Monday Double...

Plumpton 14:20 - Apache Dawn
2m, Class 5 Maiden Hurdle - Good to Firm

Gary Moore has an exceptional record with these types and with Philip Hide booked Apache Dawn looks an outstanding bet in today's opener. 3rd last time out on the flat at Kempton Gary Moore's charge will be as fit as a butchers dog and a repeat of debut run over hurdles will see him take all the beating this afternoon. (Early Price 5/1)
3RD

Plumpton 16:20 - Knightsbridgelives
2m 5f, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good t0 Firm

Thrown in the deep end in a Cheltenham bumper last time Knightsbridgelives makes his hurdling debut this afternoon for the "red hot" Alan King yard. Well thought of at home and certainly not rushed to make his bow over timber nothing will have been left to chance with regards to his jumping. Robert Thornton is riding out of his skin at the moment (21% strike rate in the last 14 days) and he can do the steering and get the better of novice chase winner Soulard. (Early Price 5/2)
