UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

This represents a significant drop in grade for LIME DROP, having been outclassed at Exeter last time out, and she is best judged on her penultimate success over this distance at Uttoxeter. A mark of 115 still looks manageable, and she is preferred to Ostrava Du Berlais, who was a progressive sort earlier in the season and showed some promise when third at Ludlow last month. Happy D'ex has yet to click since joining new connections, but she is well-handicapped compared to her hurdles mark.
Prediction : 1st Lime Drop 2nd Ostrava Du Berlais 3rd Happy Dex

KING ULANDA produced a comfortable success on his handicap debut at Musselburgh and the five-year-old is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. He can follow up off 8lb higher here. A respectable third when looking to land the double at Bangor-on-Dee last time out, The Grey Man is a key player, along with Don Rafael, who has strong claims on his success at Hereford.
Prediction : 1st King Ulanda 2nd The Grey Man 3rd Don Rafael

A winner of a Listed contest at Musselburgh last month before going on to finish runner-up in the Adonis, ST PANCRAS sets a lofty standard and it is difficult to look past him on the drop in class. Woodland Park impressed when scoring easily over further at Leicester in November and he could be be thereabouts, along with HMS President.
Prediction : 1st St Pancras 2nd Woodland Park 3rd HMS President

Dominic's Fault still had every chance when brought down three out at Sandown in January and he boasts leading claims. However, the vote goes to GENTLEMAN JACQUES, who justified favouritism by 12 lengths at Wincanton on his latest outing and has a 11lb higher rating to contend with. This requires a career-best effort, but he might be up to the task. Noble Park warrants a market check on his handicap bow for his powerful connections.
Prediction : 1st Gentleman Jacques 2nd Dominics Fault 3rd Noble Park

SOLE SOLUTION may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests when scoring by half a length at Sandown last month and is only 5lb higher for that success. Venetia Williams' seven-year-old could have more to offer on only his second handicap start and may prove tough to beat. Woodie Flash got up in the final strides to strike in a warmer event at Chepstow last time and is a previous C&D winner to take seriously. Of the remainder, An Tailliur makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Sole Solution 2nd Woodie Flash 3rd An Tailliur

This cold be a gruelling test and although Sound And Fury and Illico De Cotte have both been in good form of late, both will be stepping into the unknown when they approach the latter stages. That's not the case with THE BIG BREAKAWAY, who has finished second on his last two attempts over this distance and his proven stamina earns him the vote after a zestful effort with a first-time visor (retained) tried at Bangor last month. Doncaster winner Northern Poet is another solid contender.
Prediction : 1st The Big Breakaway 2nd Sound And Fury 3rd Illico De Cotte

Les's Destiny Star and Destination Dubai are the most notable of the three previous bumper winners but their 7lb penalties have to be a concern. However, WILSTAR, who is a half-brother to none other than Jonbon and Douvan, is the one who appeals most on pedigree. A hint of the ability of those two top-class siblings would make Olly Murphy's newcomer hard to beat. The class-dropping Settle Down Jill could be the biggest danger to the selection on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Wilstar 2nd Settle Down Jill 3rd Less Destiny Star
