UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

LUCKY ROSE was having only her third start over fences when successful over this sort of trip at Newton Abbot. Noel Williams' mare has the scope to rate higher, so a 4lb rise doesn't look insurmountable, and she could go in again. McGregors Charge is edging closer to that elusive first win having just missed out at Worcester. Thais Toir is potentially well treated on his best form over fences and showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up here last month.
Prediction : 1st Lucky Rose 2nd McGregors Charge 3rd Thais Toir

Second in a bumper on debut last year, APPLESHAW displayed plenty of ability at Market Rasen on her first start over hurdles. The daughter of Kayf Tara found only the odds-on favourite too good and is entitled to improve with the experience under her belt. Chips And Rice showed she was going the right way when placed at Stratford, while Joueuse Royale is worth noting on her debut for Olly Murphy's yard.
Prediction : 1st Appleshaw 2nd Chips And Rice 3rd Joueuse Royale

Slade Shore won a lower-grade contest at Worcester on last month's chasing bow. There looks more to come from him, but NORTHERN BOUND makes most appeal. Ben Pauling's charge also scored at Worcester, when going in by seven lengths, and another bold bid looks assured. Stratford winner Baskerville ran well again when third at Bangor last time, while Lady Jago could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Northern Bound 2nd Slade Shore 3rd Baskerville

SOLEIL D'ARIZONA had more in hand than the half-length margin for her all-the-way triumph at Warwick might suggest. She has now won two of her three starts since undergoing wind surgery and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent Dan Skelton's progressive mare from following up. Fellow last-time scorers Crown Of India and Forget The Way are also suggested as key players, with the former feared most after a ready success at Worcester.
Prediction : 1st Soleil Darizona 2nd Crown Of India 3rd Forget The Way

MONTICELLO made a winning start for the Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero yard when springing a surprise over C&D last week and is an obviously strong contender under a 7lb penalty. Although a surprise winner on the day, there was little to crab about that performance and the five-year-old could make good progress with that handicap debut under his belt. Basilette is another with scope for progression over hurdles and warrants close inspection, while Portcammon and Window Of Time are each-way possibles.
Prediction : 1st Monticello 2nd Basilette 3rd Portcammon

Lucinda Russell's horses have been in good form and, with that in mind, KILLYBEGS JET LADY could be well placed to add to the stable's positive current statistics. Having finished in the money in each of her last four starts, the eight-year-old's reliability is a likable attribute and a first success under Rules could be attainable here. Varinia struck over this trip at Fakenham last month and warrants serious consideration off 3lb higher. Hexham winner Belladinotte and Talk Of The Moon complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Killybegs Jet Lady 2nd Varinia 3rd Belladinotte
