UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Bumper winner JAFIMGOSO just missed out when carrying a penalty at Market Rasen last month. Dan Skelton's charge may prove the one to beat tackling hurdles for the first time. Baskerville looked in the process of posting a better effort at Stratford when stumbling and parting company with his rider two out. He can figure with a clear round, while Don Rafael was making late progress at Hereford on his hurdling bow and is one to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Jafimgoso 2nd Baskerville 3rd Don Rafael

MOKORO faded badly at Warwick on his hurdling debut. He's subsequently undergone a wind operation, though, and gets another chance with his trainer in such good form. Better is expected from Newton returning to this shorter trip, while Zodiac Star is another likely improver on his second start after wind surgery. Valsad has won three times on the Flat and makes his hurdling bow, having switched to Harry Derham's yard.
Prediction : 1st Mokoro 2nd Newton 3rd Zodiac Star

WE GOTTA GETAWAY showed plenty of battling qualities to regain the lead in the closing stages at Market Rasen and open his account. He looks capable of defying a 5lb rise in this company. Just Chasing May looked sure to figure in the finish before falling at the last here a month ago, while Western Glen posted an improved effort when fourth at Market Rasen and can also figure.
Prediction : 1st We Gotta Getaway 2nd Just Chasing May 3rd Western Glen

UNWANTED ATTENTION won impressively over 2m5f at Market Rasen earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. That said, Higgs has been in terrific form of late and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Barrakhov edges out King Of The Hill and Maska Du Morvan to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Unwanted Attention 2nd Higgs 3rd Barrakhov

In a moderate event, it is hard to oppose FAHA BELLE, who was a close second in a similar contest over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen last time and is only 2lb higher here. Shibuya Song was fourth in the same race and could make the frame once again, although she will do well to reverse the form. Others to consider are Killybegs Jet Lady and Of Course You Can.
Prediction : 1st Faha Belle 2nd Shibuya Song 3rd Killybegs Jet Lady

Rajjamataz has to be of interest following his 10-length success at Fontwell a month ago, but a 10lb rise has to be a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for MALPAS, who readily accounted for Limetree Boy over 2m1f at Bangor and merits plenty of respect off just 5lb higher. Limetree Boy now has blinkers applied for the first time so should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Malpas 2nd Rajjamataz 3rd Limetree Boy

PRINCE DE JUILLEY justified favouritism when registering a first success under Rules at Warwick at the end of last month and the seven-year-old may have more to offer in this sphere. Mr Tambourine Man is an obvious threat based on his victory at Worcester a fortnight ago, while the booking of Danny Mullins for Crossing The Bar makes him of significant interest.
Prediction : 1st Prince De Juilley 2nd Mr Tambourine Man 3rd Crossing The Bar

DAMZON took a decent step forward from her debut when outrunning odds of 66/1 to finish runner-up at Southwell last month. In a contest that appears to lack much depth on paper, James Evans' mare gets the vote to go one better. Dance The Moon boasts a smart pedigree and is entitled to improve from her Newbury introduction in December, while That'll Do Moss and O'grady's Hill appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Damzon 2nd Dance The Moon 3rd Thatll Do Moss
