UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

AJP KINGDOM has won his last two starts unchallenged and is very hard to oppose in what appears to be a straightforward task in his bid to register a three-timer. He stays, has proven fitness and has the highest official rating. Nearly Perfect and Nitwit have something to prove after both failing to complete in their latest outings, so it might be down to Rostello to provide the selection with the most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Ajp Kingdom 2nd Rostello 3rd Nearly Perfect

YCCS PORTOCERVO was a comfortable winner over C&D and is hard to oppose, despite the imposition of a 6lb higher mark. The eight-year-old has been quite consistent over fences and given this doesn't look any tougher, he has a live chance of notching back-to-back victories for the first time in his career. Pens Man ought to be sharper after his spin around Market Rasen last month, while Dr Sanderson is well handicapped and also dangerous to ignore.
Prediction : 1st Yccs Portocervo 2nd Pens Man 3rd Dr Sanderson

NOONIE has shown some ability since switching codes and considering she is open to any amount of progression now she knows more about what is required from her, she looks worth siding with as she steps into handicap company off a competitive mark. As is the case with the selection, Rose Of Siena has scope and warrants consideration, while Toughasoldboots has a touch more experience to call upon and is feared given she is only 2lb above her last winning figure.
Prediction : 1st Noonie 2nd Rose Of Siena 3rd Toughasoldboots

Presenting Belle hasn't been seen to best effect over hurdles recently, but she might take a step forward on her fencing bow. Stamina Chope is now 6lb below her sole winning mark and can't be dismissed following a creditable fourth at Huntingdon, but it could pay to side with ANNIE NAIL. Alexandra Dunn's mare bolted up in a small field, from 5lb lower, at Fontwell last June, so a similar scenario could help her regain the winning thread.
Prediction : 1st Annie Nail 2nd Presenting Belle 3rd Stamina Chope

THE PLIMSOLL LINE bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Newton Abbot last month. Jeremy Scott's charge is able to compete from an unchanged mark here and is fancied to go one better. Surtitle left it late to get up at Huntingdon and must enter calculations from a 5lb higher mark, while Copper Beach appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st The Plimsoll Line 2nd Surtitle 3rd Copper Beach

HOLLOW RON was outpaced over 2m5f at Ludlow before keeping on to finish fourth. The step up in trip is likely to benefit him in a contest that lacks any kind of depth on paper. Drop Him In switches back to the smaller obstacles and is 10lb lower than his latest effort in this sphere when third at Lingfield in November. Others to note are Merveillo, who sports cheekpieces, and Millie Of Mayo.
Prediction : 1st Hollow Ron 2nd Drop Him In 3rd Merveillo

UGGY UGGY UGGY has shown ability on both starts to date over hurdles and the five-year-old improved from his jumping debut when fourth at Huntingdon, despite racing keenly. He wears a hood for the first time, which is likely to aid his cause, and gets the vote at the main expense of Lightening Company, who is a useful performer on the Flat and won a decent handicap at Pontefract two starts ago. Shalott rounds out the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Uggy Uggy Uggy 2nd Lightening Company 3rd Shalott
