Plumpton
Race 1 – Sir Raj 37/100
SIR RAJ (4) resumes after a two month break. Closed off previous preparation with a second on the flat at Wolverhampton AW and is of interest switching to hurdles.
Race 2 – Gambie Tiep 44/100
GAMBIE TIEP (1) carries top weight. Won three times from past four outings. Justified favouritism scoring by 10L at Fontwell Park and must be firmly in the mix.
Race 3 – Pollypockett 12/10
POLLYPOCKETT (9) could be competitive off a low weight. Finished runner-up past two outings and is proven tackling these conditions. Leading chance.
Race 4 – Pillar Of Steel 21/20
PILLAR OF STEEL (3) is enjoying this level with a win and three placings the past four outings. Only beaten 2.75L third at Southwell in latest. Leading chance.
Race 5 – Only Money 2/9
ONLY MONEY (1) carries top weight. Not seen since a fourth in May tackling a higher graded handicap steeplechase. Consider.
Race 6 – Easy Peasy 1/25
EASY PEASY (2) provided a winning start to career scoring by 1L at Killarney. Received a break since and can go back to back.
Hamilton
Race 1 – Blue Storm 1/10
BLUE STORM (1) made a winning debut tackling this trip at Newmarket prior to a sixth of ten in the 5f Listed National Stakes at Sandown during May. Down in grade finding good opportunity. Top chance.
Race 2 – Aconcagua Mountain 1/8
ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN (1) maintains strong form with a Musselburgh runner-up effort last weekend preceding a 1.75L success attempting a competitive twenty runner handicap at Ayr in a higher grade on Thursday tackling this trip. Leading contender despite the short turnaround.
Race 3 – Bringbackmemories 1/8
BRINGBACKMEMORIES (1) ran well at Redcar on Tuesday when a solid third in a 1 ¼m handicap. Can build on that effort. Rates highly.
Race 4 – Love Lies 15/20
A competitive race despite the small field. LOVE LIES (3) looks a promising filly having won twice from three outings in her career with an Ayr 6f maiden victory by 1.75L preceding a 3.25L success in a Newcastle AW 6f novice event two weeks ago. Top chance.
Race 5 – Blazing Son 19/20
BLAZING SON (5) showed plenty of ability at Doncaster two runs back when a nose second tackling this handicap grade and trip on soft ground. Fair Redcar fifth (dead-heating with Mighty Gurkha) last month. Leading player.
Race 6 – Barrolo 21/100
BARROLO (1) maintains a consistent profile this season with a pair of victories at Musselburgh and Newmarket preceding a solid third in a 1 ¼m handicap at Newcastle AW. Leading contender.
Race 7 – Kells 21/100
KELLS (7) scored by an impressive 8.5L on Monday at Thirsk over this distance among similar company. Hard to beat.
