Forecasts

Mexico (11/4), Sporting Ace (3/1), Top Target (10/3), The Newest One (4/1), Mr Vango (13/2), Good Friday Fairy (66/1)

14:45 Uttoxeter - 1 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

THE NEWEST ONE arrives in good nick and rates the pick on form so can gain a deserved first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Mexico who has his sights lowered here and can get back on track. Top Target and Mr Vango need considering too in a useful novice.
