In the 2.00 at Plumpton there are a couple of interesting Chris Gordon runners and I can see both Blame The Game and Go Whatever picking up small races in the coming months. Of those at the top end of the market I'd narrowly favour HARD TO FORGET who has Course and Distance winning form, gets first time blinkers, has had 2 runs so no fitness excuses and is a pound below winning Course and Distance mark. I'll have a small e/w bet on that and keep a very close eye and track the 2 x Gordon runners.
In the more competitive 3.00 race I think that DONT BE ROBIN is the better value of the pair at the head of the market, I'd just be concerned about the trip for En Coeur and can't ever back a Gary Moore favourite, Larcadio and Ivilnoble should be capable of placing if coming on a bit for recent runs but the other e/w value may be BRIAC who has a bit more Chase experience than most, winning off 91, runner up off a mark of 98, looks well handicapped here off a mark of 93, and if just freshened up by a 2 month break should run well and another i'll keep an eye on Tracker wise. A small shrapnel e/w on both if that floats your boat.
