Plumpton Race 3 - Dine & Stay At The Jolly Sportsman Handicap Hurdle

PURE THEATRE (1) showed a good level of ability on Monday managing a 4.25L second contesting a higher level 5000m mares handicap hurdle at Wincanton. Leading contender. ABBEYHILL (5) produced a decent fourth in a 4800m heavy ground handicap chase at Ffos Las before disappointing at Fontwell. Shortlist to make amends. STYLIA (2) ran with credit during January when fourth in a 3000m maiden hurdle at Wincanton. Open to further progress. BELLA CAVALLA (6) finished top-three at this venue latest two outings. Interesting.
