UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

Although a beaten odds-on favourite on his hurdling debut last month, ROMAN ROY can reward his supporters today. The son of Blue Bresil should appreciate a step up in trip on his second start following wind surgery and the yard have hit a real purple patch of late. Canal Court finished a distant second at Kempton recently but, with a tongue-tie applied for the first time, he is the main danger. Sign Again could chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Roman Roy 2nd Canal Court 3rd Sign Again

21lb clear of his nearest rival Kilcummin on official ratings and in receipt of 6lb, this ought to be a fourth hurdles success for the Jennie Candlish-trained MATCHLESS. Second in a 0-120 over 2m4f at Perth in September to solidify his claims further, the drop in trip should also suit. Tara Iti struck the woodwork in a similar event at Huntingdon six days ago and is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Matchless 2nd Kilcummin 3rd Tara Iti

MENAGGIO made the perfect start to life over fences when winning a three-runner C&D event last month. It's hard to know what he really achieved there and a 4lb rise will make things tougher, but he ought to progress and is taken to follow up. Sea Invasion makes his seasonal return/chasing bow and looks a likely type, although Everyonesgame, who held the highest rating of these over timber, might be well handicapped from a mark of 121.
Prediction : 1st Menaggio 2nd Sea Invasion 3rd Everyonesgame

Although still a maiden under Rules, Eaton Anne has done little wrong in his three placed efforts over hurdles to date. Olly Murphy's gelding is only 2lb higher than his second-placed handicap bow at Stratford and another prominent role is forecast. However, SMUGGLERS HAVEN accounted for a subsequent winner when opening his account at Hereford last month and the five-year-old may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. Highway One O Five can chase the duo home.
Prediction : 1st Smugglers Haven 2nd Eaton Anne 3rd Highway One O Five

Having tallied three victories over hurdles since racing under the tutelage of Olly Murphy in May, VOCITO could make the most of a lower mark over fences. The six-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes and he is narrowly preferred to fellow in-form rival Nevendon. The Nathaniel gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Fakenham and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent him from going close once more. Koenigsstern is unexposed in this sphere and he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Vocito 2nd Nevendon 3rd Koenigsstern

The fitting of a first-time visor enabled a career-best victory from MAGICAL ARTHUR when coming home 11 lengths clear of his nearest pursuer at Kempton recently. A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop the Jennie Candlish-trained six-year-old from going in again and he's taken to continue his upward trajectory. Bella Cavalla has filled the runner-up berth on her last two outings and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Chancellorstown.
Prediction : 1st Magical Arthur 2nd Bella Cavalla 3rd Chancellorstown
