Plumpton Race 7 - Dragonbet The Roar Before Cheltenham Welcome Offer Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
With limited form on offer a market check could prove a helpful guide. DELGANY SECOND NOW (6) represents a leading stable and the four-year-old profiles well on paper being a son of Jack Hobbs from the mare Pretty Neat. Likely player first up. OTIE'S FRIEND (2) placed 3L second on debut attempting a 3200m jumpers flat race at Huntingdon before a Kempton seventh last month. Open to plenty of improvement bringing race experience. Makes appeal. BLUE'S SECRET GEM (4) races for a trainer and jockey combination worth noting. Daughter of Blue Bresil from the mare Aintnosanityclause. Interesting newcomer. MINT APPROVED (1) represents the Moore team and showed promise in Irish point-to-points. Looks one to note.

Second run from a spell finished second of 8 runners at Tinahely P2p on January 10 over 4828m, slow track; 2.5 len behind Lord Desart with 61kg. Cannot be underestimated.

Is third-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start made some head-way from midfield; finished seventh of 13 starters at Kempton Park on February 21 over 3200m, 15 len behind Fine Shot carrying 71.5kg at $26 and before that finished second of 8 starters at Huntingdon on December 22 over 3200m, 3 len behind Milpat carrying 72.5kg at $5. Gets a chance to win. Key chance on best and expected to measure up.

Resuming after a break; at only start last campaign on from midfield; finished fourth in a small field at Lingfield on December 21 over 3200m, 6 len behind Wilde's Legacy carrying 71kg at $10. Fitness an issue. Improvement likely but may need more.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Jack Hobbs out of Pretty Neat. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Worth watching for a betting push.

This Planteur bred filly is now four-year-old and his having her first race start. Making race debut here. Might just need this run but watch the market.
