UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

MATTIE ROSS was a clear second when bumping into a progressive mare over C&D on her latest outing in April and she looks the most likely winner after being eased 1lb by the handicapper. Richard Phillips' charge was 11 lengths clear of the pursuers that day and this mark of 96 can be exploited. Dasher is rated as the biggest danger with Nigel Twiston-Davies' runner likely to fare better on his handicap bow, while similar comments apply to Overabottleofred.
Prediction : 1st Mattie Ross 2nd Dasher 3rd Overabottleofred

A host of last-time-out winners line up in this contest, but it's DEXTERITY who makes most appeal today. The seven-year-old arrives here for Olly Murphy, who has a very good record at this venue, and he can build on his first start under Rules when he was second over 2m4f at Perth last month. The in-form Emma Lavelle saddles Disco Daisy and she commands respect following a comfortable success over 2m3f at Haydock last time, while Gwash should also be on the scene.
Prediction : 1st Dexterity 2nd Disco Daisy 3rd Gwash

Post Chaise was a good second over the extended 3m at Southwell last time and he commands respect in this field, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings which could leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals such as RISK AND ROLL. James Evans' charge arrives here on his last winning mark of 123 when he scored over C&D last September and he looks set to offer a bold bid today. Hitching Jacking should also be taken seriously dropped in class after running with credit amongst classier rivals over 3m at Ayr last month.
Prediction : 1st Risk And Roll 2nd Post Chaise 3rd Hitching Jacking

A fascinating feature that can go the way of TAKE NO CHANCES, who represents a stable that excel in races of this nature. Dan Skelton's charge bumped into a subsequent two-time winner when finishing runner-up over 3m at Newbury on her penultimate start before making no mistake at Warwick last month, and the suspicion is that she hasn't shown her full hand to the handicapper yet. City Chief has flashes of smart form and is respected back over the smaller obstacles. Tightenourbelts appears to have slipped to an attractive mark and isn't one to discount.
Prediction : 1st Take No Chances 2nd City Chief 3rd Tightenourbelts

SINISTER MINISTER scored readily over an extended 2m4f at Bangor on his penultimate start before posting a lacklustre effort when the quick turnaround may have caught him out under two weeks later at Hereford last October. Eased 1lb, he gets the tentative vote to show his rivals the way home on his return. Bring The Action clearly benefitted from wind surgery when scoring in determined fashion at Hereford last month and is respected, despite a 5lb rise. The largely consistent Pilgrims King also merits consideration, for all that he has never won from a mark this high.
Prediction : 1st Sinister Minister 2nd Bring The Action 3rd Pilgrims King

THATZA DAZZLER finished over seven lengths clear of the third when a close second at Ffos Las earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that effort looks to be on the lenient side. David Brace's six-year-old could be the one to beat on that evidence. Happy Boy is his obvious main threat after he bolted up at Kempton last month, but was hit with a 10lb hike for that success, which makes life tougher. Strutter completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Thatza Dazzler 2nd Happy Boy 3rd Strutter

JASMIN DE GRUGY justified favouritism in easy fashion at Ffos Las earlier in the month and he was given a 12lb rise for that victory. Anthony Honeyball's gelding could have plenty more to offer and he should prove too good for these. Earth Cry has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and he should remain competitive, while Northern Rose is best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Jasmin De Grugy 2nd Earth Cry 3rd Northern Rose
