UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

STORY OF FRIENDS improved with every start in bumpers and he was last seen winning impressively at Exeter two weeks ago. That form suggests that he will be hard to beat here if his jumping holds up. Yccs Portocervo displayed promise in his native France last year and is one to note on his debut for these connections, while Montana Grey completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Story Of Friends 2nd Yccs Portocervo 3rd Montana Grey

It is hard to oppose KEREMAN, who arrives having won his last three starts easily, and even a 13lb rise in the ratings for his latest victory may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Billy My Boy failed to fire on his seasonal return but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Others to consider are Chief Brody and Atlantic Storm.
Prediction : 1st Kereman 2nd Billy My Boy 3rd Atlantic Storm

The veteran Riddlestown struck up a good partnership with Bryony Frost when scoring at Plumpton and warrants respect under a 7lb penalty, while Cap Horner appeared to find the ground too lively when second at Wincanton and faces a potentially similar issue this time. The percentage call is to side with MAX FORTE, who was second here four weeks ago before finding one too good again at Exeter a fortnight later. He won't mind the step up in trip and can strike now back over fences.
Prediction : 1st Max Forte 2nd Riddlestown 3rd Cap Horner

Dino Velvet was second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle and a respectable sixth in the Swinton at Haydock, but he could be vulnerable to something less exposed. Not Never has won three of his last four but needs to up his game at this level, and this can go the way of MAGIC DANCER, who was second in the Betfair Hurdle at Ascot in February and then travelled well before claiming third at Cheltenham off this mark.
Prediction : 1st Magic Dancer 2nd Dino Velvet 3rd Not Never

Recent Kelso winner Mcgroarty is respected off a 4lb higher mark, and his stablemate Vosne Romanee will find this much easier than the Celebration Chase. C&D winner Whatduhavtoget wasn't beaten far off this rating last time and is interesting now tongue-tied, while Storm Control thrived following wind surgery when scoring comfortably at Huntingdon and may have more to come, despite a 13lb hike. However, it was hard not to be impressed by the way DOUBLE W'S returned from a year off to win at Perth, and Ruth Jefferson's charge remains 6lb lower than when landing an Aintree Grade 3 in 2017.
Prediction : 1st Double Ws 2nd Mcgroarty 3rd Vosne Romanee

Prolific pointer MARCLE RIDGE made all to register an impressive nine-length success at Cheltenham's hunter chase meeting, and the seven-year-old could gallop some older rivals into submission once again. Last year's winner Garde Ville has been in good form between the flags and is respected, while Killaro Boy is interesting transferring to this sphere on his first outing for Henry Oliver.
Prediction : 1st Marcle Ridge 2nd Garde Ville 3rd Killaro Boy

OLLY THE BRAVE was only beaten a length on debut at Southwell last month and this looks the perfect opportunity to go one better for a team operating at a 30 per cent strike-rate over the last fortnight. Twasn't The Plan performed respectably in a point-to-point during the winter and now has his first outing for Tim Vaughan, while Adicci cost 30,000 euros and his dam is a half-sister to the useful Winter Escape.
Prediction : 1st Olly The Brave 2nd Adicci 3rd Twasnt The Plan
