Plumpton today

jumps racing at Plumpton today and Barney Curley, whose string is now in good form, has two interesting runners. In the novice handicap hurdle at 16.50 CET he saddles Zabeel Palace (Paul Moloney), who came from a long break to win easily last time out and can follow up here, while in the bumper at 18.20 Moloney is again the jockey as Barney saddles the debutant Sure Fire, who has a super German pedigree, being a 3/4 brother to Stacelita and related to many other smart winners. River Beauty (Nicky Henderson/ Tony McCoy), who has not run for 18 months, is the logical form horse here and the same team cam hope for success with Scots Dragoon in the long distance handicap hurdle at 17.20, where recent winner Orchard King (Alison Thorpe/ Richard Johnson) looks the danger. Baily Storm (Tim Vaughan/ Richard Johnson), an easy last time out winner, should follow up in the novice hurdle at 15.50 but is unlikely to be at a decent price.
