UK Horse Racing Tips: Warwick

Douglas Dc was still going well at Worcester when coming to grief three out and is interesting, assuming that fall hasn't left a mark. 1-27 over hurdles doesn't inspire much confidence, though, and perhaps the safe play is the in-form SERAPHIC. He ran well here in May when third behind the progressive Wondering Why and recent Plumpton scorer Nap Hand and has returned from a break in fine form courtesy of wins at Stratford and Huntingdon. The Dubawi gelding has gone up another 4lb for the latter of those wins but stretching back out in trip can ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor. Mariole is entitled to have come forward for his Worcester reappearance and Mister Des Places looks the pick of the two Olly Murphy-trained runners.
Prediction : 1st Seraphic 2nd Mariole 3rd Douglas Dc

Largy Force looks well treated on these terms reverting to hurdles based on what she's achieved over fences, but there are question marks over the ground and whether this is just a pipe-opener. The market may tell us more, but it could be worth chancing her stable companion KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES because connections have booked Gavin Sheehan and Olly Murphy's charge boasts a rating of 110 in what doesn't look a particularly strong novice hurdle. He's undergone wind surgery since a disappointing Doncaster effort in February and was only beaten half a length into second by Moon Over America, a nice type who finished a solid second at Kelso on Saturday, at Market Rasen this time last year. Arcturus Flame is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Kefir Doudairies 2nd Largy Force 3rd Arcturus Flame

All four declared runners are making their chase debuts and have all got decent hurdling form in the book. However, CRYSTAL DAYS is 2-2 at this track and that swings the vote her way because she won her bumper here on good ground and underfoot conditions were the same when she bolted up in a maiden hurdle here in May. Expected to have been well schooled at home ahead of her fencing introduction, the Ben Pauling inmate gets the nod ahead of Fresh Perspective, who was tried in the Listed Sidney Banks over hurdles and represents another top yard. Soldier's Leap and Adonedeal couldn't be ruled out with any confidence either.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Days 2nd Fresh Perspective 3rd Soldiers Leap

BROADWAY HONEY goes from strength to strength and is difficult to oppose. The winner of four of her last five starts, she scored with plenty in hand at Huntingdon 10 days ago and the Twiston-Davies' mare looks one to keep on side, despite a 7lb penalty. Ignore The Door will be sharper for last month's second at Stratford and another good account seems assured, while Yes Day will appreciate this return to a shorter trip and is preferred to Jupiter Des Bordes of the remaining pair.
Prediction : 1st Broadway Honey 2nd Ignore The Door 3rd Yes Day

PADDY DE POLE looks worth sticking with after scoring at Sedgefield in September. Paul Nicholls' charge beat only two rivals on that occasion, but the runner-up has subsequently won and a 2lb rise could prove lenient. The winner at Uttoxeter in the summer, Oakley cannot be ruled out in this lower grade, while Jackstell can make his presence felt off his current mark.
Prediction : 1st Paddy De Pole 2nd Oakley 3rd Jackstell

Tropical Talent struggled on the Flat last time out but has been knocking on the door in this discipline and might show improved form now sporting first-time blinkers. Alba Crus was still there with every chance when he made a mistake and unseated his rider two out on chase debut at Worcester but, even so, MARY looks to be the one. She remains winless from seven starts over fences but showed a lot more at Sedgefield last time and Ian Williams' mare won a handicap hurdle here last year on good ground by six and a half lengths off 2lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Mary 2nd Tropical Talent 3rd Alba Crus

The market should tell us more in this bumper for three-year-old fillies where previous form is thin on the ground. The Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls team are in good form and KATIES TURN is an obvious starting place as she boasts a lovely pedigree and connections have booked Jonathan Burke, which screams confidence. Similar sentiments apply to Sunshine Sheila and she is partnered by 7lb claimer Harry Brown, while Poppy's Mist and Star Of Joy are also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Katies Turn 2nd Sunshine Sheila 3rd Poppys Mist
