We will be doubly represented at Uttoxeter on Tuesday, where he going is currently described as good.
Mandega is first up at 4.33.pm, in division 1 of the novices hurdle, over the extended one mile and seven furlongs, where he will be partnered by Emma Smith-Chaston. Mandega was last seen when not having the race run to suit on the flat at Nottingham 12 days ago, and he is better judged on his penultimate start at Cartmel, when finishing a solid runner up over hurdles.
Our other runner is Contre Ordre who goes to post at 6.35.pm, in the 0-100 handicap chase, over two miles, where he will be partnered by Brian Hughes. Contre Ordre was a respectable third when last seen at Cartmel 41 days ago, and is now looking well handicapped, being 6lb below his last winning mark. The big question mark is the ground, as nearly all of his form is on a softer surface.

Mandega.
