Plumpton Race 2 - BetGoodwin Super Nigel Boardman Novices' Handicap Chase
In-form nine-year-old mare SWEET NIGHTINGALE (2) has been improving throughout this season with a good 6L third in a 4600m handicap chase at Taunton preceding an easy 10L victory among similar company over 4800m at Exeter a fortnight ago. Leading contender. DELGANY DEADLINE (3) made the frame twice tackling this trip in a similar level at Market Rasen and Sedgefield before a 3L success attempting a 4600m handicap chase at Leicester forty days ago. Big claims racing for a top yard. BALLYFINN (1) revisits a longer journey following a decent fourth in a 4200m handicap chase at Hereford. Might feature. MILAN MILOS (4) can fill fourth spot.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after three months finished fourth in a small field at Hereford on March 18 over 4200m, 10 len behind Kingcormac with 76kg at $6. Previously second-up finished seventh of 10 runners at Taunton on December 30 over 4600m, 35 len behind Fat Faced Columbo with 76kg at $12. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Recent form impressive for this race. Freshened for 40 days. Last start won by 3 len Leicester on February 24 over 4500m on rain affected going defeating Ronnies Reflection with 71.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. Race before led throughout and just faded finished second of 11 runners at Sedgefield on January 25 over 5260m, 1.0 len behind Slaney Opera with 66kg at $4.50. Forward showing expected. No surprise to see him in the finish again.

Last start finished third in a small field at Fakenham on March 13 over 4000m, 2.25 len behind Secret Vino with 64.5kg at $2.40. Start before ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 12 runners at Warwick on January 23 over 3800m, 6 len behind Jukebox Joker with 69kg at $12. Doubt the recent form will stack up.
