UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

SEYMOUR PROMISE posted another fine effort in defeat when second to an unexposed rival at Wincanton over 2m4f earlier in the month. The Joe Tizzard-trained inmate now steps up markedly in trip and a first success could beckon if finding any further improvement. Design Icon looks most likely to capitalise if the selections fails to fire after being nudged up 3lb for his runner-up effort over this distance at Southwell, with the in-form Nickelsonthedime making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Seymour Promise 2nd Design Icon 3rd Nickelsonthedime

HENRI THE SECOND boasts a Grade 2 success over timber to his name and wasn't disgraced when conceding weight to his rivals to finish fourth at Cheltenham last month. The Paul Nicholls inmate holds a leading chance dropping in class, with his main threat looking to be Pikar, who arrives on the back of a solid third in handicap company at the same venue and isn't taken lightly in receipt of 4lb from the selection. Last-time-out winner Pachacuti can claim the minor spoils.
Prediction : 1st Henri The Second 2nd Pikar 3rd Pachacuti

An impressive winner on both his domestic and chase debut at Hereford last December, IN EXCELSIS DEO has the potential as a five-year-old to go quite far in this sphere and, if so, a mark of 136 shouldn't be stopping him. With just one defeat from six to his name, Iron Bridge is a leading contender along with Knight In Dubai, who was narrowly denied over C&D on his latest start. Bowtogreatness and Galahad Quest both have the form to get involved.
Prediction : 1st In Excelsis Deo 2nd Iron Bridge 3rd Knight In Dubai

PANIC ATTACK wasn't disgraced in a decent novices' handicap at Cheltenham on Trials Day and gave the impression, as she has done all season, that going up in trip is what may be needed. She gets that opportunity now and, with the ground in her favour, the seven-year-old is narrowly preferred to the consistent Credo, who has not been outside the first two in her last four. A winner on her chasing bow at Wetherby, Midnight Mary is another key player.
Prediction : 1st Panic Attack 2nd Credo 3rd Midnight Mary

None of these arrive in any great form, though it may pay to side with chasing debutant STUMPS OR SLIPS, who wasn't beaten far at Worcester when last in action. Tom Weston's charge has run well off a break in the past and may be able to see off the likes of Muse Of Fire and Rock Of Star, who could be dangerous if putting it all together.
Prediction : 1st Stumps Or Slips 2nd Rock Of Star 3rd Muse Of Fire

AMARBELLE'S DREAM kept on well for second on her racecourse bow over an extended 1m4f at Wetherby last December and she is capable of putting that experience to good use. Only By Night makes her Rules debut following an emphatic win in a point-to-point last November and must be feared. Newcomers Baby Sage and Time In The Sun add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Amarbelles Dream 2nd Only By Night 3rd Baby Sage

Omaha Wish made a pleasing start in a point-to-point last October and must enter calculations on her Rules debut having cost 100,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale in November. However, ROGUE QUEEN lost little in defeat over C&D last November and is fancied to shed her maiden tag at the second time of asking here. Telepathique is another to bear in mind having kept on for fourth at Wetherby earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Queen 2nd Omaha Wish 3rd Telepathique
