UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

A wide-open contest in which marginal preference is for MAGICAL MAGGIE, who was last seen recording a comfortable victory in a bumper at Bangor in May. She looked outpaced in a competitive Grade 2 at Aintree the time before and has claims on her return to action, but Hidden Beauty could be freshened up following a break and is not easily passed over. Valentine Getaway has already had a spin over hurdles recently and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Magical Maggie 2nd Hidden Beauty 3rd Valentine Getaway

INFLAGRANTE made a pleasing return to action earlier this month when running on for second at this track over 2m and a step up in trip could be what he needs to go one better in this contest. Tango Arumba makes her hurdling debut following a three-length victory in a bumper at Newton Abbot in June and is feared most, ahead of Park This One.
Prediction : 1st Inflagrante 2nd Tango Arumba 3rd Park This One

Bridge Road has been kept busy hurdling throughout the year and arrives following a creditable second at Carlisle earlier this month. He sports a first-time tongue-tie for his chasing bow but is burdened with top-weight, so preference is for KINGSTON KING, who drops fractionally down in trip having just been denied victory at Southwell last month. A marginally shorter test should work in his favour given he was headed late on last time, while Agent Saonois also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Kingston King 2nd Bridge Road 3rd Agent Saonois

This appears to be a fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve with plenty of connections arriving here thinking their charges are in with a good chance of collecting the prize, but slight preference is for MACTAVISH. The penny seemed to drop for David Thompson's runner last time over C&D, where he was beaten just one and a quarter lengths. Off the same mark today, he commands respect. She's A Rocca is capable of better than what she showed last month over 2m4f at Perth, while Luna Dora also holds solid claims.
Prediction : 1st Mactavish 2nd Shes A Rocca 3rd Luna Dora

Deeper Blue arrives here seeking a hat-trick after successive hurdle wins at Fontwell and Exeter but having been raised 8lb in the ratings for his latest success, he may be vulnerable to some better treated rivals. Therefore, the vote goes to BRIEF TIMES, who was behind a progressive chaser when last seen over 2m at Warwick and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. Zacony Rebel also commands respect and is likely to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Brief Times 2nd Deeper Blue 3rd Zacony Rebel

MARTA DES MOTTES shaped well on her seasonal reappearance when fourth here a fortnight ago. She is entitled to improve for that comeback run and this longer trip also looks a positive move. Michael Scudamore has his string in fine order at present and his Let Me Entertain U looks the biggest danger. He has had a wind operation since his latest outing and although he has yet to win over hurdles, this looks his best opportunity so far. Muy Bien is open to further progress and could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Marta Des Mottes 2nd Let Me Entertain U 3rd Muy Bien

Olly Murphy won division two of this race with Duke Of Rockingham last year and he runs FINGLE BRIDGE this time around as he bids to repeat that feat. The son of Flemensfirth was a 70,000-euro purchase last year and any market confidence behind him on debut could be significant. Major Fortune was second at Taunton in March on his racecourse debut and looks sure to improve for that experience, while Sageburg County won his point-to-point at Kirkistown in game fashion and has changed hands for 42,000 pounds since.
Prediction : 1st Fingle Bridge 2nd Major Fortune 3rd Sageburg County
