SUNDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER 2025
WELCOME
Good afternoon and welcome back to Plumpton for our 2025/26 Season with the
Season Opener Raceday
We trust you have all had a good Summer and looking forward to returning back to Plumpton, a course that is at the Heart Of The Community.
Over the summer, we’ve been busy here at Plumpton making a number of important improvements. The most notable is the revamp of the weighing room, which now provides modern, high-quality facilities for jockeys and key racing personnel, ensuring their needs are fully met on raceday. In addition, we have significantly expanded the onsite reservoir, which is now seven times larger than the previous one and enables us to collect and store grey water between November and March. This will play a vital role in supporting our long-term sustainability and water management efforts.
These upgrades reflect the ongoing commitment and investment from our owner, who continues to support the development of Plumpton both as a racing venue and as a forward-thinking organisation. We are proud of the progress made and look forward to seeing the positive impact these changes will bring in the seasons ahead.
Today we have 45 runners going to post over 6 races with £59,673 of prize-money on offer. Our feature on the track today is our fourth race, the £23,825, The Friends and Family Remembering Norman Sharpe Handicap Hurdle which was won by Enthused last year beating Carrigeen Kampa. This year’s renewal promises to be highly competitive, and we extend our best wishes to all the horses and connections not only in this race, but across the entire day’s card.
I would like to thank our Partners; Southern Cranes and Access Ltd, BetGoodwin and our new caterers Kalm Kitchen for their tremendous support for the 2025/26 Season, along with today’s sponsors, Secure My Future (SMF), Friends & Family of Martin Quinn, Weatherbys, Friends and Family of Norman Sharpe and Friends and Family of Mary & Barry Faulkner. We wish you all have a tremendous day.
It is a busy day, and both of our enclosures are open, with all Family Entertainment located in the Centre Course so all ticket types have access. Entertainment will include a thrilling wall trampoline stunt show – with the chance to try it yourself! Dive into fun with Nerf Battles, Zorb Balls, and a games room. Or why not try your hand at being a jockey yourself on one of our Equicizers (Grandstand & Paddock tickets only). There is plenty to keep the whole family entertained, with activities for all ages, plus an array of food and beverage options.
Looking ahead, we have five racedays before Christmas, so be sure to book early to secure our best-priced tickets. The festive fixtures are always in high demand, and if you’re considering hospitality on either Sunday 1st December or Sunday 15th December, we strongly recommend contacting our team now to avoid disappointment.
For the first time, we’re also offering Christmas Party Nights throughout early December. To find out more and reserve your place, please visit www.plumptonracecourse.co.uk.
Have a great day at Plumpton, Heart Of The Community.
Best wishes,
Craig Staddon Chief Executive

Under starter’s orders - Before a race, the starter brings the field of horses into order to prepare them for the start of the race.

The Dark Edge has the stamina needed for this trip having won over further at Warwick in March and he can go well. Stamina Chope scored over C&D in 2023 off 9lb higher and deserves serious consideration, but THE WISE TRAVELLER gets the nod. With three distance wins plus one over further to his name, the nine-year-old merits plenty of respect on his return to action.
totewin: The Wise Traveller
toteeachway: The Dark Edge
2 The recent Fontwell third Everest has a decent chance despite being put up 1lb by the handicapper. Character Testing looks more likely to handle the quicker ground than some and he can go well, but LADY CARO is preferred. Third at Stratford earlier in the month when sent off at 25/1 on her first start since April, she won over C&D in March off 3lb lower and may have more to offer.
totewin: Lady Caro
toteeachway: Everest
3 If KAJIKIA can transfer his best bumper form to hurdles, he could prove hard to beat. A winner at Ascot last November and third in a bumper here in April, the step up in trip looks just what he needs and he could prove to be a class above. Point-to-point fourth Whenthemusicstops is interesting ahead of his hurdling bow and he could pick up second, leaving Yarborough to follow them home.
totewin: Kajikia
toteeachway: Whenthemusicstops
4 Howth was a wide-margin winner at Newton Abbot in July before returning to the same venue and defying a double penalty when returned to novice company. The six-year-old may well have more to offer, but a chance is taken with NAP HAND. The five-year-old tasted defeat when sent off a warm order at Market Rasen but he remains capable of improvement and is worth another chance. Renoir completes the shortlist.
totewin: Nap Hand
toteeachway: Howth
5 ON THE GO ran with promise on his final outing of last season when fourth on handicap debut at Newcastle and Charlie Longsdon’s gelding has every chance of stepping forward, especially after a six-month break. No Guarantee has been knocking on the door recently and is likely to enter calculations, while others for the shortlist include Jubilee Gold and Eliza Dolittle.
totewin: On The Go
toteeachway: No Guarantee
6 MASKED MISTRESS stepped forward from her debut when scoring at Uttoxeter in July and the daughter of Masked Marvel appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to back that performance up. Nelrose is better judged on her first run when third at Worcester and that form entitles her to be in the mix, while newcomer Arms Park appeals most of the remainder.

The form of CINDERELLO’s Uttoxeter win has worked out well and she’s worth another chance reunited with Adam Wedge. The Dark Edge was at the top of his game over hurdles earlier in the year and could go well if none the worse for his fall on chase debut in May, while Luna Run finished third behind Cinderello when last seen and should remain competitive if in similar form following a break.

C&D winner LADY CARO looked as good as ever on the back of a 5-month break when finishing a good third at Stratford 2 weeks ago and, entitled to be sharper with that under her belt, she looks to hold sound claims from this sort of mark. Sain et Sauf is an intriguing debutante for Fergal O’Brien and confidence behind her in the betting would need to be viewed positively. Jet Patrol and Everest are others to bear in mind.

Yarborough hasn’t pulled up any trees this season but did offer something to work with on the first of his 2 starts over hurdles and may take second spot, while hurdle debutant Whenthemusicstops did manage to hit the frame in an Irish point in May.

NAP HAND was clearly disappointing when failing to land the odds at Market Rasen a month ago and another tactical affair would be a slight worry but he figures on a very tempting mark, so he gets the vote. Brave Knight drops back in class so is second choice, ahead of the prolific Howth.

Lots with chances but ELIZA DOLITTLE signed off last term with a C&D victory and is taken to make a winning return having gone well fresh in the past. Coup de Gold is on a losing sequence but figures on a handy-looking mark and is next on the list, while On The Go, Mr Le Philosophe and No Guarantee can’t be dismissed either.
