14:30 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (1/8 +25%) More Coko	0.125 1/8(+25%)	(1) More Coko 1/8, Took his unbeaten record to 3 with facile success in a thin 17f Carlisle novice hurdle 5 weeks ago under this rider. Can defy a double penalty stepped up in trip. 3-3 and barely tested in a bumper and two hurdle starts; huge chance despite 12lb penalty.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) Old Cowboy	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Old Cowboy 4/1, Purchased for £66,000 after finishing runner-up in a point. Encouraging start over hurdles when third at Newbury in January but has folded and finished well held twice since. This is easier up in trip at least and he's the obvious danger to More Coko. Newbury third on rules debut is solid form; not matched it since but still a key player.
2	2 (2) (33/1 +67%) Drumheller	33 33/1(+67%)	(2) Drumheller 33/1, Fair third on his better bumper run last season but little impact over hurdles this term, struggling early final circuit here 6 weeks ago. Some promise in two bumpers but yet to shine over hurdles; future lies in handicaps.
5	5 (5) (80/1 -21%) Playaway Girl	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Playaway Girl 80/1, Well held in bumpers/2 juvenile hurdles. Steps up in distance. Neither hurdle run suggests she's of interest this side of handicaps.
4	4 (4) (200/1 -100%) Surrey Nemesis	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Surrey Nemesis 200/1, No form in bumpers/2 starts over hurdles (suffered breathing problem with tongue tie left off for new yard after 11 months away latest). Cheekpieces tried up in trip. Poor form in her five starts; new headgear not enough to tempt.

14:30 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MORE COKO maintained his unbeaten record when coasting home at Carlisle last month and a double penalty is unlikely to halt his progression, Willie Mullins' charge looks capable of more and he's taken to fend off chief threat Old Cowboy. The son of Blue Bresil should prove more competitive than his latest effort in a class 2 event at Ascot. Drumheller may fare best of the remainder.

Willie Mullins has his first runner at Plumpton in MORE COKO and the Carlisle winner can make it 4-4 with further improvement on the way. Old Cowboy hasn't convinced in the finish the last twice but is the obvious threat for the Moore yard.

Old Cowboy's debut third gives him claims but this looks a good opportunity for MORE COKO to maintain his unbeaten record.

15:00 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (3/1 0%) J'habite En France	3 3/1(0%)	(3) J'habite En France 3/1, Has got back on track over fences this year, readily landing 2m Huntingdon handicap in January and returning to form under a forceful ride there last time. Not taken lightly off the same mark. Two good runs at Huntingdon this year; closely matched with Pescatorius.
5	5 (5) (3/1 -20%) Pescatorius	3 3/1(-20%)	(5) Pescatorius 3/1, Capitalised on drop in the weights when getting off the mark in 2m novice handicap chase at Catterick in December and just failed despite a tendency to jump left at Huntingdon (J'Habite En France third) last time. Back on left-handed track now and respected. Improving chaser; just missed out at Huntingdon last month; strong claims up 1lb.
4	4 (4) (10/3 +44%) Birdman Bob	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(4) Birdman Bob 10/3, A regular here, successful on his return in November 2023 and plenty of good efforts since, shaping better than the distance beaten over C&D 4 weeks ago. Down another 2 lb but this looks tough. Course win over hurdles; not run badly over fences the last twice but needs more to win.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -63%) Celtic Ned	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(2) Celtic Ned 13/2, Fair hurdler who went well for a long way in one of these handicaps at Wincanton in November, jumping better having been ridden with more restraint. Possibly needed his first run since at Fontwell a fortnight ago and interesting back down in trip with blinkers reached for. Yet to shine over fences but well treated on hurdle best; better ground/blinkers may help.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +50%) Spicy Nelson	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Spicy Nelson 7/1, Cost quite a bit but no better than poor form over hurdles, looking awkward as he dropped away at Fontwell when last seen in December. Now tries chasing in different headgear. Not lived up to market expectation in handicap hurdles; not bred for chasing; others safer.
1	1 (1) (15/2 -50%) Taxus Baccata	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(1) Taxus Baccata 15/2, Hasn't yet fulfilled her bumper promise over hurdles but this Irish point winner is likely to show more of what she's about now handicapping over fences. Point/bumper winner; makes her handicap/chase debut at a modest level; unexposed.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +20%) Elzaaro	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Elzaaro 16/1, Poor maiden jumper. Visor tried. Little solid form and a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt.
10	10 (10) (28/1 +44%) Can't Buy Time	28 28/1(+44%)	(10) Can't Buy Time 28/1, Little solid form over hurdles/fences. Unplaced in all ten starts and hard to recommend from out of the weights.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Clondaw Robin	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Clondaw Robin 33/1, Veteran still winless over fences (just 1-40 overall) and probably set for another struggle judged on recent efforts. Poor strike-rate and he's been out of sorts so far this winter.
8	8 (8) (150/1 -50%) The Last Melon	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) The Last Melon 150/1, Poor veteran. Off almost 4 years prior to this season and switch to chasing now looks the last throw of the dice. Makes his chase debut as a 13yo and can't be recommeded.

15:00 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PESCATORIUS lost little in defeat when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at Huntingdon 18 days ago. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential for Harriet Dickin's inmate and a second career victory could be on the cards. J'habite En France finished behind the selection in third and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly racing off an unchanged mark. Celtic Ned and Taxus Baccata are also noted.

CELTIC NED has dropped in the weights and could have a bigger effort in him over fences now fitted with blinkers. He gets the vote over Pescatorius and J'Habite En France who are closely matched on their recent Huntingdon running.

Last month's Huntingdon handicap where PESCATORIUS finished in front of J'Habite En France could be the key formline.

15:00 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:30 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (6/4 -20%) Graham	1.5 6/4(-20%)	(1) Graham 6/4, Fairly useful on Flat successful twice for Richard Hannon (both on good to firm) and although yet to reach the same level in his qualifying runs on soft/heavy ground over hurdles, he strikes as the type that could do much better for switch to handicaps on better ground, off a fair opening mark. Dual 1m4f winner for Richard Hannon; more aggressive tactics could help now handicapping.
2	2 (2) (9/4 +84%) Jorebel	2.25 9/4(+84%)	(2) Jorebel 9/4, Placed in Irish points but well held in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. Needs to step forward from those efforts but may be capable of better on handicap debut. Hasn't offered a lot in three runs over hurdles; want to see some support now handicapping.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +45%) Lady Caro	3 3/1(+45%)	(4) Lady Caro 3/1, Set a good gallop when nearly making-all in a Hereford handicap (16.2f) on penultimate run, only narrowly denied in closing stages. Not in same form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 61 days ago, but very interesting if she can bounce back to form following a short break. Went close off this mark in December; one of the likelier winners of an ordinary affair.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -33%) Character Testing	8 8/1(-33%)	(5) Character Testing 8/1, Fair scorer on the Flat up to 10f for Tom Clover. Has been consistent fairly over hurdles (but remains a maiden) for current connections. Hood on for the first time when second of 8 at Warwick (16f) in December, but not quite in the same form third at Fakenham the following month. Has a bit to find. Has often pulled hard and been fitted with a hood the past twice; needs more.
3	3 (3) (22/1 +45%) Westtara	22 22/1(+45%)	(3) Westtara 22/1, Left previous efforts behind when third in maiden at this venue in April 2024 before finishing season with a creditable third of 7 in a handicap at Fontwell (25.8f, good). Seemingly working his way to full fitness on two underwhelming runs this season and should be no excuses on that front here. Pulled up latest (2m7f, soft); the emphasis will be more on speed today; hard to recommend.

15:30 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A spin on the Flat when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton 13 days ago should have put EARLY MORNING DEW spot-on for this return to hurdles. The nine-year-old is lurking on an attractive mark and a breakthrough victory in this discipline looms. Graham hasn't cut much ice in three timber outings to date, but he enters handicaps off a workable-looking rating. The son of Time Test is feared most, ahead of Character Testing.

Having raced off a BHA mark of 80 on the Flat, GRAHAM is an interesting contender rated only 93 for his handicap hurdle debut and he may be able to leave behind the form he has shown in maiden hurdles now back on a sounder surface. He's worth a market check, as is Early Morning Dew who is potentially well-treated returning to this sphere for the first time for current connections. Lady Caro set a good gallop when narrowly denied at Hereford in December, and she's a player if back on song.

Early Morning Dew is potentially well treated but the vote goes to GRAHAM, who starts handicap life on a sensible mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (5/2 +38%) Despereaux	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) Despereaux 5/2, Scored at Ludlow and Taunton in December and not discredited off an 8 lb high mark when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Needs considering after a break. Two wins in December when upped to 3m; beaten in a stronger race latest; major player.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +72%) Limerick Leader	2.5 5/2(+72%)	(5) Limerick Leader 5/2, Scored at Perth in September and has continued in good form, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23f) 24 days ago. Firmly in the picture. Best run for new yard when third at Fakenham last month; more required this time.
1	1 (1) (10/3 +67%) Warranty	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(1) Warranty 10/3, Course winner who comes here on the back of a respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago. In the mix. Conditions unlikely to pose a problem and he's a contender on this winter's best runs.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -220%) Rickety Bridge	4 4/1(-220%)	(2) Rickety Bridge 4/1, Took a step forward on just his second handicap start when runner-up in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Up 2 lb but he's not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock. Both wins on soft and disappointing in one run on good; personal best latest; contender.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -133%) La Dolce Dolly	7 7/1(-133%)	(4) La Dolce Dolly 7/1, Won sole start in Irish points and built on earlier promise on his handicap bow when a running-on fourth of 6 at Market Rasen (2m4f) 20 days ago. Can do better still now up to 3m. Interesting. Point winner; fair fourth on handicap debut and this step up in trip will suit; unexposed.

16:00 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

RICKETY BRIDGE, a creditable second in a class 2 series qualifier at Chepstow last month, is readily suggested as the one to be with as he drops in class. Despereaux rounded last year off in good form and can figure despite being being held off this mark at Taunton last time out. La Dolce Dolly is the least exposed of these in handicaps and could be the surprise package on these terms.

None of these can be ruled out but LA DOLCE DOLLY took a step forward on her first go in handicaps when fourth at Market Rasen and can now add to her pointing success with her stamina unlocked more. Paul Nicholls' lightly-raced Chepsttow runner-up Rickety Bridge is feared most, although Limerick Leader, Desperaux and Warranty all command plenty of respect too in an intriguing contest.

Warranty looks set to go well but DESPEREAUX (nap) can resume his progress back down in grade.

16:00 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:30 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (6/5 -125%) Havaila	1.2 6/5(-125%)	(2) Havaila 6/5, Dual hurdles winner who found some improvement when opening his account at the fourth attempt in this sphere at Lingfield in January. Pulled hard when third in his follow-up bid back there (23.5f, heavy) less than a fortnight later and no surprise to see a first-time hood applied. Best with give in the ground although has form on good; interesting with a hood now tried.
4	4 (4) (13/8 +28%) Basford	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(4) Basford 13/8, Fair winner at 3m over hurdles. Has taken to fences quite well this season, second of 4 at Fakenham (29f) last month. Needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) 6 days ago however, and first-time blinkers are given a whirl. 0-4 over fences, but won three good-ground hurdles; interesting in new heagear.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +72%) I See You Well	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(3) I See You Well 10/3, Plenty of wins in a long career but losing run is mounting up and he's been tailed off all 3 starts this season. Six-time course winner; last win was December 2022; below-par this term; on a good mark.

16:30 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

HAVAILA likes a stamina test and a first-time hood could be instrumental in the six-year-old doubling his tally over fences. Drying ground would be a slight concern, but the son of Le Havre otherwise holds a major chance off just 4lb higher for his Lingfield success in January. Basford ran a couple of nice races in defeat before a disappointing latest effort at Market Rasen and he looks the main threat, ahead of I See You Well.

Preference is for HAVAILA, who opened his account in this sphere at Lingfield on penultimate start and shaped as if still in good form despite pulling hard when third back there since. A first-time hood should help him settle and he can get the better of Basford, who has taken to fences quite well this season but needs to leave behind a below-par effort at Market Rasen last week.

Fitting a hood could be a good move for HAVAILA and he gets the vote ahead of Basford who also wears new headgear.

17:00 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +21%) Lumi Plugin	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(1) Lumi Plugin 11/4, Runner-up both starts in maiden hurdles and has bettered that form in handicap hurdles, latest when not enjoying run of the race at this venue, third of 6 in handicap hurdle (25f, soft), having been well-backed. Seems versatile regards ground/trip and should run another big race back in distance. 0-8; two good runs in handicaps on last two starts; trip should suit; player.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -75%) Smugglers Haven	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(2) Smugglers Haven 7/2, Point winner showed improved form when successful on handicap debut at Hereford (19.7f, good) last month, having hung left. Followed up that victory when much straighter over C&D in November, making-all. Lightly-raced sort may do better still and is much respected in her bid for a hat-trick. Has improved since going handicapping, winning last two (good); back from a break; chance.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +44%) Two To Tango	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Two To Tango 5/2, Had placed on 6 of 8 hurdles starts and looked capable of running of winning a race at this level before a disappointing effort at Taunton last month when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle (19f, soft). Has since had wind surgery and merits consideration if back on song. 0-11; several good runs this term (2nd over 2m3f in December); wind op since; place chance.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +17%) A Tickatickatiming	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) A Tickatickatiming 5/1, Course winner who comes here in good nick, third of 6 in 2m handicap here last month, showing she can still be a force in this sphere. Back up in trip and weighted to go well off a 2 lb lower mark. Bumper/hurdle winner here; best run for a while when third here last time; this stronger.
5th	4 5th (4) (80/1 -60%) Brave Jen	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Brave Jen 80/1, Didn't need to improve to double tally in 5-runner handicap hurdle before being sold out of Tom Ellis' yard for £5,000. Subsequently struggled in a stronger race on stable debut when last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f) and has a bit prove now stepping back up in trip. Two wins for Tom Ellis; stays 2m4f; good going suits; below par on stable debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 -75%) Roman Roy	7 7/1(-75%)	(5) Roman Roy 7/1, Placed in bumpers and although his best effort in novice hurdles came at this venue, his finishing effort was found to be lacking when turned over at short odds in a 4-runner race. Ran even worse at Taunton last time (following second breathing operation) and others have a more convincing profile. Bumper 2nd; beaten at odds-on first two runs over hurdles; had two wind ops; h'cap debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 0%) Gloire D'athon	33 33/1(0%)	(6) Gloire D'athon 33/1, Prolific early in his chasing career (winning 5 of his first 6 starts) but has lost his way over fences and fared no better when pulled-up back over hurdles in December. Difficult to fancy on most recent evidence. Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; below form last year; well treated but plenty to prove.

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

The still low-mileage SMUGGLERS HAVEN impressed when landing the second leg of a brace of wins with a smooth effort over C&D most recently and has strong credentials back fresh on the back of a break. Lumi Plugin has been knocking on the door of late and is another solid contender back in trip despite failing to justify favouritism over 3m2f here last month. Two To Tango completes the shortlist.

There's a couple in here who need to be ridden positively, and that could set the race up for the more patiently handled LUMI PLUGIN who has been knocking on the door of victory. Course-winner A Tickatickatiming merits plenty respect from her falling handicap mark, while Smugglers Haven remains of interest in her bid for a hat-trick. On first run since wind surgery, Two To Tango is also a player if bouncing back from a disappointing effort.

The choice is LUMI PLUGIN\ who has been placed over 1m7f and 3m1f on his last two starts and may well be ideally suited by this trip.

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.
