UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

HERMINO AA showed more than enough on his hurdles debut at Doncaster to suggest that he can get off the mark here, with the slight rise in distance expected to suit. Bertie Blue also looks as though he could also be aided by going up in trip, while Aldsworth ran with credit over C&D last time out and may be open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Hermino Aa 2nd Bertie Blue 3rd Aldsworth

Runner-up on three of his last four starts, SHAW'S CROSS deserves a change of luck and this looks like a good opportunity for the veteran to regain the winning thread. Sherborne must improve on what he has shown on his most recent outings but is not dismissed, along with Doyannie, who is only making her second start for this yard.
Prediction : 1st Shaws Cross 2nd Sherborne 3rd Doyannie

PONCHO sets the standard following an excellent runner-up effort on his hurdles debut at Wincanton. Conditions should be in his favour once more and he gets the vote ahead of Trevor's Lad, who ran well on his debut when third at Fontwell last November. Tapley will need to improve on what he has shown lately but he should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Poncho 2nd Trevors Lad 3rd Tapley

BURROWS PARK gained a sixth success over hurdles when making all to win in comfortable fashion at Exeter earlier in the month. The veteran might face a sterner test for the lead in this deeper contest, but he doesn't look overburdened by a 6lb rise and gets the vote. Sirobbie ran his best race for Ian Williams when collared close home at Ludlow recently and looks the chief threat, ahead of C&D winner Kansas City Chief.
Prediction : 1st Burrows Park 2nd Sirobbie 3rd Kansas City Chief

Uallrightharry won over C&D in good style last month and a 5lb rise in the ratings doesn't look insurmountable given the manner of that success. However, the 11-year-old has struggled to win off this mark before and it may be worth chancing SIZING CUSIMANO, who wasn't disgraced when last seen jumping out to his left at Taunton and may be able to capitalise off a tumbling rating. Last-time-out winner Art Of Illusion looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sizing Cusimano 2nd Uallrightharry 3rd Art Of Illusion

Tommy Dillion romped home in the mud at Lingfield last month to gain a first success under Rules and he can't be ruled out despite a 12lb hike in the handicap. However, with this likely to be less of a stamina test, a case can be made for EXECUTIVE POOL, who finished 26 lengths behind in third. Better is expected from the son of Churchill on this sounder surface and he gets the vote. Inferno Sacree is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Executive Pool 2nd Tommy Dillion 3rd Inferno Sacree
