UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

TESTING PATIENCE showed the benefit of his opening fourth over hurdles at Kempton when finishing a good second at Fontwell. The six-year-old sandwiched himself between two useful yardsticks and a similar performance could see a breakthrough victory. Although Lightfingered Jack has an official rating of 113, his last two efforts left something to be desired so a bigger threat may emerge from Mr Finch, who arrives on the back of a respectable fifth at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Testing Patience 2nd Mr Finch 3rd Lightfingered Jack

Having ended last year's campaign with a good runner-up effort at Aintree, Lipa K must enter calculations on his return to action. That said, he is effectively 9lb higher in the ratings without Ben Smith's 6lb claim, which could leave the door open for the race-fit J J MOON. Emma Lavelle's charge bounced back to form with a close-up second at Newbury and a 1lb nudge up the ratings is workable. Handicap debutant Step Ahead is a feasible alternative stepping up in trip.
Prediction : 1st J J Moon 2nd Lipa K 3rd Step Ahead

The introduction of cheekpieces appeared to make a significant impact for KOSASIEMPRE when she landed the spoils over timber at Newbury. There could be more to come from the eight-year-old, with a left-handed track likely to help on her return to fences. Hereford winner Party Vibes shaped as if a step up in distance could untap some potential and she isn't taken lightly, while the hat-trick seeking Ede'iffs Rock will be dangerous if dictating the pace.
Prediction : 1st Kosasiempre 2nd Party Vibes 3rd Edeiffs Rock

Pretending returned to winning ways at Market Rasen in February and has been victorious in this grade before, so she needs to be taken seriously. Bangor victor Service Minimum is bound to have supporters for the in-form Skeltons, but SIOG GEAL makes plenty of appeal. Fergal O'Brien's mare was slightly hampered at the last before finishing strongly to hit the crossbar at Chepstow and she continues to go from strength to strength.
Prediction : 1st Siog Geal 2nd Pretending 3rd Service Minimum

Kally Des Bruyeres made every yard of the running to make it two wins from three starts since undergoing a wind operation and he holds an obvious chance. However, FORCETORECKONWITH struck by just over two lengths in a warmer contest at Newcastle on her latest outing and if in similar form, she will prove very hard to beat. Ballywood remains on a workable mark and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Forcetoreckonwith 2nd Kally Des Bruyeres 3rd Ballywood

The eye is immediately drawn to INION TIOGAIR, who is seeking the hat-trick after a facile success to complete a Chepstow double. Grace Harris' mare was hit with a 10lb rise for that victory, but competes in the same grade and is hard to ignore. Killycarn only found one too good in a deeper event at Musselburgh and the booking of Gavin Sheehan is noteworthy. Orange Diamond and Huntingdon victor Snapius are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Inion Tiogair 2nd Killycarn 3rd Orange Diamond

Move With The Beat put a modest fourth at Taunton behind him when regaining the winning thread at Wincanton and he merits respect given his upward trajectory. However, the combination of a return to class 4 company and a 4lb higher mark does demand more and Stratford scorer TWO TO TANGO edges the vote. Emma Lavelle's charge has performed with credit on all four outings over the larger obstacles and another bold bid is forecast. Claim Du Brizais and Moonshine Man are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Two To Tango 2nd Move With The Beat 3rd Claim Du Brizais

Nevada Samba was value for further when making a winning debut at Wincanton and he looks to have a bright future. That said, a 7lb penalty could leave him vulnerable, with LION ROSE SIVOLA shading the vote. A winner of his sole point-to-point, the five-year-old has posted two creditable runner-up efforts in bumpers and compensation could be imminent. For A Moment should appreciate a return to a sounder surface, while market support for newcomer Lightsoutandaway would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Lion Rose Sivola 2nd Nevada Samba 3rd For A Moment
