Plumpton Race 4

Kalm Club At Plumpton Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Prize Money: $25,830

Not much between all four runners. CHER MONSIEUR (3) brings the best form with the Neil Mulholland runner already making a promising start to the season running 1.5L second at Uttoxeter twenty-four days ago. Though with only one win from ten attempts holds solid form on this ground and would have a major chance if building on that effort. BEGIN THE LUCK (1) is a previous course and distance winner. Excellent recent performance when a 0.5L second at Fontwell tackling 3900m twenty days ago. Leading claims once again. I SHUT THAT D'OR (2) also boasts winning course form. Finished behind the just-mentioned last time and may reverse the outcome. Preferred over BAHTIYAR (4).

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming finished fifth in a small field at Haydock Park on April 4 over 4000m, 45 len behind Count Adhemar with 75.5kg at $13. Second run from a spell finished third of 8 starters at Fontwell Park on May 6 over 3900m, 6 len behind Mersey Street carrying 76kg at $29. Might find this a bit too tough.

Third-up today. First-up finished second of 12 starters at Southwell on March 24 over 4100m, 4 len behind Dartmouth Rose carrying 70kg at $3.80. Second run from a spell finished second of 9 starters at Uttoxeter on May 2 over 4800m, 1.5 len behind Jo Arengeot Bey Aa with 71.5kg at $3. Fitter now and making headway every start. Key chance on best form and can find winning form this time.

Last outing finished fourth of 8 starters at Warwick on May 9 over 4800m, 5.5 len behind Redbridge Rambler carrying 68kg at $4.50. The run before finished fourth of 7 runners at Ffos Las on May 5 over 4300m, 6 len behind Loki's Mischief with 68kg at $15. Won't find this easy.
