Abingworth

3/1(+57%)
(6) Abingworth 3/1, Posted his best effort in this sphere when close third on his handicap debut in February. Shaped as though in good form since and he's capable if getting involved from this mark.

Proper Twelve

7/1(+50%)
(9) Gavroche D'allier 7/1, Cheekpieces on when good third in 19.5f handicap at Huntingdon in January and back to form when fourth at Taunton a month later. Headgear back on and ran no sort of race in the mud 3 weeks ago.

Belgarum
6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Belgarum 6/1, Stepped up on form in his qualifying runs when second of 6 on handicap debut at Fontwell a month ago. That wasn't a deep race but he's in good hands.

8th (8) Sadie Hill (18/1 +64%)
Sadie Hill
18
18/1(+64%)
(8) Sadie Hill 18/1, Improved when second on yard/handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, good) in October but has disappointingly failed to build on it, showing nothing on chase debut over Christmas. Needs to bounce back after a break.

9th (4) Beaufort West (25/1 -56%)
Beaufort West
25
25/1(-56%)
(4) Beaufort West 25/1, Successful off 4 lb higher mark at Uttoxeter last March and placed first 3 visits here this season. Heavy defeat over 25f a month ago and now back in trip with a tongue tie on.

Watchoutitscookie
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(14) Watchoutitscookie 3.5/1, Low-key start but much more like it of late, landing 9-runner handicap at Wincanton and better form when second at that venue 18 days ago. Slight drop back in trip will suit so he's on the shortlist.
13
10th (13) What's My Line (14/1 +0%)
What's My Line
14
14/1(+0%)
(13) What's My Line 14/1, Showed improved form to score readily in refitted cheekpieces at Fontwell (21.7f) in October. However, his record is a patchy one and he failed to really threaten both starts during the winter. Since had a breathing op.

Oscarsman
9
9/1(+55%)
(1) Oscarsman 9/1, Off 24 months ahead of this season and only glimmers of promise, showing very little switched to fences at Fontwell in February.

Of Corse I Can
66
66/1(-164%)
(3) Of Corse I Can 66/1, Runner-up in a point and promising start over hurdles when second of 6 in novice at Ffos Las in June. Well held all 3 starts since, though handicap debut wasn't devoid of promise.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ROYAL MER shaped well for most of the race on his first run back since having a wind operation when second at Hereford last month and looks sure to make his presence felt in what looks an open contest on paper. Gary Moore runners always merit plenty of respect here and he is double handed with Abingworth and San Pedro De Senam. The latter has run with credit on both outings this year and may pose the biggest threat to the selection.

WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE is now going the right way from his basement mark and there should be more races to be won with him. Gary Moore can boast a tremendous record here and his pair Abingworth and San Pedro de Senam are feared most.

The unexposed BELGARUM can gain a first win on just his sixth career start.

6
1st (6) Pleasure Garden (8.5/1 +39%)
Pleasure Garden
8.5
8.5/1(+39%)
(6) Pleasure Garden 8.5/1, Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott but well beaten over hurdles for current yard, including on handicap debut latest. Remains to be seen whether a switch to fences improves matters.
2
2nd (2) Elmount (5/1 -11%)
Elmount
5
5/1(-11%)
(2) Elmount 5/1, Irish import who struck at the third time of asking for new connections when making all in 2m Catterick handicap chase in February. Went off too hard when 15 lengths third at Warwick since.
9
3rd (9) Clondaw Robin (50/1 -25%)
Clondaw Robin

(9) Clondaw Robin 50/1, Yet to score over fences and pulled up here on latest start 4 weeks ago. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Harry The Norseman
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(8) Harry The Norseman 3.33/1, Winning hurdler for Paul Webber and also scored on the Flat for Louise Allan last year. Attracted market support but ran poorly in Southwell handicap hurdle on yard debut in February. Switches to fences now with cheekpieces refitted.
5

Albert Van Ornum
50
50/1(-150%)
(5) Albert Van Ornum 50/1, Fair winner on the Flat in France but largely struggled over hurdles for Gary Moore and fared no better switched to fences at Lingfield in Decmeber. Has changed yard ahead of this first outing for 4 months.
3
|F| (3) Extraordinary Man (9/1 +18%)
Extraordinary Man
9
9/1(+18%)
(3) Extraordinary Man 9/1, Fair maiden over hurdles (twice placed during 2021/22) who probably ran to a similar level sent chasing after 12 weeks off when second in 3-runner affair at Leicester in February. Could only manage a remote fourth at Stratford since. Has undergone wind surgery since then.
10
|R| (10) Checkitsme (125/1 -150%)
Checkitsme
125
125/1(-150%)
(10) Checkitsme 125/1, Won a Leicester claiming hurdle for Milton Harris last winter. Placed twice later in that campaign but has offered little in 5 outings this term, tailed off when refusing on recent Warwick chase debut.

|U| (1) Hector Jaguen (1.75/1 -17%)
Hector Jaguen
1.75
1.75/1(-17%)
(1) Hector Jaguen 1.75/1, Came good in 5-runner Fontwell handicap 5 days ago. That was a weak race but this is little better and he's much respected under a 7 lb penalty.
7
|PU| (7) Agent Saonois (5.5/1 +39%)
Agent Saonois
5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(7) Agent Saonois 5.5/1, Opened hurdles account when scoring over 2m at Uttoxeter during the summer and similar form whern placed on 2 of his 4 starts over fences. Jumped left when third at Taunton on latest outing in November and this return to a left-handed track ought to suit. Player.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HECTOR JAGUEN arrives here on the back of a comprehensive victory at Fontwell on Tuesday. The six-year-old has a 7lb penalty for that success and is likely to take all the beating, providing the quick turnaround doesn't inconvenience him. Extraordinary Man is having his first run back since wind surgery and could be fairly handicapped if that aids his cause. Mordred bounced back to form when third at Southwell last time and is respected.

With a return to a left-handed track likely to suit it might be worth chancing AGENT SAONOIS to make a winning return from a break for the Neil Mulholland team. Last week's Fontwell scorer Hector Jaguen rates an obvious threat, while Mordred also merits respect on the back of his Southwell third.

With this track likely to suit, AGENT SAONOIS is taken to gain a first chasing success.

1.88/1(+37%)
(4) Iskar D'Airy 1.88/1, Back on track over hurdles when runner-up in handicap at Lingfield (2m) in February, clear of the rest. With tongue strap reapplied, creditable fourth at this course (17.8f) 13 days later and this drop back in trip should suit. Respected.
8
2nd (8) Highland Frolic (5.5/1 -214%)
Highland Frolic
5.5
5.5/1(-214%)
(8) Highland Frolic 5.5/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat for the Gosdens and has made the frame on 3 of his 6 starts over hurdles, running well when fourth of 9 in juvenile at Newbury in March. Below form in handicap last time, but he sets the standard in this contest.
3
3rd (3) Happy Boy (2/1 +50%)
Happy Boy
2
2/1(+50%)
(3) Happy Boy 2/1, Ran to a fair level in bumpers and has shown promise in both starts over hurdles, unable to sustain effort when fifth of 12 in maiden at this C&D last time. Shortlisted.
5
4th (5) Ceci Wells (66/1 -32%)
Ceci Wells
66
66/1(-32%)
(5) Ceci Wells 66/1, Little solid form on the level and has fared no better in 2 starts over hurdles, tailed off at Kempton on her latest outing. Blinkers now the choice of headgear, but it remains easy enough to look elsewhere.
10
5th (10) Tune In A Box (5/1 -43%)
Tune In A Box
5
5/1(-43%)
(10) Tune In A Box 5/1, In hood for debut, looked in need of the experience but was getting the idea late on when fourth of 8 in bumper at Taunton 38 days ago. Could be capable of playing a part on hurdling bow.
7
6th (7) Eliza Dolittle (40/1 +20%)
Eliza Dolittle
40
40/1(+20%)
(7) Eliza Dolittle 40/1, Bred to better at longer trips over jumps and ran to only a modest level in bumpers. Likely to have finished well held when falling at Kempton on hurdling debut last month and she looks one for the longer term.
9
7th (9) Mister Upton (10/1 +70%)
Mister Upton
10
10/1(+70%)
(9) Mister Upton 10/1, Showed more on hurdling debut than he had in a bumper when eighth of 18 in novice at Wincanton in February, albeit never better than mid-field. However, failed to build on that effort when pulled up last time.
2
8th (2) Elzaaro (125/1 -25%)
Elzaaro
125

(2) Elzaaro 125/1, Made little appeal on paper and no impression when sixth of 9 in bumper at Fontwell on debut in February. Best watched as he now goes over hurdles.
6

Effernock Dieubon
40
40/1(-150%)
(6) Effernock Dieubon 40/1, Down the field in maidens/handicaps on the Flat in Ireland for Miss Katy Brown in 2020. Off over 2 years, but as a sister to useful hurdler/chaser Effernock Fizz there's hope for better as she goes hurdling.
LTO Selection:
15:05 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

HIGHLAND FROLIC was thrown into a very competitive event at Musselburgh just over a fortnight ago and, despite finishing seventh on that occasion, he looks to have been found the ideal opportunity to open his account over hurdles. The Tom Lacey-trained Tune In A Box was strong in the market when fourth on debut in a bumper at Taunton and improvement is likely, while another worth consideration is Iskar D'airy, who was a creditable fourth here in February.

Having made the frame 3 times over hurdles, HIGHLAND FROLIC sets the standard in this line-up and he can open his account now in maiden company. Iskar d'Airy could be the main danger back down in trip, ahead of Happy Boy who showed promise at this C&D on his latest start.

This might be the chance for HIGHLAND FROLIC to gain an overdue win.

Northern Poet
2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(1) Northern Poet 2.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who stepped up on his chase debut when landing a 5-runner Huntingdon handicap (2½m) by 4 lengths from William Cody in February, despite not travelling well for much of the race. Should be in the mix again from 3 lb higher.

Hiway One O Three

(2) Hiway One O Three 2.25/1, Rattled off a quick hat-trick over hurdles last spring. Came good at the third time of asking over fences when pulling 14 lengths clear at Market Rasen in February. Lacked a bit of zip a week later at Leicester (20.1f, good) but can regain the winning thread upped in trip.
4
3rd (4) Pawpaw (3.33/1 -21%)
Pawpaw
3.33
3.33/1(-21%)
(4) Pawpaw 3.33/1, Winning hurdler who improved for a change of headgear to get off the mark in this sphere at Hereford (20.9f) 16 days ago, suited by the way things developed under a patient ride. Cheekpieces surprisingly back on and he may well prove vulnerable from this higher mark.
3
4th (3) Uallrightharry (3/1 +54%)
Uallrightharry
3
3/1(+54%)
(3) Uallrightharry 3/1, Runner-up 4 times last season and got his head in front for the first time since October 2019 when scoring in decisive fashion over C&D in December. Creditable third at Kempton (24f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago but likely to find a couple too strong here.
LTO Selection:
15:40 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A convincing winner at Huntingdon last time out, course winner NORTHERN POET looks just the type to improve for stepping up in trip. A 3lb rise for that success looks manageable and he may have too much for the likes of Pawpaw, who won decisively at Hereford last month, and Hiway One O Three. The latter has done well since going over fences and is another that has potential over further.

HIWAY ONE O THREE came good at the third time of asking over fences at Market Rasen in February, and having lacked a bit of zip under a penalty at Leicester a week later, he's fancied to regain the winning thread stepped significantly up in distance. The main danger could be Northern Poet, who ultimately justified support but was never travelling well when scoring at Huntingdon last time. Pawpaw can fill out third spot.

In the expectation that the longer trip will suit, HIWAY ONE O THREE is selected.

(6) Blueking D'Oroux 4.5/1, Clearly always been well regarded (sent off short-priced favourite for Grade 2 juvenile on UK debut) and finally showed why after, having had a wind-op, landed a 13-runner juvenile hurdle (50/1) at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) last week. Highly respected under penalty.

Awkwardness well on show in Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso since and he doesn't appear to be learning with experience, for all he lurks on a good mark.

(2) Effernock Fizz 14/1, Useful hurdler/chaser won the Welsh Champion Hurdle (Handicap) at Ffos Las in October. Out of depth in the Arkle last time but had been running well at a lower level previously and she's not discounted back over the smaller obstacles.

16/1(+20%)
(9) Glorious Zoff 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott proved he retains ability for new yard when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Still potentially well treated.
LTO Selection:
16:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

AUCUNRISQUE may have won this contest last year off 14lb lower, but there is every reason to suggest he can do so again if bouncing back to the form that saw him make all to claim success in the Betfair Hurdle. Chris Gordon's charge has a terrific strike rate over the smaller obstacles, and he is narrowly preferred to recent Ascot winner Blueking D'oroux, who has a 7lb penalty to shoulder, and the capable Teddy Blue.

AUCUNRISQUE gives more than a stone away to all but one of his rivals but he holds a significant class edge in this field and the nature of this tight Plumpton track should see him to good effect from the front. Blueking d'Oroux belatedly proved why he held a good reputation at Ascot last week and he's highly respected under a penalty, whilst Luttrell Lad was an eye-catcher in the County Hurdle and should win races for the Lacey yard.

After a storming run at Cheltenham, LUTTRELL LAD (nap) can win this good prize.

(1) Love Is Golden 2.5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who joined new yard for 40,000 gns in October. Has impressed in winning two of his three starts over hurdles, readily making all in a novice at Newbury on latest, and might have been let in lightly off 125.
6
|PU| (6) Hall Lane (22/1 +0%)
Hall Lane
22
22/1(+0%)
(6) Hall Lane 22/1, Mount Nelson gelding. Showed ability in a Kempton bumper on debut last spring and defied market weakness to make winning hurdles debut at Wetherby (19.7f) in October. Back on track at Warwick last time and could up his game for a switch to handicaps.
LTO Selection:
16:50 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

LOVE IS GOLDEN has taken to hurdling well and was unchallenged when making all to score by an impressive 39 lengths over an extended 2m at Newbury last month. The five-year-old must be of significant interest switching to handicapping for the first time in this sphere. He does have to shoulder top-weight, though, so El Muchacho can give him plenty to think about dropping in class from his latest run. Tightenourbelts is another to bear in mind on his handicap debut.

LOVE IS GOLDEN has taken well to hurdling and, having doubled his tally in ready fashion at Newbury last time, he looks potentially well treated off an opening mark of 125. Tightenourbelts is open to improvement and Bold Reaction also looks the type to do better now handicapping.

There's no shortage of interest in this field but topweight LOVE IS GOLDEN could be the one to side with in his first handicap hurdle.

6.5/1(+19%)
(5) Ramore Will 6.5/1, Four-time course winner who recorded back-to-back chase victories at Lingfield this winter. Showed nothing back from 12 weeks off here last month but could be closer to form back down in trip now.

(4) Dindin 7.5/1, Has had a busy season and resumed winning ways in a race that panned out well for him at Wincanton (20f) 5 weeks ago. 3 lb rise fair (won off 100 in September) but this is tougher.

1.62/1(+28%)
(3) Doyannie 1.62/1, Ridden with a bit more patience when off the mark in 17f handicap here in February from The Cathal Don, but absolutely chucked it away in her follow-up bid at Taunton, going like the best horse at the weights but idling markedly as soon as she hit the front. Blinkers the new headgear of choice now.

1.75/1(+13%)
(1) The Cathal Don 1.75/1, Winner of a Tipperary maiden chase for Henry de Bromhead in July 2021. Little show for Seamus Mullins last season but subject of market support and showed a lot more starting out for new yard when 2¾ lengths second to Doyannie here (17f) 6 weeks ago. Big player if building on that up in trip.

8/1(+56%)
(6) Conceal 8/1, Sent off 50/1 when scoring over fences for new yard in October. Backed that up with a creditable third at Uttoxeter next time but finished well held at Huntingdon (19.9f, soft) on Boxing Day. Freshened up since.
LTO Selection:
17:25 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A case can be made for several of these, but the vote goes to DOYANNIE, who was only narrowly denied over 2m at Taunton last month. Ben Godfrey negates all of the mare's 3lb rise for that run, with his claim being the same amount, and she must command respect in first-time blinkers, having scored here on her penultimate start. The Cathal Don, who was runner-up to the selection when last seen, and Dindin rate her most serious dangers.

THE CATHAL DON is very well handicapped on his best Irish form and could be capable of reversing placings with Doyannie after a promising return behind her here 6 weeks ago. He should stay this longer trip and makes a lot more appeal than his old rival who threw away her chance since at Taunton. Ramore Will can never be dismissed around here.

Blinkers could see DOYANNIE repeat her course win from February.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
