Plumpton Race 1 - Richard Soan Roofing Services Novices' Hcp Chase
HARD STARE (1) Fresh after a break. Flashed home late into 3rd last run in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Should jump out and bowl along. Good form for this class and absolutely good enough for this race. TOM TAGGLE (2) Ran well when 3rd last run in a chase at Worcester and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Can go through the gears. Looks promising. COULD BE YOU (3) Finished 5th last time in a hurdle at Southwell. Not hopeless. LANCIER DES OBEAUX (4) First up after a break of 27 weeks. Ran 6th last run in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Worth a look and is a rough hope.

Racing fresh today after a break. Rattled home nicely into 3rd last run in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Has early speed and positions nicely. This race suits.

Nice run when 3rd last run in a chase at Worcester and getting better in recent performances. Has very good closing speed. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Resuming after a 27 week break. Came in 6th last run in a hurdle at Ffos Las. Very unlikely to shake these.
