In-form hurdler fancied to score again at Plumpton

West Country Tim Mitchell

Thundering Home (5.10 Plumpton, nap)

In good heart since readily scoring at Wincanton and remains fairly treated despite an 8lb rise. He is thought to have been found an inviting opportunity to follow up.

Others to follow
Chepstow 2.20 Point N Shoot, 2.50 Storm Alert, 4.00 Shintori, 4.30 Rafafie, 5.00 Swincombe Scorchio, 5.30 Warthog.
Plumpton 2.00 Fountains Windfall, 2.30 Goonjim, 3.40 Oscar Jane, 4.40 Finish The Story.

Lambourn James Burn

Midnight Maestro (3.15 Stratford, nap)

It could be a big week for Alan King and this five-year-old can get the trainer – who has a decent record at the track – off to a flyer. His form looks useful and a mark of 120 is workable.

Others to follow
Chelmsford 6.20 Mustarrid, 6.50 Chevallier, 7.20 Ibazz.
Chepstow 3.25 King's Tempest, 4.30 The Caller, 5.00 Lunar Flow, 5.30 Oliver's Island.
Plumpton 4.40 Royals And Rebels.
Stratford 2.10 Regal Gait.

North Colin Russell

Qaffaal (6.50 Chelmsford, nap)

Has enjoyed a fine winter and, although up in the weights, is particularly well suited by this track. He is fancied to give another good account back at a mile.

Others to follow
Chelmsford 5.50 Heart Locket, 6.20 Mums The Word, 7.20 Final, 7.50 Rag Tatter.
Stratford 3.15 Barrys Jack.

Newmarket David Milnes

Inniscastle Lad (7.20 Chelmsford, nap)

Stuart Williams-trained front-runner returns to action in a first-time visor after a winter break and should go close judged on his recent work on the Cambridge Road Polytrack.

Others to follow
Chelmsford 5.50 Bracken Brae, 6.20 Indian Dandy, 6.50 Horsted Keynes, 8.20 Strictly Carter.

Racing Post Ratings Steve Mason

Brice Canyon (2.30 Plumpton, nap)

Has run well in defeat on his last couple of starts and is weighted to reverse recent course-and-distance form with likely market leader Clonusker.

Topspeed Dave Edwards

Mustarrid (6.20 Chelmsford)

Romped home in a Wolverhampton maiden in December and, despite the anchor of top weight, Richard Hannon's promising three-year-old can add to his tally.

Longshot Ed Quigley

What Larks (2.50 Chepstow)

Shaped like he needed his last run and has some good form at this venue. He looks capable of going well off his current mark.
