UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

A 2lb rise for Ukantango's Hereford triumph could prove to be lenient and another bold bid is forecast. However, SO YOU KNOW's runner-up effort in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen 102 days ago reads well and an official rating of 111 looks workable. Aamilah Aswat is claiming 10lb off the five-year-old's back and that may prove decisive. Irish raider Mo Ghille Mar and the dropped-in-trip Newtown Rambler are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st So You Know 2nd Ukantango 3rd Mo Ghille Mar

Although underwhelming when pulled up on his handicap bow at Windsor, Great Fleet must enter calculations reverting to novice company. Wilstar is another who is likely to be in the mix after his Southwell success and is sure to prove popular with Sean Bowen back in the plate. However, the pair may struggle to concede 17lb to the four-year-old TALAKAN, who arrives on the back of a close-up second at Ludlow.
Prediction : 1st Talakan 2nd Great Fleet 3rd Wilstar

King Al has improved with each outing over hurdles, culminating in a triumph at Ludlow. The four-year-old is still open to further improvement and merits consideration, but WONDERING WHY is slightly more appealing. Ben Pauling's charge impressed when accounting for 17 rivals at Lingfield and there should be more to come. Ionian could figure if bouncing back to his Sandown form, while market support for hurdling debutant Road To Wembley would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Wondering Why 2nd King Al 3rd Ionian

James Bowen managed to keep a little in reserve aboard GOT A DREAM when he broke through over hurdles at Chepstow in October, which was evidenced when the partnership followed up over this C&D the following month. Another 5lb rise looks manageable for this progressive seven-year-old, especially as he has won when fresh before. Hereford winner Kel Du Large is another strong contender off just 3lb higher, while Ilitch and Thankyourluckystar merit betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Got A Dream 2nd Kel Du Large 3rd Ilitch

Alan King has his string in good order and IRISH CHORUS is an appealing stable contender after a win and a second-placed finish in similar company on her last two starts. Assuming she jumps with more fluency than she did at Taunton last time, King's mare could be tough to deal with. Bobbi's Beauty and Epinephrine are also in good form and make the shortlist. She Is For Me Boys could also figure on just her second start after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Irish Chorus 2nd Bobbis Beauty 3rd Epinephrine

SUPER SURVIVOR is the only one with a recent win to his name and resumes from a short break with a good chance of brushing aside a 5lb rise for his Haydock success before Christmas. This is a slightly deeper race and it's noteworthy connections opt to use a 10lb claimer for the competitively-weighted Porter In The Park, who could be the biggest danger on these terms. Big Cadillac is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Super Survivor 2nd Porter In The Park 3rd Big Cadillac

HOUSE OF HABSBURG created a good impression in defeat on his chase bow here in December and has confirmed that promise subsequently courtesy of back-to-back wins. He's got the odd mistake in him, something he needs to iron out as he continues up the class ladder, but he stays all day and this rise in trip should bring out even more improvement. Mumford's Magic won well at Doncaster and is another chaser on the up, while Jubilant enters calculations too.
Prediction : 1st House Of Habsburg 2nd Mumfords Magic 3rd Jubilant

Jetaway Holiday couldn't have won his point-to-point much easier and commands respect debuting under Rules for the powerful Nicky Henderson team. Pride Hill is a newcomer to watch out for and Merry Away has joined an in-form yard, but PRESLEY was noted as a potential improver when a staying-on third on debut at Chepstow and Dan Skelton's charge edges the vote.
Prediction : 1st Presley 2nd Jetaway Holiday 3rd Pride Hill
