[Woodysway]

Uttoxeter  4.40  Junction Fourteen  win  SP

[Trotter]

4.25 Carl - By The Boardwalk - win at 7/4 bog wm hill

Handicap chase

My selection is very much a chaser on the upgrade having won 3 of his last 4 outings and would probably have won the other one if he hadn't have fallen

They gave him a break after that spill and he appears to have gotten over it as he reappeared with an effortless 9L win at Ayr

Up 34lbs since his winning run began but I don't think the handicapper has got him yet

Best RH, has won on stiff tracks, good going and class 3

Second favourite, Enchanted Garden, looks a doubtful stayer to me and is stepping up in trip on a stiff track

Loose Chips comes here after a break and usually needs a run to put him straight

Straidnahanna could be the main danger as he doesn't look badly weighted on his novice form but he also returns from a break having been well beaten on previous seasonal debuts and he might be best going LH on soft ground

I'd be surprised if my horse doesn't go off much shorter than the currently available 7/4
