Recent French recruit Notus De La Tour landed the At The Races Sky 415 Novices’ Hurdle at Plumpton in the style of an above-average performer.
David Pipe got hold of the four-year-old after an easy win in an Auteuil claimer but he looked to have plenty on his plate with a couple of hurdles to jump as 4-11 favourite Ranjobaie and Tony McCoy appeared to be travelling better.
Plumpton winner Notus De La Tour earned a quote of 33/1 with Stan James for the Triumph Hurdle after his facile success at Plumpton on his British debut.
Head of PR Charlie McCann: ” The David Pipe trained juvenile could hardly have made a more impressive British debut and, having landed his previous start at Auteuil by 20l, he is clearly going the right way.”

Carlito Brigante could have his prep for Cheltenham’s JCB Triumph Hurdle at Musselburgh on February 7 as long as the ground is suitable.
Gordon Elliott’s charge is a top-priced 14-1 for the juvenile championship after slamming Alaivan by 11 lengths at Leopardstown on Boxing Day on his first start for the County Meath trainer.
“He’s come out of the race very well and we were delighted with him,” said Elliott.
“He may go for the race at Musselburgh in February if the ground is good. He has to have good ground, then hopefully it will be Cheltenham after that.
“He’s a nice horse, the ground is the key to him and he’s improving all the time. He’s a horse to look forward to.”
