3:50 Uttoxeter Tips

Colegram was a winner of two Irish points earlier this year before joining Dan Skelton's stable and she has since run in two mares hurdles finishing 3rd in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot and then winning a maiden hurdle at Bangor on Dee in decisive fashion. She may not have beaten much but her mark of 107 gives her a decent chance.

Won at Taunton in March. Third over course and distance a month later. Can run well fresh, so is not without an each-way chance here today.

Baltray is an 8yo by Milan who's won and placed in Class 4 handicaps over this trip and he's clearly effective on this ground. He tired in a more strongly run race LTO, but that came after a short break, and he's been running competitively enough in this grade, with a couple of places from similar marks for me to back him.

Twice a winner over hurdles but has not been seen on the track since October 2024. No surprise to see going well on return to action and holds an each way chance

Victoria Milano has been 2nd and 3rd on two starts at this track over shorter trips. Her best effort for some time, though, came on her first try over today's 2m7f trip at Bangor in May. A form line through Camshaft puts her well in front of Belladonotte at today's weights. She went from the front last time at Cartmel and was lit up early, going a bit too hard, and was not given a hard time when beaten. She returns to a more conventional track, and connections would have learned how to get the best from her at this staying trip now. Jack Tudor, who has ridden her for both her wins when virtually making all, takes over in the saddle and, by making it a real test without going too hard, she should prove hard to pass at 22 lb below her last winning mark. A fair few bookies are offering 5 places at 16/1.
