Uttoxeter’s 32Red Casino Handicap Hurdle to go the way of Be My Light
In Monday’s 32Red Casino Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter, eight horses have entered for a handy prize of £2,599. According to the betting forecast, Always Bold is carrying the best price. The 7-year-old won over 3m3f last time, thus this trip looks short enough.
The Martin Keighley-trained surely has a big role to play, but this may go the way of Be My Light. The 6-year-old did a wonderful job in the visor under very similar conditions at Royal Ascot, where she finished fourth on the table. Today’s event is less
competitive and therefore, one can expect her to come up with significant improvement.
Charlie Longsdon’s charge made her seasonal comeback here in October, when finishing third on the chart. She failed to raise the standards, and ended up fourth at Towcester. Although the daughter of Oscar could not produce a positive result, her performance
at Ascot was quite good.
In the Movember Mares' Handicap Hurdle, she finished fourth in the field of 15, missing the podium only a short head’s distance. In the hands of Kielan Woods, the 14-1 chance was prominent in the beginning.
She lost place soon after 3 out, and railed before next. The mare stayed on flat, and nearly snatched third in the dying moments. Having shown plenty of fight, the Foxtrot NH Racing Partnership IV-owned is fully determined, and could trouble the big guns
in today’s contest.
The class-4 contest, which will be held over a distance of two miles, four furlongs and 110 yards, is going to be very exciting. The going is heavy for the thrilling battle, which is scheduled to begin at 14:10 GMT.
The trip and ground looks right for Lovely Muck, who is all set for the handicap debut. Lightly raced in the recent seasons, Fred Kennet is h**l-bent to make an impact in a hood. Award Winner took back-to-back wins in October, but lost the direction afterwards.
Perfect Reward has been struggling for the new yard since returning from absence. South O’the Border is basically on the decline. Therefore, it will not be a good move to take a chance on Sophie Leech’s charge.
