UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

Ask Peter was well held in fifth on her first start over hurdles at Fontwell in March, but could take a step forward after undergoing a wind operation. Even so, MACHETE BEACH looks the more appealing option. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old is two from four on the Flat and was sent off favourite off a mark of 84 at Newcastle when last seen, possibly suggesting he may show a lot at home. Sean Bowen is booked for Bohemian Breeze and he has to be respected as well.
Prediction : 1st Machete Beach 2nd Ask Peter 3rd Bohemian Breeze

PROPER TWELVE has made the frame on each of his last two starts in this sphere, most recently when finishing second at Bangor. The son of Presenting competes off an unchanged mark and may take full advantage. I'm Your Buckaroo finished a respectable third at Fontwell last time and should go well, while Flintara is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Proper Twelve 2nd Im Your Buckaroo 3rd Flintara

BIRDMAN BOB occupied the runer-up berth over C&D prior to being pulled up at Wincanton last time, but is easily excused for that effort after he was reported to have bled. The eight-year-old is taken to bounce back and regain the winning thread. Walkinthewoods was well beaten into fourth at Ffos Las last month, but a 2lb drop in the weights may help. McGrath From Clune can beat Clondaw Robin home for third.
Prediction : 1st Birdman Bob 2nd Walkinthewoods 3rd McGrath From Clune

Legendary Day won on the Flat at Lingfield in February and has to be of interest returning to hurdles. He can go well, but if PRINCE QUATTRO can recapture his best Irish form on his first start for James Owen, he could be the one. A winner at Limerick and Down Royal, he makes his UK debut carrying top-weight but that may not stop him. Goodwin Face is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Prince Quattro 2nd Legendary Day 3rd Goodwin Face

HECOULDBETHEONE may be appropriately named with two C&D wins, the latest in April off 1lb lower. The track certainly plays to his front-running style and if he can slip this field early, he could come home alone. Broderick is a model of consistency with five top three finishes in a row including a win at Newcastle, and he can mount a challenge, leaving Flimsy Nosebag as the pick for third.
Prediction : 1st Hecouldbetheone 2nd Broderick 3rd Flimsy Nosebag

A step up in trip enabled a career-best performance from SMUGGLERS HAVEN when regaining the winning thread over hurdles at Chepstow last month. The daughter of Elusive Pimpernel was a winner on her sole point-to-point outing and looks just the type to excel over fences. Sea Invasion also enjoyed the emphasis on stamina when landing the spoils over C&D 20 days ago and the seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Black Gerry.
Prediction : 1st Smugglers Haven 2nd Sea Invasion 3rd Black Gerry

A drop in distance worked against ARFURSGAL when finishing a well-beaten third at Fontwell in March. However, Anthony Honeyball's filly had previously posted a good second on her debut over an extended 2m at Newbury and could be worth chancing now faced with a stiffer test of stamina. It will be interesting to see how Queen's Theatre fares in the betting after an opening third at Stratford in October last year, while I'm A Believer is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Arfursgal 2nd Queens Theatre 3rd Im A Believer
