Plumpton Race 5 - Betgoodwin Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle
FINAL STRAW (1) made a strong return from a spell scoring by 2L a hurdle over 4900m at Kempton Park. Could be fitter with more to offer. Leading contender. I LOOK HOW I LOOK (3) resumes after 554 days. Provided a solid runner up effort at Ludlow tackling 4200m last campaign and shapes as a key top three hope. Warrants serious consideration. ANNIE NAIL (6) lifted on her latest outing finishing fourth attempting a 4200m chase at Fakenham. Can continue to improve and makes solid appeal. MINELLA KAISER (2) is back from 283 days off. Although without a hurdle win is well placed to show more in this sphere.
