Plumpton Race 7 - Starsportsbet.co.uk Hcp Hurdle
EZ TIGER (4) is three from five over course and distance following a narrow victory in this handicap hurdle grade seventeen days ago. Ticks all the right boxes to follow up. Leading contender. CREST OF ARMS (5) looks progressive managing a pair of placings during May with a 4L second in a 3200m Hexham maiden hurdle preceding a 3.5L third attempting the same journey at Worcester. Trainer maintains a good strike rate here. Respect making handicap debut. BASILETTE (2) brings consistent flat form gaining a 1.25L success in a 2400m handicap at Brighton. That was before a good hurdle return when 6.25L third in a higher standard track and trip handicap hurdle. Every chance. Previous Plumpton winner ACTIVIST (1) rates next best.

Useful mare. Last outing finished third in a small field at this track on October 19 over 3200m, 6 len behind Nap Hand carrying 68kg at $4.50. The start before that; won by 1.3 len Brighton on October 6 over 2400m defeating Foinix carrying 61kg at $4.50. Well suited here and should prove hard to beat.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation didn't finish the race at Leicester December 4 over 3200m. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len Market Rasen July 6 2025 over 3300m slow track defeating Spot On Soph with 74kg at $2.50. Have to take on trust here and not expected to threaten.

Useful gelding. Last start favourite; won by a nose this track on October 19 over 3200m defeating Latin with 75.5kg at $3 in a hurdle. Run before finished ninth of 13 starters at Worcester on August 23 over 3200m, 21 len behind Network Rgb carrying 75.5kg at $21. Impressed last start. Ideally placed for going back-to-back.
