N.H. racing at Plumpton and Uttoxeter

Tony McCoy, as so often, looks the jockey to follow at Uttoxeter today, with chances in 6 of the 7 races. He kicks off with Quivvy Bridge for N. Irish trainer James Lambe in the novice hurdle at 15.20, who looks the best bet of the day. Then come Brousse en Feux in the selling hurdle at 16.20 and Seven is my Business in the novice chase half an hour later, both for David Pipe. His final 3 rides are all for Jonjo O´Neill, Carey´s Road and Tarvini in the two divisions of the novice handicap hurdle at 17.20 and 18.20, and Nelson´s Spice in the handicap chase at 17.50; their chances on form look less obvious, but the opposition is in all cases very weak. Bst race at Piumpton is the 2 mile handicao hurdle at 16.30, where most of the 8 runners bring good recent form to the start. Bernatd Llewellyn has two good chances here with German-bred Olivino (Sam Twiston-Davies) and Sweet World (Isabel Tompsett), both ridden by competent claimers, while top-weight L´Eau du Nil (Andy Haynes/ Peter Toole) is clearly the best horse in the field but looks handicapped to the hilt. A more attractive bet should be Agente Romano (Evan Williams/ Paul Moloney), who has been placed on all 3 starts over hurdles and can finally get off the mark in the first division of the novice hurdle at 16.00.
