UK Horse Racing Tips: Plumpton

Although she's been expensive to follow in two outings over hurdles, compensation could be on the cards for EREMENKO's supporters. The five-year-old finished 30 lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Chepstow last month and she rates as the one to beat. Point-to-point second Risk De Cerisy is a potential fly in the ointment on her Rules/stable bow for Dan Skelton and market support would be interesting. That Is Blue is best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Eremenko 2nd Risk De Cerisy 3rd That Is Blue

Delgany Deadline has improved with each outing over fences, culminating in a triumph at Leicester 40 days ago, and a 5lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold display. However, SWEET NIGHTINGALE was more taking when landing the spoils at Exeter recently and she may be able to shrug off a 7lb rise. Ballyfinn continues to slide down the ratings and shouldn't be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Nightingale 2nd Delgany Deadline 3rd Ballyfinn

GOODWIN FACE lost little in defeat when finding only a rival at the beginning of his resurgence too strong here last May. A 1lb nudge up the ratings looks lenient and the six-year-old could be poised to open his account on his comeback. Although Pottersmattyeeehaa could only muster a fourth-placed effort at Huntingdon, that looked a decent race for the grade. Matt Crawley's charge is feared most, ahead of Shalfa.
Prediction : 1st Goodwin Face 2nd Pottersmattyeeehaa 3rd Shalfa

Sea Thrift made the most of a small-field affair at Southwell and she merits respect given her record over fences. A 6lb rise does demand more of her and it could be worth taking a punt on ANGEL'S DREAM. The eight-year-old was going OK when making a bad mistake at the fourth-last over C&D and he may surprise. Away For The Night is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Angels Dream 2nd Sea Thrift 3rd Away For The Night

A change of tactics saw MONDO MAN get off the mark over hurdles in a facile manner over C&D on his penultimate start. Another cosy success followed as favourite in the Imperial Cup at Sandown and this progressive five-year-old, who was fourth in a red-hot handicap at Ascot just before Christmas, is very much the one to beat. Serious Challenge, Helnwein and Indemnity form the main body of opposition and are feared in that order.
Prediction : 1st Mondo Man 2nd Serious Challenge 3rd Helnwein

SUPERSTYLIN is on a roll and can follow up his latest win at Fontwell, despite a 4lb rise. Chris Gordon's consistent nine-year-old has scope to improve over the trip and the fitting of cheekpieces could be instrumental in further success. Sanitiser is open to progression regarding distance too and, having also won two of his last three starts, must be taken seriously. Next best is Inca De Lafayette, who has less to prove than Person Of Interest.
Prediction : 1st Superstylin 2nd Sanitiser 3rd Inca De Lafayette

RUKAANA didn't do much wrong when he finished a close-up third at Kempton and, from the same mark, he must have every chance of extending his run of good form. Ephyra commands respect on the back of her best effort yet over hurdles, while Eliza Dolittle and Washington Singer don't have much to find to make their presence known. Market House is fit from the Flat and could also have a big say.
Prediction : 1st Rukaana 2nd Ephyra 3rd Eliza Dolittle
