Uttoxeter 4.15
By National Hunt UK (Robin T)
Robin - Uttoxter 4.15 - Handicap Hurdle - 2 miles 4 furlongs - 14 run - Going Good / Good to Soft
This quirky Track regularly throws up big priced winners and more often than not there is previous Course form hidden in the past if you look for it. So, I strongly suggest a small £1 e/w on both ULYSSES who has won off this mark at this trip in the past and LADY P whose best form is at this Track and who has form at shorter and at this trip plus the benefit of a runner up effort on recent seasonal debut.
Of the remainder, Couldbeaweapon could be tough to beat if reappearing after an impressive win at Worcester yesterday, Muy Bien for Harry Fry is a progressive type upped in trip on seasonal debut and may just need this. Let Me Entertain U would normally need further and makes seasonal reappearance after another wind operation so may be here just to get the lungs opened up for better chances later on. Marta Des Mottes may be a danger on some form and both First Man and Craic Magic are ones to watch for signs of progress after around 18 months off. Both showed some promise prior to lay off and worth Tracking forwards after today.
The pair in addition to the long priced ones that caught me eye are LOUGH CARRA and PARDON ME.
LOUGH CARRA is race fit, runner up the last twice and really deserves to get its head in front and although exposed should be able to beat some more progressive types before they get race fit. PARDON ME returns to hurdles after Chasing form deteriorated but runs off 10lbs lower than his last Hurdle win mark and the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies for the Easterbys, who love some fun with a small string of NH horses really caught my eye.
