Let's have a peek at the top three nags for the 14:20 Southern Cranes Handicap Chase at Plumpton, shall we? Starting with the favourite, Superstylin. At a sprightly age of 9, this gelding is the top tip, boasting a short price of 2.1 in today's race. Superstylin, trained by C Gordon and ridden by Freddie Gordon, has had a decent run over the past 180 days with two wins out of six races under his belt. The horse has shown some fondness for the Plumpton track, having raced here twice over the past 720 days, although wins have eluded him here. Still, with a strike rate of 0.33 in the last 180 days, he's not out of his depth. Connections between C Gordon and Freddie Gordon have yielded fruitful results, with a commendable strike rate over the recent months. In short, Superstylin seems revved up to live up to his name today! Moving on to Sea Thrift, not quite the showstopper like our leading contender, but not to be sniffed at with a live price of 5. Trained by Daisy Hitchins and piloted by Robbie David, this 7-year-old mare has a modest record recently, scooting home a winner in one out of her last five races. The recent track form doesn't sing praises, but there's some potential in the Hitchins-David combo based on their 60-day stats. Sea Thrift might need a bit of luck to bloom fully today, but could be a cheeky pick for an each-way bet if you fancy spicing up the bet slip. Applicationofcash brings some intrigue to the race with his odds sitting at 5.5. This 8-year-old gelding trained by D Brace might not have cashed in on a win recently, with no victories in the last 180 days out of a sole race run during this period. His win stats overall might make punters slightly jittery, yet there's a whisper of change with the jockey Liam Harrison in the saddle, who's been striking modestly lately. Though lacking in prominent wins, one can't simply dismiss Applicationofcash if he decides today's the day to splash the cash. Today's odds and ends point to Superstylin as the prime candidate for the winning post. With a robust combo of horse, jockey, and trainer form, he looks ready to outpace the field at Plumpton. If you're having a flutter, remember, he's revving up to live up to his swanky name! Good luck, and remember, always bet responsibly!
