UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

TAMARIND BAY bolted up on his chasing bow at Stratford and is expected to defy an 8lb hike and rise in grade, with the prospect of lots more to come. Pony Soprano is probably the main threat having posted a couple of solid performances recently, including a win over slightly further here. Irish recruit Sony Bill is no forlorn hope either.
Prediction : 1st Tamarind Bay 2nd Pony Soprano 3rd Sony Bill

The Gordon Elliott-trained FLYING ACE must concede 10lb and upwards to his rivals, but even that might not be enough to stop the progressive gelding from completing his hat-trick. The son of Jet Away can prove too strong for the likes of Way Maker, who finished a creditable second at Southwell latest, and hurdling newcomer Moi Mon Vieux, who displayed ability in a bumper on his UK debut.
Prediction : 1st Flying Ace 2nd Way Maker 3rd Moi Mon Vieux

NEWTOWN RAMBLER made all to complete a double at Perth earlier this month and is now three wins from three under Oakley Brown. It's still difficult to gauge where the ceiling of his ability lies over fences and he's taken to defy a further 9lb rise. Breaking Cover receives a considerable ease in class and is respected, while Sir Tivo is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Newtown Rambler 2nd Breaking Cover 3rd Sir Tivo

Riskintheground has been a fine servant for the Skeltons and finally proved he stays 3m with a determined victory in the Perth Gold Cup. A 4lb rise takes him right to the ceiling of his ability - and possibly beyond - whereas KI WOO has plenty of scope for improvement and looked a chaser going places when winning at Cartmel. Regarde was ahead of him when runner-up at Haydock in April and then occupied the same position at Aintree so must be feared. Samuel Spade forced Grand Clermont and Peaky Boy to settle for minor honours at Worcester, while Queensbury Boy still has time to fulfil his potential.
Prediction : 1st Ki Woo 2nd Regarde 3rd Samuel Spade

MISS GOLDFIRE has struck up a great partnership with Ciaran O'Shea and atoned for a Fontwell mishap in no uncertain terms when coasting home at Newton Abbot. Harry Fry's mare has been hit with an 8lb rise, but looks progressive enough to defy it. Crebilly just about capitalised on a lenient timber figure at Market Rasen and although he has stamina to prove, he must be considered closely. American Sniper and Ebony Warrior also arrive in winning form, and Oakley isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Miss Goldfire 2nd Crebilly 3rd Ebony Warrior

EDELAK is tough to oppose in his bid for a hat-trick. Connections opted to wait for the start of the new season, after just one run in a Listed juvenile contest at Aintree in December, and a 7lb rise following an easy success on his handicap bow at Stratford may not be enough to stop him from progressing further. Hope Rising was beaten a length at the latter venue in May and appears the main threat, while Morning Mayhem boasts stronger credentials than Caelan.
Prediction : 1st Edelak 2nd Hope Rising 3rd Morning Mayhem

Kom Tu Voudras has won two of her three starts since joining Faye Bramley and the six-year-old makes plenty of appeal after a 4lb rise for her most recent success at Worcester. Sun Joy filled the runner-up spot at Fontwell and the step back up in trip promises to yield improvement, but DREAM'S KA is fancied to come out on top. Dan Skelton's gelding has taken his form to a new level in recent weeks and it wouldn't be a surprise if he had more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Dreams Ka 2nd Kom Tu Voudras 3rd Sun Joy
