Plumpton Race 2 - Dragonbet The Roar Before Bog At Cheltenham Novices' Handicap Chase

They could finish in racecard order with RAP SOUL (1) looking a big chance. The seven-year-old provided best form a fortnight ago scoring by an impressive 9.5L attempting a similar level course and distance handicap chase. Improving this season and ticks plenty of boxes. Leading player. CARPE DIEM (2) has been running well with a 14L victory in this company over 4000m at Huntingdon preceding second on heavy ground tackling the same track and trip eighteen days ago. Rates the main danger. LUNAR OCEAN (3) posted a smart 1.25L second in a 4000m handicap chase at Huntingdon prior to a disappointing fifth at Catterick. Shortlist as set to bounce back. GOGUENARD (4) might fill fourth spot.

Second-up today. Fresh up after three months came from midfield and won by 9 len this track on February 23 over 4000m slow going defeating Koenigsstern carrying 66kg at $4.50 in a steeplechase. Previously second-up settled back and ran on when finished seventh of 13 runners at Chepstow on November 5 over 3200m, 63 len behind Sober Glory carrying 71.5kg at $301. Should stay out of trouble against this small field and is the testing material.
