UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Edward Austin gets on well with TINGO IN THE TALE and they combined to claim top honours over C&D last month. Tony Forbes' 10-year-old is just 3lb higher, but he only had two and a quarter lengths to spare over Just Marvin, who will be an even bigger threat on the revised terms. Hen could leave her first two jumping efforts behind her on her handicap debut - something Line Of Beauty did when third at Newton Abbot.
Prediction : 1st Tingo In The Tale 2nd Just Marvin 3rd Hen

Better was expected from Rebel Leader at Newton Abbot but he was an impressive winner between the flags so can't be written off yet. Not quite as impressive, however, as FAMOUS RESPONSE, who created a big impression in that arena back in February and has since joined Dan Skelton. The Alcester handler is also represented by C&D runner-up Iconic Hero, although that form appears nothing special. Defuture Is Bright showed promise in point-to-points, and the newcomer Whatsthecraicjack must also be respected for a top team.
Prediction : 1st Famous Response 2nd Rebel Leader 3rd Whatsthecraicjack

GRANIA O'MALLEY has been given a break since triumphing at Ffos Las in June but the form of that victory has been franked in no uncertain terms by the runner-up, who has gone on to complete a hat-trick and rise 24lb in the handicap. Beautiful Ben has been in fine fettle and arrives on the back of a determined win at Market Rasen. Atlantic Storm probably performed as well as could be expected from out of the handicap at Worcester, and he is a big danger back off his correct mark.
Prediction : 1st Grania OMalley 2nd Atlantic Storm 3rd Beautiful Ben

All of the six declared runners are debuting over fences. ERICK LE ROUGE has been off the track since pulling up in the Coral Cup but he'd rattled off four hurdles victories in a row prior to that and is worth considering closely for Jane Williams. Django Django has been handed a 5lb rise for landing a competitive handicap hurdle at Haydock in the spring and should go well if taking to the larger obstacles, while point winner Rocco could also feasibly take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Erick Le Rouge 2nd Django Django 3rd Rocco

Suzy Smith representative CRACKER JAK signed off last season by landing back-to-back victories at Newbury and Exeter and rates the one to beat in the hope he returns from a 180-day break in similar form. Final Choice picked up some minor money over this trip at Market Rasen in August and could feasibly play a minor role off this 1lb higher perch. Allelu Alleluia, sporting a first-time tongue-tie, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Cracker Jak 2nd Final Choice 3rd Allelu Alleluia
