UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

An impressive winner over 2m4f on her first start for new connections at Ffos Las recently, REINA DEL MAR showed enough pace to suggest that she can handle a drop back to 2m. There might be more to come, and she is taken to go in again. Unbeaten in two bumper starts, Jentobello must be of interest on his hurdles bow, while Newton Abbot scorer Breaking Cover is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Reina Del Mar 2nd Jentobello 3rd Breaking Cover

WESTERN CLOUDS shaped with promise on her Rules debut before finding improvement to score at Perth next time. A drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience the mare and she is taken to follow up under a 7lb penalty. Narrowly denied in a bumper at Worcester recently, Drombeg Lad must enter calculations on his hurdles bow, whilst Final Straw ought to progress having finished a creditable fourth on his debut at Southwell last month.
Prediction : 1st Western Clouds 2nd Drombeg Lad 3rd Final Straw

DEADLY MISSILE appeared to relish a return to further when on target over C&D last time out. The eight-year-old had Zoffalee (second) in behind that day and despite having to shoulder a penalty, he is expected to confirm his superiority en route to further success. Perth scorer Wheresmemoneygone is open to any amount of improvement and must be respected along with School For Scandal, who returned to winning ways at Worcester last month.
Prediction : 1st Deadly Missile 2nd Wheresmemoneygone 3rd Zoffalee

EZ TIGER made all to score in a similar contest at Worcester last month and, kept to the same level, a 4lb rise shouldn't be any barrier to further success. Ambassador has won the two previous renewals, the latest from 12lb higher, and he is entitled to the utmost respect. Papa Barns hit the woodwork on his first start for the Olly Murphy team last month and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ez Tiger 2nd Ambassador 3rd Papa Barns

It was a more encouraging effort from Shantou Express when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Stratford recently, and he ought to be involved should they have a similar effect. Gwash drops in class and must enter the reckoning too, but SUPREME YEATS gets the verdict. Second on his last three starts, Dan Skelton's charge should appreciate a return to further and compensation may await.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Yeats 2nd Shantou Express 3rd Gwash

Luckie Seven hasn't been seen since November but the low-mileage seven-year-old is already a two-time winner over hurdles and needs to be monitored in the betting ahead of his seasonal return. Hiconic won this last year off 1lb higher and could go well with 5lb conditional Jamie Brace aboard, but ROCKOLA gets the vote. Alan King's mare was able to record a comfortable success at Worcester last month and there could be more to come despite a subsequent 5lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Rockola 2nd Luckie Seven 3rd Hiconic

SCHMILSSON failed to complete the hat-trick when well beaten at Stratford at the start of the month. Eased 2lb in the handicap and dropped in grade with Sean Bowen keeping the partnership intact, he looks the one to beat. Ballywilliam Boy has been running well in defeat of late and is one to take seriously, while Hold Onto The Line warrants a market check on his first start for the Olly Murphy yard.
Prediction : 1st Schmilsson 2nd Ballywilliam Boy 3rd Hold Onto The Line

LITTLE LADY ROCK has taken the silver medal home on both of her bumper starts, most recently over C&D. Sean Bowen gets aboard for the first time today and any further improvement could make her a tough nut to crack. Market support for point-to-point winner Sincerely Me, who debuts for the Christian Williams team, would be noteworthy. Masked Mistress is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Little Lady Rock 2nd Sincerely Me 3rd Masked Mistress
