Plumpton Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Plumpton
Plumpton is a tight, undulating, left-handed jumps course of about a mile and a furlong, one of the sharpest in Britain. There is a sharp downhill run and the track turns constantly, with a short home straight.
Betting at Plumpton
The tight turns favour handy, nimble horses that race prominently, and big, long-striding horses often struggle. Course form is significant, as horses tend to handle Plumpton or not. Ground can be very heavy in midwinter.
