UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Motashakel displayed some promise on his hurdling debut at Kempton last month and he has to be respected this afternoon, but a chance can be taken with ALLMANKIND. The son of Sea The Moon showed a high level of ability on the Flat as a two-year-old but has been a bit disappointing so far this year. If he can settle over this longer trip then Dan Skelton's gelding could outclass his rivals today. Galahad Quest is closely related to plenty of winners and he merits a market check on his racecourse debut.
Prediction : 1st Allmankind 2nd Motashakel 3rd Galahad Quest

BLUE LAUREATE was last seen on the Flat when finishing third in the valuable Cesarewitch Trial off a mark of 91 and that followed his impressive victory at Ffos Las. His current rating on the level suggests that it will take a decent rival to beat him if he can transfer his form to hurdles. Capac has to be respected based upon his bumper win, while Kaymar and Whatsupwithyou complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Blue Laureate 2nd Capac 3rd Kaymar

THOMAS DARBY ended last season with a second-placed finish in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham and, despite this being a competitive race, it will be disappointing if the six-year-old is beaten this afternoon. The main threat could prove to be Maire Banrigh after her easy 15-length victory on her chasing debut at Stratford last month. Esprit De Somoza edges out Mon Port and Belargus to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Thomas Darby 2nd Maire Banrigh 3rd Esprit De Somoza

Karakoram won at the eighth time of asking over hurdles at Ludlow last month but needs to step up again now taking on stronger opposition, while Go Steady needs a market check for last year's winning yard returning from a 1027-day absence. Stablemate Iconic Hero is also interesting following a wind operation, but it is MACK THE MAN who appeals most. Progressive prior to being pulled up at Sandown in March, this drop back to 2m will suit and a mark of 115 appears generous.
Prediction : 1st Mack The Man 2nd Karakoram 3rd Iconic Hero

LA CAVSA NOSTRA proved a revelation when scoring at Chepstow last month after being upped markedly in trip and could take some stopping once more for Neil Mulholland. A 7lb penalty is negated slightly by Sam Waley-Cohen's claim, and the pair can build on the exertions of 10 days ago. Boughtbeforelunch finished second behind a smart animal at Worcester four weeks ago and is respected, while the returning pair of Nesterenko and Cadeau Du Bresil also merit consideration after their absences.
Prediction : 1st La Cavsa Nostra 2nd Boughtbeforelunch 3rd Cadeau Du Bresil

BROUGHTONS RHYTHM has finished second on his last three starts and the booking of Richard Johnson, who partnered the gelding to his last success in March 2017, could make the difference required. Rizzardo would be of interest if ridden more positively over this shorter distance after his fourth at Chepstow over 3m2f 10 days ago, while Hugo's Reflection ended last season in fine form and completes the shortlist with the potential for further improvement over fences.
Prediction : 1st Broughtons Rhythm 2nd Rizzardo 3rd Hugos Reflection

WYNN HOUSE made a pleasing start to her career when scoring in a Uttoxeter bumper in March and her 7lb penalty for that success has been negated by Alexander Thorne's claim. She could put that experience to good use against a whole host of interesting newcomers which are headed by Hala Princess, who is from the family of useful chaser Virak, and Hunny Moon as she represents a stable that do very well in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Wynn House 2nd Hala Princess 3rd Hunny Moon
