Today's Horse Racing Tips: Aucunrisque to score at Plumpton
There's a seven race National Hunt card at Plumpton on Monday morning, and you can check out our three best bets here for what is an intriguing card at the southern track...
Alan King's Sonning recorded his first victory over hurdles last time out at Catterick, and the juvenile is a leading player in the opening race at Plumpton at 12:30. However, we are taking on the Barbury Castle inmate with a potential improver in the shape of Chris Gordon's AUCUNRISQUE, who will make his debut over timber this afternoon, and having shown decent signs on the level he can continue his progression over obstacles today. Last seen finishing third in a National Hunt Flat race at Cheltenham, Gordon's five-year-old put up a decent effort in that Listed contest, and if he can take to the jumping game then he marks value in an interesting contest.

Gary Moore's NASSALAM has made a perfect start to his novice chasing career - winning his first two races over the larger obstacles - and the improving four-year-old can duly make it three wins from three on Monday afternoon by beating his two rivals in the 13:00 contest. A fortuitous winner of a Grade 2 contest at Newbury last time out, Nassalam was no match for Pic D'Orhy, who fell late on, but he showed that he has some talent over his fences and he should have the measure of For Pleasure, who was well beaten at Warwick last time out, while Kid Commando was 11 lengths behind Nassalam when they clashed at Ascot earlier in the season.

It could be a profitable afternoon for the Moore team, and they can strike later in the card at 14:00 with ERAGON DE CHANAY, who was disappointing last time out at Taunton, but is a horse that is dangerously handicapped if he can pull it all together this afternoon. A winner over hurdles off a mark of 133, he will line up over fences this afternoon off a mark of 115, so if he can find his rhythm over fences then he can go very close. Dropped 2lbs for that recent Taunton run, which was disappointing, he had previously finished second at Fontwell off a mark of 118, so if everything goes to plan today then he can at least hit the frame.
