PLAY SMARTER

DAME DU SOIR remains favourably handicapped (has been competitive off marks in the 120s) and she’s taken to resume winning ways down in trip/grade. Veteran Ben Brody could be interesting back in trip, while Shaw’s Cross deserves a change of luck. En Coeur has finished out of the places just once from 11 visits to Plumpton but has an 8lb rise to overcome for his latest victory here.

HORSE CARE AT PLUMPTON

At every race meeting at Plumpton there are three specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. During a race two vets follow the action from the centre of the course and can attend a casualty in the same response time as the Paramedic team responsible for human casualties. The third vet is based at the Stable Yard where a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race.
