5:03 Uttoxeter Tips

Ask A Sainte was left with too much to do here last time when fourth and remains a maiden. This looks like a winnable handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter.

This course-and-distance winner holds an astronomical mathematical advantage over his current handicap mark, finding himself significantly clear of this field on raw ability. The race shape plays directly into his hands, with a severe lack of alternative front-runners predicting a very slowly run affair. As a horse who thrives when dictating from the front, he is perfectly positioned to grab an uncontested lead and control the rhythm from the start. The booking of a highly capable conditional rider who knows him intimately clinches this as the strongest value play on the card.
