14:52 Plumpton Tips — Sunday 19th April 2026

Our confident pick for the 14:52 Plumpton Hurdle is undoubtedly Loriko. Dan Skelton's charge steps into this contest looking like an absolute banker, and it's difficult to see anything getting close to him. While the 1/10 odds reflect his overwhelming chance, it’s a price that is fully justified given the calibre of the opposition he faces today. Loriko has been running with immense credit in far stronger company.

He boasts an incredibly consistent profile, perfectly aligning with our key trend which highlights a horse placed in four of its last five runs. This level of reliability, combined with the fact he’s dropping in class, suggests he's simply too good for this field. Jockey Tristan Durrell will be looking to guide him to a well-deserved victory, and with the Skelton yard in such fine form, everything points towards a dominant performance.

Expect Loriko to put in a professional display and finally get his head in front after several near misses. For those seeking an each-way alternative, Ballyeaston could be one to watch if the favourite falters, but our focus remains firmly on Loriko delivering the goods with minimal fuss. He is our standout selection and should provide a comfortable success.
