1:08 Plumpton Tips

This O Murphy-trained 5-year-old gelding was most impressive on his debut over hurdles over two miles one furlong on good ground at Sedgefield 26 days ago when only beaten 1 1/4 lengths in second of the eight runners behind the B Haslam-trained Jolie Coeur Allen. So, with improvement likely and S Bowen in the saddle, he looks hard to oppose.

Made a respectable rules/hurdles debut at Worcester last month when despite clear signs of inexperience he finished 3rd of 15 over two miles. Should improve for that and holds strong claims.

Irish point form looks good with a second to a horse that has gone on to win under rules. Expensive purchase and they will hold hopes that he is better than this level. Looks overpriced and capable of surprising the two above him in the market. Yard can throw in bigger priced winners on this track.

Golden Circet, fifth on his hurdling debut over 2m 2f at Fontwell last month, should have come on for that run. Dropped in trip to 2m should suit and could well be able to win this race.

I'm a player with horse racing who likes to figure with pedigree. Suzy Wood is by Scorpion, which can indicate she can be a good-looking horse. Of course, that cannot make them win, but they like to get on with things, with being free. Her first run at Fakenham saw her fall when tired. This was over twenty furlongs. The step back to two miles and on this tight track could see her giving a good account with Andy Irvine being a local trainer.
