UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

PIPING ROCK is getting the hang of things over hurdles and appeals the most after three consistent efforts since he debuted under Rules. With the trip and ground suitable, another step forward can see the son of Poet's World get off the mark. Five Bar Gate has a first-time tongue-tie added and, as a previous course winner, he looks a big danger. Catchintsavo is another reliable option to consider.
Prediction : 1st Piping Rock 2nd Five Bar Gate 3rd Catchintsavo

RAP SOUL won with plenty in hand over C&D last month and looks progressive enough to deal with a 12lb rise. Carpe Diem is an obvious threat based what he has shown since reverting to racing under Rules. He should go well if there is enough give in the ground to bring the best out of him, while Lunar Ocean is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Rap Soul 2nd Carpe Diem 3rd Lunar Ocean

This is a good opportunity for LORD OF THE GLANCE to gain a first career success. Having posted his best effort yet when a close second at Fakenham, the Alex Hales-trained seven-year-old won't need to find much to go one better. As Simon The Seagull and Pink 'n Purple are both out of the handicap and Kotari hasn't been seen over hurdles for 452 days, Desert Halo looks the biggest danger.
Prediction : 1st Lord Of The Glance 2nd Desert Halo 3rd Simon The Seagull

INFERNO SACREE built on a string of consistent displays when tackling 3m for the first time and getting his head back in front at Taunton. The eight-year-old may well have more to offer over staying distances and can strike again off a 5lb higher mark. Ferret Jeeter won over C&D last time and commands plenty of respect, while Confinentic appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Inferno Sacree 2nd Ferret Jeeter 3rd Confinentic

SCOTTISH KING only went up 4lb for a comfortable success at Market Rasen on his latest outing and a similar kind of performance would make him very hard to beat, especially with all of his rivals having something to prove. Felton Bellevue could prove the main threat if repeating his C&D victory two starts ago, while first-time cheekpieces might aid the cause of Minella Kaiser.
Prediction : 1st Scottish King 2nd Felton Bellevue 3rd Minella Kaiser

With plenty of these having questions to answer at the moment, it is hard to oppose LASKO DES OBEAUX. Harry Derham's gelding has made the frame in all three novice/maiden starts and an opening mark of 112 should be workable. Baltray must not be discounted, despite disappointing last time, while Valadon and Galactic Charm are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lasko Des Obeaux 2nd Baltray 3rd Valadon

OTIE'S FRIEND failed to build on a very promising debut second when seventh at Kempton a couple of weeks ago. However, that wasn't a poor performance given the strength of the contest and the five-year-old tops the shortlist here. Any market support for newcomer Delgany Second Now would have to be noted, while Blue's Secret Gem and Silk Mountain are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Oties Friend 2nd Delgany Second Now 3rd Blues Secret Gem
