Today’s free horse racing tips: Plumpton, Stratford, Taunton and Kempton – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for Monday, March 11

PLUMPTON MONDAY

2.20

1

MYPLACEATMIDNIGHT is taking a fair drop in class on the back of a good second in a solid handicap at Wincanton last time. He earlier won and placed in similar contests and he is right at home over this distance. Provided his last outing four days ago wasn’t too soon he should be right there.

Espion De Saflo has come from France to join Gary Moore who should have him ready to improve on this UK debut.

2.50

MICQUUS has gone up just 1lb for a battling win here last time out. That was over 2m1f but this slightly longer distance holds no fears and he should be right in the shake-up again.

Templier showed some positive signs when fourth at Huntingdon last time on the back of a fair effort on the all-weather. He’s only six and can build on that encouraging chasing debut.

POTTERS HEDGER may find this a little easier than the big-field handicap he contested at Ascot last time. It was a good effort to finish fourth and the assessor has helped by knocking 1lb off his mark. The Lucy Wadham horses are going well so he should run another decent race.

Little Boy Boru enjoyed himself around here when winning nicely last time over this trip. He’s going up in class today but can’t be written off while in such good heart.

3.50

RUBY YEATS should really have won here last time but was just collared near the line. She drops into a mares’ race here and should have enough quality to go one better.

Similar comments apply to Secret Door who was a good third in fair company at Sandown last time out. She likes this soft ground and comes from an in-form yard.

4.20

HERESMYNUMBER didn’t get the run of the race when fourth at Fakenham last time out, going well when blocked in the closing stages. He sees out this trip well and is back over fences here off 1lb lower than his last win as a chaser.

Cadeau Du Bresil wasn’t at his best last time after a good earlier run at Warwick. He’s coming down the weights and has no stamina issues over this distance.

4.55

KING MURO has had a wind operation since finishing second over course and distance last time out. His mark has been left alone and the soft ground won’t be an issue.

Camaplu did well to finish fourth, beaten three lengths here last time, coming back from 19 months off the track. Provided this doesn’t come too soon after that, she should be right on the premises.
