UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

Global Esteem sets the standard with an official rating of 103 and must enter calculations, although he was a well-beaten third at Hereford when last seen in November. Alain came from well off the pace to reach the frame at Fakenham last month and he appeals as a leading contender. SOLUTION, however, a two-time winner on the Flat, was sent off as favourite for a warm York handicap when last seen and he looks a solid proposition now sent over timber.
Prediction : 1st Solution 2nd Global Esteem 3rd Alain

The form of ELIZA DOLITTLE's recent C&D third has worked out well so Nick Gifford's six-year-old, who has scope for further progress over staying trips, could shed her maiden tag off an unchanged mark. Sandy Brook continues to edge down the weights and he might appreciate a return to better ground, while Amalfi Skyline, who reverts to hurdles following a mixed spell over the larger obstacles, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Eliza Dolittle 2nd Sandy Brook 3rd Amalfi Skyline

TOOTHLESS, a runner-up on each of his three starts over fences so far, appears to have been found the ideal opportunity to go one better. Magistrato is another who has been knocking on the door and he holds obvious claims, along with Aviles, who posted his best chasing effort to date when filling the runner-up spot at Fakenham last month.
Prediction : 1st Toothless 2nd Magistrato 3rd Aviles

MACARI is still of low mileage and, as he already has a course win to his name, returning to this venue is a major plus as he bids to exploit a potentially lenient rating on only his fourth handicap start. A C&D winner last May, Glance At Me rates the chief threat to the selection, although Andapa (second) was only three-quarters of a length behind her that day, so has to enter calculations returning with a first-time tongue-tie added.
Prediction : 1st Macari 2nd Glance At Me 3rd Andapa

The hat-trick seeking Yalla Habibi is a good starting point, as he is 2-2 for his current yard and looks capable of handling the 5lb rise imposed after his win at Kempton last month. However, this is a deeper race and there is an additional half a mile to tackle. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on A TICKATICKATIMING, who was a respectable second to a progressive type over C&D in March and notably runs off 1lb lower here. Ilanz and Beholden compete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st A Tickatickatiming 2nd Yalla Habibi 3rd Ilanz

This could prove a suitable opportunity for COPPERHEAD to get back on the scoresheet. Although Joe Tizzard's inmate has proved expensive to follow the last twice, the return to quicker ground conditions may prove fruitful. Jacamar failed to justify favouritism when only third of four on his stable bow at Ludlow last month, but the nine-year-old cannot be given up on yet, while Judge Earle could go very well if allowed a soft lead.
Prediction : 1st Copperhead 2nd Jacamar 3rd Judge Earle

Dance And Glance offered something to work with on his 10th-placed debut in a valuable bumper at Newbury in March. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is likely to prove more competitive in these calmer waters and he isn't taken lightly. However, EILEEN'S MILAN, a half-brother to Irish Grade 1-winning hurdler Farren Glory, boasts a smart pedigree. The son of Milan could take this en route to bigger things, while market support for fellow newcomer Moon Monarch would also be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Eileens Milan 2nd Dance And Glance 3rd Moon Monarch
