We do hope you enjoy your Christmas celebrations with us here today. On your way in, you should have already seen the big man himself. Santa is here today helping out Uttoxeter Rotary Club who will be collecting on behalf of some local charities. This is a great cause so please spare some change to them if you can Former WBO Cruiserweight Champion Johnny Nelson MBE will be with us today roaming around for a meet and greet with the public. Johnny Nelson MBE has an undeniably impressive record of forty-five wins from fifty-nine bouts; Johnny Nelson MBE was named the second Greatest Cruiserweight of All Time by BoxRec. Most remembered for his seven-year reign as WBO Cruiserweight Champion, he is the longest-reigning cruiserweight of all time. After racing, join us in the Premier bar where we will have a DJ playing for an hour after the last race. Our next fixture is on New Years Eve. Tickets are selling extremely well and its sure to be sold out once again so please book early to avoid disappointment. We have some great events lined up for you in 2026. We kick off 2026 with our popular Winter Ladies Day on Jan 24th.

BUTLER’S BRIEF Our New Ambassador Horse – Visiting today!
Known at home as Butty, Butler’s Brief is a 10-year-old dark bay gelding by Yeats and an eight-time hurdle winner, including two victories at Uttoxeter. In 2022, he became stuck in an open ditch at Uttoxeter, walking away unscathed and returning a month later to win at the same course, showing his courage and character. Now enjoying life after racing through Pony Club activities and Arena Eventing, with plans for showjumping, he is a superfriendly horse who loves a carrot and a fuss. Butler’s Brief will be in the Parade Ring 30 minutes before the first race. For more information about Retraining of Racehorses, please visit www.ror.org.uk.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): O Murphy (56 wins from 256 runners, 22%) runs LARGY FORCE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (13 wins from 71 runners, 18%) runs GET UP MUSH LONGEST TRAVELLER: IL VA DE SOI trained by H Derham, Newbury, 127 miles.
RACE SUMMARY
Judged on her reappearance second starting out for this yard at Warwick, LARGY FORCE looks nailed on to shed her maiden tag under Rules sooner rather than later, and it may well be in this handicap chase that she achieves that feat. If Get Up Mush is able to pick up where he left off 15 months ago he’ll be a serious threat, while Il Va de Soi brings potential to the table and Politacus needs a second look on her chase debut.

RACE SUMMARY
This can go the way of MINELLA JURY who built on earlier promise for John Nallen when landing a Wexford bumper and can now make a winning start for new connections staring out in this sphere. Pertemps could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his Aintree debut. Stung By Tariffs and Titanium Ring appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

A full range of bets available on all UK and Irish racing An interesting race for the grade, with plenty of pace likely. The returning LET IT RAIN appeals most, his bumper/hurdle form has plenty of substance and he’s likely to prove better than his opening mark. Dance and Glance has been shaping well in higher PLAY SMARTER grades and will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina here, while strongtravelling Walkadina can be seen to better effect in a big-field 2m handicap.

RACE SUMMARY
DRAYTON FLYER took a step forward starting off in handicaps when runner-up at this course on return, bumping into one who was proving better than ever, and he can build on that effort upped in trip. He is taken to get the better of Heart Over Head, who also showed improved form on his handicap debut, with Bobalot another who could be in the mix.

RACE SUMMARY
It could pay to side with handicap debutant I AIN’T YOUR MATE, who left the impression that he’s starting to get the hang of things when fourth at Wincanton on his final run of last season and this stiffer test will be right up his street. Cases can be made for An Buachaill Rua, Following Chapter and The Last Drop, while it’s hard to rule out Getaway With You, who arrives here on the crest of a wave.
