Reasoning:
Sticktotheplan makes his first start for Olly Murphy after showing a real
resurgence in form for his previous connections, signing off with a decisive victory in the Listed Colm Quinn BMW Novice Hurdle at Galway over 2m1f. That success highlighted his class and professionalism, he settled better than usual, travelled strongly behind a solid pace, and found plenty late to assert by over two lengths. This looks a competitive mark if able to reproduce that level on stable debut.
A versatile performer who stays
from 2m to 2m4f and handles good to yielding ground, he’s a strong traveller with a sharp turn of foot when delivered late. The application of a first-time hood looks a smart move to help him relax early, while Sean Bowen is also in the saddle for the first time which is a sign of intent, he’s one of the best in the weighing room at timing his challenges and is an ideal partner for a horse of this style.
This represents a new chapter
for Sticktotheplan, but Olly Murphy excels with recruits of his profile, often coaxing further improvement from experienced types. If the hood and new surroundings bring out even a touch more, he should make a bold bid to continue his fine form and could easily play a leading role on debut for the yard.
