UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

LORIKO beat his sole rival with the minimum of fuss to land the odds at Huntingdon. This shorter trip shouldn't be an issue on the evidence of his previous efforts over 2m and he's taken to defy a penalty with Dan Skelton''s yard in flying form. Olly Murphy also has his string string in good order and Starshine Legend, a winner over 1m4f on the Flat, should be noted on his hurdling debut, while Biggles is another hurdles newcomer to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Loriko 2nd Starshine Legend 3rd Biggles

COUMEENOOLE is difficult to oppose back in novice company. Picked off late at Market Rasen last time, the son of Harzand landed a handicap at Bangor before that and conditions remain in his favour. Presentandcorrect made a promising start over hurdles when third at Cartmel. He could give the selection something to think about with any further progress, while this extra yardage will likely suit Executive Producer.
Prediction : 1st Coumeenoole 2nd Presentandcorrect 3rd Executive Producer

Placed yet again when third over C&D last time, Secret Trix looks to be treading water off his current mark. Tiger Orchid is another in need of some respite from the handicapper judged on his recent efforts, but MAMMIES BOY has returned to a potentially lenient mark. A winner at Warwick last spring, Nick Scholfield's charge gave notice a return to winning ways may be imminent when third at Exeter, and he gets the nod.
Prediction : 1st Mammies Boy 2nd Secret Trix 3rd Tiger Orchid

Just the four runners declared but it's still competitive stuff, with Nicky Henderson saddling That's Nice, who is taken to improve for going back up in trip. I Am The Moon and Queens Wish aren't out of it, but REGAL RENAISSANCE is the safe play on the basis that she is clearly on good terms with herself. Jack Jones' mare finished a neck second at Stratford and then backed that performance up when going one better at Ludlow.
Prediction : 1st Regal Renaissance 2nd Thats Nice 3rd I Am The Moon

Beorma must be taken seriously if turning up here following her proposed engagements earlier in the week at Southwell and Warwick. However, with her participation not guaranteed, it could be worth looking elsewhere and BRIONYWELLS couldn't have won any easier at Worcester last time. She's got a 7lb penalty for that but is preferred to Saxon Cross and Bowling Shane.
Prediction : 1st Brionywells 2nd Saxon Cross 3rd Bowling Shane

Having travelled with real verve when making a winning stable debut at Worcester recently, there should be more to come from KARNAVAL POINT. Although the assessor has reacted in kind with a 9lb hike, David Pipe's string are in fantastic order and his gelding may follow up. Chase debutant Joltin N Jiving boasts a point-to-point victory and isn't taken lightly given his latest second over timber at Doncaster. Wheresmemoneygone may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Karnaval Point 2nd Joltin N Jiving 3rd Wheresmemoneygone

There was enough encouragement in ASK A SAINTE's fourth over C&D last month to suggest that he can win a race of this nature. That was the six-year-old's first start under the tutelage of Olly Murphy and he makes grand appeal with Sean Bowen taking over in the plate. Zucayan has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and another good account is forecast, while fellow in-form rivals Genbu and Justus are feasible alternatives.
Prediction : 1st Ask A Sainte 2nd Zucayan 3rd Genbu
