Earth King (Ire)

Age: 10
Weight: 12st 0lbs

Proved as good as ever on second start back after an absence when winning similar event at Hereford 3 weeks ago, picking off the long-time leader at the last. 4 lb rise might be enough to prevent the follow up.

Sea Invasion (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 11st 8lbs
Or: 114

Fine record at this course, notching up victory number 4 in 3¼m handicap chase last month in a change of headgear, getting on top late. Won back-to-back races this time last year and poised for another big run back over hurdles.

Jubilant (Fr)

Age: 7

Made up into a fairly useful chaser in 2025/26, winning 3 times, including over 3¼m at this track in December. Poor efforts the last twice, including back hurdling at Southwell 8 weeks ago, but 3 lb drop will help his cause.

Escapologist (Fr)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Or: 116

Seemed to benefit from the step back up in trip/switch to hold-up tactics when opening his account in handicaps at Market Rasen (23f) in March. Jumped poorly and well beaten there 3 weeks ago and has since left James Owen. Has looked a tricky ride and Sean Bowen booked for new yard.

Timeform Verdict

SEA INVASION is compiling a fine record at Plumpton and can land a fifth course success now back hurdling. Striking A Pose has found his form again and could go well from the front with the headgear back on.
