In the
Class-5 Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton over an extended 2m4f on soft ground, the Flemensfirth gelding,
Flemen's Tipple, has an
e/w squeak in this event. Form adds-up pretty well, and distance and going should be OK. Stan Sheppard rides for the Andy Irvine yard.
15/2 (Bet365/Wm.Hill) best price at time of writing.

Hmm, although up in the van most of the way, did not hurdle particularly well at all. Trainer Andy Irvine reckons he's a chaser, and that's where the gelding's future lies. Think I'll put this one on my tracker and see how he gets on when put to Chasing. Not giving-up on this one yet .
(Had a couple of
shekels on
Precious Bounty in the Hunters'Chase at Stratford (17:15))
