UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

All The Glory recorded a double in the summer and has match-fitness on his side, while Flidais ran well in second over 2m here last month, but they may be playing for second place behind SHANAGH BOB. The son of Mahler was purchased for 200,000 pounds following an impressive point-to-point success 11 months ago and Nicky Henderson will have his sights on much loftier targets later in the season for his five-year-old. He can begin to repay connections at the first opportunity by making a winning debut under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Shanagh Bob 2nd All The Glory 3rd Flidais

This represent a big drop in class for HIAOU on his debut for Chris Gordon after the six-year-old was well beaten in a competitive Leopardstown contest on his chasing bow for Gordon Elliott in the spring. He is well clear on official ratings as he reverts to hurdles and may prove too strong for Saligo Bay, who finished a long way clear of the third when runner-up in a selling handicap hurdle earlier in the month. Iddergem won a four-runner affair in this grade over 2m2f at Stratford earlier in the month and is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Hiaou 2nd Saligo Bay 3rd Iddergem

GENERAL MEDRANO has relished the switch to larger obstacles and made it 2-2 over fences when taking a 7lb rise in his stride to win well at Huntingdon three weeks ago. Emma Lavelle's gelding has gone up another 9lb for that victory but remains on an upward curve and this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Brave Kingdom has won two of his three starts over hurdles and is interesting on his handicap debut for Paul Nicholls, but it is nearly two years since we have seen him on a racecourse. The lack of a recent run also tempers enthusiasm for Ree Okka, but he mixed it in good company last season and must be respected.
Prediction : 1st General Medrano 2nd Brave Kingdom 3rd Ree Okka

EDE'IFFS ROCK has finished second on both starts over hurdles so far at Warwick and Newton Abbot. The five-year-old now switches her attention to handicap company where it wouldn't be a surprise to see her take a step forward. Duhallow Tommy is likely to improve from his latest effort at Fontwell, while Afta Party and Birdman Bob appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Edeiffs Rock 2nd Duhallow Tommy 3rd Afta Party

RAGAMUFFIN displayed signs of a return to form when third over C&D earlier in the month and Neil Mulholland's gelding could take advantage of what doesn't appear to be a particularly strong contest, especially with the handicapper leaving him on the same mark. Stanley Pincombe filled the runner-up spot on his return from a break at Exeter and is open to improvement. Others to consider are Punches Cross and Maroochi.
Prediction : 1st Ragamuffin 2nd Stanley Pincombe 3rd Punches Cross

NO RISK WITH LOU jumped with great fluency when winning on his chasing debut last month and an 8lb rise might not be enough to stop Alex Hales' charge from following up. The chief threat might come in the form of Gitche Gumee, who showed a consistent level of form over hurdles last season and he is likely to appreciate the switch to fences. Kotmask is unlikely to go down without a fight, while Aviles should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st No Risk With Lou 2nd Gitche Gumee 3rd Kotmask

With little pace on offer in this field, SAN PEDRO could repeat the tactics that saw him make all at Fontwell in May. The market suggested better was expected on last month's return, but he can take a step forward with that run under his belt. Baby Sham was far from disgraced over track and trip last time and Seamus Mullins' mare could fare better on her second start following wind surgery. Dear Ralphy is also noted.
Prediction : 1st San Pedro 2nd Baby Sham 3rd Dear Ralphy
