Race Tip
JURANCON (2) is declared to run at Plumpton on Tuesday but could take some beating if turning up here instead. He got the better of a smart horse in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow two starts ago and can regain the winning thread in the first-time tongue-tie. The French-trained KLOTH OF UTOPIA (1) was disappointing when third on UK debut at Ascot in November. Respect down in trip for powerful connections. BIG GINGE (5) may be thereabouts on the back of two solid runner-up efforts over hurdles at Sandown and Hereford. The market can guide as to what is expected from ATOMIC LEVEL (3) on stable debut.
