UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Venetia Williams' French import DESQUE DE L'ISLE needs to step up on what he's shown in two starts since arriving in the UK but the switch to handicap company today provides a logical reason why he can be expected to do so. Big runs from Demon D'Aunou, who is sporting a first-time tongue-tie, and grade dropper Red Mix, who ran over fences last time, could also be on the cards.
Prediction : 1st Desque De LIsle 2nd Demon DAunou 3rd Red Mix

VEREINA followed up her 15-length C&D victory with another emphatic 2m7f success at Bangor when last sighted and remains one to keep on the right side of while evidently on good terms with herself. If a recent 12lb rise in the ratings stifles her improvement then See Forever, who debuts for Fergal O'Brien and sports a new headgear combination, could be waiting to pick up the pieces. Tennewrow remains on a fair mark and merits a market check on her return from a 232-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Vereina 2nd See Forever 3rd Tennewrow

BULLIONAIRE was third to the exciting Sporting John at Exeter on his reappearance and Harry Fry's six-year-old, who was an exciting bumper horse, could build on that to open his hurdling account here. Nautical Star caught the eye in a useful-looking contest at Chepstow on debut and is respected, while Nocte Volatus requires a market check on debut for a Tom Lacey team doing well of late.
Prediction : 1st Bullionaire 2nd Nautical Star 3rd Nocte Volatus

WITH DISCRETION was deemed good enough to run in Grade 1 company over hurdles when last seen and the lightly-raced eight-year-old could thrive now tried over fences on her reappearance. Tidal Flow shaped nicely enough when third at Ffos Las and won't mind the underfoot conditions, while a step up in trip could suit Khage, who has followed home some useful operators on his two outings this season.
Prediction : 1st With Discretion 2nd Khage 3rd Tidal Flow

GOOD AND HARDY impressed on reappearance when third at Chepstow last month before following up at the same venue a fortnight later, and seemingly has more to offer over these marathon distances. This ground also suits the six-year-old well and he can defy a 4lb rise for a trainer enjoying a good season so far. Passam was a runaway winner at Southwell 15 days ago and can remain competitive, while Goodnight Charlie stays well and reverts to hurdles, where her mark is 14lb lower.
Prediction : 1st Good And Hardy 2nd Passam 3rd Goodnight Charlie

Harry Fry has claimed this prize with smart types in the shape of Neon Wolf and Get In The Queue in the last two years, and could be introducing another nice one here in the shape of FREDDIE DARLING. An 85,000 pounds purchase last year and related to plenty of winners, the four-year-old represents a handler in form, and has been located a nice opening. Fiddlers Tracker is a half-brother to Irish Cavalier and Shattered Love so shouldn't be underestimated, while Taste The Fear is another to note making his stable/UK debut for Dr Richard Newland.
Prediction : 1st Freddie Darling 2nd Fiddlers Tracker 3rd Taste The Fear
