Uttoxeter Race 5

Excloosive Event Hire Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Prize Money: $21,586

WILLIE SHAKE HANDS (3) is racing consistently with one win and four placed efforts past five outings including placing second at Hexham last time. Leading contender. ANYHARMINASKING (1) makes chasing debut after disappointing finishing downfield contesting the Swinton Premier Handicap Hurdle at Haydock Park last month. Interesting. GALE MAHLER (2) is a previous G2 hurdle winner. Ran third on first fences start at Cartmel. Deserves a second chance. HE'S A DIAMOND (4) might fill fourth spot.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last outing finished second in a small field at Hexham on May 20 over 3100m, 3 len behind Dream Jet with 77kg at $2.90. Before that favourite; won by 1.5 len Hexham on May 10 over 3130m defeating Scots Poet carrying 70.5kg at $5 in a steeplechase. Promising galloper. Great chance to score in this small line-up.
