UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

This can go the way of CLODY FLYER, who ran a highly encouraging race on his Rules debut at Wetherby last month behind a subsequent winner. The six-year-old is taken to go one better, with hurdling debutant Genovese, and Hereford bumper winner Out Of Focus looking best placed to chase him home. Stowaway Jess and The Punt are capable of being in the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Clody Flyer 2nd Genovese 3rd Out Of Focus

A Grade 2 bumper winner at Aintree last April, LOOKAWAY has yet to put it together over hurdles, but this represents a drop in grade after he contested a valuable contest at Kelso in March. The six-year-old should have too much for Damarta and Gold Link, who has been runner-up on his last three starts but has not been in action since May 2021.
Prediction : 1st Lookaway 2nd Gold Link 3rd Damarta

The drop back to three miles can work the oracle for WILLIAM EWART after a creditable second at Stratford on his most recent outing over further. The six-year-old looks as though he could make up into a decent staying chaser and he is narrowly preferred to comfortable Southwell winner Whataboutyeh. Galante De Romay is interesting on the step up in trip, while Carlo Du Berlais needs considering as well.
Prediction : 1st William Ewart 2nd Whataboutyeh 3rd Carlo Du Berlais

DEAR RALPHY travelled smoothly into contention before falling at Plumpton on his handicap debut last month, and the son of Westerner could make amends granted a clear round of jumping. Awesome Foursome merits respect raised just 2lb for a good second at Market Rasen, while top-weight Embolden holds solid form claims and must also be considered. Ideallko, who finished a creditable fourth at Ffos Las 62 days ago, should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Dear Ralphy 2nd Awesome Foursome 3rd Embolden

KINONDO KWETU has risen through the handicap ranks this season, going up a total of 30lb from an opening mark of 107. He's faced a couple of tall tasks recently, but he might be able to resume progress back in slightly calmer waters. Caribean Boy was an impressive winner at Cheltenham last month and must go on the shortlist raised 5lb, while Morning Spirit, who is back down to his last winning mark, is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Kinondo Kwetu 2nd Caribean Boy 3rd Morning Spirit

THE CARPENTER bolted up at Newbury in March and the unexposed son of Shantaram, whose only defeat came at the hands of the now 137-rated Gatsby Grey in a Navan bumper, can continue his progress. Impulsive One failed to make an impact in the Martin Pipe, but he enters calculations down in class. Quoi De Neuf reverts to hurdles having finished a good second over fences at Ludlow last time and he's another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st The Carpenter 2nd Impulsive One 3rd Quoi De Neuf

Duke Of Deception scored by just under four lengths in a class 5 event last time at Huntingdon, but he takes a drop in distance and a rise in class, which could hand a chance to the Dan Skelton-trained DOG OF WAR. The nine-year-old gelding has had a wind operation since last seen when pulled up at Carlisle in February, and has been dropped to his last winning mark. Feivel drops in class and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Dog Of War 2nd Duke Of Deception 3rd Feivel

Boundsy Boy went in over this trip at Huntingdon in February and has had two runs on the Flat since. Returning to this sphere off 2lb higher, he is likely to be thereabouts. The Michael Roberts-trained ANDAPA looks an interesting contender in this field, as she returns from a break and has undergone a wind operation. The daughter of Kapgarde wasn't beaten far over C&D when last seen and that level of form could be enough to see her strike. Ingennio, Haveyougotmymoney and The Wild Westerner are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Andapa 2nd Boundsy Boy 3rd Ingennio
