UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

CHAMPAGNE NOIR was bought for 70,000 pounds shortly after his promising third-placed effort between the flags at Boulta in December and he looks to have a great chance of getting his NH career off to a flyer. Floki hasn't been without promise in a couple of bumper starts, finishing less than seven lengths behind the high-class Emitom first time out, and warrants plenty of respect on his hurdling debut, while My Charity completes the shortlist following his runner-up effort in a Wetherby handicap.
Prediction : 1st Champagne Noir 2nd Floki 3rd My Charity

COOPERS SQUARE has won each of his last five outings when completing the track (unseated Alan Johns at Huntingdon four runs ago) and, despite a further 6lb rise for his last-start Exeter success, Tom Weston's in-form gelding could hit the target again. There didn't appear to be any fluke about Change Ur Tune's 20/1 success at Bangor and he should remain competitive off 9lb higher, with Eaton Miller and Danseur Du Large others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Coopers Square 2nd Change Ur Tune 3rd Eaton Miller

The ability is most definitely there with MIDNIGHTREFERENDUM, having placed in a Grade 2 bumper at last year's Aintree Festival, and recent wind surgery could be just what was needed to help the past course winner bounce back to form. Forgot To Ask showed the positive effects from the same procedure when third at Wincanton last time and he must enter calculations lining up off an unchanged mark, while Cardigan Bay and Nigh Or Never also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Midnightreferendum 2nd Forgot To Ask 3rd Nigh Or Never

Ardera Cross has found one too good on the last three occasions but should be thereabouts once more for Dan Skelton, while Glance Back tries cheekpieces for the first time having only finished outside of the first three once in six starts so far this season. CRUISEAWEIGH only found a fairly treated horse too good at Doncaster last month, he remains totally unexposed over fences and looks ready to claim a first win since November 2016 for Tom George.
Prediction : 1st Cruiseaweigh 2nd Ardera Cross 3rd Glance Back

OCEAN COVE returned to winning ways over 3m2f here last month and is expected to remain competitive following a 7lb rise in the ratings. Robin The Raven was in the process of running a solid race over fences when taking a tumble at Worcester last time and is expected to go well now given a confidence booster back over the smaller obstacles. Any money for Harry Fry's Over To Sam, who returns from a 804-day break, would also be notable.
Prediction : 1st Ocean Cove 2nd Robin The Raven 3rd Over To Sam

BOUGHTBEFORELUNCH was touched off by under a length over track and trip when last sighted and although the handicapper has reacted by handing him a 7lb rise, he pulled 12 lengths clear of the third last time and likely has further improvement in the pipeline on what is only his seventh chase start. C&D winner Irish Octave is 6lb higher than when striking at Chepstow recently (a race Domingo pulled-up in on his seasonal return) but is feared most.
Prediction : 1st Boughtbeforelunch 2nd Irish Octave 3rd Domingo

OVERTHETOP left a favourable impression when scoring between the flags in December and is expected to show up well now debuting under Rules. Ahead Of The Game should be all the wiser for the experience gained when third on debut at Taunton in November and has place possibilities, though greater dangers may be lurking among the newcomers and big runs are expected from Temple High and Unai - both of whom represent stables capable of getting their their runners ready on debut.
Prediction : 1st Overthetop 2nd Temple High 3rd Unai

Nicky Henderson's O CONNELL STREET shaped with plenty of promise when second on debut at Market Rasen and is expected to improve on that performance second time out. Dundrum Wood has winning form between the flags and is worth a market check on debut for Olly Murphy now making his first start under Rules, while Stoner's Choice is entitled to build on a solid introduction at Market Rasen and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st O Connell Street 2nd Dundrum Wood 3rd Stoners Choice
