UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

With only two runners going to post, this is a match between Martello Sky and UNIVERSAL FOLLY, and the latter just preferred. The selection has chase experience under his belt and should appreciate this longer distance. The aforementioned Martello Sky makes her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland and could be sparked to life by a change of scenery/obstacles, but the mare may find this 3m trip stretches her stamina.
Prediction : 1st Universal Folly 2nd Martello Sky 3rd null

Ooh Betty had reopposing Manimole (second) behind her when shedding her maiden tag at Ludlow last time and another bold bid is expected, despite shouldering a 6lb penalty here. However, a chance is taken on BLUE CLOVER, who finished runner-up on her hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Stratford in April and Fergal O'Brien's mare may find the necessary improvement now up in trip. The lightly-raced Our Friend Mo also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Blue Clover 2nd Ooh Betty 3rd Our Friend Mo

JUDGE EARLE lost his form towards the end of his last campaign in October, but he boasts a fine record at this course and, with his stable among the winners of late, he is fancied to regain the winning thread on his return. Brianna Rose was in good heart over hurdles in March and is an obvious threat if taking to fences for the first time, while it's too soon to write off Ballaquane.
Prediction : 1st Judge Earle 2nd Brianna Rose 3rd Ballaquane

GLOIRE D'ATHON did it very nicely at Sandown last time, making it four wins from his last five starts, and he continues to look firmly on the upgrade for the Sarah Humphrey yard. The son of Doctor Dino is now only 3lb higher and given the manner of that latest success, he is taken to go in once more. The main danger might be Raffle Ticket, who struck by just over a length at Worcester last time and could get involved off a 5lb higher rating. Walk In Clover is in fine fettle and has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Gloire DAthon 2nd Raffle Ticket 3rd Walk In Clover

Park Hill Dancer got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon last time and he now tries his luck in a handicap for the first time. However, he could come out second best to KEROSINE LIGHT, who kept on strongly to score by just under a length last time in a class 3 event over 2m1f at Cartmel and he can defy a 2lb rise with the step back up in distance in his favour. Fat Sam makes the most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kerosine Light 2nd Park Hill Dancer 3rd Fat Sam

ELFRIDE powered clear of his rivals to record a comfortable success over C&D 22 days ago and, raised just 5lb in the handicap, Richard Phillips' mare might be the answer once again. He Is A Cracker almost defied a 448-day absence when narrowly denied at Warwick earlier this month and he must hold every chance if able to back that effort up, while it would be no surprise were Tzunami to make waves now pitched into handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Elfride 2nd He Is A Cracker 3rd Tzunami

SARSONS RISK has faced a couple of stiff assignments on his last two starts, the latest of which came in a Grade 1 at Aintree, but he could regain the winning thread in this less-taxing affair. Eagle's Realm enters calculations following a recent spin on the Flat, along with Galata Bridge, who should take a step forward from his recent Ludlow reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Sarsons Risk 2nd Eagles Realm 3rd Galata Bridge
