UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

REINADO looked certain to go close when falling at the last at Ffos Las recently. This wouldn't appear to be the deepest of contests so, provided that tumble hasn't knocked his confidence, he must have an excellent chance. Kabuki should appreciate a return to hurdles having struggled on the Flat in the summer, while market support for handicap debutant Huxley would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Reinado 2nd Kabuki 3rd Huxley

Many of these lack experience over timber, but dual bumper winner QUEENOFTHEJUKEBOX could make a smooth transition to hurdling. There is plenty of stamina on the dam's side, but she is from the family of classy two-miler Accordion Etoile so this intermediate trip shouldn't be a problem. Harmony Heights shaped with promise on her hurdling bow at Chepstow and is entitled to improve. Irish import Cool Brise and Rene's Walk would also warrant consideration should the market react favourably to them.
Prediction : 1st Queenofthejukebox 2nd Harmony Heights 3rd Cool Brise

AWORKINPROGRESS might have lived up to his name over hurdles, but it was a completely different story when switched to the larger obstacles last term. A perfect four from four so far, including a hat-trick of wins at Lingfield, the progressive gelding may still be well handicapped from 7lb higher. Given that he's been successful when fresh previously, this could be another fine opportunity. Broomfields Cave has a lengthy absence to overcome but looks the biggest threat, although Gold Clermont should benefit from a drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Aworkinprogress 2nd Broomfields Cave 3rd Gold Clermont

Last year's winner Lime Drop is back for more, although she is 10lb higher this time around and arrives following a fall on her reappearance. She still warrants consideration but BLACKSAMSSENORITA showed good ability as a novice hurdler and is fancied to take her game to a new level now she tackles fences, with a mark of 108 perfectly acceptable on her handicap bow. Passing Kate has won both completed starts in this sphere, although her jumping when pulled up in between those victories gives cause for concern.
Prediction : 1st Blacksamssenorita 2nd Lime Drop 3rd Passing Kate

JASMINE D'AIRY made amends for a couple of defeats as favourite when laughing at a subsequent three-time winner in the hands of Ben Sutton at Plumpton. Given time to strengthen further, Harry Derham's mare can pick up where she left off, although Choice Runner was in the process of making an encouraging jumping debut when coming to grief here back in the spring and has had wind surgery during his time off. Brixson returned from a spell on the sidelines with a solid Wetherby second, while U S Marshall cost 55,000 pounds after scoring between the flags in Ireland.
Prediction : 1st Jasmine Dairy 2nd Choice Runner 3rd Brixson

Hillsin has to be respected following his Exeter success last month, but a 3lb rise demands more from him. With that in mind, preference is for DRAYTON FLYER, who has shown promise in all three starts to date and a mark of 104 should be workable on his handicap debut. Thank You Blue edges out Tarbuck to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Drayton Flyer 2nd Hillsin 3rd Thank You Blue

RATHKENNY ran well on both starts between the flags and was successful on the most recent of those occasions in April. The five-year-old makes his Rules debut here and could be up making it a victorious one. Any market support for Eastern Fire or Laraktar would have to be noted, while Maximum Benefit is the pick of those with bumper experience.
Prediction : 1st Rathkenny 2nd Eastern Fire 3rd Laraktar
