UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME could quite justify even-money when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m6f in a Ballinrobe handicap last month and the drop in trip looks a good move. Willie Mullins' eight-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 115 and he is difficult to oppose back in maiden company. G A Henty could only manage fifth in a class 3 handicap at Huntingdon but needs to be respected against this level of opposition. Espoir Des Forges is another to consider after his third over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Onlyamatteroftime 2nd G A Henty 3rd Espoir Des Forges

CITY ROLLER finished more than two lengths clear of the third over an extended 2m2f at Stratford earlier in the month and is only 2lb higher. The six-year-old may appreciate this drop in distance and he can go one better, with his main threat possibly Come To Pass, who was a fair fourth at Hereford and more can be expected under Brian Hughes off 2lb lower. Of the remainder, No More Bolero makes the most appeal on his handicap debut over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st City Roller 2nd Come To Pass 3rd No More Bolero

STEAL MY SUNSHINE maintained a wide trip when finishing fifth over hurdles here recently, but he is worth another try over the bigger obstacles. The seven-year-old has Harry Skelton back on board and is comparatively well treated. The main threat might be Hold Your Fort, who makes just his second start for the Debra Hamer yard, and the first-time hood could eke out improvement for him to get closer. Phil De Pail is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Steal My Sunshine 2nd Hold Your Fort 3rd Phil De Pail

A 2lb rise for last month's Stratford victory looks more than workable for FINEST VIEW. Alan King's mare appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up and she could make light work of this small-field affair. She's A Saint was a useful performer during the 2022/2023 season, although the seven-year-old must prove her well-being on this return from a 445-day absence. With that in mind, recent Hexham fourth Tedley may give the selection most to think about.
Prediction : 1st Finest View 2nd Tedley 3rd Shes A Saint

Having finished a respectable second on his chase bow at Hexham earlier this month, HOME FREE looks more than capable of capitalising at this level. Dan Skelton's charge can put the experience to good use, and a 3lb higher rating shouldn't prove a barrier to success. His stablemate God's Own Getaway may be the biggest danger, arriving on the back of a narrow defeat over C&D. Le Cameleon also makes some appeal now dropping in class and trip.
Prediction : 1st Home Free 2nd Gods Own Getaway 3rd Le Cameleon

There is a strong suspicion that we haven't seen the best of Kintail and he merits consideration now encountering some quicker ground on his return from a break. However, THANKYOURLUCKYSTAR rates a more solid proposition having finished a good second at Bangor last month. The Alastair Ralph-trained eight-year-old may defy a 2lb higher rating and secure a first win of the year. Call Me Tara and Fair Frontieres are also worth a closer look.
Prediction : 1st Thankyourluckystar 2nd Kintail 3rd Call Me Tara
