UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

FIFTH SYMPHONY has some solid bumper/novice hurdle form under his belt and is fancied to play a leading role switching to maiden company. I'm A Starman and Fortescue outran massive odds when collecting bronze medals last time out and both arrive here with solid claims, while Bbold is unlikely to be far away if running to his official rating of 115.
Prediction : 1st Fifth Symphony 2nd Im A Starman 3rd Fortescue

Bubbles Of Gold is sure to prove popular representing Olly Murphy and Richard Johnson but preference is for the less exposed SOJOURN. A smart bumper performer, Anthony Honeyball's charge made a bright start to his hurdling career when third at Wincanton last month and he can only improve for that first outing since November. Eclair De Guye also warrants respect following his runner-up effort in a C&D handicap.
Prediction : 1st Sojourn 2nd Bubbles Of Gold 3rd Eclair De Guye

ELUSIVE BELLE certainly didn't disgrace herself in the Grade 2 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, finishing 14th of 22, and she can regain the winning thread now stepping back down in class. The penalised Newtown Boy has finished no worse than third in five career starts to date and he looks sure to be in the shake-up again, while point-to-point runner-up Notre Pari could be one note for further down the line.
Prediction : 1st Elusive Belle 2nd Newtown Boy 3rd Notre Pari

Djin Conti and course winner Cuddles Mcgraw have similar profiles and both demand respect, but chasing debutant TIKK TOCK BOOM shades the verdict from further down the weights. Tom O'Brien's mount appeared to benefit from the application of cheekpieces (worn again) when seeing off a subsequent winner over hurdles at Hereford last time and she could potentially improve again for this switch to fences.
Prediction : 1st Tikk Tock Boom 2nd Djin Conti 3rd Cuddles Mcgraw

PLUS ONE never appeared happy when pulled up over fences here in January but showed enough promise in novice hurdles to suggest he has a workable handicap mark, and a pair of blinkers can also eke out improvement. Hastrubal placed in a trio of handicap hurdles earlier in the season and merits respect on those efforts as he bids to bounce back from a disappointing chasing debut at Uttoxeter, while Three Star General and Little Millie are others with solid credentials.
Prediction : 1st Plus One 2nd Hastrubal 3rd Three Star General

NICKNAME EXIT is entitled to come on for his return effort at Exeter over 2m3f last month and he could also improve significantly for this step up in trip. A winner at Towcester last April over a stiff extended 2m5f, Henry Oliver's gelding shades the verdict over the likes of Kilcrea Bridge, second at Chepstow three weeks ago, and the consistent Conas Taoi.
Prediction : 1st Nickname Exit 2nd Kilcrea Bridge 3rd Conas Taoi

RAISING THE BAR will appreciate a more galloping track compared to what he encountered when second at Fakenham last month and he may well have some leniency off a mark of 117 on handicap debut. Supakalanistic was disappointing when a beaten favourite at Huntingdon but is respected off the back of a 52-day absence, while Espoir De Loire returns to the scene of his victory from two outings ago.
Prediction : 1st Raising The Bar 2nd Supakalanistic 3rd Espoir De Loire

Golden Image showed a bit more on her first start after a wind operation when sixth at Hereford last month and warrants respect on her handicap debut. That said, preference is for ANGEL OF THE NORTH as she returns from a winter break and represents the in-form Dan Skelton yard. Lace Bonnet and Sid Hoodie complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Angel Of The North 2nd Golden Image 3rd Lace Bonnet
