Plumpton Race 2

Betty Chantler 97Th Birthday Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Stake: $40,590

DUBROVNIK HARRY (1) makes seasonal reappearance. Returns to fences in over two years where last seen placing 2.25L third contesting a Sandown Premier Handicap Hurdle over 4700m. Might improve from that sole third tackling fences 25 months ago. SEA INVASION (4) made some critical errors in jumping when 11L second of three in a novice handicap chase here. Willing to forgive that run now with experience tackling the bigger obstacles. D'JO DELA BARRIERE (5) won comfortably contesting a 3200m Hereford maiden hurdle. Now attempts fences after already securing a fourth in a Tipperary Hunter Chase during May. Interesting. ALIEN STORM (3) could improve stepping up in trip following his previous Doncaster third.
