UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

KAJIKIA justified short odds in comfortable style over an extended 2m4f at this venue last month and makes just his second start over the smaller obstacles. With the likelihood of lots more to come, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Diamond Hunter has shown ability between the flags, finishing second in three from his four starts, and the son of Diamond Boy warrants a market check. Any market confidence behind hurdling newcomer Dayzee would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Kajikia 2nd Diamond Hunter 3rd Dayzee

KING OF THE STORY readily took care of Gone In Sixty by three lengths at Worcester last month and might have been let off lightly with just a 5lb rise. The son of Yeats is in the form of his life at present and is worth sticking with. The aforementioned Gone In Sixty is likely to be thereabouts again, while Nevendon looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st King Of The Story 2nd Gone In Sixty 3rd Nevendon

EZ TIGER had Lady Caro (third) behind when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month and is expected to confirm that form. Alex Hales' charge remains on a workable rating and has a previous C&D victory to further aid his cause. Hill Station was denied by the smallest of margins into second at Fontwell on his most recent outing and is a solid proposition to watch out for. Fascinating Lips is next best.
Prediction : 1st Ez Tiger 2nd Hill Station 3rd Fascinating Lips

ALIEN STORM hit the woodwork on his return to action at Fontwell last month and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark alone. With the Charlie Longsdon string in fine order, it would be no surprise to see the son of Getaway regain the winning thread. Hecouldbetheone was convincingly beaten into second in this grade at the same venue earlier in the month, but is relatively unexposed over fences and might be worth another chance. War Lord isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Alien Storm 2nd Hecouldbetheone 3rd War Lord

NAP HAND makes a lot of sense in this handicap hurdle as he's coming in here race-fit following a creditable second-placed effort here last month. A useful performer on the Flat, Alan King's charge is unexposed in this sphere and likely has more to offer. Of the others, Tapley is a two-time C&D winner on an attractive mark and he's noted along with the lightly-raced Paul Nicholls inmate Nardaran.
Prediction : 1st Nap Hand 2nd Tapley 3rd Nardaran

Just the four declared here and both Tropical Speed and Blackacre were engaged to run at Stratford and Newton Abbot respectively on Saturday. Both are given a squeak if turned out quickly here, but it might be worth concentrating on MASTERDREAM, who has won his last three starts in this sphere and was kept ticking over courtesy of a spin on the level at Bath 11 days ago. Ken Roy might do better now sent chasing after undergoing wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Masterdream 2nd Ken Roy 3rd Tropical Speed

STAMINA CHOPE is the sole C&D winner in the field and that will stand her in good stead off a light weight. Third at Worcester in August, she certainly showed a lot more when fourth here last month as she was beaten a little over two lengths and perhaps given a bit too much to do. Dave Roberts' charge seems to be coming back to her best and makes more appeal than Hurst Hill, who enjoyed a profitable summer campaign. Keep an eye on Kottayam too.
Prediction : 1st Stamina Chope 2nd Hurst Hill 3rd Kottayam
