UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Benign Dictator and Bold Soldier have both posted several creditable efforts in defeat and they are likely to give their running once more. However, a chance is taken on the lightly-raced SOLAR SOVEREIGN, who made a promising start to his career under Rules with a good second at Wetherby. The Tony Bulgin-trained inmate is entitled to improve for that first effort and this extra distance is likely to suit.
Prediction : 1st Solar Sovereign 2nd Benign Dictator 3rd Bold Soldier

Razzo Italiano caused a bit of a surprise when winning at Southwell last month and the five-year-old shouldn't be underestimated now 5lb higher in the ratings. Telhimlisten looks an intriguing handicap debutant and is worth closer inspection in the betting, with his stablemate Lough Carra another to consider, but BAY OF INTRIGUE gets the vote. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding finished a solid third over C&D 49 days ago and Liam Harrison's 3lb claim could make all the difference.
Prediction : 1st Bay Of Intrigue 2nd Razzo Italiano 3rd Telhimlisten

SECRET TRIX travelled much kinder on his first start over this distance when winning at Fakenham last month and a second success could be on the cards off just 3lb higher. Shot Boii can't be ruled out as he chases a hat-trick of wins, with last-time-out winners Coillte Eile and Oliver's Island others to consider. The chief threat, however, may emerge from Harry's Hottie, who looks capable of picking up another race at this level.
Prediction : 1st Secret Trix 2nd Harrys Hottie 3rd Shot Boii

A fairly open contest in which preference is for the Kerry Lee-trained KINGS KEEPER. Narrowly denied here latest by the progressive Punctuation, who has since bolted up in a hotter handicap at Cheltenham, he certainly looks an appealing type and, with Angus Cheldea knocking 5lb off courtesy of his claim, he has to be of real interest. Can You Call secured a good second on his most recent run at Taunton and is feared most ahead of the unexposed Mister Who.
Prediction : 1st Kings Keeper 2nd Can You Call 3rd Mister Who

An open contest with several intriguing contenders, including the grade-dropping Politacus, who was not disgraced in Listed company at Cheltenham last time out. ROGUE QUEEN kept on well for second on her racecourse bow at Warwick last month and shades the vote. Silent Approach is a half-sister to the classy Journey With Me and should not be underestimated, while Call The Dance is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Queen 2nd Silent Approach 3rd Call The Dance

This can go the way of LYDFORD LAD, who shaped with abundant promise when second on his chase debut at Ffos Las last month. That was his first run for Harry Fry and, with improvement expected here, he can see off the likes of Southwell runner-up Walk In Clover and the consistent Immortal Fame, who has only once been outside the first two home in his last five starts. Rock Of Star is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lydford Lad 2nd Immortal Fame 3rd Rock Of Star

BRING THE ACTION was just outgunned by a progressive sort at Doncaster last time out, but that was his first run after wind surgery and a 251-day break so he is more than entitled to come on for it. If so, he looks the one to be with ahead of proven stayer Bobmahley, who has plenty of experience in this sphere. The Questioner, who makes his debut over fences, is another to bear in mind. Runner-up here over shorter on his latest outing, Art Decco could be well suited by going up to 3m.
Prediction : 1st Bring The Action 2nd Art Decco 3rd The Questioner
