Plumpton Race 1 - Betty Chantler Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
BASS HUNTER (2) First up from a break of 27 weeks and was overpowered late when 3rd first up last preparation at Cheltenham. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Good enough for this and worth a bet . ANNIVERSARY (1) Displayed potential when winning by 1 1/2L last run in a hurdle at Fontwell and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should be going forward early. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. BANKATARY (4) Disappointing effort when 7th last start at Lingfield. Has the ability to turn things around and going over more ground. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. MARNIER (5) Subpar when 11th last run at Epsom but racing over more ground. Has a nice turn of foot. Gets some weight relief. One of the hopes.

Solid effort when winning by 1 1/2L last run in a hurdle at Fontwell and form has been improving over recent runs. Shows good early pace. Should put in a decent effort.

Started $8.50 and only fair when 7th last start at Lingfield. Has the ability to turn things around and rising in distance. Capable of winning this.

Started $9.00 and disappointing run when 11th last run at Epsom but facing a rise in trip. Shows very good finishing speed. Suited by the weight drop. Respect the betting.
