Uttoxeter Race 5 - Alfie Flatt 18th Birthday Celebration Hcp Chase (Gbb Race)

THEONLYWAYISWESSEX (1) notched up his third fences triumph in dominant fashion at Warwick beginning of June. Stable could do with a winner. Not taken lightly. PEP TALKING (2) maintains a consistent profile but often finds himself encountering a rival who is better treated. Could be a similar story here but still not dismissed. LE GENTLEMAN (4) found success in style at Bangor-On-Dee end of May and held form last time revisiting that venue. Warrants thought as only beaten 0.5L and should give a bold sight. UKANTANGO (3) weakened tamely last time and freshened subsequently. Market check advised.
