Plumpton and Towcester

there is also N.H. racing in Britain today at Plumpton and Towcester, and although the quality on offer is clearly well below that at Aintree, there are still some interesting races and it could be siginificant that some of the top jockeys are riding at these tracks, e.g. Tony McCoy at Plumpton and "Choc" Thornton at Towcester. McCoy partners the useful Oceana Gold for Emma Lavelle in the novice hurdle at 14.30 at Plumpton, but German-bred Wendel (Charlie Mann/ Noel Fehily), who made such a positive impressiuon when winning on his debut over this CD 3 weeks ago, is obviously a big danger. McCoy´s best chance is probably the novice hurdle at 15.40, where he partners Brendan Powell´s Award Winner, a very easy winner at Exeter last time.Two more easy last-time-out winners who could score again are Panjo Bere (Gary and Jamie Moore) in the novice chase at 15.05 and Spanchil Hill (Jim Best/ Tom Scudamore) in the stayers handicap chase at 16.15. At Towcester, Colonial Jim (Neil Mulh olland/ Felix de Giles), another easy winner last week, can take the handicap hurdle at 14.50, while Thornton´s best chance appears to be Alan King´s Gold Reef in the mares novice hurdle over the same trip of 2 miles 5 furlongs at 15.25.
