3.55 Uttoxeter - Tea Clipper tops competitive Trophy heat

Uttoxeter's feature, the Clarke Chase for the Sir Stanley and Lady Clarke Challenge Trophy (3.55pm), looks a cracking heat with a mix of progressive chasers tackling some older stalwarts.

Walk In Clover is only a six-year-old and has impressed in winning his last two starts over fences for Dan Skelton and Tristan Durrell.

Skelton is doubly represented as Quid Quo Pro sneaks in at the bottom of the weights for Kielan Woods. The seven-year-old has been lightly raced since joining from France and should appreciate the sound surface.

Raffle Ticket is another seeking a hat-trick for Mel Rowley having scored at Huntingdon and Worcester this year.
