12:05 Warwick Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 1st (7) (1/1 +33%) Lavender Hill Mob	1 1/1(+33%)	(7) Lavender Hill Mob 1/1, Useful Flat performer and hopes were high for him over hurdles but he's run to just a fair level in 2 starts, taking a keen hold in first-time cheekpieces when well held at Cheltenham 37 days ago. May yet have more to offer. Has the highest Flat rating in this field and brings the best hurdles form to boot.
8 2nd (8) (17/2 +23%) Midnight Rumble	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(8) Midnight Rumble 17/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), successful once in 2024. In good hands for this discipline but he could only run to a barely fair level when sixth of 7 in a Kempton juvenile hurdle (2m) 24 days ago. Only sixth of seven at Kempton but should do better; likely player on Flat form.
2 3rd (2) (10/3 -52%) Aviemore	3.333333 10/3(-52%)	(2) Aviemore 10/3, Useful on Flat (stays 1½m), successful twice at 10f for Charlie Johnston during 2024. Joined very good NH yard for 30,000 gns in October and he very much appeals as the type to make his mark in this sphere. Stable won this 12 months ago. Fairly useful on Flat; the type to do well in juvenile hurdles; interesting contender.
6 4th (6) (18/1 +18%) Estate Planning	18 18/1(+18%)	(6) Estate Planning 18/1, Fair form on first of 3 starts in Flat maidens for Mrs J. Harrington and stepped up on his yard/hurdles debut effort when third in a C&D juvenile 39 days ago. Appeals as the type to progress again in this sphere, including when tackling 2½m. Placed in C&D event last time but the form is nothing special.
5 5th (5) (33/1 -230%) Dr Waksman	33 33/1(-230%)	(5) Dr Waksman 33/1, Fair form in maidens on Flat (stays 10.5f), showed more than previously when made frame last time. Has left Andrew Oliver and now goes hurdling for successful NH yard. Inferior to several of these rivals judged on his Irish Flat form.
1 6th (1) (17/2 +23%) See The Green	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(1) See The Green 17/2, Fairly useful on Flat for Owen Burrows and made a successful start to his hurdle career in Ludlow juvenile (15.7f) in November. He's not the biggest however, and could only run to a similar level under a penalty when fourth of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Sandown (2m) 45 days ago. Won a weak race on hurdles debut and found things harder at Sandown since.
4 7th (4) (7/1 +30%) Crown Of India	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Crown Of India 7/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m), well beaten in handicap last time. Has left Ed Walker ahead of this hurdles debut with a hood kept on. Fair maiden on Flat for Ed Walker; frame possibilities, provided he takes to hurdles.
9 8th (9) (200/1 -100%) Little Lady Lucy	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Little Lady Lucy 200/1, Fair on Flat for Joseph O'Brien, off the mark in that sphere in an 11.8f Gowran handicap in September. No show both starts since switched to hurdles, though, and she's best watched until tackling low-grade handicaps. Has failed to transfer her Irish Flat ability to this sphere.
3 9th (3) (150/1 -127%) Catalan King	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Catalan King 150/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 15f) for Ed Bethell but showed no aptitude for hurdling first time up when always behind in a Wetherby juvenile (2m, soft) over Christmas. Passed over here. Jumped inadequately and beaten long way at Wetherby.
10 10th (10) (250/1 -67%) White Coco	250 250/1(-67%)	(10) White Coco 250/1, Dam fair 2m hurdle winner, also 7f-1¼m winner who stayed 1¾m on Flat. Poor maiden handicapper on Flat, sold from David Simcock 1,200 gns. Likely outsider now starting out in this discipline. Poor maiden on Flat for David Simcock; best watched.

12:05 Warwick Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LAVENDER HILL MOB has arguably been disappointing on both hurdles starts to date, although James Owen's gelding has shown promise on each of those occasions. With that in mind, he can be given another chance here given the strength of his Flat form. Aviemore was also useful on the level and has to be noted on his hurdling bow, while Midnight Rumble is the pick of the remainder.

Those with previous hurdles form only set a fair standard but useful Flat performer AVIEMORE appeals as the type who could make his mark now hurdling for the Harry Derham stable and earns the vote before market clues. Lavender Hill Mob surely has a bigger effort in his locker and is a threat, along with See The Green who returns to calmer waters. Dr Waksman is another hurdles debutant to note.

Form choice LAVENDER HILL MOB gets the vote, with interesting hurdles debutant Aviemore feared most.

12:35 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
1 1st (1) (4/6 +19%) That's Nice	0.666667 4/6(+19%)	(1) That's Nice 4/6, Won sole start in points and justified good support to follow up on hurdles debut in mares' novice over C&D (soft) in November, very confidently ridden. Seemingly not right when coming in last of 4 at Cheltenham since and she's well worth another chance. Best to forgive latest effort; scored cosily over C&D in November and remains of interest.
8 2nd (8) (5/1 -43%) Miss Cynthia	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Miss Cynthia 5/1, Useful performer on Flat (stays 17f) for Sir Mark Prescott who was bought for 100,000 gns in October. Well below that level when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 29 days ago but she should have learnt plenty from that. No match for the winner at Fakenham but Flat form suggests she should do better.
10 3rd (10) (33/1 -106%) Sea Presenting	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Sea Presenting 33/1, Affinisea mare. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Listen And Learn. Third only outing in Irish points in autumn and market may prove best guide to claims on Rules debut. Showed some promise in Irish point in October; check the betting.
9 4th (9) (6/1 +50%) Presenting Doy	6 6/1(+50%)	(9) Presenting Doy 6/1, £75,000 4-y-o, Doyen mare. Dam, ran once in bumper, sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Gold Present. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Nov 2023) and she's one to note in the betting now hurdling with Harry Cobden booked. Irish point winner; booking of Harry Cobden is a plus; interesting rules debutante.
6 5th (6) (12/1 -20%) Jasmine D'airy	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Jasmine D'airy 12/1, £120,000 purchase on the back of success in a Tipperary bumper (18f) in May. Weak in betting but offered something to work on when fourth of 6 in a mares' novice at Lingfield (16f, soft) in December. In good hands and she's open to improvement. Irish bumper winner; fourth at Lingfield for new connections; open to progress.
3 6th (3) (28/1 +15%) Briery Butterfly	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Briery Butterfly 28/1, Unplaced in a couple of bumpers at big tracks and looks more one for later on based on pair of hurdle runs this term. Needs improvement and may be more interesting in handicaps shortly.
7 7th (7) (25/1 -233%) Kantagua Du Large	25 25/1(-233%)	(7) Kantagua Du Large 25/1, Improved sent chasing in France last term, winning 1 of her 4 starts. Posted fairly-useful third of 9 in listed chase at Pau (19.4f, heavy) when last seen 11 months ago and is worth monitoring in market on UK debut for new connections here. Largely consistent over hurdles and fences in France, winning once; British debut.
5 8th (5) (200/1 -100%) Hello Marie	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Hello Marie 200/1, Beat one other finisher when winning an Irish point and has offered little in sole start in bumpers and on hurdles bow earlier this month. Irish point winner whose rules form gives her a poor chance.
4 \|PU\| (4) (200/1 -150%) Flora Paget	200 200/1(-150%)	(4) Flora Paget 200/1, Took a step forward when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) when last seen 19 months ago but is likely best watched on return here. Plenty to find on form and has been absent since June 2023.
2 \|PU\| (2) (300/1 -50%) Braunton Burrows	300 300/1(-50%)	(2) Braunton Burrows 300/1, Offered little in a trio of bumpers (first two for Nigel Twiston-Davies) and pulled up on hurdles bow at Doncaster when last seen 12 months ago. Poor claims on form and has been absent for over a year.

12:35 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

THAT'S NICE failed to fire when odds-on at Cheltenham last time but she was an impressive winner over C&D the time before. As a result, Nicky Henderson's mare can be given another chance back against her own sex. Miss Cynthia was well held on her hurdling debut at Fakenham but it is far too soon to be writing her off, while any market support for Presenting Doy would have to be noted.

THAT'S NICE clearly wasn't herself at Cheltenham last time and is taken to concede weight all round here. Jasmine d'Airy and Presenting Doy are also of interest.

C&D winner THAT'S NICE remains of interest. Miss Cynthia and Jasmine d'Airy are the other main players on British form.

13:05 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
4 1st (4) (11/8 +50%) I Am The Moon	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(4) I Am The Moon 11/8, Acquitted herself well in a couple of bumpers and posted promising fourth of 10 in novice at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Not disgraced at Wetherby on Boxing Day; should be capable of better still; shortlisted.
8 2nd (8) (11/1 +56%) Pismo Beach	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Pismo Beach 11/1, Hinted at ability in bumper and on hurdles debut at Chepstow in October but is likely to need more time. Never dangerous last time; needs a big step forward.
7 3rd (7) (13/8 -18%) Mistress Emma	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(7) Mistress Emma 13/8, Won a Worcester bumper in June 2022 and showed aptitude for hurdling (on first start since) when second of 11 in novice at Newbury (16.3f, soft) on debut in this sphere 33 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for shortlist. Won bumper in 2022; should progress with Newbury reappearance effort under her belt.
1 4th (1) (22/1 -57%) All Inn Hand	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) All Inn Hand 22/1, Showed more than she had in a trio of bumpers when third in 11-runner maiden at Stratford (22f) on hurdles bow in October but wasn't in same form here last time and others make more appeal. Has inconsistent form; place possibilities on penultimate effort but she isn't solid.
5 5th (5) (40/1 +20%) Luna De Castana	40 40/1(+20%)	(5) Luna De Castana 40/1, Well held in bumpers last season and no signs of improvement on debut over timber at Newbury last month. Suffered heavy defeats the last twice; something to prove.
3 6th (3) (150/1 -355%) High As Hope	150 150/1(-355%)	(3) High As Hope 150/1, Runner-up in a point but hasn't troubled the judge in a couple of bumpers and makes limited appeal on switch to hurdling. Needs improvement on bare figures.
2 7th (2) (5/1 -25%) Briery Bee	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Briery Bee 5/1, Placed in both bumper outings and ran with promise when fourth of 15 in novice over C&D (soft, 20/1) on debut over hurdles 60 days ago. Had a wind operation since and remains with potential. Ran respectably over C&D two months ago; had wind surgery since; still open to progress.
6 8th (6) (33/1 -136%) Melleray Hill	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Melleray Hill 33/1, £25,000 5-y-o, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to fair 1m winner Curfewed. Dam fair 2m hurdle winner, also 8.3f winner on Flat. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 23). Worth monitoring in market on Rules debut. Absent since Irish point success in April 2023; market instructive.
9 9th (9) (50/1 0%) Pooley's Promise	50 50/1(0%)	(9) Pooley's Promise 50/1, Finished down the field on sole bumper outing and was similar story on switch to hurdling at Chepstow 15 days ago. Down the field in both outings.
10 10th (10) (28/1 +15%) Swallowfields	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Swallowfields 28/1, Made little impact in bumper or on Doncaster hurdles bow in November. Looks one for handicaps down the line. In good hands but her two efforts leave a lot to be desired.

13:05 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is hard to oppose MISTRESS EMMA, who was returning from a 903-day break when filling second place on her hurdling debut at Newbury in December. With the benefit of that outing, the former bumper winner could be hard to stop. I Am The Moon may prove to be the main danger based on her fourth at Wetherby on Boxing Day, although Briery Bee is another with claims.

Preference is for BRIERY BEE, who offered encouragement when given a considerate introduction to hurdling here 2 months ago and will have learnt plenty from that. Mistress Emma and I Am The Moon rate the principal dangers.

With wind surgery likely to bring her on, BRIERY BEE is preferred. I Am The Moon and Mistress Emma complete the shortlist.

13:35 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
4 1st (4) (5/4 +33%) Leader In The Park	1.25 5/4(+33%)	(4) Leader In The Park 5/4, Cost £250,000 from points and looked good when making all in 19.5f Doncaster maiden hurdle in February. All the better for chase bow/return when making all at Kempton on Boxing Day, finding extra after looking vulnerable. Likely to progress further so big shout up 4 lb. Made all at Kempton on Boxing Day and warrants respect with further improvement plausible.
6 2nd (6) (7/1 +50%) Classic Anthem	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Classic Anthem 7/1, Expensive recruit from Irish points who scored over hurdles at Sandown in December 2023. Promising start over fences back from 6 months off when second of 4 at same course in November but not so good at Newbury later that month. Bounce back needed. Form of his Sandown effort looks iffy; well beaten at Newbury since.
9 3rd (9) (9/1 +36%) Jupiter Des Bordes	9 9/1(+36%)	(9) Jupiter Des Bordes 9/1, Fair winning hurdler in France who offered something to work on when 4 lengths fourth of 6 at Lignieres on chasing debut in November. Should do better over fences starting out for this yard on U.K debut. Ex-French 6yo who isn't easy to assess accurately; check the betting.
2 4th (2) (11/4 +31%) Southoftheborder	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Southoftheborder 11/4, Point/bumper winner who made winning hurdles bow at Sandown on return last season. Looked in a spot of bother when unseating 2 out in a Grade 2 back there before failing to land the odds in novice when last seen a year ago. Remains with potential and probably starts chasing career off a good mark. Point/bumper/hurdle winner; retains low mileage and likely still has more to offer.
3 5th (3) (33/1 -136%) Abbeydale	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Abbeydale 33/1, Fairly useful 2m hurdler for Gordon Elliott but difficult to assess for current yard at the moment, remote second of 3 at Leicester last time having suffered a nasty experience sent chasing on return at Bangor the time before. Yet to show progress for new yard; not obviously well treated back in a handicap.
1 6th (1) (22/1 -175%) Ramo	22 22/1(-175%)	(1) Ramo 22/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning return in that sphere at Ludlow season. Pulled up in a competitive event at Aintree 9 months ago but starts out over fences for stable with fine record with similar types. Fairy useful handicap hurdler; interesting back down in grade on chase debut.
7 7th (7) (9/1 -20%) Galassian	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) Galassian 9/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who showed much improved form to land Bangor maiden hurdle last month. A winning pointer who looked an interesting runner switched to fences for handicap debut at Haydock 3 weeks ago but failed to complete through no fault of his own (brought down fourth). Brought down in early stages at Haydock on chase debut; retains potential.
5 \|U\| (5) (22/1 -120%) Johnny Jump Up	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Johnny Jump Up 22/1, Fourth both starts in Irish points who made a taking winning start to his Rules career in a 2¼m novice hurdle at Fontwell a year ago. Ran well under a penalty at Plumpton next time but disappointed at Taunton final start. Makes handicap/chase debut. Lightly raced 6yo whose form last term suggests he's one to catch fresh; interesting.

13:35 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Connections of point-to-point winner SOUTHOFTHEBORDER waste little time in sending him over fences after a promising novice hurdle campaign last season. An opening mark of 126 could prove lenient on his return from a 360-day layoff and market support for Nicky Henderson's charge would increase confidence. Leader In The Park made it second-time lucky when scoring over the larger obstacles at Kempton on Boxing Day and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Chase debutant Ramo is also worth a second look.

LEADER IN THE PARK looked the useful chasing prospect his physique and efforts over hurdles suggested he would be when leaving his reappearance run well behind to score at Kempton on Boxing Day and he can defy a 4 lb rise with further progress likely. The highly-regarded Southoftheborder is the obvious threat switched to fences on his belated return, with Galassian best of the others.

With further progress likely, LEADER IN THE PARK (nap) can follow up his Kempton win. Southoftheborder is second pick.

14:08 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 1st (2) (7/1 -56%) Ikarak	7 7/1(-56%)	(2) Ikarak 7/1, Bounced back to form on debut for new yard when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (5/4) over C&D in November, easily. Had won over larger obstacles in France but clearly didn't take to fences last time, mistakes and pulled up. Respected back over smaller obstacles for in-form yard. C&D winner in Nov off just 3lb lower; made too many mistakes back chasing last time.
8 2nd (8) (9/1 -13%) Jalisco Star	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Jalisco Star 9/1, Arrives in search of a hat-trick after winning a 3m handicap hurdles at Ascot and Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy), holding on gamely last-time. Clearly in good heart but up another 5 lb for latest win and into deeper waters here. Career-best form in going back-to-back in handicaps at Ascot (good) and Ffos Las (heavy).
10 3rd (10) (14/1 +44%) Minniemum	14 14/1(+44%)	(10) Minniemum 14/1, Free-goer who finally came good in 23f Bangor handicap in May but below-par on two starts this campaign, sixth of 10 in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 38 days ago, faded after 2 out. Needs more. Fairly handicapped and second run back from a break was more encouraging than the first.
5 4th (5) (11/10 +56%) Land Genie	1.1 11/10(+56%)	(5) Land Genie 11/10, Fair staying hurdler for the O'Neill stable and has progressed for the Skelton yard on the back of wind surgery. scoring on only his second start for his new handler, winning with a bit in hand here 20 days ago (26f, soft). Could easily have more to offer and looks to have excellent claims. Has an 8lb rise to deal with but could be progressive (wind surgery has clearly worked).
3 5th (3) (10/1 -67%) Warranty	10 10/1(-67%)	(3) Warranty 10/1, Course winner had a few quiet runs over hurdles for this yard (previously with Gary Moore) but landed a double on the Flat in May and has returned to the best of his hurdles form in recent starts, second of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, good to soft) 33 days ago, clear of third. Player. Solid seconds the last twice but has gone up 6lb for those defeats.
9 6th (9) (14/1 0%) I'm A Starman	14 14/1(0%)	(9) I'm A Starman 14/1, Admirable sort. C&D winner and well into the veteran stage now but shaped as if retaining all his ability after 7 months off, 7¾ lengths third of 10 to Land Genie here 20 days ago. Can give another good account of himself with top jockey enlisted. Had no excuses behind Land Genie here last month and he's an exposed 12yo.
7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Jatiluwih	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Jatiluwih 16/1, Is a long time without a win and has tumbled down the weights as a result, dropped another 4 lb than his latest effort when 15 lengths sixth of 10 to Land Genie here (26f, soft) 20 days ago, possibly not suited by patient tactics. Veteran performer tried in cheekpieces now and place claims at best. Without a win under rules since 2019 and was well behind Land Genie here last time.
4 8th (4) (25/1 +24%) Glimpse Of Gala	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Glimpse Of Gala 25/1, C&D winner who made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Worcester in October 2023 but regressed in two starts since, pulled up in first-time blinkers at Hereford 30 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers today and on something of a recovery mission back over hurdles. Has questions to answer now after two modest shows over fences.
11 9th (11) (16/1 +0%) Sporty Jim	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Sporty Jim 16/1, Has placed here a couple of times and possibly not suited by the run of the race when 11¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Land Genie 20 days ago. Could well get a stronger pace to aim at here and he a could be lively outsider. Another member of the trailing party behind Land Genie here on New Year's Eve.
6 \|PU\| (6) (11/1 -83%) East Street	11 11/1(-83%)	(6) East Street 11/1, Visored and landed hat-trick when winning handicap chases at Wetherby/Leicester and a Haydock handicap hurdle this winter. Pulled up back at Haydock last time over the bigger obstacles and returns to hurdling with a little bit to prove now. Struggled in a good chase last time but debatable whether he can slip back into the groove.
1 \|PU\| (1) (150/1 -127%) Slip Of The Tongue	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Slip Of The Tongue 150/1, Ended time with Padraig Roche in Ireland out of sorts and showed nothing having been easy to back on two starts (hurdles and fences) for new yard. Blinkers tried now but easy to dismiss. Dual hurdle winner in Ireland but looking regressive now after recent non-completions.

14:08 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with IKARAK but it may pay to do so. He showed a likeable attitude when scoring over C&D on his seasonal return in November, before pulling up in a deeper race at Aintree most recently. Off 3lb higher than his last winning mark, he could bounce back. Warranty arrives on the back of a couple of runner-up efforts and he merits respect in a bid to go one better. Land Genie is also one for the shortlist.

LAND GENIE won with plenty in hand here on New Year's Eve and remains unexposed over staying trips for his excellent yard. Sporty Jim has placed here on a couple of occasions and could outrun his odds with a stronger pace to aim at. Warranty and Ikarak should be thereabouts also.

It could be onwards and upwards for LAND GENIE who has made a good start for the Skeltons following a wind operation.

14:40 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
14 1st (14) (3/1 +40%) Ideallko	3 3/1(+40%)	(14) Ideallko 3/1, Improved for switch to chasing winning handicaps at Ffos Las and Plumpton during early stages of last season. Notched third success in that sphere when returning to action here on New Year's Eve and, if able to translate that improved form back over hurdles, he will be a danger to all. Won over fences here on New Year's Eve; now 5lb higher in that sphere; big player.
2 2nd (2) (10/1 +50%) Moor End	10 10/1(+50%)	(2) Moor End 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who resumed from 7 months off with a good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) at the beginning of December. Subsequent effort upped to 23.3f at Uttoxeter represented a sizeable step in the wrong direction, though. The drop back in trip looks a plus for this six-race maiden.
11 3rd (11) (7/2 +42%) Greenways	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(11) Greenways 7/2, Justified support having joined this yard from Dominic Ffrench Davis when readily scoring in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good) in November. Has made the frame both subsequent starts and likely to give another good account. Won at Hereford on debut for this yard; subsequent defeats can be excused.
4 4th (4) (28/1 -40%) Staff Sergeant Len	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Staff Sergeant Len 28/1, Fair form standout effort in bumpers and while she hasn't shown much in a trio of novice hurdles at around 2m, he could do better now upped in trip with cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut. Needs a turnaround in first-time headgear on handicap debut.
8 5th (8) (33/1 -230%) Rockette	33 33/1(-230%)	(8) Rockette 33/1, Well held in 2 bumpers but showed ability both starts over hurdles for Dan Skelton in May/June 2023. Subsequent absence is naturally a concern ahead of this handicap/yard debut but she has been handed a potentially decent opening mark and needs close attention in the betting. Absent since 2023 but market support should be heeded on stable debut.
6 6th (6) (14/1 +13%) Goddess Afrana	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Goddess Afrana 14/1, Modest in bumpers and while she bettered her first 2 efforts over hurdles when fourth in a 9-runner Wetherby novice (2m, soft) last month, her mark for this handicap debut is fair at best. Ran well last time; could take another step forward now handicapping.
10 7th (10) (66/1 -100%) Talysh	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Talysh 66/1, Didn't achieve much when making the frame in a couple of mares maidens first 2 starts this season and has made a discouraging start to life in handicaps. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces having a positive effect. Chance depends on how well she responds to cheekpieces.
16 8th (16) (16/1 +0%) Falstaff	16 16/1(+0%)	(16) Falstaff 16/1, Well held in a bumper and 3 starts over hurdles to date. However, he's more interesting now pitched into a handicap and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. From a smart family and may improve off an opening mark of just 79.
5 9th (5) (9/1 +10%) Aunty Christine	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Aunty Christine 9/1, No show in a couple of bumpers but has shown ability on 2 of her 3 starts since tackling hurdles, most recently finishing a respectable fourth of 11 at Catterick (15.7f, good) where she wasn't knocked about. One to keep an eye now handicapping and back up in trip with a first-time hood added. May settle better and show improvement with hood applied on handicap debut.
15 \|F\| (15) (9/1 +73%) Larkfield Lusive	9 9/1(+73%)	(15) Larkfield Lusive 9/1, Modest maiden who wasn't disgraced on first 2 starts for present connections but form has dipped since and he was nearer last than first at Stratford when last seen 6 months ago. Still a maiden but this drop back in distance may help.
13 \|U\| (13) (14/1 -40%) Raise Your Glass	14 14/1(-40%)	(13) Raise Your Glass 14/1, Appeared to improve a touch when runner-up on second start for this yard in a Stratford juvenile event last March. Has failed to build on that switched to handicaps the last twice, albeit she did fare a bit better than the distance beaten on return in October and has since undergone a wind op. Had further wind surgery since last run; may see her race out better.
9 10th (9) (7/2 -17%) Emma Hamilton	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(9) Emma Hamilton 7/2, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts since equipped with a visor, producing her best effort yet when accounting for 12 rivals at Uttoxeter (22.2f, heavy) last month. 6 lb rise fair enough and, on the proviso that this drop back in trip doesn't count against her, she should be firmly in the mix. Form figures of 131 since wearing a visor, the wins over 3m and 2m6f.
3 11th (3) (66/1 -65%) Star Turn	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Star Turn 66/1, Modest form at best on the Flat and over hurdles for Alan King, well beaten both starts switched to handicap company in this sphere, including on last month's return/debut for new yard. Tongue strap applied. Maiden who has a poor handicap record; tongue-tie fitted.
1 12th (1) (125/1 -89%) Lucky Draw	125 125/1(-89%)	(1) Lucky Draw 125/1, Fair on Flat and over hurdles but needs treating with caution following an inauspicious return from 17 months off at Hereford where she was reluctant to line up and never in the hunt thereafter (eventually pulled up). Achieved nothing last month on return from lengthy absence.
12 13th (12) (33/1 -230%) Jack Sparrow Grey	33 33/1(-230%)	(12) Jack Sparrow Grey 33/1, Mere glimmers of ability in a Sandown bumper on debut in November 2023 but he hasn't shown much in 3 starts over hurdles. Handicap bow. Half-brother to a five-time winner for his connections; interesting handicap debutant.
7 \|PU\| (7) (66/1 -65%) Ebony Jade	66 66/1(-65%)	(7) Ebony Jade 66/1, Poor form over hurdles in Ireland and pulled up on his yard debut in 2m Doncaster handicap hurdle last month. Best to look elsewhere. Has very weak claims on form.

14:40 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A strong case can be made for a few of these and only a tentative vote goes to IDEALLKO. Evan Williams' charge did it well when landing a 2m chase here last month and, stepping up in trip off 1lb higher on his return to hurdles, he could prove tough to stop. Fellow last-time-out winner Emma Hamilton could emerge as the main danger to the selection for all that a 6lb rise demands more of her. Greenways is respected most out of the remainder.

AUNTY CHRISTINE makes her handicap debut on the back of an encouraging display in what looked a decent novice at Catterick last month and she earns the vote ahead of the in-form pair Emma Hamilton and Ideallko. The former is feared most on account of the fact that Ideallko needs to prove that he can reproduce something akin to his improved chase form now returning to this sphere. Greenways shouldn't be too far away and Rockette needs a market check.

Back up in distance, GREENWAYS gets the verdict. Ideallko and Emma Hamilton are other strong contenders on form.

15:15 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
10 1st (10) (2/1 +56%) Always Busy	2 2/1(+56%)	(10) Always Busy 2/1, Modest handicap hurdler (1-12 in that sphere) and left his low-key chase debut behind when runner-up at Wincanton last month. Backed that up when second at Taunton and should make another bold bid. Front-running 2nd at Taunton and forcing tactics can be rewarded around here.
5 2nd (5) (14/1 +13%) Isle Of Gold	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Isle Of Gold 14/1, Runner-up sole start between the flags and bettered low-key Rules debut when fourth of 9 in a Chepstow maiden upped to 23.6f in March 2023. However, very lightly raced since and has enough to prove switched to fences. Headgear on. Quiet in four runs over hurdles but he was second in a point and could be a better chaser.
2 3rd (2) (11/4 +45%) Chatshow Tv	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(2) Chatshow Tv 11/4, Belatedly built on his earlier promise in a first-time hood after 7 months off when second at Chepstow in October. Back up in trip switched to fences and should make a chaser (runner-up sole start in Irish points). Ran well in final hurdle (hooded); retains potential and fences could be the making of him.
7 4th (7) (7/1 -75%) Zero Tolerance	7 7/1(-75%)	(7) Zero Tolerance 7/1, Still a maiden but improved form when runner-up in handicap chases this season 6 months apart. Merits consideration. 8yo with just ten races behind and has finished second in two of his three chases.
9 5th (9) (16/1 -33%) Lyrical Genius	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Lyrical Genius 16/1, Has an unattractive style but he's well handicapped and made a positive first start for this yard when third at Huntingdon/Fakenham both starts this season. Tongue strap back on and in the mix. Competitive efforts since returning from a break, over 2m7f and 3m5f.
6 6th (6) (33/1 -65%) Hermes Du Gouet	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Hermes Du Gouet 33/1, Point/hurdles winner and best effort over fences last season when second of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, heavy) in March. Ran poorly both starts this term, however, so plenty to prove now. Has performed poorly in 3m1f/2m4f handicap chases this season, latterly tried in blinkers.
4 7th (4) (15/2 +25%) Innisfree Lass	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(4) Innisfree Lass 15/2, Improved upped in trip/with cheekpieces fitted when running out a wide-margin winner of 2 handicap hurdles at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) during second half of last term. Hasn't kicked on switched to fences this season, albeit running respectably. Finished fourth in all her chases, beaten about 5l and 10l in the last two at about 3m.
1 8th (1) (80/1 -220%) I See You Well	80 80/1(-220%)	(1) I See You Well 80/1, Plenty of wins in a long career but losing run is mounting up and well held both starts this season. Winless since 2022 and worrying signs at Plumpton this season as he goes well there.
8 \|F\| (8) (8/1 -78%) Keppel Queen	8 8/1(-78%)	(8) Keppel Queen 8/1, Improved switched to handicaps last 2 starts when runner-up at Chepstow/Carlisle. Worth a second look now tackling fences. Placed in two 3m handicap hurdles; lightly raced and bred to make a chaser.
3 \|PU\| (3) (16/1 -146%) Lunar Contact	16 16/1(-146%)	(3) Lunar Contact 16/1, Twice a winner between the flags and on the up over fences, winning a brace of handicaps this autumn. Completed hat-trick back over timber at Southwell but had his winning run ended with a whimper back chasing at Fakenham last month. Needs to bounce back. Last time was too bad to be true but might be on a tough mark now.

15:15 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CHATSHOW TV lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up over an inadequate 2m3f over hurdles at Chepstow on his seasonal return in October and that should have teed him up nicely for a tilt at this prize. He gets the nod to make his chasing debut a winning one at the chief expense of Lunar Contact, who pulled up when bidding for a four-timer in a deeper race last time out but could land a blow now eased in grade. Zero Tolerance can also go well.

ALWAYS BUSY has taken well to fences and should be suited by the return to further, so shades the vote over Zero Tolerance, who has a similar profile to the selection. Keppel Queen and Chatshow Tv are a couple of interesting newcomers to this sphere so need considering, too.

This looks open. KEPPEL QUEEN and Chatshow Tv are just the types to do better over fences. The O'Neill runner edges preference.

15:50 Warwick Hunter Chase (Class 6) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 1st (3) (15/2 +6%) Lift Me Up	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(3) Lift Me Up 15/2, Multiple point winner who took a step forward on just his fourth start under Rules when second of 8 in hunter chase (14/1) at Stratford (27.5f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Pulled up in a point last month, he's not without each-way hope. Very capable but now goes in cheekpieces after laboured return to action between the flags.
2 2nd (2) (12/1 -33%) Bennys King	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Bennys King 12/1, Not the force of old but has paid his way in hunters in recent seasons and was second in the Foxhunters' at Aintree in April. Has failed to complete in his last 7 handicaps, including all 3 outings this season, but a return to this company could well spark a revival. Cheekpieces reapplied. Has form claims but a 14yo now and age might be catching up with him.
7 3rd (7) (11/4 +17%) Jeux D'eau	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(7) Jeux D'eau 11/4, Failed to meet expectations on his debut under Rules when fifth of 9 in hunter chase at Cheltenham (25.2f, heavy) 8 months ago. Is a multiple winning pointer however, including 3-finisher event last month. Three weeks ago made light work of former Cheltenham Festival hero Premier Magic.
8 4th (8) (11/2 -22%) Lord Du Mesnil	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(8) Lord Du Mesnil 11/2, Almost 4 years since he was last successful but was a smart handicap chaser at best, fourth in veterans' event at Exeter last February. Found the Ultima too competitive the following month and not seen since. Every chance he can make a winning start in this discipline (has had a wind op). Stuck on a losing run but plenty of good runs in the meantime, including last season.
1 5th (1) (12/1 -71%) Bardenstown Lad	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Bardenstown Lad 12/1, Winner of a handicap hurdle and maiden chase for Gavin Cromwell at Kilbeggan in 2024. Won't be found wanting fitness-wise following a couple of spins between the flags last month but likely to have his work cut out here against Lord du Mesnil and Eva's Oskar, if those rivals are on-song. Recent point second; useful hurdler/chaser when trained in Ireland and still only a 10yo.
5 6th (5) (13/2 -18%) Eva's Oskar	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(5) Eva's Oskar 13/2, Likeable chaser who landed a valuable Cheltenham handicap a couple of seasons back. Didn't shape badly at Chepstow on his sole appearance last term and could prove a tough nut to crack now pitched into a hunter chase if anywhere near his best following a 15-month absence. Flashes of very smart form but makes hunter chase debut after a long absence.
9 7th (9) (80/1 -21%) Desert Fortune	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Desert Fortune 80/1, Didn't offer much over hurdles for Christian Williams, but this former point winner fared much better when runner-up Leicester on yard/chase debut for Venetia Williams last February. No impact both starts since and has moved yards (sold just £1,000) ahead of her return/debut in hunters. Winning pointer but 0-9 under rules and left Venetia Williams for £1,000.
4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 -243%) Dusart	12 12/1(-243%)	(4) Dusart 12/1, Made up into a very smart performer during first half of 2022, winning 3 of his 4 starts. Has seemingly hard to train, making it 3 successive non-completions by running poorly when last seen at Newbury in December 2023. Switched yards since, and unseated rider sole start in points last month. Classy chaser at his best but his current ability is hard to gauge.
6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -200%) Get Bye	150 150/1(-200%)	(6) Get Bye 150/1, No real impact in bumpers/over hurdles and similar story over handicap chases when last seen in 2021/22 campaign. Has since left Tom Geroge and been successful in points, finishing runner-up on last 3 starts (latest Jan 2024). Runner-up in his last three points but a low-grade performer under rules.

15:50 Warwick Hunter Chase (Class 6) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Still lightly-raced for his age, the formerly smart DUSART gets the nod to score. He was still going well when unseating his rider on his debut for this stable in a point-to-point last month and provided he is none the worse for that mishap, he could have too much in his locker for this opposition. Lord Du Mesnil showed flashes of useful form in defeat last term and it would be no surprise if he had a part to play on his seasonal return. Eva's Oskar looks the pick of the rest.

A smart handicap chaser in his pomp, LORD DU MESNIL gets the nod to make a successful start in this discipline and provide owner/jockey David Maxwell with another winner at the expense of Eva's Oskar, who could prove a tough nut to crack pitched into a hunter chase if anywhere near his best following a 15-month absence (trainer/jockey combination successful in similar event at Taunton earlier in month). Lift Me Up and Bennys King can fight out minor honours.

A few of these have plenty of back-class but also questions to answer on various counts. JEUX D'EAU could be the emerging force.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
