Plumpton Race 4

Bettom Supports The Bentswood Hub Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $20,295

ICARE GRANDCHAMP (4) has only missed the frame once from six starts since moving to the Gary and Josh Moore stable including chasing wins under Caoilin Quinn at Newton Abbot and Southwell. Ticks plenty of boxes eased in trip. Top selection. NON STOP (1) is a four-time hurdle winner still searching for his debut success over the larger obstacles. Climbs in journey and looks interesting. Market to guide. COBBLER'S BOY (2) has won and placed from two starts at this level. Last of five on chase debut at Warwick in latest. Better expected racing third-up. IT'S EASY (5) could take advantage of a class drop and might feature.

Useful type. Resumes off a 52 day letup. Last run raced on the pace prior to fading finished seventh of 15 runners at Ascot on December 19 over 3100m, on slow going 10 len behind Dance And Glance with 75kg at $13. Race before came from midfield and won by 1.3 len Wincanton on December 4 over 3000m defeating Came From Nowhere with 74kg at $13 in a hurdle. Looks very hard to beat if he is on-song.

Third-up today. Resuming finished eighth of 9 starters at Haydock Park on December 20 over 3100m, 36 len behind Saligo Bay with 71kg at $9. Second run from a spell ran last in a small field at Warwick on January 23 over 3200m, 38 len behind Jour D'evasion with 69kg at $4.50. Impressed last start. Sure to prove harder to beat this time.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up ran on from midfield; ran last in a small field at this track on November 17 over 3400m, 43 len behind Siam Park carrying 71.5kg at $9. Second run from a spell finished ninth of 11 starters at Exeter on January 9 over 3500m, 37 len behind Bonza Boy with 75kg at $34. Tough assignment here. Looks safely held on recent form.

Last run made some head-way from midfield; finished seventh of 8 starters at Fakenham on January 18 over 4200m, 27 len behind Belle Montrose carrying 70kg at $5.50. Before that raced on the pace prior to fading finished eighth of 15 runners at Cheltenham on December 13 over 4100m, 12 len behind Party Vibes with 67kg at $12. Worth another chance.
