UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

CLASSIC MAESTRO has been rattling the crossbar of late and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Saint Bibiana is entitled to build on her hurdles debut when fifth over 2m4f at this venue, with this emphasis on stamina expected to see her in a better light. She is feared most ahead of Rules debutant Free The Lion, who hasn't been disgraced between the flags.
Prediction : 1st Classic Maestro 2nd Saint Bibiana 3rd Free The Lion

Although keen, West Warhorse appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when opening his account over 2m4f at Fakenham recently. A return to 2m in this contest may leave him vulnerable, with fellow last-time-out scorer LET'S GO JOE edging the vote. The gelded son of Cannock Chase won a shade cosily at Sedgefield last month and displayed enough speed that day to suggest he can cope with this drop in distance. Grand Albert and Chatshow Tv also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go Joe 2nd West Warhorse 3rd Grand Albert

BEAR GHYLLS shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when 16th in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He was quickly given a wind procedure after that performance and could be worth chancing on his reappearance off a 4lb lower mark. Benassi found only a subsequent winner too strong at Lingfield last month and he's likely to give another good account of himself, while Sizing Pottsie is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Bear Ghylls 2nd Benassi 3rd Sizing Pottsie

BARNCROFT showed sizeable improvement after his underwhelming first outing for the Fergal O'Brien when hitting the crossbar in this grade over 2m4f here last month. He was put up just 1lb for that display and, if the son of Getaway takes a step up in distance in his stride, he could go one better. Newtonian ran a lot better than market expectations to fill the runner-up spot at Ludlow last time and could have a say, while Abbeyhill is in good heart.
Prediction : 1st Barncroft 2nd Newtonian 3rd Abbeyhill

PENPAL returned from a long absence to deny his nearest rival by just over four lengths in this grade at Newcastle in May and, providing he returns in the same sort of form, he could prove very difficult to beat off a 6lb higher rating. The main danger is One Last Glance, who was 12 lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Lingfield last month and it would be no surprise to see him involved. Of the remainder, last-time-out winner Little Pi makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Penpal 2nd One Last Glance 3rd Little Pi

MOONLIT POTTER shaped with plenty of promise when finishing a fair fourth at Wetherby and, considering that was her first day at school, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance. She can find enough improvement to get off the mark in this contest. Jasmine Bliss finished fourth at Ludlow and now goes in a first-time tongue-tie, so she has to be respected along with newcomer Lady Nell.
Prediction : 1st Moonlit Potter 2nd Jasmine Bliss 3rd Lady Nell
