Uttoxeter Race 2 - Connor Hagans Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
DOCTOR KILDARE (2) finished second to a promising subsequent winner at Doncaster four weeks ago and could be good enough to take this. LA HIGUERA (3) wasn't disgraced when fifth making hurdle debut at Fontwell in October. May prove the main threat if jumping with more fluency. Jumpers flat winner STONE'S THROW (4) holds claims on the pick of his hurdling form and might do better now up further in trip. BARRY FIFE (1) heads the remainder.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 38 days. Last outing finished sixth of 8 runners at Ludlow on February 19 over 4200m, 39 len behind Whatsupwithyou with 73kg at $9.50. Race before finished fourth of 12 starters at Taunton on January 18 over 3800m, 31 len behind Just A Rose with 72.5kg at $3.80. Forward showing expected. Nicely placed and cannot be underestimated.

Racing second-up. First race start finished 13th of 16 starters at Ludlow on April 24 over 3200m, 24 len behind Hell Hound carrying 67.5kg at $17. Returned from break pulled up at Taunton on February 4 over 3800m. Might find this a bit too tough.
