UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

KENZOKO produced his best effort so far when runner-up on his handicap debut over C&D and the handicapper has left him on the same mark. He has further assistance with Lewis Saunders taking 3lb off and this appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Lexie's Moon bounced back to form when second at Fontwell and she is capable of being in the mix. El Jefe completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kenzoko 2nd Lexies Moon 3rd El Jefe

TALES OF BRAVERY left behind a disappointing effort on his hurdling debut at Chepstow when finishing third here and Dan Skelton's gelding makes plenty of appeal with the likelihood of more to come. Halftheworldaway placed at Wetherby on Boxing Day and the drop in trip may see her in a better light. Others to note are hurdling newcomer Jet Steel and Up To Trix.
Prediction : 1st Tales Of Bravery 2nd Halftheworldaway 3rd Jet Steel

JAIPALETEMPS continued his fine run of form when scoring in comfortable fashion at Taunton last week and the seven-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack in his bid for a fifth victory of the season. Sunnyvilla improved from his return at Haydock when finishing second at the same venue last month and he is likely to be competitive along with Xcitations.
Prediction : 1st Jaipaletemps 2nd Sunnyvilla 3rd Xcitations

KARUMA GREY bounced back to form when filling second place at Ffos Las earlier in the month and a repeat of that level of form would give him a big chance here. My Noble Lord is capable of going well in a race of this nature and may benefit from the reapplication of cheekpieces. Master Breffni and Abbeydale are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Karuma Grey 2nd My Noble Lord 3rd Master Breffni

Codetalker has to be respected following his Fakenham success shortly before Christmas, but marginal preference is for GEGE VILLE. The 10-year-old made the frame at Haydock on his return and he is entitled to improve significantly for that outing. In The Age is likely to be popular on his handicap debut after his Catterick win, while Orderoftheday completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Gege Ville 2nd Codetalker 3rd In The Age

Aboutdamntime failed to supplement his Catterick triumph when third at Wetherby, but that was still a good effort and he remains of interest. Jo Coko sports first-time cheekpieces after finishing third of four at Newcastle and is noted, but PAPER MILL gets the nod. Stuart Edmunds' veteran struck by more than three lengths over track and trip and considering the manner of that success, he could go in again.
Prediction : 1st Paper Mill 2nd Aboutdamntime 3rd Jo Coko

ETON MES has shown ability in each of his three starts over hurdles, with his best effort arguably his latest fourth at Exeter. David Pipe's charge now takes a step back up in distance on his handicap bow and could defy an opening rating of 100. Richardson was last of five on his return at Leicester, but might be worth another chance. Rock On Tommy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Eton Mes 2nd Richardson 3rd Rock On Tommy
