UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

CASTLE QUARTER was just denied by a neck on his handicap debut at Worcester and the six-year-old is more than capable of going one better on this occasion, despite being raised 4lb for that effort. Tarseem has been a model of consistency this summer, filling the runner-up spot on his last three outings, and he is likely to enter calculations, while Time Leader is of interest back over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Castle Quarter 2nd Tarseem 3rd Time Leader

BETTY'S BANJO took a big step forward from her hurdling debut when getting off the mark here over 2m4f at the end of May. The five-year-old drops back in trip, but the manner of that victory suggested the daughter of Fame And Glory would have no issue in doing so. Leading Theatre won at the second time of asking over timber at Ffos Las and remains open to progression, while Lunar Shadow held every chance when falling at Stratford and she is capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Bettys Banjo 2nd Leading Theatre 3rd Lunar Shadow

FENNA'S LOSS stayed on well to get off the mark in a Hexham bumper last month and the step up in trip on his hurdling debut promises to bring about further improvement from Mark Walford's gelding. Vokolohs was runner-up on his sole point-to-point outing in May 2021 and the six-year-old is respected along with Valamix, who ran with credit when fourth here last month.
Prediction : 1st Fennas Loss 2nd Vokolohs 3rd Valamix

Judge Earle has been in good form at Ffos Las and Worcester of late but needs to prove himself over this trip and is taken on with confirmed stayer STORM LORENZO. He won a novice chase over this distance at Hexham last month and is surely better than what he showed in handicap company there last time. Go All The Way is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Storm Lorenzo 2nd Judge Earle 3rd Go All The Way

YOU NAME HIM is on really good terms with himself at present and is 2-2 since joining Rebecca Menzies. The first of those wins came over this C&D and everything points to another bold showing. Neachells Bridge is the other course winner in the field and comes into this on the back of a ready Ffos Las triumph. Itacare and Mr Yeats are others to note in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st You Name Him 2nd Neachells Bridge 3rd Itacare

KAUTO THE KING represents an in-form yard and has been doing his winning at Newton Abbot recently. The eight-year-old gelding has really improved this summer and it is going to take a big performance to deny him another victory, providing he takes to this track. The dangers are Texard, who represents David Pipe and won here last time over 2m. Seddon boasts a bit of back form which brings him into the equation too.
Prediction : 1st Kauto The King 2nd Texard 3rd Seddon

BRIDGE ROAD went down fighting here last time out and bids to gain some compensation for that head defeat over C&D. Just 1lb higher this time, he looks to be the one to concentrate on, though a big run from Release The Kraken would come as no surprise. If looking past his latest Perth run, Nicky Richards' charge brings good form to the table. You can throw Allsfineandandy into the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Bridge Road 2nd Release The Kraken 3rd Allsfineandandy
