UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Saint Bibiana comfortably won her last two starts and is suggested as a key player, despite going up 6lb for her front-running success at Warwick. Now tried with a first-time tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination, another bold showing is feasible. However, the less-exposed TWIST OF FATECATCH captures the imagination after a near-miss over 2m4f at Ffos Las. Also with cheekpieces added, this longer trip could draw further improvement. Recent C&D winner Roger Pol and Mostly Sunny also make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Twist Of Fatecatch 2nd Saint Bibiana 3rd Roger Pol

Digby won cosily over fences at Bangor before posting another ready success over hurdles at Ballinrobe. However, an 8lb higher rating than for that victory in North Wales demands more and it can pay to side with COCO MADEMOISELLE. A winner over 3m here last month, this additional yardage could bring even more out of the Dan Skelton-trained mare. Hold Your Fort and Stans The Man are other in-form contenders to consider.
Prediction : 1st Coco Mademoiselle 2nd Digby 3rd Hold Your Fort

QUEENSWORTHY was placed to good effect to win a bumper at Southwell before making light work of the opposition in a mares' maiden hurdle at Market Rasen. A 6lb penalty looks very manageable for this progressive mare, who should have few issues with the longer trip. Laravie is feared most on the back of a brace of handicap successes over further, here and at Stratford. Hey Babbs could be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Queensworthy 2nd Laravie 3rd Hey Babbs

A prolific winner over hurdles, GALE MAHLER was having only her second start over fences when making every yard over 2m here. She should have plenty more to offer in this discipline and another bold bid is anticipated, with the longer distance not a problem. Jaramillo won easily in this grade at Newton Abbot in April and has the scope to rate higher over fences, while Lady Jago represents last year's winning trainer and could also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Gale Mahler 2nd Jaramillo 3rd Lady Jago

SUPREME YEATS was having his first outing since last August when finishing a creditable second at Stratford last month. He separated a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion, so a big run looks on the cards from Dan Skelton's charge. Fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, Gilbertina found only one too good over these hurdles last time and will be hard to keep out of the frame, while maiden hurdle winner Don Virginia could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Yeats 2nd Gilbertina 3rd Don Virginia

Duke Of Luckley continued his upward trajectory when making a winning seasonal bow at Southwell last month and warrants respect in his bid to complete a four-timer. However, preference is for THIRD TIME LUCKI. Fergal O'Brien's inmate made light work of reopposing runner-up Fringill Dike at Bangor 43 days ago and he's taken to overcome a 9lb rise. Fellow last-time-out winner Doyouknowwhatimean is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Third Time Lucki 2nd Duke Of Luckley 3rd Doyouknowwhatimean

HOWTH had little difficulty in justifying favouritism at Fakenham at the start of this month and is fancied to maintain his unbeaten record over hurdles. The hat-trick seeking six-year-old makes his handicap bow in this discipline off what looks a workable mark and any improvement could make him tough to beat. Time Interval is also chasing a third successive victory and is feared most, ahead of Bannister.
Prediction : 1st Howth 2nd Time Interval 3rd Bannister
