Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Bleu d'Enfer heads our figures at 123 and looks the right one to side with in this five-runner Class 4 over two miles at Uttoxeter on good ground. The biggest threat is Mister Cessna, who matches him on 123, so there is little between them on our numbers, while Rula Bula is only four pounds back on 119 and must be respected. Sweeper System, on 102, looks to have a lot to find with the principals, and Bobbi's Beauty on 99 is the least likely to figure. Bleu d'Enfer gets the nod in a tight contest at the top.

Bleu d'Enfer was a second last time out and also filled the runner-up spot four starts back, while having run over today's trip and going before, so he looks the one to beat on our figures (rated 123, top of five). He is winless in his last five and carries 168 lb, but a 31-day break should suit.

Rula Bula won four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, though she's been fifth, seventh, then fifth since, and her rating of 119 ranks her third of five, so she's a leading danger carrying 167 lb. The main risk is a 176-day layoff.

Martin Keighley 2/15
Bobbi's Beauty won last time out and was second in two of the four runs before that, but a 206-day absence is a concern, and she carries 156 lb off an official mark of 108. Our figures rank her last of five, and she has run over today's trip and going.

Sam Allwood 1/4
Sweeper System arrives in good heart after a third last time out, and a winner two starts back, with experience of today's trip and going, and he carries 154 lb. The main concern is a 195-day absence, so fitness is the question.
