UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

This can go the way of RACE TO BASE, who was last seen scoring from a subsequent winner at Hereford in April and is bred to relish the switch to hurdles as a former point-to-point winner. The son of Vadamos gets the vote ahead of Tiptoptim, who is another making his hurdles bow after an easy bumper success at Newcastle in March. Dropping significantly in trip on his second start for new connections after finishing second here last time out, De Temps En Temps may also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Race To Base 2nd Tiptoptim 3rd De Temps En Temps

FORTUNE DE MER may have disappointed when last seen in the Champion Bumper, but he was a Listed winner in that sphere last year and this appeals as an ideal starting point to his hurdling career. A determined bumper winner at Fakenham when last seen in February, Kefir D'oudairies must enter calculations for his leading connections, while Granpa Ger is an experienced sort from Ireland that looks an intriguing recruit to the Belinda Clarke stable.
Prediction : 1st Fortune De Mer 2nd Kefir Doudairies 3rd Granpa Ger

Not beaten too far over C&D on his most recent start when fourth, and a winner at Cartmel on his penultimate outing, DEXTER has done well since joining these connections and he may be able to strike for the seventh time in his career. A creditable third over track and trip in July before disappointing here last time out, En Avant remains open to improvement in this sphere, with the same being said of Onewayortother, who may be suited by dropping back in trip on his first run since last November.
Prediction : 1st Dexter 2nd En Avant 3rd Onewayortother

Jazz De Cotte was all out to score by a length at Downpatrick in July and has since switched to the Donald McCain stable, so he warrants a market check. Iamcelestialgift won his sole outing at Carlisle in April and is respected, but KILBAKANTO gets the nod. Dan Skelton's point-to-point winner changed hands for 100,000 pounds and is a half-brother to hurdle/chase scorer Windance. If ready to go on his first outing under Rules, he could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Kilbakanto 2nd Jazz De Cotte 3rd Iamcelestialgift

Only 3lb separates the field on their hurdle ratings, so a tentative vote goes to COUNTRY MILE. The son of Ocovango was well beaten in Grade 1 company over the smaller obstacles at Aintree last December, but the fact he missed the remainder of the season suggests all wasn't well on that occasion. He might prove to be a different proposition over fences. Miami Magic finished in front of the selection in that event and is far from out of it for the in-form Stuart Edmunds team. Alnilam can beat Brentford Hope home for third.
Prediction : 1st Country Mile 2nd Miami Magic 3rd Alnilam

Imperial Data failed to land the hat-trick when third at Perth, but that was still a fair effort and he has to be respected. Supremely West needs to be monitored in the market on his first appearance for the Dan Skelton yard, but WA WA gets the vote. Olly Murphy's veteran got up for second over track and trip in a warmer event in May and goes off an unchanged rating. If the son of Yeats is ready to go on his return, he could prove hard to beat.
Prediction : 1st Wa Wa 2nd Imperial Data 3rd Supremely West

GAELIC PARK ran his best race over fences yet when a six-length third over C&D on his first start in over nine months and debuting for new connections. If taking a step forward in first-time cheekpieces, he could win his first race over the larger obstacles. Ali Star Bert has won here twice, once each over hurdles and fences, and as he has won elsewhere off higher marks he warrant plenty of respect, while Rostello drops a class and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Gaelic Park 2nd Ali Star Bert 3rd Rostello

Having put a below-par fourth behind him when coming home in good style over C&D last month, Diesel Line warrants respect on his current upward trajectory. However, the seven-year-old does require another career-best performance off an 8lb higher mark and fellow last-time-out winner DREAMS FLED AWAY edges the vote. Barry Brennan's inmate thwarted a hat-trick seeking rival at Bangor 30 days ago and similar positive tactics may see him following up. Handicap/seasonal debutant Surrey Lord is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dreams Fled Away 2nd Diesel Line 3rd Surrey Lord
