. David Bridgwater's charge looks to have found an ideal opportunity to get his head in front for the first time. Jongleur D'etoiles was soundly beaten in third when attempting to complete a hat-trick at Southwell last time, but he should remain competitive. Minella Kaiser is the pick of the remainder.

JONGLEUR D'ETOILES had a possible excuse when his winning run came to a halt at Southwell 3 weeks ago and is taken to resume his progression now. If Chancellorstown bounces back to the form he showed when narrowly denied over C&D in November he might prove the main danger.

This can go to handicap newcomer MINELLA KAISER (nap) who can prove well suited by the step up in trip.

2	2 (2) (4/5 +0%) Demoiselle Kap	0.8 4/5(+0%)	(2) Demoiselle Kap 4/5, Easily made it 2-2 for her new yard in 9-runner handicap chase (5/6) at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but she's the one to beat. Made it 2-2 for yard with easy win at Newcastle recently; strong claims despite 11lb rise.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +13%) Caldwell	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Caldwell 7/2, 3 wins from 9 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Fakenham in February. Fair winner at 16f on flat. 9/4, last of 4 in handicap chase at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Won over hurdles this month but soundly beaten back over fences at Newcastle on Saturday.
1	1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Koenigsstern	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Koenigsstern 4/1, Dual winning pointer who landed 2m1f handicap chase at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Below-par fourth at Huntingdon (16.5f) since but sort to bounce back with cheekpieces added. Well-beaten fourth at Huntingdon but won at Fontwell two starts ago; could bounce back.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -14%) Birdman Bob	8 8/1(-14%)	(4) Birdman Bob 8/1, It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 but he wasn't disgraced when fifth of 7 in handicap chase here (19.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Possibilities. Hasn't run badly back over fences the last twice but needs something extra today.

16:22 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

DEMOISELLE KAP is unbeaten in two starts since joining the Jennie Candish yard and struck with ease at Newcastle on her latest outing. The seven-year-old is 11lb higher now but has scope for further progress and she can take this step up in grade in her stride. The main threat could come from Koenigsstern, who may be helped by first-time cheekpieces after his well-held fourth at Huntingdon last month. Birdman Bob is 2lb lower than when he finished fifth here last time and needs to show more.

Jennie Candlish holds a very strong hand here and her rejuvenated DEMOISELLE KAP is hard to side against on the back of her easy Newcastle victory. Stablemate Caldwell needs to bounce back from Saturday's effort but appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Koenigsstern and Birdman Bob.

The mare DEMOISELLE KAP can maintain her unbeaten record for Jennie Candlish, having again won easily at Newcastle last time.

4	4 (4) (4/5 +0%) Lyle View	0.8 4/5(+0%)	(4) Lyle View 4/5, Took her form up a notch when easily opening her account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 21 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but she remains on a workable mark and merits serious consideration. Won with something to spare at Southwell; could still be well treated even after 9lb rise.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +0%) A Tickatickatiming	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) A Tickatickatiming 4/1, Course winner who comes here in good nick, third of 6 in 2m handicap here 14 days ago. Back up in trip and weighted to go well off a 2 lb lower mark. Course winner who ran well when third here last time and could be in the mix.
5	5 (5) (13/2 -18%) Arctic Angel	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(5) Arctic Angel 13/2, Posted her best effort over hurdles on her handicap debut when third of 9 at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 27 days ago. That form has been franked so she can go well again off the same mark. Third on handicap debut at Chepstow and there's room for improvement in her jumping.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +22%) Just A Memory	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Just A Memory 7/1, Failed to build on earlier promise when fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (23f, soft) 24 days ago. More needed now going into handicaps. Tailed off last time but runner-up previously; could have a part to play on handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +0%) Arctic Stream	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Arctic Stream 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden and first form shown when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. May do better still going back up in trip for her handicap debut. Not obviously well treated off opening mark but could improve for the step up in trip.

16:52 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LYLE VIEW accounted for her nearest rival by over four lengths at Southwell last time and was put up 9lb for that triumph. If Neil Mulholland's mare can run to a similar level today, then she will prove very difficult to beat. Arctic Angel made the frame at Chepstow last month and is likely to be thereabouts off an unchanged rating, while A Tickatickatiming is another to keep an eye on.

Neil Mulholland has his string in good nick so his impressive Southwell scorer LYLE VIEW is taken to make light of a 9 lb hike and fend off the handily-weighted Arctic Angel. A Tickatickatiming can also have a big say in this open handicap.

The step up in trip looks the right move for ARCTIC STREAM on handicap debut and she can provide Richard Bandey with another winner.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
