Plumpton Race 4 - Southern Cranes & Access Ltd Mares' Handicap Hurdle
LA MARQUISE (3) made the frame in the 2024 renewal of the G2 Nickel Coin Mares Jumpers flat event at Aintree. Showed progress eighteen days ago when 6L third in this handicap hurdle grade over 4000m at Wetherby. Top selection. AL SAYAH (1) is a four-time hurdle winner who posted a good fourth among this company tackling 4400m at Newton Abbot last October. Respect on comeback outing. DRAMATIC ENCORE (2) produced a decent fourth in this handicap hurdle grade attempting 4200m at Ludlow six weeks ago. Can build on that result. Holds claims. Two-time course winner A TICKATICKATIMING (4) enjoys this venue and placed second in a 3200m mares handicap hurdle here two starts ago. Not out of this.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last campaign made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 9 runners at Newton Abbot on October 18 over 4300m, 8 len behind El Capitaine carrying 76kg at $6.50. When resuming last campaign finished second in a small field at Exeter on April 2 over 4300m, 1.0 len behind Koukeo with 70kg at $3.30. Makes appeal.

Start before made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 7 runners at Sandown Park on December 6 over 4000m, on slow going 33 len behind Sunset Marquesa carrying 72kg at $5.
