Lucky 15 Tips: Little Soiree to strike at Plumpton

There are three UK meetings taking place on Monday, with jumps action at Plumpton and Catterick in the afternoon preceding the evening all-weather offering from Wolverhampton.

There are 22 races in all, highlighted by the Sussex National Handicap Chase at 15:45 and below are my Lucky 15 tips for Monday's action.

14:45 Plumpton - Walks Like The Man @ 3/1

The Howden Insurance Brokers Novices' Handicap Chase at Plumpton could see a personal best from WALKS LIKE THE MAN for the Gary & Josh Moore yard.

The Irish point winner is already with his fifth yard in Britain and shaped with some promise in December at Warwick (3m, good to soft) when finishing fourth, a mistake four fences from home hindering his prospects.

This will be just his third start over fences and the assessor has been quick to drop him 6lb in the ratings, which could be lenient.

He drops back in trip and the booking of champion jockey Harry Cobden is eye-catching. He's 1-3 for this yard in the past 12 months.

15:00 Catterick - It's All About You @ 3/1

Some in-form contenders in this Class 4 Catterick handicap hurdle over just shy of two miles. Nowmelad, Bathgate and Haarar arrive in good tune, but IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU can pip them.

The Highland Reel gelding was a solid proposition on the Flat, signing off in that sphere with wins at Ayr and Ffos Las in the summer over 1m5f/2m on good/heavy ground.

He has picked up where he left since going over timber, scoring at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in December and following up here on New Year's Day over 2m3½f on soft ground.

He wasn't fully extended in that novice success and, with his Flat form, shouldn't be put off dropping back in trip for this handicap bow. Jennie Candlish's five-year-old looks like the one to beat.

16:45 Plumpton - Little Soiree @ 11/4

Chris Gordon's mare LITTLE SOIREE ran well in a decent race at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in December when finishing third behind the market leaders.

She was held up by Rex Dingle and made good progress going to the second last, taking third spot but unable to trouble the front pair.

That was her first run in a handicap and it came from an opening mark of 105. The assessor has instantly dropped her 5lb and she finds a race of lesser quality now.

This Irish import could be primed to strike for a yard in decent form.

20:30 Wolverhampton - King Of Speed @ 13/8

The Wolverhampton nightcap can go the way of Billy Loughnane on KING OF SPEED for his father, Mark Loughnane.

The Acclamation gelding won over course and distance in November and has remained in solid form since.

A return to slightly more prominent tactics at Kempton last week saw him denied by less than a length in second spot and, eased 1lb, with this rider back in the plate, he can notch his second Dunstall Park success.

This is an example of a Lucky 15. If you can improve upon my selections (of course you can), then go for it!

The odds can fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.50p win Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £145 for your total £7.50 stake.
