UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

ENDLESS SUPPLY has shown promise in a couple of similar races and, with the step up trip a likely prompt for further improvement, she looks a key player here. Tintagel Queen hinted at ability when third of eight over an extended 2m3f on her hurdles debut at Lingfield last month and is another to consider over this longer distance. Ottoline runs is also dangerous to rule out, given she is still of low mileage over timber and runs for an in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Endless Supply 2nd Tintagel Queen 3rd Ottoline

On the back of a near-miss C&D last month, ITSNOTEASY could be hard to beat if he continues to flourish in the same manner shown since he switched to racing under Rules. Both trip and ground look ideal and another bold effort is expected from the Olly Murphy-trained gelding, especially with Sean Bowen retaining the ride. Intimate is notable on just his second start after wind surgery, while Chindit Warrior is respected on his debut for the Paul Nicholls yard.
Prediction : 1st Itsnoteasy 2nd Intimate 3rd Chindit Warrior

A game winner at Carlisle 19 days ago, the lightly-weighted Begoodtoyourself enters calculations off just a 3lb higher mark, while Jack Sprat is not underestimated despite the imposition of top-weight. However, the consistent HI RIKO is nominated after posting a couple of near-misses in similar contests last month. The Richard Hobson-trained gelding has gone up another 5lb for his latest effort but still looks on a workable mark and is hard to ignore, especially with Brian Hughes now doing the steering.
Prediction : 1st Hi Riko 2nd Begoodtoyourself 3rd Jack Sprat

Trainer Venetia Williams has won two of the last three runnings of this race and she could enhance that record courtesy of DESQUE DE L'ISLE here. An easy winner of a conditional jockeys' race at Lingfield last time out, he is unpenalised here but is due to go up 5lb for future contests and he looks well in here. Sure Touch could be his main rival on ground he has won on before and he makes his second start after wind surgery, leaving Eaton Collina to follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Desque De LIsle 2nd Sure Touch 3rd Eaton Collina

A wide-open contest at first glance, but one that may well go the way of CLASSIC MAESTRO, who looks the best handicapped in this field. He remains a maiden after three starts, but was only beaten a neck at Newcastle last time out with 22 lengths back to the third and that appears the best form on offer. Due to go up 6lb for future races, his chance is there for all to see and he could get the better of Bobo Mac and Barricane, who are feared most.
Prediction : 1st Classic Maestro 2nd Bobo Mac 3rd Barricane

ROCKINASTORM made it 2-2 over the larger obstacles when landing a conditional jockeys' event at Hereford on Saturday and the son of Mahler makes plenty of appeal, especially being 6lb well-in. Imperial Alex has been knocking on the door on his latest outings and is likely to be in the mix once again. Breeze Of Wind, a comfortable winner at Hexham, and On The Platform are others capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Rockinastorm 2nd Imperial Alex 3rd Breeze Of Wind

SMART CASUAL was just denied when attempting to get off the mark at Fontwell and the five-year-old, who is 3lb well-in, boasts strong credentials with the drop back in trip appearing to be in his favour. Damarta makes his handicap debut following a wind operation and commands a fair amount of respect, while Sailed Away could have more to offer on his return to 2m after not appearing to get home at Taunton last time.
Prediction : 1st Smart Casual 2nd Damarta 3rd Sailed Away
