PLAY SMARTER

EXECUTIVE POOL had a bit in hand when winning at Hereford and has the scope for better still based on Flat form, so he’s worth siding with ahead of his stablemate Tara Iti, who also arrives on the back of success at Fontwell. Glance At Me should also go well again.

Use Of Screens

It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the ground. This does not reflect on the severity of any injury, but allows the vet some privacy, and the patient a calm environment in which to make a recovery.

Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS’ TRAINING SERIES HANDICAP HURDLE RACE

Weatherbys sponsor the fifth race on the card on Plumpton’s Ladies’ Day, a Class 3 conditional jockey’s handicap hurdle over 2m4½f.

Seven go to post here and the weights are headed by Royaume Uni, who represents the Gary Moore stable The six-year-old son of Galileo won here at Plumpton back in 2021 and finished second over course and distance in October of last year, so he handles the track well. He unseated on his latest run at the first hurdle and connections will be hoping he can bounce back from a tempting mark here, as he continues to drop down the handicap, and he is now just 4lbs above his last winning mark.

Hell Red shares top-spot in the weights, and reverts back to hurdles here after a successful novice chase campaign last season. Busy throughout the summer months in 2022, Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old won four of his six starts between May and September before returning this April with a victory in a match race That run will have likely stripped him fit for this contest, but he does have to reverse a seven-length defeat back in March 2022 by the reopposing Royaume Uni.

Ashington is another who had his last start over the larger obstacles and returns to hurdles here after finishing third at Perth. A consistent performer, he finished inside the top three on five occasions last season and bids to enter the winners’ enclosure for the first time for trainer Mark Walford.

Jack Hogan finished fourth in the Conditional Jockeys Championship after a stellar season, and his services are called upon here by Nicky Henderson for the ride on Queens Rock. The sole mare in the field, she looks to be the most unexposed among the seven runners, winning two of her three starts over hurdles. She was impressive last time at Doncaster when running out a comfortable six-length victor and is a six-year-old who looks to be progressing in the right direction.

The nine-year-old Master Debonair is the oldest horse in the line-up, and he has a Grade 2 Supreme Trial Novices’ Hurdle on his resume from his days with Colin Tizzard back in 2019 Although he has yet to get his head in front since that day, a mark of 121 with regular pilot Ellis Collier on board could be tempting for a horse once rated 151 as a novice.

Toby Wynne is unable to utilise his claim in this contest, but he takes the ride on Sami Bear, who has raced here at Plumpton on six occasions, winning once. He showed real determination to win at Kempton on his penultimate start and he returns back to Plumpton here for Chris Gordon, who won this contest in 2019

Five-year-old Hasty Parisian has won just once over hurdles but has run well in defeat on both of his last two starts, finishing fourth in a strong Ascot handicap before finishing third at this track over the extended trip He drops back in trip here and has been rated as high as 116, and could take advantage of a sliding mark.
