Uttoxeter results — 4 October 2026
The Uttoxeter card on Sunday produced a run of authoritative performances and a couple of dramatic moments. Gentle Ocean edged out Captain Connor in the Chloe Mediumship Novices’ Hurdle after a late battle, while Governors Rock and Larzac both made smooth winning statements in their respective maiden divisions. Handicap success went to Divilabother and Berry Edge over the smaller obstacles, Prospect House took the big chase prize in impressive fashion and Better Off Alone completed the day by making all in the concluding QuinnBet Handicap Chase. There were a number of withdrawals and non-runners across the day, but no races were abandoned.

Course notes and notable incidents
The going read GOOD (Watered: Chs 4.1, Hdl 4.6) throughout the afternoon. A number of horses were withdrawn or declared non-runners for various reasons: In The Trenches (vet’s certificate – bruised foot), Stavanger Rose (unsuitable ground), Time In A Bottle (withdrawn on veterinary advice), Scopic (colic), Shah (not eaten up), Kind Of Kiss (temperature), Wannabe Sporty (vet’s certificate – bruised foot), Sangara (no suitable jockey), Ernest Gray (vet’s advice) and Reteti (no suitable jockey). Northern Rose fell 3 out in the Yellow Bucket, an unfortunate incident that unseated connections who had been pressing near the front.
Overall it was a productive afternoon for the Twiston‑Davies yard (Gentle Ocean) and the Skelton team (Berry Edge), with strong rides from Sam Twiston‑Davies and Harry Skelton. Conditions suited the front‑running style of Better Off Alone in the finale.

Racecourse Guide
Uttoxeter has re-invented itself in recent years as one of the UK’s most progressive tracks, with the Midlands National Meeting in March attracting many top-class performers. Uttoxeter is a sharp, left handed track of just over a mile and a quarter. There is a slight incline on the far side of the track before the runners swing downhill into the four furlong home straight.
The Midlands Grand National is over four and a quarter miles, one of the longest races in the calendar. The course can favour front-runners on good or fast ground but is becomes a gruelling stamina test in soft or heavy ground. It is not unusual for only a handful of Midlands National horses to complete the course in testing conditions. The 50th renewal in 2019 was won by the mud-loving Potters Corner. Uttoxeter attracts many of the top stables, particularly for the big March meeting, and is a standing dish of the national hunt season.
The Uttoxeter Summer Cup takes place on a Sunday in late June or early July. It was formerly over four miles and run as the Summer National but the distance was reduced and the race rebranded in 2012. Other popular race days include Ladies’ Night in June and Family Fun Day towards the end of July.
