Plumpton Race 6

More Radio Handicap Hurdle

Stake: $14,714

LEAVE HER TO ME (3) provided best form last week scoring by a neck among similar hurdle company over 3900m at Hereford. Leading chance. JOREBEL (4) showed improvement on Saturday when a good 5.5L third in a 3200m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. Makes for plenty of appeal. MACARI (1) knows this course well following a decent fourth in a 4100m handicap hurdle here during December. Holds claims. RIP WHEELER (2) looks interesting.
