13:30 Uttoxeter – Class 4 (0-120) Handicap Hurdle 2m7f70y
There isn’t a great deal for jumps fans to get stuck into today, with Ayr falling victim to the conditions very early yesterday, but Uttoxeter seem pretty confident about getting their meeting on despite the threat of further rain at the Staffordshire venue.
We know NORTH PARADE relishes testing conditions as he has a record on heavy ground which reads 311, and he is taken to build on an admittedly low-key return at Newcastle last month now his stable has clicked impressively into gear. North Parade tends to race over shorter, but he does stay this far, and is worth another go at the trip, having finished second off a higher mark over an extended 3m at Haydock last year. Like many from the yard, he’ll benefit from that first run of the season, and will go close if he can avoid careless errors.
15:33 Uttoxeter – Class 5 (0-105) Handicap Hurdle 2m3f207y
There is an obvious unexposed runner in the shape of Olly Murphy’s Hyperbole here, but it’s utter guesswork whether an opening mark of 88 is generous or not, given his three starts over hurdles to date have reaped a pull-up, a last of 13 and a 52-length seventh at Worcester. It’s a wonder the handicapper has even given him a mark, to be honest; he doesn’t have to, if he thinks he hasn’t seen enough, but he’s had the bingo machine out, and two fat ladies it is.
Again, the unexposed runner merits respect, but it’s the Sue Smith/Joel Parkinson axis that provides the more solid alternative, with IT'S MAISY needing testing ground to show her best but denied that benefit this term until now. She wasn’t beaten that far at Wetherby last time and is working her way back towards full fitness while her mark edges down to something inviting, and with the ground fully opened up by the time this comes around, this will be a war of attrition, which is exactly what this dour stayer wants. Her Class 5 handicap record in the mud now reads 112215 and her best effort to date came on heavy ground over C&D.
18:30 Newcastle – Class 6 (0-55) Handicap 6f
UNCLE SAM has only won the once in fourteen starts, but that was over track and trip; if we take his Newcastle form in isolation it reads a much more respectable 13682, and there are sound reasons for thinking he might be able to double his tally tonight.
He’s steadily been refinding his form this autumn and finished second to Teardrops over this C&D last time with today’s rider Jo Mason taking over in the saddle. The winner went in again next time to give the form a solid look and perhaps the addition of some headgear tonight can help him find a bit more. He’s drawn next to the likely pacesetter Superior Council here and that rival can give him a target to aim at.
