Uttoxeter Race 2 - Carlsberg Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
BEAU QUALI (1) brings the best recent hurdles form, winning at Chepstow over ~3900m last start by 3.25L after back‑to‑back seconds at Hereford and Chepstow, and looks the one to beat despite a rise in weight. FINAL SURPRISE (2) is a key danger after scoring here at Uttoxeter over 3171m two weeks ago by 3.5L. MANALISHI (6) rates next on consistency, coming off a 2nd at Market Rasen over 4150m, beaten 2.25L. CHICKER (3) can feature back down in grade after wins at Worcester and Cheltenham earlier in the season despite unplaced efforts in stronger races since.
