Plumpton
2.10 Jackson Hill
Has shown some promise for Warren Greatrex early in his career and debut for new stable wasn't bad when 5th over 2 m 3 after holding 2nd until 2 out at Fontwell recently. This time down in trip to 2 m. Stable had some placed runners last 14 days. Good conditional takes off 3 lb. Interesting each way chance at 20/1.
Trainer Milton Harris on his website about Jackson Hill:
"Placed in his two bumpers, one in Ireland and one in Sandown. Looks sure to be better on soft ground. Another future chaser to go novice hurdling this year."
2.45 Wenceslaus
Encouraging debut over fences last time when staying on 3rd behind a Skelton hotpot without being given a hard time. Has won at Plumpton over hurdles and trainer does really well with his chasers this season. This one is a very attractive option to take the hot fav on.
3.15 Furia D'Oudairies
I fancied this horse last time at Warwick when it took a heavy fall early in the race. Looks to have a future in this game though. Was 3rd in a french bumper beaten by 2 horses that were sold to the Willie Mullins yard. Stable usually does well at Plumpton and had several placed runners last 14 days.
3.45 My Way
Highly regarded by top connections. Hurdling campaign last season didn't lived up to expectations but going over fences was always the main target. Had a wind surgery before this chasing debut. McNeill owned Young nh horses have won several races in England and Ireland recently which underlines the quality their horses have this season.
4.10 Fukuto
Cost connections 52.000 Euros when bought in france. David Bridgewater holds him in some regard. Was given stiff tasks on first runs in britain but could well progress this season. This race is easier. Could complete a double for connections.
