Uttoxeter Race 3 - Support The Stoke City Foundation 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div 2)
TAP TAP SHAMIE (7) wears a hood for the first time having been far too keen at Carlisle four weeks ago when raw ability managed to keep him in second place. Provided the hood works can win this. ON THE BAYOU (5) now wears a tongue strap for the first time having disappointed as favourite at Exeter back in March. One to take very seriously. KINGOFTHEFRONTIER (4) makes his rules debut having won a British point to point by 5L in March. Market will be the best guide towards his chances. FINAL SURPRISE (3) goes hurdling after three efforts in jumpers flat contests. Not disgraced last time and is one to watch.

Third-up today. Resuming finished seventh of 10 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on March 21 over 3900m, 47 len behind Tommy Pickles with 73kg at $21. Second run from a spell finished ninth of 12 runners at Ffos Las on April 12 over 3200m, 34 len behind Cinquenta with 71kg at $151. Can't recommend in this.

Six-year-old gelding by Soldier Of Fortune out of A Plus Ma Puce has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Pay to watch the market moves closely.

Freshened since an encouraging debut won by 5 len North Yorkshire P2p on March 1 over 4000m defeating Helm Bar carrying 76kg in a jumps. Improvement likely on on first race start. Capable of running into the finish again.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At big odds at debut, didn't finish the race at Knockanohill P2p on March 15 over 4828m. Second-up finished 11th of 13 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on April 18 over 3300m, 108 len behind Alsakib with 67.5kg at $26. Will need to improve sharply.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, finished fifth of 7 starters at Chepstow on March 26 over 3200m, 23 len behind Just A Glance carrying 65.5kg at $7. Second-up finished sixth of 7 runners at Chepstow on April 11 over 3200m, 20 len behind Planters Punch carrying 66.5kg at $51. Promising galloper. Likely improver who can figure in the finish.
