Praeceps sets the standard on his third to Fusil Raffles in the Adonis at Kempton in February and he has since acquitted himself well enough in competitive handicaps at Cheltenham and Ascot, but a chance is taken that ZANZI WIN could have more to offer following a C&D success earlier in the month. The Gary Moore pair of Flaminger and Furia D'Oudairies look best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zanzi Win 2nd Praeceps 3rd Flaminger

14:25 Plumpton

SIXTIES SECRET represents a yard that enjoys targeting the Sussex venue, and her sole victory over timber came here in September by 11 lengths. She returned from a break with a satisfactory effort to finish fourth at Fontwell last month and the step up in trip can bring about further improvement. Lady Maleficent showed little in the autumn but has to warrant respect after a 144-day absence, while Perfect Moment is open to progression now switching her attention to handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Sixties Secret 2nd Lady Maleficent 3rd Perfect Moment

Romain De Senam got the better of Not Another Muddle at Fontwell over an extended 2m5f recently, but the drop in trip is more likely to suit the latter with the way he travelled through that contest. However, MERCIAN PRINCE can return to winning form as he sports cheekpieces after struggling to land a blow in the Topham and he is only 4lb higher than for his dominant triumph at Kempton in January.
Prediction : 1st Mercian Prince 2nd Not Another Muddle 3rd Romain De Senam

15:35 Plumpton

ITSONLYROCKNROLL still held every chance when falling three out at Fontwell and providing that blunder hasn't knocked his confidence, he could prove difficult to beat in this event. Bolister continues to go well in defeat and should run another solid race, while Midnight Jitterbug also merits shortlist inclusion following his third-placed effort at Taunton.
Prediction : 1st Itsonlyrocknroll 2nd Bolister 3rd Midnight Jitterbug

16:10 Plumpton

BROTHER BENNETT was an impressive nine-length winner over C&D last time and a 7lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. No No Cardinal is 1lb lower than when runner-up at Fontwell and should give another good account, while the veteran Kastani Beach is no forlorn hope switching from the smaller obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Brother Bennett 2nd No No Cardinal 3rd Kastani Beach

16:45 Plumpton

Course winner The Tin Miner needs a betting check for a new yard, while the veteran Bostin showed some fight when third over C&D in February and would be of interest if building on those exertions. Both lack the scope for improvement that BONBONNIERE possesses, though, and it takes a brave punter to dismiss one of Dan Skelton's currently. She was far from disgraced when third on her handicap debut at Fakenham and should be wiser for that experience now upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Bonbonniere 2nd The Tin Miner 3rd Bostin

17:20 Plumpton

KING CNUT has won around here on fast ground in the past and bounced back to a bit of form when third at Exeter 13 days ago. Chris Gordon's charge receives 15lb from Darebin, and might just be open to greater improvement at the age of five.
Prediction : 1st King Cnut 2nd Darebin 3rd
