UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

DREAM MACHINE has won three times on the level, including once for this stable last May, and is expected to give a good account of himself on his hurdles bow. Shut The Box finished fifth behind subsequent Triumph Hurdle hero Pentland Hills in a C&D contest on his hurdles debut three weeks ago and he is entitled to come on for that outing. There could also be better to come from Vision Clear now he has the benefit of his NH debut at Newbury behind him.
Prediction : 1st Dream Machine 2nd Shut The Box 3rd Vision Clear

THE CULL BANK followed up her victory between the flags in December when making a winning debut for Alan King in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time. She's expected to give a good account of herself under a penalty. Urca De Lima has been fitted with a first-time tongue-tie after winning a match at Fontwell and is respected, though the main danger to the selection may be course bumper winner Queen's Magic now she steps back up from 2m.
Prediction : 1st The Cull Bank 2nd Queens Magic 3rd Urca De Lima

GRAASTEN has shown promise in novice/beginners chases throughout the season, although disappointed when sent off a very short price favourite here last month. That said, he is entitled to improve for that first outing since November and the step up from the extended 2m3f trip could unlock further improvement. Morney Wing has had a consistent season and ran an excellent race to finish third in the Eider on his latest outing, while Enjoy Responsibly warrants respect following his third-placed effort at Doncaster.
Prediction : 1st Graasten 2nd Morney Wing 3rd Enjoy Responsibly

COLLODI arrives on the back of a good second at Warwick last Sunday and connections have found a nice opportunity to get him back in the winner's enclosure in a contest that lacks any depth. Ermyn's Emerald was a beaten favourite last time at Huntingdon but can benefit from the drop back from that extended 2m4f trip, while Enforcement is of interest making his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Collodi 2nd Ermyns Emerald 3rd Enforcement

LE CAPRICIEUX should appreciate this return to a softer surface for Gary Moore, and is fancied to resume his progress after winning at Fontwell last month in a small field. The eight-year-old could prove too strong for The Dubai Way, who makes his stable debut for Charlie Mann wearing cheekpieces for the first time. Vicenzo Mio could take advantage of his lowering mark soon, while The Tin Miner needs to bounce back after falling at Fakenham recently.
Prediction : 1st Le Capricieux 2nd The Dubai Way 3rd The Tin Miner

FIRST LORD DE CUET was the one to take from the race when second at Taunton on his debut under Rules last month and could go one better for David Pipe. A 3m point-to-point winner last May, the five-year-old appeals more than Get Up Them Steps, who finished fourth over 1m6f at Ludlow in this sphere in December and should appreciate the step up in distance. Mario De Pail looks best of the newcomers on paper.
Prediction : 1st First Lord De Cuet 2nd Get Up Them Steps 3rd Mario De Pail
