UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

BOB BOB RICARD confirmed promise shown in bumpers when a pleasing second on his hurdling/seasonal debut at Wetherby in October and, with improvement likely, he is fancied to get off the mark. Hurricane Danny left his comeback run well behind when runner-up at Chepstow 10 days ago and there should be plenty more to come from him, while Bentley's Return can also make the frame.
Prediction : 1st Bob Bob Ricard 2nd Hurricane Danny 3rd Bentleys Return

SCENE ONE justified strong market support when making a winning debut over fences at Fakenham three weeks ago and a 3lb rise for that effort is deemed lenient. The seven-year-old remains open to plenty of further improvement and he makes slightly more appeal than Heros, who also struck on his chasing bow at Taunton last month. The consistent Aviles is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Scene One 2nd Heros 3rd Aviles

CLASSIC LORD's Ludlow third is strong form and he built on that when a 14-length winner at Fontwell subsequently. The Tim Vaughan-trained five-year-old is seemingly learning all the time and he looks capable of defying a penalty. Onewayortother wasn't disgraced behind the exciting Willmount at Newbury last month and he demands respect. Goodwin, Avada Kedavra and Pyrotechnic add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Classic Lord 2nd Onewayortother 3rd Goodwin

MIDNIGHT MARY posted a solid third on her reappearance over C&D last month and any improvement, racing off the same mark, could result in the seven-year-old landing the spoils. Gold Clermont wasn't disgraced when making the frame over hurdles at Lingfield and she warrants respect as a dual track-and-trip winner. Tip Top Mountain could also have a say on his return to a class 4 contest.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Mary 2nd Gold Clermont 3rd Tip Top Mountain

A first-time tongue-tie appeared to work it's magic for THE HEIGHT OF FAME, who ran out a comfortable winner at Wincanton in October. A 7lb rise for Keiran Burke's mare doesn't look insurmountable and a brace could be in the offing. Ilovethenightlife, who picked up Grade 2 honours at Newbury back in the spring, performed too badly to be true when pulling up on her seasonal debut at Wincanton and she's feared most if near her best, ahead of A Tickatickatiming.
Prediction : 1st The Height Of Fame 2nd Ilovethenightlife 3rd A Tickatickatiming

BALTRAY improved from his first to second jumping start when an easy winner at Hereford, and the step up in trip can help him progress further as he makes his handicap debut off a workable mark. Clongowes was in command at Newton Abbot when falling at the last in May and he must enter calculations on his first run for Neil King. C&D winner Stanley Pincombe and Kansas Du Berlais are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Baltray 2nd Clongowes 3rd Walk Of No Shame

Nicky Henderson has an excellent record around here and he may about to unleash a smart sort in Irish point-to-point winner WESTERN HARMONY, who was a costly purchase at the Goffs UK Spring sale. He is related to multiple winners and may have too much for Electric Mason, who ran a highly encouraging race on his Rules debut when third at Ascot. Mount Gay Run should come on for a satisfactory effort first time out at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Western Harmony 2nd Electric Mason 3rd Mount Gay Run
