Races & Results Thursday 8th June 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Ajp Kingdom 0.18/1, Has been well placed to win maiden and novice hurdle in recent weeks, making all to see off a shaky veteran far better known as a chaser at Worcester (23f) last time. The hat-trick beckons. Unbeaten in three races on good ground, a bumper and two hurdles; can defy his penalties.

2nd (4) (9/1 +25%) Rostello
9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Rostello 9/1, Unreliable type who capitalised on the drop in grade when making all over fences at Southwell (extended 3m) in March. Jumping has let him down since (including back over hurdles at Hexham latest) but he clearly has the ability to win this. Inconsistent and made it 0-9 over hurdles with a weak finish in novice company at Hexham.

3rd (2) (6/1 -118%) Nearly Perfect
6
6/1(-118%)
(2) Nearly Perfect 6/1, Three-time winner in staying chases but seems to have lost his way. Down in grade/trip for first run over hurdles in 4 years. Blinkers also given a whirl. All his good form is on softer ground and this his first run over hurdles in three years.

|F| (3) (50/1 -52%) Nitwit
50
50/1(-52%)
(3) Nitwit 50/1, €105,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Oscar Elite. No show in bumper/novice hurdle. Steps up in trip. Has shown pretty much nothing in a bumper and 2m3f novice hurdle; up in distance.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AJP KINGDOM has won his last two starts unchallenged and is very hard to oppose in what appears to be a straightforward task in his bid to register a three-timer. He stays, has proven fitness and has the highest official rating. Nearly Perfect and Nitwit have something to prove after both failing to complete in their latest outings, so it might be down to Rostello to provide the selection with the most to think about.
Another good opening for AJP KINGDOM and he can get the hat-trick up. Rostello is a risky betting proposition given his sketchy jumping but he might get away with mistakes in this and is preferred to Nearly Perfect for the forecast.
It's extremely difficult to get away from AJP KINGDOM who is the only one in any sort of form at present.
14:10 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Yccs Portocervo 3.5/1, Finally took advantage of a much-reduced mark returning from 7 months off over C&D last month. Yard remains in good form so can go well again. Struggles for form elsewhere but has figures of 1121 at this track, latterly by 4l; up 6lb.
2
1
2nd (1) (3.6/1 +55%) Corran Cross
3.6
3.6/1(+55%)
(1) Corran Cross 3.6/1, Hit the target off a similar mark at Haydock last spring but not so good since. On a decent mark if putting his best foot forward but he's risky at the minute.
3
4
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) Dr Sanderson
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(4) Dr Sanderson 2.5/1, Disappointed over hurdles but has been given a big chance by the handicapper and interesting runner back over fences for in-form yard. This a belated return to chasing but well handicapped and there's a lot in his favour.
4
3
4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Haut Morvan
12
12/1(+0%)
(3) Haut Morvan 12/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles in France. Didn't show much after 20 months off at Uttoxeter on yard debut but this should reveal more. Chase debut. Hurdle winner in France; tailed off on debut for this yard; goes chasing after wind op.
5th
6
5th (6) (3/1 +14%) Getthepot
3
3/1(+14%)
(6) Getthepot 3/1, None the worse for his Worcester fall and resumed winning ways in 23.6f Huntingdon novice handicap, making all with just 2 of his rivals completing. However, lost the plot at Fakenham next time and off since (7 months). Absent since October but on a fair mark if resuming on good order.

|PU| (5) (12/1 -85%) Pens Man
12
12/1(-85%)
(5) Pens Man 12/1, Notched third success over fences Southwell last summer. Up and down since but might have needed latest run after 7 months off. Could be all the sharper for his reappearance at Market Rasen, though he'll need to be.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
YCCS PORTOCERVO was a comfortable winner over C&D and is hard to oppose, despite the imposition of a 6lb higher mark. The eight-year-old has been quite consistent over fences and given this doesn't look any tougher, he has a live chance of notching back-to-back victories for the first time in his career. Pens Man ought to be sharper after his spin around Market Rasen last month, while Dr Sanderson is well handicapped and also dangerous to ignore.
DR SANDERSON's recent hurdles form is clearly a concern, but he has been given a big chance by the handicapper and is an interesting runner back over fences for an in-form yard. Yccs Portocervo remains well treated on old form after his win over C&D last month so is the obvious threat.
Courtesy of a drab run of form over hurdles, Ben Haslam's DR SANDERSON is back on a dangerous mark for this return to chasing.
(7) Green Or Black 14/1, It's now twenty two runs since her last win in 2019 and she didn't offer much on first start back with this yard (after a long absence) at Fontwell 3 weeks ago. Something to prove. Back under rules, she dropped right out in 2m1f handicap hurdle on good ground at Fontwell.
2
2
2nd (2) (5/1 +50%) Lucky Draw
5
5/1(+50%)
(2) Lucky Draw 5/1, Modest on the Flat and similar form over hurdles. Better than the result (left with plenty to do) at Exeter 48 days ago and it's still early days for her in this sphere. Well held on handicap debut and doesn't look particularly well treated off 4lb lower.
3
1
3rd (1) (1.88/1 +32%) Rose Of Siena
1.88
1.88/1(+32%)
(1) Rose Of Siena 1.88/1, Placed twice in bumpers and comfortably best effort to date over hurdles when third at Perth 3 weeks ago. Another step forward seems likely, so she makes plenty of appeal. Ran well on her return from two months off (and wind surgery) at Perth; stable in form.
4
5
4th (5) (7.5/1 -125%) Noonie
7.5
7.5/1(-125%)
(5) Noonie 7.5/1, Fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Ed Bethell. Had wind op before pulled up in novice hurdle at Doncaster but much more like it last two starts. Has scope for better still now attentions are turned to handicapping. Beaten 10l in two completed starts, showing enough to be of interest now handicapping.
5th
6
5th (6) (11/1 +45%) Rhyme Scheme
11
11/1(+45%)
(6) Rhyme Scheme 11/1, Regressive on the Flat and has yet to better modest form over hurdles. Fell at Southwell last time and others make more appeal. 0-7 over hurdles and she was on the retreat when departing last time.
6th
3
6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Toughasoldboots
5
5/1(-25%)
(3) Toughasoldboots 5/1, Doubled her tally returned to hurdling at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March but was disappointing at Newcastle 23 days ago. Drops back in trip and it's too soon to write her off. Fair shout if shrugging aside a disappointing effort at Newcastle.
8
8
|PU| (8) (5/1 +50%) Ruby's Pearl
5
5/1(+50%)
(8) Ruby's Pearl 5/1, Only poor form shown thus far and no impact at Southwell last time. Needs to up her game if she's to make any sort of impression. Seven-race maiden who has been beaten 22l and 18l in her two handicaps.
4
4
|PU| (4) (28/1 -331%) Shipton Moyne
28
28/1(-331%)
(4) Shipton Moyne 28/1, Poor form on the Flat but sprung a 20/1 surprise on her Market Rasen hurdle debut last summer. Failed to back it up at Stratford next time and was down the field on the level recently. Others make more appeal. Poor Flat performer but respected on the strength of last summer's juvenile hurdle win.
9

|PU| (9) (50/1 -52%) Rocco Molly
50
50/1(-52%)
(9) Rocco Molly 50/1, Well held in a bumper/over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Kelso last month after a breathing operation. Hard to fancy. Hampered mid-race on handicap debut but ended up tailed off at triple-digit odds.
LTO Selection:
15:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NOONIE has shown some ability since switching codes and considering she is open to any amount of progression now she knows more about what is required from her, she looks worth siding with as she steps into handicap company off a competitive mark. As is the case with the selection, Rose Of Siena has scope and warrants consideration, while Toughasoldboots has a touch more experience to call upon and is feared given she is only 2lb above her last winning figure.
ROSE OF SIENA took a step forward on handicap debut at Perth 3 weeks ago and there's reason to think she can do better still, so she's preferred to Noonie, who makes her handicap debut from a potentially lenient mark based on Flat form. Toughasoldboots is another one to consider.
Nicky Richards has his string in great order right now and ROSE OF SIENA ran a pleasing race at Perth following wind surgery.
(5) Talkingthetalk 12/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when third in a Wexford maiden on final run for Leonard Whitmore last summer. Hasn't shown much for present yard though, including when pulled up over fences at Ffos Las (19.4f) 12 days ago, dropping away end of back straight. Maiden who has shown no worthwhile form in six runs for this yard, including chase debut..
2
4
2nd (4) (1/1 +56%) Annie Nail
1
1/1(+56%)
(4) Annie Nail 1/1, Got the better of a dual subsequent winner when opening chase account at Fontwell (19.5f) this time last year. Similar form both starts thereafter and likely she'll strip fitter for May return at aforementioned venue. One to consider. Winning chaser; ran as though the race would bring her on three weeks ago..
3
1
3rd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Cotton End
3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(1) Cotton End 3.33/1, Multiple hurdles winner who turned in her most convincing effort over fences when 3 lengths third in 7-runner handicap at Ludlow in March. However, not in same form over fences/hurdles either outing the following month. Needs to bounce back but this is hardly a deep race. Better hurdler than chaser but still looks a contender in this modest a contest..
4
3
4th (3) (2.5/1 +38%) Stamina Chope
2.5
2.5/1(+38%)
(3) Stamina Chope 2.5/1, Landed a small-field mares' handicap chase 14 months ago and arrives here having run creditably on 2 of her last 3 starts, staying on for fourth at Huntingdon (19.8f) 16 days ago. Not out of things from career-low mark. While she ran quite well at Huntingdon 16 days ago (2m4f, good), she reportedly bled..
LTO Selection:
15:45 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Presenting Belle hasn't been seen to best effect over hurdles recently, but she might take a step forward on her fencing bow. Stamina Chope is now 6lb below her sole winning mark and can't be dismissed following a creditable fourth at Huntingdon, but it could pay to side with ANNIE NAIL. Alexandra Dunn's mare bolted up in a small field, from 5lb lower, at Fontwell last June, so a similar scenario could help her regain the winning thread.
Off the mark over fences at Fontwell this time last year, ANNIE NAIL didn't go without encouragement after 10 months off at that venue in May and, entitled to be sharper with that under her belt, she's fancied to make her presence felt from a 2 lb lower mark. Stamina Chope and Cotton End head up the dangers, whilst the betting may prove useful in assessing Presenting Belle on her chase debut.
All five come with risks. COTTON END has yet to approach her best hurdling form over fences but this looks easier.
(6) Copper Beach 6.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who posted a respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up with this stiffer test of stamina a plus. If last season was anything to go by, he should leave his reappearance run behind..
2
2
2nd (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Surtitle
3.5
3.5/1(-17%)
(2) Surtitle 3.5/1, Capitalised on a falling mark after 7 weeks off when landing 11-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 28 days ago. Player despite taking a 5 lb rise. Led on the line in a weakish handicap at Huntingdon; 5lb rise spells danger..
3
1
3rd (1) (5.5/1 -57%) Rattle Owl
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(1) Rattle Owl 5.5/1, Dual winner of novice events in 2021. Only twice raced since and not disgraced when seventh of nine at Hexham (2m4f) 16 days ago. Merits consideration off a handy-looking mark. Encouraging runs after an absence and they were both in Class 3s..
4
5
4th (5) (7.5/1 +32%) Cluain Aodha
7.5
7.5/1(+32%)
(5) Cluain Aodha 7.5/1, Got off the mark at Warwick in March but she looked a hard ride when only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Warwick winner in March but has made no further progress; jumped poorly latest..
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 -14%) Halligator
4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Halligator 4/1, Lightly-raced course winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. One for the shortlist. Good first run in a handicap and can put a line through latest run when upped to 3m..
3
3
|PU| (3) (2.25/1 +36%) The Plimsoll Line
2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(3) The Plimsoll Line 2.25/1, Arrives in good nick, second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Can go well again. Clear of the rest when chasing home a prolific all-the-way winner at Newton Abbot..
LTO Selection:
16:20 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THE PLIMSOLL LINE bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Newton Abbot last month. Jeremy Scott's charge is able to compete from an unchanged mark here and is fancied to go one better. Surtitle left it late to get up at Huntingdon and must enter calculations from a 5lb higher mark, while Copper Beach appeals most of the remainder.
A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for SURTITLE who scored at Huntingdon last time and can defy a 5 lb rise with few miles still on the clock. Copper Beach is next on the list now his stamina is drawn out more, while Rattle Owl can have a say too off an attractive mark.
The one who appeals most is COPPER BEACH who might just be the best handicapped of these if improving for today's step up in trip.
(7) Hollow Ron 1.62/1, Won sole start in points but little impact in a trio of novice hurdles last year. However, has shown more in handicaps on his last 2 starts, off a further 8 weeks before finishing fourth at Ludlow (21.2f) last month. Can open his account under Rules upped in trip. Won sole point last May; minor hurdle form so far, including in 2 handicaps; up in trip.
2
5
2nd (5) (2.5/1 +25%) Merveillo
2.5
2.5/1(+25%)
(5) Merveillo 2.5/1, Useful on the Flat and shaped better than the distance beaten when third on debut in this sphere at Haydock (24.3f) in November. Hasn't gone on as hoped since then, but he's dropped further in the weights and now goes back up in trip with cheekpieces on first time. Modest handicap hurdle form but all 3 Flat wins in blinkers so fitting cheekpieces a plus.
3
3
3rd (3) (4/1 +43%) For Jim
4
4/1(+43%)
(3) For Jim 4/1, With visor reapplied, got back to winning ways at this C&D last July. However, his form has gone the wrong way since, pulled up on his last 2 outings (over fences on first occasion). Now 8 lb below his last winning mark if the return of the visor can spark a revival. Pulled up last 2 starts but latest was after a break; 8lb lower than C&D win last July.
4
2
4th (2) (6/1 -33%) Drop Him In
6
6/1(-33%)
(2) Drop Him In 6/1, Having dropped a long way in the weights, finally off the mark in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) in March. Below-par effort back in cheekpieces last time, but he remains on a workable reverted to hurdling with the headgear discarded. Chase winner in March (2m7f); modest effort latest but 10lb lower than latest hurdle run.
6
6
|PU| (6) (14/1 -87%) Absolutely Dylan
14
14/1(-87%)
(6) Absolutely Dylan 14/1, On a long losing run and produced a laboured effort after 15-month absence in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) in November. Fared no better at Catterick (25.2f) in January, but he lurks on a dangerous mark now returned to hurdling. On a very low mark but shown little since back from absence; first hurdle run for 5 years.
1
1
|PU| (1) (22/1 +0%) Another Brown Bear
22
22/1(+0%)
(1) Another Brown Bear 22/1, Fair form when runner-up in introductory hurdle at Ludlow in November 2021, but disappointing otherwise under Rules. Offered little after 6 months off (had wind op) at this C&D 11 days ago, so he has enough to prove with hood/tongue strap now reached for. Pulled up in both staying handicaps for this yard, over fences and hurdles; due 4lb drop.
LTO Selection:
16:55 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HOLLOW RON was outpaced over 2m5f at Ludlow before keeping on to finish fourth. The step up in trip is likely to benefit him in a contest that lacks any kind of depth on paper. Drop Him In switches back to the smaller obstacles and is 10lb lower than his latest effort in this sphere when third at Lingfield in November. Others to note are Merveillo, who sports cheekpieces, and Millie Of Mayo.
A winner in points, HOLLOW RON has shown more sent handicapping under Rules when making the frame on his last 2 starts, so he could still have more to offer as he now goes up in trip. The 5-y-o is taken to get the better of Merveillo, who has dropped to a dangerous mark with cheekpieces on for the first time. Drop Him In is the pick of the remainder.
Fitting cheekpieces could be a fillip for MERVEILLO whose three Flat wins in France all came in blinkers and he is not overfaced today
(5) Shalott 1.88/1, Back on track when third in a Warwick maiden last April and, equipped with a first-time tongue strap (retained), he backed that up when again third on handicap debut over this C&D a month later. Subsequent absence naturally a concern but will be a threat if fully tuned-up. 0-9; has races in him but is entitled to need this after so long off..
2
1
2nd (1) (1.38/1 +61%) Izayte
1.38
1.38/1(+61%)
(1) Izayte 1.38/1, Justified strong support when opening hurdles account in a Warwick handicap (2m, good to soft) last month. Always fighting a losing battle after being badly hampered early on over the same C&D since and he's worth another chance. Won at Warwick in May but needs to bounce back from a flat run there only 15 days ago..
3
3
3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Uggy Uggy Uggy
4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Uggy Uggy Uggy 4/1, Down the field sole bumper start but clear signs of ability in maiden hurdles at Chepstow and Huntingdon (both at around 2m). Hood enlisted for this handicap debut and he's one to be interested in. Promise in two maiden hurdles and appeals as the type to pay his way in handicaps..
4
2
4th (2) (8/1 +20%) Treasured Company
8
8/1(+20%)
(2) Treasured Company 8/1, Successful twice over C&D and at Sedgefield during the second half of 2021. However, he didn't show much in 2 appearances last year and it's hard to know what to expect of him back from 11 months off here. Offered little in just the two runs last year and now returns from another absence..
6
6
|PU| (6) (66/1 -200%) Keeper
66
66/1(-200%)
(6) Keeper 66/1, Fair form on the Flat for Roger Charlton in 2021 but has offered little for new yard on the level and over hurdles. Has undergone a second wind op since latest start in March and needs to raise his game on handicap debut in this sphere. Bit to prove on several counts on just his second run for this yard..
LTO Selection:
17:25 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
UGGY UGGY UGGY has shown ability on both starts to date over hurdles and the five-year-old improved from his jumping debut when fourth at Huntingdon, despite racing keenly. He wears a hood for the first time, which is likely to aid his cause, and gets the vote at the main expense of Lightening Company, who is a useful performer on the Flat and won a decent handicap at Pontefract two starts ago. Shalott rounds out the shortlist.
The vote goes to LIGHTENING COMPANY, who has recent winning form on the Flat to his name and may well step up on his previous hurdles efforts now pitched into a handicap for the first time in this sphere. Shalott's wellbeing needs taking on trust following a 13-month absence but he will be a serious player if ready to roll, while Uggy Uggy Uggy is also of interest now handicapping in first-time headgear.
Given his Flat win this spring, this initial mark should be manageable for handicap debutant LIGHTENING COMPANY (nap).

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
