UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

MARLACOO scored in the style of a smart prospect when running away with a Down Royal bumper on his debut in May and, having subsequently been snapped up for 85,000 pounds, he gets the vote to land the spoils on his first start for the Tom Lacey team. Last seen finishing third in the Grade 2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton in February, Captain Marvellous should find this company more manageable and he commands the utmost respect. Skiffle Man completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Marlacoo 2nd Captain Marvellous 3rd Skiffle Man

Dan Skelton appears to hold the key to this race, and his SUNRAY SHADOW looks the one to be with. He belied inexperience to get off the mark at the first time of asking in a bumper here in May and, with that experience under his belt, he may prove tough to stop once more. Stable companion Ronnies Rules notched up a hat-trick of bumper wins at Stratford this summer, and he can give the selection most to think about. The application of a hood can help Just Gino to be seen to better effect and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sunray Shadow 2nd Ronnies Rules 3rd Just Gino

JAYAPURA bolted up in a Dromahane point-to-point over 3m in April 2023 and it would be no surprise if she had enough in the locker to land the spoils in a race of this nature on her Rules/hurdles debut. Fellow point-to-point winner Hill Of Scarriff also warrants respect on her debut for Dan Skelton, while Lady Jago is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jayapura 2nd Hill Of Scarriff 3rd Lady Jago

The Olly Murphy team have been in good form recently and, with race-fitness on his side, ROCCOVANGO gets the vote. The eight-year-old made a winning chase debut at Worcester last month and with improvement likely, a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him. A classy sort over timber, Guard Your Dreams makes plenty of appeal now sent chasing, while Dan Skelton's Asta La Pasta appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Roccovango 2nd Guard Your Dreams 3rd Asta La Pasta

LONG DRAW pulled clear with an improver at Worcester last month and given that he has scope for further progress himself, the five-year-old is taken to go one better. Guard The Moon made all to land his maiden at Hexham in May and is of interest ahead of his seasonal return. Others to note include Minella Double and Panhandle Slim.
Prediction : 1st Long Draw 2nd Guard The Moon 3rd Panhandle Slim

Stable companions Jeffery's Cross and GOD'S OWN GETAWAY have the ability to take charge of a race of this nature and, while the former boasts commendable form figurers over fences, the latter has more scope for progression and shades preference with Harry Skelton aboard. Reilly completes a strong hand for team Skelton but perhaps The Flier Begley is more of a danger to the other two.
Prediction : 1st Gods Own Getaway 2nd Jefferys Cross 3rd The Flier Begley

Deep Purple and Clearisthewater boast strong point-to-point form and are notable recruits for highly respected yards. However, there is also lots to like about the profile of BITS N PIECES, whose dam was a dual winner on the NH scene in Ireland and the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained newcomer is suggested as the first to consider in a race where the betting should be informative. Kaylan should also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Bits N Pieces 2nd Deep Purple 3rd Clearisthewater
