UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Scudamore showed more when returning from a break to finish second at this level at Sedgefield earlier in the month and can go well again, but it may pay to side with MR GRIFFITHS. The six-year-old made his way through the field to score by three lengths at Fontwell last month and a 6lb rise might underestimate the level of authority he showed that day. Pipers Cross is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Griffiths 2nd Scudamore 3rd Pipers Cross

Sinnatra got off the mark over 2m at Sandown prior to stepping up in trip when only third in a Listed event at Huntingdon earlier in the month. That form sets the standard, but the one that appeals most is FOUR SPRINGS. The five-year-old made a strong impression to score at Hereford before being a disappointing favourite at Market Rasen next time. Ben Pauling's charge has undergone a wind operation since and can bounce back. La Vish is best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Four Springs 2nd Sinnatra 3rd La Vish

Cabhfuilfungi finished a long way clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter, but will need to prove as effective stepping back up in distance. With that in mind, ALCEDO gets the vote. Only beaten a length into second in a warmer event at Doncaster in December, the eight-year-old competes off just a 1lb higher mark and looks the one to beat. Joker De Mai is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Alcedo 2nd Cabhfuilfungi 3rd Joker De Mai

Despite taking a keen hold, Kenzoko recorded his first success at Uttoxeter and the first-time hood might eke out more. He is considered along with the in-form Tigers Moon, but the vote goes to CHOICE RUNNER. Dan Skelton's gelding could only manage seventh on handicap debut at Wincanton last month, but now takes a drop back in trip and goes off a 2lb lower rating. With the likelihood of more to come, he looks the way to go.
Prediction : 1st Choice Runner 2nd Kenzoko 3rd Tigers Moon

Up To Trix has shown some ability in both of his outings over the smaller obstacles and would be of interest if the market speaks in his favour off an opening mark of 103. However, MINELLA DOUBLE looks the more solid option after returning to form when second at Huntingdon last May. Provided the eight-year-old is ready to go, he could be the one to beat. Harry Bright is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Minella Double 2nd Up To Trix 3rd Harry Bright

None of these are overly convincing but VOLEUR DE TERRES seemed to enjoy herself when winning at Leicester and a 7lb penalty might not prevent her from following up, especially if the forecast rain arrives. Only Gossip has a better recent completion record than any of them and she also needs taking seriously as she bids for a first career win under Rules. Lynsey Larue and Arctic Stream are others to monitor in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Voleur De Terres 2nd Only Gossip 3rd Lynsey Larue

JOLLIE DAME heads the shortlist despite the 100,000-pound purchase failing to build on a promising C&D second on her debut when a well-held fourth at Market Rasen last time. However, that was in a Listed race and Dan Skelton's mare can make the most down in class. Davita Blaze is bred along the right lines and looks the pick of the O'Neills' pair, while Sparkling Water and Dame In Disguise have scope to build on what they've shown so far.
Prediction : 1st Jollie Dame 2nd Davita Blaze 3rd Sparkling Water
