UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

A major improver for the step up in trip when scoring over 3m at Ffos Las, POOLEY'S PROMISE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 5lb higher. East Eagle arrives with similar claims after a taking success at Southwell and a 6lb rise could prove lenient on his second start back after wind surgery. Geordie Night and Getuptheyard are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Pooleys Promise 2nd East Eagle 3rd Geordie Night

MISS MAVERICK has a fine record around here and she arrives in top form following a determined success at Hexham off 5lb lower. The eight-year-old is capable of going in again and is preferred to Marlacoo, who wasn't beaten far when looking to supplement an Ayr triumph over further at Fontwell last month. Fine Casting may also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Miss Maverick 2nd Marlacoo 3rd Fine Casting

This can go the way of CRYSTAL SPRING following arguably a career-best effort when second at Fakenham. The booking of Sean Bowen is noteworthy and, in receiving 14lb from easy Ludlow winner Service Minimum, she may have enough to gain a first career success. A promising second in a bumper at Wincanton when last seen, Fresh As A Daisy must be of interest on her hurdles bow.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Spring 2nd Service Minimum 3rd Fresh As A Daisy

Light N Strike won cosily enough, despite a mistake at the last, at Newton Abbot and he can go well off 5lb higher, but HELTENHAM ticks more boxes. Seven of his eight successes have been over this sort of trip, including a 13-length Perth victory last month, and an added 8lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop Dan Skelton's representative. Top-weight Matterhorn is another to consider after a return to form when second at Plumpton.
Prediction : 1st Heltenham 2nd Light N Strike 3rd Matterhorn

LEADING FORCE made his first appearance for James Owen when beaten a head over hurdles at Southwell on Tuesday and he could be the one now returning to fences off the same mark. Art Of Diplomacy has been a bit frustrating with eight consecutive top-four finishes since joining the Bowen team and may have to settle for more of the same. Sweet Street has won off this rating before and has her first start following wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Leading Force 2nd Art Of Diplomacy 3rd Sweet Street

MY FRIEND SEAN has gone from strength to strength since December, recording four victories out of five starts. Tom Lacey's yard is in fine form at present and the six-year-old can continue his rise through the ranks. Vocito struck over fences prior to disappointing in fifth at Perth last month, but is one to watch out for now stepping back into this sphere. Tara Iti can beat Model Approach home for third.
Prediction : 1st My Friend Sean 2nd Vocito 3rd Tara Iti

Ask A Sainte is the only contender with previous experience after an encouraging third on debut at Wincanton and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward. Even so, STRONG VIEW looks the more appealing option. The daughter of Telescope is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Strong Leader and goes for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Any market support behind Alba Crus would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Strong View 2nd Ask A Sainte 3rd Alba Crus
