UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

Having found only an unexposed rival too strong on her handicap bow at Ffos Las a fortnight ago, JASMINE D'AIRY holds leading claims reverting to maiden company. Harry Derham's mare is top rated and a first triumph over hurdles could beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Rules/stable debutant She Is For Me Boys, who was a winner of her sole point-to-point in Ireland. Lady Kluck is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jasmine Dairy 2nd She Is For Me Boys 3rd Lady Kluck

BOB BOB RICARD wasn't beaten far when finishing fourth in a class 2 event at Newbury 29 days ago. The seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his return to class 4 company and he shades the vote over C&D winner Alien Storm. Charlie Longsdon's inmate has proved triumphant on both outings over fences at this track and another good account is forecast. Chase/handicap debutant Le Fauve is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Bob Bob Ricard 2nd Alien Storm 3rd Le Fauve

Having regained the winning thread at Chepstow last month, My Friend Sean warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, an 8lb higher mark demands another career best from Tom Lacey's charge and UGO BINGO is more appealing. The six-year-old posted a solid second on his stable bow at Fontwell 23 days ago and a 3lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable. The downgraded Barrabool could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Ugo Bingo 2nd My Friend Sean 3rd Barrabool

Trainers Gary & Josh Moore are based locally and have a good record at Plumpton, suggesting bottom-weight HAVAILA, the only C&D winner in the field, has every chance. Beaten less than three lengths at Newbury last month in a similar race, he could get back to winning ways. Dan Skelton has two in here with Major Fortune the mount of Harry Skelton, while Hugos New Horse is worth another chance, despite pulling up at Windsor last time out.
Prediction : 1st Havaila 2nd Major Fortune 3rd Hugos New Horse

Four Willie Mullins runners here makes life interesting with SIR GERHARD the pick off a mark of 147 in first-time cheekpieces. Five wins over hurdles in the past include the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival in 2022, though he is now a veteran at the age of 10. She's A Saint is interesting with her recent Aintree victory her second start in two years and she may have more to offer, though Knickerbockerglory might be the pick of Harry Skelton.
Prediction : 1st Sir Gerhard 2nd Shes A Saint 3rd Knickerbockerglory

SIAM PARK has made an excellent start to his chasing career and stepping up in trip seemed to bring about further improvement when scoring comfortably from the front at Stratford last month. A 6lb rise for that success could prove lenient, and it may be that Taxus Baccata gives him the most to think about, having won over C&D on her penultimate start before a respectable second at Fakenham next time. Fontwell scorer Joe Cotton is another to note, as well as Shakeyatailfeather, who would be turning out quickly under a 7lb penalty after scoring at Cheltenham on Thursday.
Prediction : 1st Siam Park 2nd Taxus Baccata 3rd Joe Cotton

A valuable contest in terms of the UK's trainer's title, Willie Mullins sends over MR ESCOBAR, who makes his handicap debut over hurdles, having scored comfortably over shorter at Sedgefield in November. Running off a mark of 126 looks manageable for the seven-year-old, and he may have too much for Busy Being Busy, who arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of easy victories at Fakenham. A stablemate of the selection, King Alexander is expected to have a say on the drop in grade, along with the consistent Torrent.
Prediction : 1st Mr Escobar 2nd Busy Being Busy 3rd King Alexander
