Nap Hand pick of the pack at Plumpton

Nap Hand is a confident selection in the Ladbrokes Supporting Jamie's Farm Maiden Hurdle at Plumpton on Monday.

Rated in the mid-80s following three wins on the Flat, Alan King's charge has had to make do with minor honours on his first couple of starts over hurdles, but did not do a lot wrong when pushing promising mare La Pinsonniere close at Huntingdon last time.

Nap Hand pulled 14 lengths clear of the remainder that day and looks a winner in waiting.

Sole Solution looks well placed to complete his hat-trick in the BetGoodwin Sussex Stayers Handicap Hurdle.

The seven-year-old has won four of his six starts for Venetia Williams, with two bumper victories supplemented by back-to-back wins over hurdles since the turn of the year.

His debut over obstacles at Bangor in November was disappointing in truth, but he was just unfortunate to bump into a high-class novice in Sixmilebridge at Leicester the following month and has made no mistake the last twice.

Sole Solution had to get down and dirty to beat Kalif d'Airy in testing conditions at Sandown three weeks ago and while a 5lb hike makes life tougher, there is every chance a step up to 4800m and further will yield further improvement.

At Ayr, Doyen Du Bar can come out on top as a small field has gathered for the Virgin Bet Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.

Pauline Robson's nine-year-old is a consistent sort who has emerged in good form this term, winning over course and distance on debut then scoring at Aintree in a novices' handicap on Boxing Day.

He was second next time out when stepping down marginally in trip at Sandown, and though carrying plenty of weight on return to Ayr he still looks the pick of the race.

Wolverhampton punters are advised to put their faith in Miami Matrix, who looks to confirm debut promise with victory in the Win £1M With BetMGM's Golden Goals Maiden Stakes.

Hugo Palmer's Invincible Spirit colt caught the eye when making late headway to finish third on his introduction at Newcastle in late January and the booking of champion jockey Oisin Murphy for his second start suggests he is expected to get off the mark at the second attempt.

On the same Wolverhampton card Joseph Parr's Sun Festival can go one better than recent efforts in division two of the Weekly £5 Free Bet With BetUK Classified Stakes.

The seven-year-old is a regular at the track, which has been the scene of his past four runs over the same 1900m trip.

The last twice he has been the runner-up, with the margin narrowing from one run to the next and the gelding looked poised to get his head in front. - Press Association
