The first of three selections comes in the Novices' Hurdle at 14:52 where Frost Moon (5/2) catches the eye as a horse with plenty more to offer over timber. The David Skelton-trained five-year-old boasts a form figure of 1-84 and arrives here on the back of a promising display that suggests connections have found the ideal opportunity to strike.

 

Plumpton's tight, left-handed circuit over 1m 7f 195y on Good ground suits a horse of this type ideally — sharp enough to handle the course and distance without the gruelling test that deeper ground would bring. With a decent handler in the saddle and a trainer who knows this track well, Frost Moon looks a solid each-way proposition on what should be a straightforward starting point in novice company.

In the BetGoodwin Sussex Stayers' Handicap Hurdle at 15:27, Good To Be Alive (7/2) holds strong claims as a horse who has proven himself at this course and distance before. The 3m trip around Plumpton's undulating Sussex track is a significant test of stamina, and this horse has demonstrated he handles the demands of the course with real authority.

 

With the ground riding Good — conditions that should play directly to his strengths — and a clear profile as a horse who travels prominently before finding plenty when asked, this looks a prime opportunity. Good To Be Alive has the form credentials to justify favouritism and, with the field looking wide open, his course form gives him a clear edge over the majority of rivals. A bold show is expected on what is his happy hunting ground.

The feature race of the afternoon, the Handicap Chase at 16:37, sees Sea Invasion (5/1) take top billing as a horse who absolutely loves it at Plumpton. This horse has a course record that speaks for itself — bold-jumping, front-running and completely at home on the left-handed circuit in Sussex.

 

Over a trip that suits his relentless galloping style, and with the ground at Good — his ideal conditions — Sea Invasion arrives with course-and-distance form that puts him clear of his rivals on a line-to-line basis. The 2m 219y trip around Plumpton's stiff fences regularly rewards the bold jumper and there is every reason to believe he can go well once again. With the prize money on offer and conditions firmly in his favour, a bold performance is anticipated from what looks comfortably the most reliable course performer in the race.
