Plumpton

Made a winning debut over fences at Exeter (17.5f) in April and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f) in May. Remains low mileage and warrants respect on return. Had wind operation.

Returned to form when scoring over C&D last month and was only collared close home in follow-up bid at Wincanton (20.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Likely contender.

Won back-to-back handicaps at Worcester and Bangor this autumn and arrives on back of creditable second of 6 at Sedgefield (16.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Races off same mark here and holds solid claims.

Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Followed winning chase debut at this course (17f) in April 2023 with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat but he's entitled to need this run on the back of a 18-month absence.

Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when off the mark at the twenty-seventh attempt at Fontwell (19.5f) in April. However, she has failed to fire more recently, including on recent return at Lingfield.

Veteran who gained his first chasing success at this course (17f) in January 2023. Rather hit-and-miss since, though, and makes limited appeal. 2 lb out of the handicap.
