Plumpton Race 1 - Gredley Charitable Trust Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN (2) provided an ideal return when scoring on hurdle debut at Fontwell over 3830m. With fitness improved rates a leading contender again. EL GALACTICO (1) resumes after 165 days. Impressed winning a 4670m Uttoxeter hurdle at just his second career start making him a key threat fresh. Warrants serious consideration. CALVINO (3) returned with a strong second at Newton Abbot attempting 3400m and is entitled to strip fitter placing him firmly in the mix. MANIGOD (4) showed ability on the flat in France and now racing for the Warren Greatrex team looks ready for a bold first jumps outing.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after seven months won by 34 len Fontwell Park on October 23 over 3830m defeating Legal Weapon with 71.5kg at $6 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished 14th of 15 runners at Aintree in the G2 Champion Standard Open NH Flat Race on April 5 over 3400m, 86 len behind Green Splendour carrying 71.5kg at $67. Can improve on first up performance. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Second-up today. Fresh up after seven months raced on the pace then finished second of 10 runners at Newton Abbot on October 18 over 3400m, a neck behind Kapitein Kool carrying 70kg at $5.50. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 6 len Taunton on April 9 over 3300m defeating Daring To Dream carrying 71.5kg at $1.80 in a flat. Not an appealing prospect despite a scarcity of opponents.
