UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

ROMAN ROY failed to build on a promising debut when fifth in a Kempton bumper on his latest start in February, but Paul Nicholls' gelding still showed plenty of promise and could be hard to beat in this company. Dotties Star has been running well enough on the Flat of late to suggest he can make the frame, while Clinton Lane is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Roman Roy 2nd Dotties Star 3rd Clinton Lane

Lord Maher has to be of interest on his debut for these connections having won a Roscommon bumper in June, but marginal preference is for TOUQUET. The five-year-old scored on debut in a bumper at Sandown last November and can be given another chance following his subsequent defeat under a penalty at the same venue. Good Too was useful on the level and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Touquet 2nd Lord Maher 3rd Good Too

TIME TO BITE only found one too good when trying to land a double on his most recent outing at Fakenham in June and it would be no surprise to see him make a winning return off the same mark. Kankin failed to fire on his most recent outing but he is a player on his previous success at Fakenham, while Kalkas edges out Jack Doyen to be pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Time To Bite 2nd Kankin 3rd Kalkas

Placed on three of his last four starts in this sphere, ROYAL DEESIDE brings a level of consistency to this open contest and that may be enough to see him get off the mark under suitable conditions. Barenboim has yet to put it together for new connections but must enter calculations, along with Invictus De Brion and Sami Bear, who has dropped 4lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Royal Deeside 2nd Sami Bear 3rd Invictus De Brion

PRINCE QUALI has no margin for error off top-weight on his seasonal debut, but the way he got the job done when landing the double over 2m at Chepstow earlier in the year gave the impression that he would relish going up in trip and a 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him. A promising second at Kempton when last seen in May, Menaggio is one to monitor for market support on his chasing bow, while Icare Grandchamp looks to build upon a first career success at Newton Abbot in June.
Prediction : 1st Prince Quali 2nd Menaggio 3rd Icare Grandchamp

Only worn down late in the piece when attempting to land the double at Warwick in May, DAVIDOC had previously been an impressive winner over this C&D and returning to the Sussex track is a big plus as he looks to strike off 1lb higher. A career-best second in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock in May, Tapley can give him plenty to think about, along with For Pleasure, who should be race-fit after a recent spin on the level at Bath.
Prediction : 1st Davidoc 2nd Tapley 3rd For Pleasure

RIVER TYNE accounted for his nearest rival by over a length when scoring at Fontwell in May and she makes her return to action off 7lb higher. Nick Gifford's nine-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to record a double. Ballyrashane struck at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see him feature again following a 5lb rise, while Hobb's Delight is another to note on his chase debut.
Prediction : 1st River Tyne 2nd Ballyrashane 3rd Hobbs Delight

Belles Benefit was well beaten when second in a stronger event than this at Sedgefield last time, but she might get closer on the downgrade off a 1lb lower rating. However, it may pay to side with BELLA CAVALLA. Neil Mulholland's six-year-old finished over nine lengths clear of the third when runner-up over 3m2f here last month and was put up 5lb for that display. If she can reproduce that level of form, she could be the one to beat. Luna Run completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bella Cavalla 2nd Belles Benefit 3rd Luna Run
