3/1
Maiden who posted his best effort to date when third over 20.5f here in February. No impact both starts this season, but handicapper has quickly relented and he's not discounted.

Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m), but will need to leave efforts in novice hurdles well behind if he's to play a leading role on handicap debut in this sphere.

Both wins gained here, the latest over 20.5f on seasonal reappearance in September. She's rather in-and-out, though, and wasn't on a going day back here last month.

Failed to build on encouraging hurdles debut during 2018/19 campaign and missed whole of last season. However, she's in good hands and is one to note in the betting on handicap debut in this sphere.

3/1
Point winner who hit the crossbar over this C&D on final 2 starts of last season. Stratford reappearance effort was fair and, though below par over fences last time, he's one to consider.

Bounced back to land a very weak C&D handicap in February. However, poor effort at Sedgefield the following month and probably best watched on this seasonal reappearance.

Modest maiden on the Flat and doesn't look much better in this sphere, failing to improve for the switch to a handicap on C&D reappearance in October.

Twice placed over this C&D last season following success at Hereford. Well held both starts this time round, though (over fences latest), and needs to bounce back.

Showed nothing in 3 starts last term and similar story in a couple of runs this season, including on recent handicap bow at Southwell. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Penny Poet.

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser on balance, but definite each-way chance if reproducing form of effort over C&D in March when third of 9 off a 3 lb higher mark.

14:23 Plumpton - 14 December 2020 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

This looks wide-open and it may be worth chancing DARKEST DAY, who hasn't cut much ice in a couple of runs this season but it's still early days and he's now 10 lb lower than when finishing third over C&D in February. Legal Ok has found just one too good on both previous visits here and he merits respect, but Penny Poet makes her handicap bow in this sphere off a feasible mark and is feared most.
