Steve Mullen guides you through Sunday's racing at Uttoxeter, Windsor and Cartmel
UTTOXETER SUNDAY
1.30
INNOCENT GIRL has taken a little while to get going after a break but showed positive signs when fourth at Fontwell last time out.
She has tumbled down the weights and is more than capable of figuring at this level.
2.00
THAMES KNIGHT doesn’t have a lot of weight on his back and went close in a novice event at Worcester last time out.
That was his first run for a couple of months and there should be more to come over a trip that suits.
2.35
OFCOURSEIWILL had been knocking on the door and won really impressively at Bangor last time out.
He was in the lead for a long way there and kept pulling out more when needed. The drop back to the minimum distance shouldn’t be an issue.
ROYAL NAVY Merchant Navy clings on in photo-finish to win thrilling Diamond Jubilee Stakes
3.10
OCEAN JIVE was decent on the Flat and has taken well to hurdling. He won on debut at Huntingon before finishing in the frame in a better contest at Newton Abbot last time.
He drops back to his best trip here, which looks a smart move.
3.45
QUITE BY CHANCE is taking a big drop in class from what he’s used to.
His past two runs have been in big-field handicaps at Cheltenham, including at the Festival. He’s dropping in distance but has enough pace and this looks an open little race.

VIRGILIO has a bit of class at his best and should run well in this fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve.
He was game when winning at Aintree last time and has no problem seeing out this trip. Winter Lion looks a threat after winning at Cheltenham two starts ago.
4.55
ROYAL RUBY shaped well enough when third at Worcester last time when he saw out this distance well.
This doesn’t look any stronger and there’s no reason why he won’t go close again.
5.30
MR SNOOZY is a consistent performer who won at Hexham before following up with a solid third at Aintree last time out.
That was over this distance, which suits well, and a 2lb rise in the weights looks fair.
