Uttoxeter Race 2 - Quinnbet Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
TARANIS DUBH (1) has made steady progress on all three starts under rules and shapes as though this step up in trip should suit following a Worcester triumph three weeks ago. Hard to oppose despite the penalty. ST GABRIEL (5) provided a pleasing debut in May at Haydock Park when winning a jumpers flat event on good ground. Scored by 3L and will have been well schooled. Interesting. AFFINITIVE (3) goes hurdling after offering much more at Bangor-on-Dee delivering second start in the spring. Better expected. SEVEN KITES (4) won a point to point and drops in trip wearing a first time visor. Market will be the best guide.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after five months to post a big 3.5 len win. Worcester on October 7 over 3200m defeating Sheezer Dancer carrying 71.5kg at $1.70 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished second of 8 runners at Warwick on May 9 over 3200m, 2.25 len behind Sky Grove carrying 72kg at $2.10. Strips fitter and is again a top chance.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after seven months finished fourth of 7 runners at Chepstow on October 9 over 4700m, 30 len behind Locker Boum carrying 68kg at $3. Previously second-up finished second of 7 runners at Chepstow on April 2 over 4700m, 7 len behind Tobyshill with 67.5kg at $2.90. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
