17:10 Plumpton Tips — Sunday 5th April 2026

Our best bet of the day comes in the 17:10 at Plumpton, where we're sweet on RUKAANA (EVS) to land the spoils. This Jonjo O'Neill trained gelding, steered by his son Jonjo Jr., arrives here in absolutely cracking form, showcasing an enviable level of consistency that few in this line-up can match. Indeed, a look at the key trends immediately flags Rukaana as a serious contender, having placed in three of his last five outings, proving he’s a horse you can bank on to be in the thick of the action when it matters most.

Crucially, Rukaana boasts the highest Official Rating in the field at 100, a significant advantage that sets him apart from his rivals and underscores his class. This isn't just a number; it's a testament to his ability and suggests he's simply a cut above the rest on paper. Given his recent form figures of 1-2-3, he's clearly thriving and overdue another visit to the winner's enclosure. We expect a strong, professional performance from a horse who looks head and shoulders above this opposition. For those looking for an each-way alternative, Eliza Dolittle offers some solid value and could run into a place.
