4/1

Proved a different proposition to on chasing debut to get off the mark back from 10 weeks off/wind op at Sedgefield (17f) on Boxing Day, battling well. Could have more to offer up 5 lb.

Form: 534-681

Enrichissant^t,v1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 103

9/2

Not won for a while, his mark reflecting as such, and he turned in a sour display here last time. Fitting of visor could help and previous Uttoxeter effort was encouraging.

Form: 4P6-P5P

Flaminger^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102| BF| C

3/1

Plumpton and dual Fontwell winner. Struggled when well supported in first-time headgear at latter track on Boxing Day (held in third behind Ben Brody). Down another 4 lb. Will pop up again soon.

Form: P26P-63

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 89| CD

11/4

Good record at Plumpton, second in this last year before landing a couple of C&D events. Placed once more here over further last time and seems sure to go well again.

Form: 41-7323

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex| OR: 87

14/1

Well held in 4 races over hurdles for yard this season (including in handicap latest) and quickly switches to chasing.

Form: 53-7P6P

Elisezmoi^h,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 86| BF

6/1

Winning hurdler in France. Yet to strike over fences for this yard, often not seeing his races out. Down another 3 lb. Jockey bookings suggest Flaminger is the pick of the yard's pair.

EN COEUR is yet to run a bad race over the Plumpton fences and has been placed behind improvers the last twice. He deserves a change of luck and could get back to winning ways. Blueberry Wine looked a different proposition when scoring at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and has an obvious chance if backing that up. Enrichissant and Flaminger can't be ruled out, either.
