UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

TEN LENGTHS TOM looks set to relish this step up in trip judging by his effort over just short of 2m at Ascot a few weeks ago and Tom Lacey's bumper winner merits the utmost respect as a result. Chatshow Tv and Micro Millions both made the frame on their respective Rules debuts and are likely to go well once again, while Tough Approach also makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ten Lengths Tom 2nd Chatshow Tv 3rd Micro Millions

LITTLE MISS DANTE had plenty in hand when winning impressively on her hurdling debut at Ayr earlier in the month and the daughter of Kayf Tara sets the standard, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Party Vibes only found one too good on her Rules bow at Chepstow recently and is an obvious threat to the selection. The point-to-point winner Lady In The Park should not be underestimated following a promising bumper effort at Aintree.
Prediction : 1st Little Miss Dante 2nd Party Vibes 3rd Lady In The Park

Autonomous Cloud has to be respected having won a competitive event over C&D in March, but his lack of a recent run may give the edge to BROOMFIELD PRESENT. Kim Bailey's gelding showed plenty of promise over hurdles last season and was far from disgraced on his chasing bow against more seasoned rivals at Exeter. With the benefit of that outing, he gets the vote. Step Above and Farmer's Gamble cannot be discounted, but the former is the pick of that pair.
Prediction : 1st Broomfield Present 2nd Autonomous Cloud 3rd Step Above

There weren't many more progressive hurdlers in training last season than THE IMPOSTER, who won six of his last seven races and was an admirable second in the other. He picked up where he left off at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago to take his game to a new level and must be stuck with, even though he has been bumped up another 5lb. Uno Mas made a decent enough return from the sidelines when fourth at Aintree but Bushypark didn't, finishing last of the finishers in a Pertemps qualifier. Better is expected, though.
Prediction : 1st The Imposter 2nd Uno Mas 3rd Bushypark

KANKIN was sent off favourite on his chasing debut at Huntingdon and didn't disappoint, coming home a length and a quarter clear of the second. There was a subsequent winner back in fourth, so the form is solid, and Alex Hales' seven-year-old can go in again. Roger Rarebit held his form really well last season so didn't deserve to sign off with an Exeter mishap. He could progress again now sent over fences, while Haveanothergoflo is another to tackle the bigger obstacles for the first time. This winning pointer has had wind surgery ahead of his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Kankin 2nd Roger Rarebit 3rd Haveanothergoflo

A potential combination of needing the run and finding 3m too far on his return could be a valid excuse for SOUND AND FURY pulling up at Aintree. He had shown promise in novice/maiden company in the spring, winning at Fontwell in March, and it would be no surprise if the son of Milan bounced back. Kitesurfer and Go Steady can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Sound And Fury 2nd Kitesurfer 3rd Go Steady

LIBOR LAD went up 4lb for his runner-up effort at Stratford at the beginning of the month and this appears to be a fine opportunity for David Dennis' gelding to get off the mark. Bushmill Boy has been competitive in similar events and could have more to offer following his comeback third at Carlisle. Poetria and Lunar Glow are both capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Libor Lad 2nd Bushmill Boy 3rd Poetria
