UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

With the likelihood of this being a gruelling test of stamina if the ground remains heavy, the previous course experience held by the returning GOOD IMPRESSION could be a key asset. Already a dual C&D winner, the selection is proven under the forecast conditions and resumes from a workable rating. Hawk Stone is still open to progress and is feared, despite a modest round of jumping taking its toll when he was narrowly touched off last time out. Yellow Jacket needs to improve but rates pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Good Impression 2nd Hawk Stone 3rd Yellow Jacket

ONE BIG BANG, who showed a good deal of ability during his time in Ireland, fully justified the strong support he received in the betting when he made a successful debut for the James Own yard in a deeper-looking race at Haydock last week, and is hard to oppose in his bid for a quick follow-up success. Livin On Luco has finished a close second on both starts since his maiden success at Chepstow in January and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Valfortore has plenty to find.
Prediction : 1st One Big Bang 2nd Livin On Luco 3rd Valfortore

A winner on the Irish point-to-point scene before scoring on her first two starts for Donald McCain, there is a lot to like about the chance held by EMILY'S CHOICE, who debuts in a handicap from a competitive mark and is a strong fancy to extend her winning sequence. Blue Beach has faced stiffer tests than this and is a must for the shortlist, while Crem Fresh is also dangerous to rule out.
Prediction : 1st Emilys Choice 2nd Blue Beach 3rd Crem Fresh

JUPITER DU GITE relished the step up in trip when making all over C&D last month. A 7lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent Gary Moore's gelding from going in again and he looks capable of better over fences. The biggest challenge may emerge from last-time-out Chepstow faller Happy And Fine, who appeared to be travelling okay before that mishap at the fourth-last obstacle, while a 40-day break may have freshened up Gardener.
Prediction : 1st Jupiter Du Gite 2nd Happy And Fine 3rd Gardener

A 7lb penalty for ROUGE DE L'QUEST's easy triumph at Ffos Las on Sunday looks far from insurmountable for the eight-year-old. A quick turnaround could make life tougher for Rebecca Curtis' charge, but he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to double his tally. Glance From Clover shouldn't be inconvenienced by a return to this distance and the gelded son of Passing Glance may put up most resistance to the selection, ahead of top-weight Not Sure.
Prediction : 1st Rouge De Lquest 2nd Glance From Clover 3rd Not Sure

KRUGER PARK appears to be going the right way based on his last couple of starts, having finished runner-up on his handicap bow at Fontwell before going one place better in authoritative style at Newbury. The handicapper reacted accordingly by putting him up 11lb, which is negated slightly by Freddie Gingell being able to use his full 5lb allowance as opposed to 3lb last time, and further progression may be forthcoming, especially now stepping up in trip. Accidental Legend, who has been a consistent performer of late, and the hat-trick seeking Here Comes McCoy appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kruger Park 2nd Accidental Legend 3rd Here Comes McCoy

REALCO made a promising start for a stable more renowned for their chasers than bumper horses when third at Chepstow last month under similar conditions and that experience may prove to be vital today. Rockchoeur has shown ability on both starts to date and he's capable of having a big say, while any market support for Misteroddsocks would make him of considerable interest.
Prediction : 1st Realco 2nd Rockchoeur 3rd Misteroddsocks
