Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Monday; Professor Plum in the Plumpton 16:45. Compare odds and bet.
Only fifth on last month’s return from 16 months on the sidelines PROFESSOR PLUM (16:45) shaped better than his finishing position might suggest and is again of interest this afternoon.
Rose Dobbin’s seven-year-old was a smart bumper performer a couple of seasons back, beating Double W’s on one occasion. He took a marked step up in trip last time and moved nicely for a long way.
Given the lay-off, he could be excused for getting tired and, if he does indeed strip fitter for that run, he certainly has the ability to go well having been dropped 2lbs. Due to the new rules this season, he can run in this 0-105 (rated 107) and Lorcan Murtagh takes 7lbs off.
The form of the Dobbin stable is a minor concern, as she has only saddled one winner in 2017, although Some Reign ran well last week.
