The Changing Man

Uttoxeter 3:35 (UK time)

A negative ride from well off the pace was a valid excuse for this quirky handicappers latest disappointing effort at Exeter in January behind Top of the Bill, and he looks worth chancing back on deep ground at Uttoxeter on Saturday. Brendan Powell is likely to be a lot more positive this time, and there should still be more improvement in the tank after just four career starts over fences.

Monviel

Uttoxeter 1:50 (UK time)

Harry Derham’s handicapper remains open to loads of improvement for this yard after just three runs this winter, and he showed a lot more promise in mid-division at Ascot last time out in stronger company. He is now very well treated on the pick of his form for Phillip Hobbs, and will relish the testing ground conditions at Uttoxeter.

Odds: 9.00

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday March 16th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:35	Kempton	Beau Balko	Paul Nicholls young chaser has improved run to run over fences this season, and can defy the handicapper at Kempton on Saturday (with drying ground conditions very much in his favour under the championship chasing Harry Cobden). He is a smooth traveller with a turn of foot, and can swoop after the last against some opposable looking rivals.
1:50	Uttoxeter	Monviel	Harry Derham’s handicapper remains open to loads of improvement for this yard after just three runs this winter, and he showed a lot more promise in mid-division at Ascot last time out in stronger company. He is now very well treated on the pick of his form for Phillip Hobbs, and will relish the testing ground conditions at Uttoxeter.
2:10	Kempton	Classic Anthem	Jim Boyle’s handicapper had beeb progressing nicely until struggling up the Sandown hill last time out, and a return to this flatter track should suit ideally under regular rider Robbie Dunne. He remains with upside in handicaps, and this strongly run race should set things up nicely for him to pounce late on.
2:25	Uttoxeter	Loup de Maulde	Robbie Llewellyn has enjoyed a terrific season, and his consistent stayer should now be spot-on fitness-wise after two runs so far this winter at Ascot and Huntingdon. He has shaped better than the bare result on each occasion, and the deep ground conditions likely here should be no issue at all under the handy 3lb claimer Toby Wynne.
2:45	Kempton	Flegmatik	Dan Skelton comes here on a high after a cracking double at the Festival on Wednesday, and his horses remain in cracking heart as we head towards the busy spring period. His consistent Kempton specialist has optimum conditions back at the Sunbury venue, and he can see off these rivals under regular rider Harry Skelton.
3:00	Uttoxeter	My Silver Lining	Emma Lavelle’s likeable stayer has been a model of consistency this season, and this marathon 4m2f slog in the mud promises to unlock further improvement. She posted a career best effort on the figures when a cracking second last time out, and seems sure to give his running again under regular rider James Best.
3:35	Uttoxeter	The Changing Man	A negative ride from well off the pace was a valid excuse for this quirky handicappers latest disappointing effort at Exeter in January behind Top of the Bill, and he looks worth chancing back on deep ground at Uttoxeter on Saturday. Brendan Powell is likely to be a lot more positive this time, and there should still be more improvement in the tank after just four career starts over fences.
