Plumpton

Type Jump

First Race 12.35pm

Notable Jockeys

Top ten jockeys Richard Johnson, Robert Thornton and Tom Scudamore, and Gold Cup winning jockey Sam Thomas.

Notable Horses

The whole card is sponsored by Cenkos, a company set up by owner Andy Stewart whose colours are famous on all jumps courses these days. Cenkos was a great chaser in his day and won the Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1) at Sandown, a highlight of the racing season which takes place at Sandown next weekend. If Mr Stewart is sponsoring the whole card, it would be reasonable to guess he'd like a winner there. His only runner is Bobby on the Beat in the 3.40, trained by Paul Nicholls and ridden by Sam Thomas.

Little Shilling in the 3.10 is going for a five timer.

Notable Horses

C'Mon You Irons (8.50pm) is running a few days too late. West Ham managed to limit Premier League leaders Liverpool to a goalless draw last night, but it could be early encouragement for their next fixture against Tottenham next Monday.
