Cover up pays dividend for Plumpton

Arctic conditions continue to savage the fixture list but Plumpton’s use of frost covers ensured their meeting went ahead and allowed Kruguyrova to take the Betfair SP As It Should Be Novices’ Chase.

The filly – who is a Grade Three winner in her native France – caught the eye over timber at Kempton last time and put her big frame to good use as she made all under Paddy Brennan for a two-length success.
