Plumpton Race 5 - Starsports.bet Juvenile Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Two-time flat winner BARBURY BOY (1) won a pair of 2000m flat handicaps this year at Beverley and Nottingham for current connections. Shaped well two starts ago when a neck second at Lingfield AW. Finds a nice opportunity on hurdle debut. Leading chance. CENTRAL COMMAND (2) showed ability on the flat including a 0.75L success in a 2000m handicap at Lingfield AW prior to a 2400m handicap victory at Doncaster during June. Makes appeal now hurdling. PANTILE'S GIFT (4) produced one win (2000m) and a pair of placings on the flat. Trainer worth noting and progress likely. ANTIQUARIAN (5) represents a notable local yard. Place hope.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 50 day let-up. Last run finished fifth of 9 starters at Sandown Park on September 16 over 2000m, 19 len behind Asset carrying 59.5kg at $7. Race before finished second of 8 starters at Lingfield All Weather on August 13 over 2000m, a neck behind Alice De Clare carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. Gets a chance to win. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign 6 of 10 runners at Epsom Downs July 1 over 2400m, 13 len behind Timber Twelve with 60kg at $7. Previous preparation first-up won by 2 len Newcastle All Weather May 1 over 2000m defeating Fallacious Promise carrying 61kg at $3.30. This looks an ideal race to launch the campaign.
