UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Liverpool Knight wasn't best positioned when staying on into fourth off a slow pace in handicap company at Perth recently and must enter calculations on the switch to a novice event, having won a similar C&D event last month. However, Olly Murphy's charge may find conceding 12lb to hurdling debutant AADDEEY beyond him. The New Approach gelding still retains plenty of ability judged on this summer's exploits on the Flat and should take some stopping if taking to this discipline. Footloose Man could chase that duo home.
Prediction : 1st Aaddeey 2nd Liverpool Knight 3rd Footloose Man

DO NO WRONG could have more to offer after staying on to win on the rise in trip to 3m here last month and triumphed with enough in hand that day to suggest that a 4lb rise is manageable. Duke Of Luckley found only a lightly-raced sort too strong at Southwell in late July and is feared most if coping with the stiffer test. A Place Apart and Lough Salt can't be discounted in their current form either.
Prediction : 1st Do No Wrong 2nd Duke Of Luckley 3rd A Place Apart

FRINGILL DIKE proved a different proposition in first-time blinkers when scoring on his chase debut at Hexham in May and may maintain his unbeaten record over fences if in a similar mood. The Jedd O'Keeffe-trained gelding does have a 9lb rise to contend with, though, which gives some hope to Getaway Luv and Elios D'Or. The in-form pair are likely be on the scene once more, although the returning Fearless shouldn't be far away if at the same level as his second-placed effort at Perth last July and could emerge as the chief threat.
Prediction : 1st Fringill Dike 2nd Fearless 3rd Getaway Luv

This can go the way of SACCHOANDVANZETTI, who made a highly encouraging start to life in Britain when runner-up over shorter at Southwell in July. He may be winless since November 2019 but this appeals as an ideal opportunity, with the consistent City Derby and Bangor-on-Dee second Presenting Pete looking best placed to chase him home. A winner over C&D in July, One Touch has the form to get involved also.
Prediction : 1st Sacchoandvanzetti 2nd City Derby 3rd Presenting Pete

AMBASSADOR picked up where he left off when scoring comfortably over C&D for new connections in July and, despite a 2lb rise, the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the six-year-old. Narrowly denied on his last two starts, Enthused deserves a change in luck and this track could suit, while Rock On Harry is another who arrives in top form following an easy victory in a maiden at Market Rasen earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Ambassador 2nd Rock On Harry 3rd Enthused

Let It Shine ran well when third at Worcester last month, beaten three lengths at the line after being caught flat-footed two out and then running on strongly, and he is one of many who look likely to appreciate the longer trip here. LIGHTENING GESTURE has a similar profile and ran perhaps his best race yet at Bangor when a two-length fourth on his first start since February, staying on well and suggesting this distance will see him in a better light. Skeeter Park and Roxboro Road as others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lightening Gesture 2nd Let It Shine 3rd Skeeter Park

BLUEBELLA was going well enough to suggest she may have had a say in the when finish falling at the last at Worcester last month and, as that followed a win and two second places, she could go close today off the same mark. Ranco was value for further than the margin of victory after his jockey mistook the winning post when he scored at Worcester and he can go well again, along with Happy Index, who should be staying on well once again.
Prediction : 1st Bluebella 2nd Ranco 3rd Happy Index
