Shentri²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 120

3/1

Returned to form when with a good second in 7-runner Plumpton event (20f) 21 days ago, despite a mixed round of jumping. Up in trip here and clear claims if seeing out the trip.

Form: 23256-2

No No Maestro^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117| CD

2/1

Completed hat-trick between July and October (2 wins here) last year and shaped as if reatining all his ability when runner-up in a Worcester novice hurdle 18 days ago. Bold bid assured back chasing.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans| OR: 107| C| D

15/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2018, but generally held his form from similar marks last summer. Well below best on return at Haydock 43 days ago, though.

Form: 2U3256-

An Marcach^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 98

13/8

Shaped encouragingly on second start for this yard when third at Market Rasen (21f) 23 days ago, travelling strongly before weakening. Won from higher mark at Clonmel in 2021 but stamina remains concern.

Form: 063P5-3

Forecasts

An Marcach (13/8), No No Maestro (2/1), Shentri (3/1), Almost Gold (6/1), Lord Getaway (15/2)

NO NO MAESTRO won twice here last term and can make a winning return to Uttoxeter after a promising reapperance over hurdles last time. Shentri ran up to his best at Plumpton last time and is feared most, whilst Almost Gold is a very interesting contender on second start after a long absence.
