It usually pays to follow Gary Moore horses at Plumpton and I do fancy two today. I can’t quite believe the price of Hermino Aa in the 1.40 as I think he is potentially the most progressive in the line up. The Moores have been quoted saying how much they think he will improve for a fence this season and although he got no further than the first at Ascot last time I think he is the one to be on here. The favourite has taken to this discipline but I think this will be his hardest test to date and giving weight to the selection won’t be easy.
Later on the card, KOTMASK looks primed to come forward from his chase debut when he was handled considerately due to him perhaps not being 100% fit. He jumped well in the main and the drop back to the bare 2 miles shouldn’t pose a problem. The favourite looks a tough nut to crack but the selection receives 6lb off him which may just swing the race in his favour.
Plumpton 1.40 – Hermino Aa
Plumpton 3.20 – Kotmask
