Alan King’s Menaggio can continue the solid start he has made to his chasing career in the Southern Cranes & Access Ltd Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at Plumpton.

After a decent hurdling phase, the five-year-old made his first start over fences around this course and distance in October and secured an impressive victory to earmark himself as a chasing prospect to keep an eye on.

On the same card, Jennie Candlish’s Matchless appeals in the weatherbysshop.co.uk Selling Hurdle.

The gelding started to hit his stride in two hurdles runs in September and looks well placed to get the better of this field under Darragh O’Keeffe.

Highway One O Five can score for Chris Gordon in the Royal Yeomanry Association Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle during the same fixture.

The five-year-old has generally fared well at the track so far and was third over course and distance last time out, when not beaten far despite a mistake that likely cost him a better placing.

Returning at a marginally lower grade, he will this time face only three rivals and has a capable rider in the saddle in Gina Andrews as he bids to get his head in front for the first time in his career.

At Southwell, the Safer Gambling Tools At BetMGM EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes can go the way of Charlie Hills’ Flightofthephoenix on her second career start.

The juvenile, who is by the trainer’s Irish 2,000 Guineas-winning Phoenix Of Spain, made her racecourse debut at Kempton last month and was beaten only a head when second in a green run.

Now lining up for a second time over seven furlongs, she has experience on her side compared to many rivals and can get her head in front.

At Exeter, it is Jakana who can come out on top in the Dragonbet Supporting UK Racecourses Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.

The penny seemed to have dropped for Fergal O’Brien’s chestnut last time out when she was third in a Southwell bumper, though there were still signs of greenness so further improvement should come about with experience.

Under Connor Brace, she makes her hurdles debut and with more to think about, she can knuckle down to the task.

Vaguely Royal can then follow up on his recent success at Wincanton in the Dragonbet Oncourse Service Online Novices’ Hurdle.

Anthony Charlton’s four-year-old is in the early stages of a new career, having been previously campaigned on the Flat by John and Thady Gosden, running up to a mark of 95 for previous connections.

His hurdling debut was a fourth-placed effort at Wincanton, followed by a three-length triumph at the same venue, meaning he is moving in the right direction as a novice hurdle prospect.
