UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Gwennie May Boy is open to plenty more improvement on his handicap bow, but the Jonjo O'Neill inmate doesn't look to have been given the most lenient of opening marks and may prove worth taking on. GROOM DE COTTE made the frame behind the rapidly-improving Blenkinsop at Exeter at the beginning of December and is expected to even fare better now returned to the C&D of his encouraging third a month earlier. The juvenile Non Stop is also one to note now entering handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Groom De Cotte 2nd Gwennie May Boy 3rd Non Stop

Haddex Des Obeaux has maintained his forward momentum since being switched to fences and is sure to prove popular now only 6lb higher than for his recent win at Doncaster. Experience around this course could prove key, though and after undergoing a breathing operation, a chance is taken on THIRD TIME LUCKI bouncing back to the form that saw him finish second to Edwardstone here in the Kingmaker. Friend Or Foe is now 2lb below his last winning mark and shouldn't be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Third Time Lucki 2nd Haddex Des Obeaux 3rd Friend Or Foe

Complete Unknown jumped well to win on his chasing debut at Ffos Las last month and looks one of the more likely winners. At the forecast prices however, it may be worth chancing Irish raider THE GOFFER, who lost little in defeat when chasing home a smart prospect of Willie Mullins at Fairyhouse and arrives as the highest-rated rival. Galia Des Liteaux is best forgiven her effort on Boxing Day after jumping poorly and shouldn't be far away.
Prediction : 1st The Goffer 2nd Complete Unknown 3rd Galia Des Liteaux

SNAKE ROLL was third to subsequent Tolworth winner Tahmuras in a Listed affair at Haydock before scoring impressively when upped in trip at Newcastle on Boxing Day. There should be more to come from Lucinda Russell's charge and he may have too much for C&D winner Ginny's Destiny, as well as Knowsley Road, who arrives here on a four-timer. As a former point-to-point scorer, the unbeaten Givega is another who should relish going up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Snake Roll 2nd Ginnys Destiny 3rd Knowsley Road

GUETAPAN COLLONGES may not be proven on heavy ground but his full brother Fontaine Collonges has thrived under such conditions, and that bodes well for the unexposed seven-year-old as he looks to supplement a taking win here last November. Grumpy Charley returned to a form with a decisive success at Newbury last month and must enter calculations, along with proven mudlark Lord Du Mesnil, who has become well-handicapped of late. A winner on this card last year, Threeunderthrufive is likely to go off favourite, whereas 2021 winner Notachance could provide each-way value.
Prediction : 1st Guetapan Collonges 2nd Lord Du Mesnil 3rd Notachance

Ashtown Lad was a comfortable winner of the Becher and has to be of interest now back over timber, with November's third to Remastered at Aintree evidence that he can be effective at this discipline. He is still passed over in favour of GLIMPSE OF GALA, who has gone up 5lb following a four-length success at Kempton. She has been steadily progressive so deserved that victory and can follow up. Paricolor filled the runner-up spot at Chepstow over an extended 2m7f most recently and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Glimpse Of Gala 2nd Ashtown Lad 3rd Paricolor

A tentative nod goes the way of the Tom George-trained RASCAL. His dam is a full-sister to multiple Grade 1 winner Bellshill, who was also a smart bumper performer, so he certainly looks the type to make his presence felt on debut. Lily Grace is also by Blue Bresil and can be expected to mount a serious challenge. There are plenty of winners in The Cox Express' family and the youngest member of the line-up completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Rascal 2nd Lily Grace 3rd The Cox Express
