Smart performer who has won both starts over this trip and landed his only previous run at Plumpton. Drops back from 2m5½f today which should suit, though he has never raced on this ground so that remains a question. Trainer maintains a strong 22% strike-rate at the track from 49 runs.
-
2Tapley65/100
High-class performer with a solid strike-rate at this trip and a proven record at Plumpton where he has won twice from six starts.

-
