Uttoxeter Race 2 - Halso High-Speed Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
INISHCORKER (3) wears first time cheekpieces. Made the frame on four straight occasions and having enjoyed good ground before is firmly the one to beat. SOLID PERFORMER (5) was progressive as a novice hurdler. Travelled well racing up front three weeks ago before falling two hurdles from home. Worth giving another chance. LIMERICK STAR (4) responded favourably to first time cheekpieces four weeks ago. May handle this longer trip and is one to take very seriously. CRACKLING FIRE (2) received wind surgery after struggling on soft ground at Ayr last month. Will warrant interest when attempting handicaps.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished second of 9 runners at Ffos Las on March 1 over 4000m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind Uptown Dandy carrying 73kg at $1.80. Run before finished second in a small field at this track on December 31 over 4700m, 8 len behind Lon Chaney with 69.5kg at $3.20. Capable of better showing. Can return to winning form.

Useful gelding. Last outing fell at Haydock Park on March 5 over 4200m. The run before set the pace for much of the race finished second of 7 starters at Catterick on February 9 over 5100m, slow track; 0.8 len behind Hawthorn Street carrying 71.5kg at $3.80. Use the good effort back as a proper guide.

Resumes from a spell after having raced just once last campaign on from midfield; finished fifth of 12 starters at Fontwell Park on January 11 over 3800m, slow track; 8 len behind Legendary Luke with 71kg at $67. When resuming last campaign on from midfield; finished third of 8 starters at Carlisle on October 16 over 3400m, 1.75 len behind Nobotheratall carrying 70.5kg at $3.10. Returns in tougher company and happy enough to watch this time.
