Plumpton Race 5 - Southern Contract Ltd Veterans' Handicap Chase
The grade-dropping CREDO (2) performed creditably when fourth in a competitive Class Two handicap chase at Haydock last time. Now back to his last winning mark and may score adopting first-time blinkers with Chad Bament taking off a valuable 5kg. NORTHERN POET (4) enjoys this venue and commands respect following a solid second-place finish to a progressive horse in a handicap chase over course and distance four weeks ago. SUPERVISOR (5) returned from a lengthy break to finish second at Warwick. May get involved with ground conditions to suit. FIRST LORD DE CUET (3) completes the shortlist.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after nine months finished second in a small field at Warwick 10yo+ STPLE HCP (C4) on December 31 over 4800m, on slow going 1.75 len behind Special Acceptance with 74.5kg at $2.50. Previously second-up finished second of 8 runners at Exeter 5yo+ HCP CHSE (C5) on March 8 over 4850m, on slow going a head behind Bampton Star with 77.5kg at $3.80. Definite chance. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
