Just Beware ready to strike at Plumpton through the Marlea Avian Control Handicap Hurdle after scoring second twice

victory by the seven lengths that were under charge the winner. Taking up the third slot was Swiss Guard.
The second start of the season had her scoring second in the At The Races Virgin 534 Handicap Hurdle on 30th January at Plumpton over two miles. Riding away with the title was Leighton Aspell onboard Songsmith. The winner led Just Beware by eight
lengths who was ridden by Gemma Gracey-Davison.

winner, Flite.
Concluding the race third behind the winner was Belle De Fontenay.
Sixth outing of the season with the third attempt at Plumpton should prompt Just Beware to claim a race that she has not been able to ever since the season took off.
Another note worthy entry for the race is Overdante, Overbury’s ten-year-old bay mare out of mare, Mrs Wumpkins. She secured the second position in the Bet Totepool On All UK Racing Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton over two miles and two furlongs on
9th April.
The race was won by Red Rock who led the field only by half a length while the 11/4 favourite of the race, Beau Fighter, ended sixth on the track of eight.
All the candidates for the race are fairly experienced at Plumpton even though not all have been able to celebrate victory there. The victory for Just Beware will not come easy.
