Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Eustace Grenier is our selection at Uttoxeter, and he looks the one to side with over this 20-furlong trip on good ground. He rates only four pounds behind the top-rated Loustic du Chatel, and a fitness edge plus the more solid book of form make that gap well worth overlooking. Loustic du Chatel is the obvious danger on figures, while Gentleman Bill and Sir Hobnob are both within a couple of pounds of him and can't be dismissed in a competitive 15-runner field. Still, Eustace Grenier's consistency gives him the narrowest of preferences, and he is the pick.

Gentleman Bill has run over today's trip and going, and a fourth last time out, with our rating of 121 ranking him second of 15, makes him a leading threat off 168 lb. The risk is a 190-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Fine Thing has solid recent form, with a third last time out and a win three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going, but 166 lb is a hefty burden. Our rating of 106 sits below her official 113 and ranks her 13th of 15, which makes her hard to fancy.

Springs A Girl is yet to win in her last five, though a second three starts back and a fifth two starts back show some ability, and she has run over today's trip and going. Fell last time out, and 191 days off with 166 lb on her back is a stiff ask.

Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 2/22
Las Canals arrives a two-time winner in his last four starts, taking his last two, and has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, 195 days off is a long layoff and he carries 166 lb, so the midfield rating of fifth of 15 looks fair.

Consistent sort who has finished third, fourth, third and fourth in four of his last five, with a fifth last time out, and he returns fresh enough after 23 days and has run on today's going before. Carrying 162 lb is the one reservation, but our rating of 119 backs him.

Without a win in his last five, Can You Hear Me was second last time out 218 days ago, but that comes after a ninth and sixth before it. He has run over today's trip and going, yet 159 lb and a 12th-of-15 ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy.
