Can McCoy land the spoils on River Beauty?

"When my favourite trainer and jockey team up then I always take note, as do the layers, particularly in bumpers as Nicky Henderson and AP McCoy have a fantastic record together, particularly in the early part of the season"

Carl is focusing on the National Hunt action at Plumpton where he has a pair of bets for Monday

Oh Dear! what a shocking pair of Flat cards at Windsor and Pontefract, filled with traditional end of season mediocrity.The shape of things to come in the coming weeks is National Hunt racing which is where my attention will be focusing on Monday at Plumpton. I reckon the angle is to double up and I am looking to bookend the card at the east Sussex track.

When a horse with a three figure mark on the Flat goes jumping it is always worth taking note. Rated 107 on the level, Fairmile (14:20) is a very exciting recruit to hurdling and George Baker will be looking to much better prizes than this maiden hurdle at Plumpton for his new acquisition.

Fairmile has been called some names for his antics on the Flat but he really should win this, if not I would suggest there will be some long faces. The change of stable may give Fairmile some new found interest, likewise the hurdles. I think the horse is well worth backing, he should be far too good for this lot today. He could be excellent value at a price around [4.0].

When my favourite trainer and jockey team up then I always take note, as do the layers, particularly in bumpers as Nicky Henderson and AP McCoy have a fantastic record together, particularly in the early part of the season. River Beauty (17:20) will likely be a short price but on a day like this it is worth taking what you can and I will be doubling up my two selections for maximum return. River Beauty looks the best bet of the day.
