UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Despite being a beaten favourite the last twice, SOLAR SYSTEM showed more than enough on his comeback at Chepstow to suggest he can return to winning ways sooner rather than later. The use of Callum Pritchard further enhances his credentials and he gets a confident vote ahead of Baskerville, who has gone close on both handicap appearances. Cloud Dancer has to enter calculations too.
Prediction : 1st Solar System 2nd Baskerville 3rd Cloud Dancer

MA SHANTOU was well fancied for the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree where something was clearly amiss as the five-year-old ended up finishing last. He was no match for an impressive winner at Wincanton on his hurdling bow, but the third and fourth have come out and won since, giving the form a boost, and the step up in trip appears likely to yield improvement. Barlovento won on hurdles debut at Carlisle but has to shoulder a penalty and will need to be sharper in the jumping department, while point-to-point winner Rubber Ball is respected on his hurdling bow.
Prediction : 1st Ma Shantou 2nd Barlovento 3rd Rubber Ball

HELNWEIN landed a valuable prize at Sandown on the final day of last season when getting the better of subsequent Greatwood runner-up Be Aware and the six-year-old may well have more to offer tackling the larger obstacles. Booster Bob made a winning start over fences at Ffos Las and has already beaten the selection over hurdles in a Listed contest at Sandown. The application of cheekpieces might help Moveit Like Minnie and it is easy to see why Telepathique will have her supporters.
Prediction : 1st Helnwein 2nd Booster Bob 3rd Moveit Like Minnie

Pearly Island only found one too good over this trip at Huntingdon when last seen in April and he returns off the same mark today, but the vote goes to THE FLIER BEGLEY. Gary Hanmer's charge has really found his stride of late, winning over C&D before following up at Carlisle, and a further 5lb hike might not prevent him completing a hat-trick. Ballycamus disappointed on his reappearance last month, but he cannot be ruled out for an in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st The Flier Begley 2nd Pearly Island 3rd Ballycamus

Copernic Du Mazet looked the most likely winner before coming to grief two from home at Bangor last month and, if none the worse for that tumble, he should mount a stern challenge. That said, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful about the chances of PADDY IN THE CADDY. He travelled strongly into contention on his seasonal return/chasing debut recently, before weakening approaching two out. A drop in distance ought to suit on that evidence and, on his second start following wind surgery, he may step forward. Abaya Du Mathan heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Paddy In The Caddy 2nd Copernic Du Mazet 3rd Abaya Du Mathan

IKARAK struggled in a warm heat at Cheltenham in January before failing to fire in an equally as competitive event at Newbury the following month, but he might be the answer. Now in the care of Olly Murphy, the six-year-old will undoubtedly appreciate an ease in grade and he has gone well when fresh before. Butler's Brief, up 4lb having won at Bangor last month, is an obvious candidate, while Drop Flight kept on well over 2m4f at Carlisle latest and may fare better now upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Ikarak 2nd Butlers Brief 3rd Drop Flight
