Plumpton Race 4

Southern Cranes Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Prize Money: $18,450

SQUIGGLES (2) looked value for more than his neck winning margin at Doncaster and may defy a 2.5kg rise in weights racing for trainer James Owen. Always doing enough on that occasion to produce a winning handicap debut and could have plenty more to offer as a staying hurdler. RIVER TYNE (5) has won three of his last four fences outings. Respect revisiting hurdles off this inferior mark. Dropping in standard FORTUNA LIGNA (3) finished sixth in a more competitive event at Kempton late December and cannot be dismissed attempting this level. MIDNIGHTREFLECTION (1) might also be in the mix.

Race before finished second in a small field at Huntingdon 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on November 23 over 5000m, 1.3 len behind Saladins Son with 65.5kg at $2.90. Continues to improve.
