UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Stardrop was turned over at Stratford after racing far too keenly, but the reapplication of a tongue-tie might help him to relax. Scarlet Moon tasted defeat on his hurdles bow at Sedgefield and better is expected, but the vote goes to PREMIER. He made a pleasing start in this sphere to fill the runner-up spot behind unbeaten juvenile One Horse Town at Kempton and makes plenty of appeal with that experience under his belt. Watch the market with regards to Love You Back, with the stable doing particularly well in this division over the years.
Prediction : 1st Premier 2nd Stardrop 3rd Scarlet Moon

MOON OVER AMERICA finished second on his first appearance under Rules at Ffos Las in the spring and the point-to-point winner is expected to appreciate the step up in trip. Ice In The Veins sports a hood after pulling way too hard at Worcester. He is likely to bounce back from that effort, while the well-bred Lightfingered Jack, out of Mares' Hurdle runner-up Polly Peachum, and Piping Rock also appeal.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over America 2nd Ice In The Veins 3rd Lightfingered Jack

GO WEST completed a hat-trick over timber at Kempton in April before finding Listed company a step too far at Perth. The seven-year-old is expected to thrive in this discipline and gets the vote in what appears to be a competitive event. Josh The Boss was unable to make it back-to-back Silver Trophy victories at Chepstow, but is of interest now sent over fences. Despite having a 14lb lower hurdles rating than Jipcot, it would be dangerous to underestimate Silver Thorn following wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Go West 2nd Josh The Boss 3rd Silver Thorn

EZ TIGER landed this event from 14lb lower 12 months ago, but the manner in which he won at Plumpton last time out suggests he could retain his crown. El Borracho has tumbled down the handicap and should not be written off back over hurdles. Jet Patrol, who was pulled up at Southwell latest, is another who could benefit from a return to the smaller obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Ez Tiger 2nd El Borracho 3rd Jet Patrol

A few of these have the scope to improve over fences, but perhaps none more so than CHUGGY. Dan Skelton's gelding made a successful chasing debut/seasonal return at Uttoxeter and although a 6lb rise will demand more, he looks sure to progress further for a step up in trip. Zestful Hope thumped a subsequent winner at Huntingdon and must be respected from 8lb higher. It will be interesting to see what the market makes of fencing debutants Milan Tino and Jack To Bat.
Prediction : 1st Chuggy 2nd Zestful Hope 3rd Milan Tino

Ballynaheer continued his fine run of form when finishing a close-up second at Hereford and a 2lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another good account. However, reopposing fourth IRON D'EX was making his seasonal debut and the combination of a 2lb lower mark and reapplied cheekpieces could see him back in the winner's enclosure. The returning Mythe Bridge and course winner Moonlight Artist are worth a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Iron Dex 2nd Ballynaheer 3rd Mythe Bridge

Having got up in the closing stages at Chepstow, there could be more to come from GOT A DREAM. That was the six-year-old's handicap/seasonal debut and he may find enough improvement on this step up in distance to defy an 8lb rise. An official rating of 103 looks workable for Datsalrightcharlie and he is another who should appreciate this greater emphasis on stamina, while last year's winner Getalead isn't taken lightly either.
Prediction : 1st Got A Dream 2nd Datsalrightcharlie 3rd Getalead
