UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

BELLE LE GRAND finished third at Ascot on her most recent start and now makes her debut over hurdles. The daughter of Universal has shown a fair amount of ability thus far in bumpers and can score. Last Note filled the runner-up spot on her sole bumper outing at Fakenham and has to be considered. Of the remainder, newcomer Hope Rising makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Belle Le Grand 2nd Last Note 3rd Hope Rising

OBSESSEDWITHYOU has occupied the runner-up berth over the smaller obstacles the last twice and now makes her chase debut on her return to action. Jamie Snowden's mare may have more to offer in this sphere and she looks the way to go. Point-to-point winner Queens Wish struck in one of her three starts over hurdles and is less exposed than her rivals, so has to be considered. Finest View looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Obsessedwithyou 2nd Queens Wish 3rd Finest View

GRANNY HAWKINS took a big step forward when finishing second on her handicap debut at this venue last time and is just 2lb higher. Alan King's six-year-old could have lots more to offer and will prove hard to beat. Miss Kassiopi made a promising first outing in a handicap when second at Stratford in March and has to be respected. Leave Her To Me is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Granny Hawkins 2nd Miss Kassiopi 3rd Leave Her To Me

Having secured a fifth career victory at Carlisle last month, I'm A Starman warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, the veteran is effectively 8lb higher without Callum Pritchard's 5lb claim and GALWAY REEL may be slightly better handicapped. Ian Williams' gelding ended 2024 with a good second at Ludlow and a similar performance on his return to action may prove sufficient. Harrys Hope is noted reverting to timber off a lower mark.
Prediction : 1st Galway Reel 2nd Im A Starman 3rd Harrys Hope

The introduction of cheekpieces eked out enough improvement in PEP TALKING to score at Hereford and Southwell in recent months and he still looks a step ahead of the handicapper. A 4lb higher mark for the seven-year-old's victory at the Nottinghamshire venue looks workable and a hat-trick may beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from last month's Newton Abbot runner-up Begin The Luck, while Catchim also looks capable of going close at this level.
Prediction : 1st Pep Talking 2nd Begin The Luck 3rd Catchim

A 154-day layoff and wind procedure worked the oracle for Soleil D'arizona when opening her account over hurdles at Haydock last month. An opening mark of 104 does demand more from Dan Skelton's mare, though, and INDEMNITY looks slightly more progressive. The son of Lope De Vega proved a ready winner at Huntingdon 16 days ago and a 7lb rise may not prevent him from following up. Uhtred Ragnarson may chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Indemnity 2nd Soleil Darizona 3rd Uhtred Ragnarson
