UK Horse Racing Tips: Uttoxeter

Betty's Tiara appreciated a switch back to hurdles when returning to winning ways at Worcester and a 4lb rise is mostly negated by Callum Pritchard's claim. Billy Boi Blue scored over C&D in July and would have every chance if repeating that effort, but CRYSTAL GLANCE deserves another chance. Pulled up here last time, a subsequent wind operation has the potential to see her bounce back to form.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Glance 2nd Bettys Tiara 3rd Billy Boi Blue

TIME IN A BOTTLE boasts plenty of experience and appears to have a solid opportunity to gain a first victory over hurdles on her debut for the Skeltons. Formerly with Henry de Bromhead, she ran well on a couple of occasions over timber last year and arrives in England following a spell in the pointing sphere, where she won twice from six outings. Jentobello is entitled to come forward from his return at Market Rasen last month, while Downpatrick bumper winner Martymill and Nightflyer are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Time In A Bottle 2nd Jentobello 3rd Martymill

ICE JET has filled the runner-up spot twice over fences and now has a fine opportunity to go one better. He might have won with a more fluent round of jumping on his chasing bow here in July and bumped into a rival who was landing a four-timer when turned over at Newton Abbot. Chase debutant Dream Diamond is entitled to be in the mix, while Supreme George seeks a fifth success over fences.
Prediction : 1st Ice Jet 2nd Dream Diamond 3rd Supreme George

PHANTOM GOLD has stepped forward considerably in handicaps and made it third-time lucky since moving out of maiden/novice company when landing the odds at Worcester in July. The eight-year-old is making up for lost time and a 4lb rise appears to be more than fair. Royal Rhythm arrives seeking a hat-trick after landing an event for conditionals at Fontwell, which means he escapes a penalty. A drop back in trip is a positive for October Hill.
Prediction : 1st Phantom Gold 2nd Royal Rhythm 3rd October Hill

Axel Bleue beat Gwash at Worcester at the beginning of July and again showed excellent resolution when successful over the same track and trip most recently. In between those two triumphs, though, he was touched off by MT FUGI PARK there and the O'Neills' eight-year-old can confirm that superiority, however marginal, on slightly better terms. Grand Clermont seems to like this venue, while Bagheera Ginge was struggling to keep up when coming down at Stratford and will happier back up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Mt Fugi Park 2nd Axel Bleue 3rd Grand Clermont

LATIN was a good moneyspinner on the all-weather for James Owen at the start of the year, but a bad error scuppered his chances of capitalising on a comparatively lenient NH mark on his handicap bow in this sphere. He has joined the Olly Murphy team since that Worcester outing and can make amends. Lady Dapple Rose must not be written off following an early Fontwell tumble on her debut for Ben Pauling. Cawthorne Banker completed a C&D double in July but the handicapper had taken revenge by the time he got to Worcester last time, while Mi Sueno might need a fraction further.
Prediction : 1st Latin 2nd Lady Dapple Rose 3rd Mi Sueno

French import Martin's Denuo showed improvement from his UK debut to chase home an odds-on favourite at Fontwell and is likely to give another bold sight. Hudson had Mix Of Clover a few positions behind him when making the frame at Worcester and has scope for improvement over fences, although not more than MR RAFIKI. The O'Neills' five-year-old made gradual progress over timber, but is bred to come into his own now chasing and starts handicap life on a nice mark.
Prediction : 1st Mr Rafiki 2nd Martins Denuo 3rd Hudson
