1:38 Plumpton Tips

Travelling Soldier can continue the good form of Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen. He is very consistent and looks to have a live chance here.

Shares hurdling with chasing, but even though Gone In Sixty is a bit of a bridesmaid, I think it can build on a recent 2nd here with today's jockey in the saddle. They went closest to getting a chase win last time together over 3m at Warwick, and this trip could be a better opportunity.

Has the size and scope to make a chaser, making his debut over the bigger obstacles here. Improved for going handicapping last season, when fitted with a tongue tie, and he should do better with another summer on his back.

Callum Pritchard couldn't use his claim for this mare's chasing bow at Warwick last time out, but he takes 5lb off today, and she has also been dropped a pound. There will be strong interest in the Bowen ride for this, but they are slower on the clock than this one in a pretty big way. Sweet Nightingale finished just behind Gone in Soxty at Warwick and is 7 lbs off than when they met there. The Skelton horse is an unknown over fences, but I wouldn't have the greatest of faith in Tristan Durrell. The selection has her first run here, but her sole career win was at Newton Abbot, which at least holds some similarities.

Nick Gifford has a new recruit to his stable, Touquet, lining up here with tackling fences for the first time. Was ex-Paul Nicholls trained and since being at this stable has had a wind operation. That can see this horse responding to James Davies driving to run a big race here. I used to like Nick's dad's horses when he was alive and in charge at Findon. It would be great to see this horse showing substance.
