UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Just the two runners and with the pair making their debuts over fences and the chance of a tactical race, anything could happen. Both have been known to front run, but Ben Pauling has his horses in the better form so PERSONAL AMBITION gets the nod. He does have a few pounds to find on hurdles ratings with Lookaway, but he is lightly raced and could go on to be even better over the larger obstacles. His rival, also a Grade 2-winning novice hurdler, has an exciting future at this game too.
Prediction : 1st Personal Ambition 2nd Lookaway 3rd null

An interesting mares' maiden that sees the highly-regarded QUEENS MELODY make her hurdling debut. A comfortable Hereford bumper winner in March, she was then thrown in at the deep end in a Grade 3 at Punchestown when only 10th, but ought to find this company more to her liking. Seas The Day was second in both her bumpers and should be a different proposition now sent jumping, making her a serious danger to all, while Walkadina and Sunset Marquesa are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Queens Melody 2nd Seas The Day 3rd Walkadina

Star Walking arrives unbeaten after a victory between the flags and a bumper success at Fakenham, although the form isn't really working out. RAILWAY BELL reached the frame in both her point-to-points and made the best possible start under Rules with a comfortable win in a Newton Abbot bumper in May. She may prove good enough to run the leaders down late on over this trip, while Kenmya is a multiple Flat winner on the continent and is worth a market watch ahead of her debut for Dan Skelton.
Prediction : 1st Railway Bell 2nd Star Walking 3rd Kenmya

DIAMOND DEALER had plenty in hand when winning over C&D by 26 lengths just under a month ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 7lb penalty. Julius Des Pictons showed ability when trained in France and has to be of interest on his debut for these connections, while J J Moon and Gamblergo are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Dealer 2nd Julius Des Pictons 3rd J J Moon

HONNEUR D'AJONC bounced back to form when winning over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell, on just his third start for this yard. A 6lb rise for that success seems fair as he may have more improvement left to come. The hat-trick seeking Hawaii Du Mestivel is an obvious threat, but he is 14lb higher than when scoring at Bangor in September. Others to consider are Call To Duty and Tommie Gun.
Prediction : 1st Honneur DAjonc 2nd Hawaii Du Mestivel 3rd Call To Duty

CRYSTAL GLANCE confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut when scoring at Bangor in May. An opening mark of 85 should be workable for the four-year-old and she edges out Ivegotdapower to be the pick in an open event. The latter also won on his most recent outing and may have more to offer, while George Mallory is next best.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Glance 2nd Ivegotdapower 3rd George Mallory

BRIDGET MARY wasn't always the most fluent on her chasing bow, but that didn't stop her from winning at Stratford. The six-year-old ought to have learned plenty from that experience and, with the prospect of more to come, a 4lb rise might prove lenient. Blue Ridge Hill showed only moderate form over hurdles, but he's bred to appreciate the switch to fences and is of interest with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Others to note include Minella Miracle and Song Of Earth.
Prediction : 1st Bridget Mary 2nd Blue Ridge Hill 3rd Song Of Earth

Norr's Cross was just touched off at Tipperary on his Rules debut in May and, now in the care of David Pipe, he is likely to prove popular. Fergal O'Brien often does well in this type of contest so Nathan's Run warrants a market check, as does Jamie Snowden's Fresh Perspective, who won between the flags in January. However, a chance can be taken on BEAU GOLD. The 92,000-euro purchase is a half-brother to the smart Predators Gold, who won on his sole bumper appearance, and it would come as no surprise were the O'Neills' four-year-old to follow suit.
Prediction : 1st Beau Gold 2nd Norrs Cross 3rd Nathans Run
