1st (1) Bective Abbey (8/1 -220%)
Bective Abbey

8/1(-220%)
(1) Bective Abbey 8/1, £150,000 5-y-o, second foal, dam (h78), ran once over hurdles, half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Kilmurry. Won sole start in Irish points and sent off a warm order to follow up at Doncaster in December, only to finish mid-division. Surely capable of better.
Point winner; tailed off on sole rules start but retains potential and is not written off.

2nd (5) Fortified Fortune (100/1 -400%)
Fortified Fortune

100/1(-400%)
(5) Fortified Fortune 100/1, €50,000 3-y-o, £115,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Undisputed, stayed 21f, and fair hurdler Hidden Glen, stays 27f. Dam placed all 3 starts in bumpers. Runner-up sole start in Irish points and pulled up on hurdles bow in February.
Went very close in Irish maiden point but pulled up on rules debut in February.
3
3rd (6) Fourtowns (4/1 +11%)
Fourtowns

4/1(+11%)
(6) Fourtowns 4/1, Progressive in bumpers for Stuart Crawford and encouraging yard/hurdles debut display when fourth of 13 in novice at Newbury in February. Solid efforts in defeat since and that puts him firmly in the mix trying a new trip.
Solid profile; vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but respected nevertheless.

4th (4) De Tellers Fortune (7/2 +50%)
De Tellers Fortune

7/2(+50%)
(4) De Tellers Fortune 7/2, €32,000 3-y-o, £135,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Has an appealing pedigree and won between the flags in Ireland last year. Transferred to a top yard but shaped as though amiss on November's hurdles debut.
Good-ground point winner who was pulled up on rules debut, but on soft going.
5th
5th (2) Blow Your Horn (20/1 +39%)
Blow Your Horn

20/1(+39%)
(2) Blow Your Horn 20/1, Fairly useful staying handicapper on the Flat but well below that level in 2 3 hurdles outings and he might be one to flourish in handicaps.
Unable to threaten on his three hurdle runs but this Flat stayer is tackling further today.
6th
6th (10) Juan Bermudez (12/1 +0%)
Juan Bermudez

12/1(+0%)
(10) Juan Bermudez 12/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 2m. Ran poorly final 2 outings in that sphere and just a fair start over hurdles having transferred to another top yard. More to come, particularly over this distance.
Well-beaten third on hurdle/stable debut but this useful Flat stayer is not written off.
7th
7th (16) Opera King (11/1 +8%)
Opera King

11/1(+8%)
(16) Opera King 11/1, Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers in December and not discredited when mid-field in 13-runner Lingfield bumper a month later, outpaced before keeping on final 1f. Cheekpieces on for hurdles debut and third-place finish at Market Rasen was promising.
Promise in bumpers and on hurdle debut, and this 4yo is open to improvement.
8th
8th (13) Pertemps Diamond (40/1 +39%)
Pertemps Diamond

40/1(+39%)
(13) Pertemps Diamond 40/1, Minor promise first 3 starts in bumpers but achieved nothing on hurdles debut. Left Ian Williams but joined another successful stable.
Pulled up on hurdle debut but showed some ability in bumpers; makes stable debut.
9th
9th (8) Grain Trade (300/1 -200%)
Grain Trade

300/1(-200%)
(8) Grain Trade 300/1, Little in the way of solid form so far.

10th
10th (12) Pattern Cutter (200/1 -506%)
Pattern Cutter

200/1(-506%)
(12) Pattern Cutter 200/1, Hooded both starts and merely hinted at ability in bumpers in 2022. Since left Martin Keighley.
Has made no impact in bumpers and points and is probably best watched on hurdle debut.
11th
11th (3) Denburn (20/1 +0%)
Denburn

20/1(+0%)
(3) Denburn 20/1, Made a winning debut in a Market Rasen bumper in May. Fifth of 10 there under a penalty 6 months later and reportedly made a noise when pulling up at Newbury a month later. Since had a wind op and headgear also on.
Pulled up on hurdle debut but this bumper winner has had wind op since, which may help.
|PU|
|PU| (15) Zonda (13/8 +28%)
Zonda

13/8(+28%)
(15) Zonda 13/8, Boasts an appealing pedigree and has made the frame on all 5 starts, pulling clear of the remainder when second to an unexposed one in handicap company here (21f) last month. Sets the standard.
Runner-up in handicaps the last twice and sets the form standard in this line-up.
|PU|
|PU| (9) Joyeux Mans (300/1 -355%)
Joyeux Mans

300/1(-355%)
(9) Joyeux Mans 300/1, Pulled up sole start in points and ran to only a modest level when 10 lengths second of 4 in a Bangor bumper in December. Changed yards after and well held at Southwell 3 months later.

Red Ripple

300/1(-200%)
(14) Red Ripple 300/1, No impact in bumpers 7 months apart. Tongue tie on.

13:30 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Bective Abbey, a 150,000-pound purchase after landing an Irish point-to-point, flopped at a short price on his Rules debut in December, but it would be no surprise to see him leave that effort behind for a resurgent Nicky Henderson stable. However, preference is for ZONDA, who has finished a long way clear of the remainder when runner-up in a pair of handicaps at Wincanton and here last time. Those pieces of form read very well in the context of this event and Jonjo O'Neill's charge is taken to put his experience to good use. Fourtowns and point winner Global Focus are also of interest.

ZONDA is going the right way in handicaps and back in maiden company, he sets a fair standard for the rest to aim at. Fourtowns is the main danger on form trying a new trip, with Juan Bermudez a potential improver for his top yard.

Zonda sets the form standard but Nicky Henderson's pair catch the eye, with DE TELLERS FORTUNE preferred to Bective Abbey.

(6) Gwash 12/1, Point winner and also second in a bumper. Tongue tied and looked green when seventh of 13 in novice (15/2) at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Can take a step forward now with cheekpieces added.

Night Stalker

11/1(+67%)

4
4th (5) Golden De Coeur (11/10 +37%)
Golden De Coeur

11/10(+37%)
(5) Golden De Coeur 11/10, He's shown some fair form and arrives on the back of a good third of 9 in novice hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 71 days ago. Sets a good standard.
Unfortunate at Sedgefield (2m4f; made costly late mistake) in January; sets the benchmark..
5th
5th (14) Six And Out (12/1 +64%)
Six And Out

12/1(+64%)
(14) Six And Out 12/1, Fairly useful form shown in bumpers but yet to match that in this sphere, only fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.
Shown ability (bumpers & hurdles); a sound surface suits; first start since September..
6th
6th (8) Inside I'm Dancin (18/1 -300%)
Inside I'm Dancin

18/1(-300%)
(8) Inside I'm Dancin 18/1, 40/1, encouraging third of 10 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) on NH debut 17 days ago. Fourth on both his starts in Irish points too so he's much respected.
Placed on rules debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; 40-1); possible he can build on that here..
7th
7th (9) Moor End (80/1 +20%)
Moor End

80/1(+20%)
(9) Moor End 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden and has hinted at promise, a staying-on fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and not dismissed.

El Vigaro

150/1(-50%)
(3) El Vigaro 150/1, Unplaced both starts in Irish points and only poor form shown on both hurdling runs at Hereford this spring. Others appeal more.

9th
9th (2) Clatterbridge (200/1 -100%)

Noble Cave

13/2(+35%)
(11) Noble Cave 13/2, €65,000 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler Cobblers Dream. Dam, fair bumper winner, is a sister to useful hurdler (2½m-23f winner) Tornado Bob. Of obvious interest on debut.
65,000euros 3yo; fifth foal from a Punchestown bumper scorer (RPR 100); consult the market.
|PU|
|PU| (10) Motazzen (28/1 -12%)
Motazzen

28/1(-12%)
(10) Motazzen 28/1, A fair 14f Flat winner who built on his hurdling debut when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good) 13 days ago. May do better still.
Class 2 Flat winner at Nottingham (1m6f) last September; failed to shine over hurdles yet..
|PU|

(7) Harbour Bridge 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when last of 4 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy, 100/1) 71 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement.
Shown next to nothing since switching to hurdles (0-3); first start since wind surgery..
|PU|

Ropeman

150/1(-127%)
(13) Ropeman 150/1, 25/1, remote fifth of 6 in bumper at Worcester when last seen out 10 months ago. Returns for his hurdles debut with hood added.
Soundly beaten in three bumpers; rates as an unlikely candidate in newly applied hood..
|PU|
|PU| (15) Massima Bella (250/1 -150%)

(15) Massima Bella 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden pulled up in novice at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft, 200/1) on hurdles bow 36 days ago, never going well.

14:00 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The form of OLD TIME CHASER's NH debut fourth in an Ascot maiden hurdle last month has been boosted by the third winning since and Nicky Henderson's charge could take a big step forward with that outing under his belt. He gets the vote ahead of Golden De Coeur, who has run well in defeat over further the last twice and the point-to-point winner may find this trip more suitable. The latter comment also applies to Inside I'm Dancin, who made the frame over 1m7f on his hurdling bow at Wincanton recently.

GOLDEN DE COEUR possesses much the best form on show and looks to have found a good opportunity. Nicky Henderson's Ascot fourth Old Time Chaser appeals as the one to chase him home with Inside I'm Dancin, Noble Cave and Motazzen all in the mix for minor honours.

A perfect opportunity for GOLDEN DE COEUR to make it fifth-time lucky over hurdles. Old Time Chaser rates as the principal threat.

1
1st (10) Village Master (5/2 +9%)
Village Master

5/2(+9%)
(10) Village Master 5/2, Irish point recruit who left his novice hurdle efforts behind when making a successful chase and handicap debut at Hereford (21f, soft) 15 days ago. Should be more to come from him over fences, particularly now stepping up in trip.
Moves up in trip after scoring over 2m5f on this month's chase/handicap debut; big player.

2nd (9) Barrakhov (6/1 +45%)
Barrakhov

6/1(+45%)
(9) Barrakhov 6/1, Modest hurdler winner who has been below that level in his 5 outings over fences, finishing a distant fifth back from wind surgery at Ludlow on latest start 8 weeks ago.
Well handicapped on old hurdling form but needs to get his act together over fences.
3
3rd (8) William Ewart (10/1 -25%)
William Ewart

10/1(-25%)
(8) William Ewart 10/1, Justified support when scoring for the first time over fences at Southwell (3m, heavy) in February. Not so good when a well-held third on his 2 outings since so he needs the refitting of cheekpieces to help to spark him.
Won on heavy ground in February but not quite in same form on next two outings.
4
4th (11) Meranti (50/1 +0%)
Meranti

50/1(+0%)
(11) Meranti 50/1, Little impact over hurdles for current yard and never going well when pulled up on last month's Exeter chase debut.
Pulled up on both hurdling starts this year and also struggled on last month's chase debut.
5th
5th (6) Safe Destination (10/1 -43%)
Safe Destination

10/1(-43%)
(6) Safe Destination 10/1, Not the most reliable but has won at Uttoxeter and Ludlow at this sort of trip this season. Latest Huntingdon fifth was a below-par effort but he's a contender if on a going day.
2-6 over fences but wildly inconsistent; much depends on what mood he's in.
6th
6th (4) Getupearly (11/1 +21%)
Getupearly

11/1(+21%)
(4) Getupearly 11/1, Modest hurdler who has been well held on his completed start in handicap hurdles since returning from a year off. Remains to be seen whether a switch to fences improves matters.
0-9 over hurdles but his good-ground Irish point win bodes well for his prospects today.
7th
7th (15) Noah's Light (33/1 -65%)
Noah's Light

33/1(-65%)
(15) Noah's Light 33/1, Hasn't shown much in 10 runs in this sphere, beaten 41 lengths when third at Fakenham over Easter.
Hurdle winner in Ireland in 2021 but has struggled in modest handicap chases this season.
8th
8th (2) Steal My Sunshine (10/1 -54%)
Steal My Sunshine

10/1(-54%)
(2) Steal My Sunshine 10/1, Pair of handicap hurdle wins in the first half of the season but his form has levelled off since and he was pulled up on his Fakenham chase debut last month. Hard to be too positive after that.
Dual hurdle winner last year but has lost his way a bit; pulled up on recent chasing debut.
9th
9th (7) Furkash (9/1 -64%)
Furkash

9/1(-64%)
(7) Furkash 9/1, Fontwell novice hurdle success in 2020 remains his only career success but he's regularly placed over fences, finishing runner-up on 2 of his last 3 starts. Likely to be competitive again. Tongue tied first time.
Sound effort when second at Plumpton this month but now 0-17 over fences.
10th
10th (12) The Gambler (80/1 -142%)
The Gambler

80/1(-142%)
(12) The Gambler 80/1, Irish point winner last April. Also made a successful start under Rules in a Market Rasen bumper in June but has struggled since, including switched to fences for her handicap debut at Huntingdon at the beginning of this month. Has something to prove for now.
Well beaten on recent chase/handicap debut at Huntingdon.
11th
11th (13) Drumlees Pet (150/1 -500%)
Drumlees Pet

150/1(-500%)
(13) Drumlees Pet 150/1, Well held in bumpers/novice hurdles and showed nothing on last week's chase and handicap debut after an absence. First-time cheekpieces need to make a big difference.
Struggled on recent chase/handicap debut; needs huge boost from first-time cheekpieces.
|PU|
|PU| (3) Samourai One (9/2 +36%)
Samourai One

9/2(+36%)
(3) Samourai One 9/2, Left his hurdling exploits behind when scoring easily on his Market Rasen chase debut in February. Disappointing at Southwell since but there's nothing wrong with the Market Rasen form (had 3 next-time winners in behind) and could bounce back.
Quite impressive on chasing debut; ground put forward as excuse for subsequent flop.

|PU| (1) Jemura (14/1 -100%)
Jemura

14/1(-100%)
(1) Jemura 14/1, Has looked one of top stable's lesser lights so far, finishing only fifth on his Plumpton chase debut in February and pulled up back hurdling in cheekpieces last month. Blinkers the headgear of choice this time.
Made underwhelming chasing debut in February and was pulled up over hurdles this month.
|PU|

Grey D'alco

50/1(-213%)
(5) Grey D'alco 50/1, Made the frame on a couple of occasions over hurdles last season but has pulled up on all 3 chase starts this time round.
Pulled up in all three chases this season (2m3f-2m4f) and has a lot to prove at present.

14:35 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

VILLAGE MASTER made the perfect start to life over fences when winning at Hereford 16 days ago and, with improvement likely, a subsequent 3lb rise in unlikely to prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. Jemura was pulled up over hurdles but is an interesting candidate back over fences and with blinkers applied for the first time. Barrakhov was the subject of market support at Ludlow in February and, though he failed to fire that day, a 4lb ease in the handicap will help matters.

Plenty of runners but few arrive with compelling claims and VILLAGE MASTER rather stands out on the back of his recent Hereford chase and handicap debut success. Samourai One could give him most to do if recapturing the form of his Market Rasen win in February. Furkash is a long-standing maiden over fences but has regularly been placed in similar events.

Irish point winner GETUPEARLY makes his chasing debut from a tempting mark and should appreciate today's return to good ground.

Big Blue Moon

9/2(+55%)

On a useful mark if he can get back on track but reservations for now.

Pyffo

(2) Pyffo 7/4, Bumper winner who benefited from more positive ride when scoring easily in 7-runner novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft, 9/4) 25 days ago. Capable of following up back in handicap company.
Easy maiden winner last time but that race fell apart; well held in his previous handicap.

Halondo

28/1(-100%)
(1) Halondo 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Olly Murphy but signed off for that yard with a poor display at Fontwell 4 months ago. New stable drops him in trip and the market should be informative.
Handicap winner off 11lb lower; one to watch on first run since Boxing Day; new yard.

Beaten about 15l in all races this season and clearly needs to find a bit from somewhere.
5th
5th (4) Ashington (4/1 +43%)
Ashington

4/1(+43%)
(4) Ashington 4/1, Generally consistent and got back on his game when third at Sedgefield 149 days ago. Well treated and booking of Cobden indicates that he should be tuned up for this, so respected.
Dropped to a career-low mark; Cobden booking takes the eye on return from a break.
6th

Tardree

22/1(+12%)
(5) Tardree 22/1, All 6 career victories have come in small fields and he was more miss than hit last (mostly over fences) last season. Will probably need this return from 8 months off.
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; hasn't got himself together in four runs after a lengthy break.
7th
7th (8) Gentleman Jacques (9/2 +0%)
Gentleman Jacques

9/2(+0%)
(8) Gentleman Jacques 9/2, Fair form in bumpers and fair form to date over hurdles. Has to put a poor run at Hereford behind him but it's still early days (has had a breathing op) and he should be suited by the switch to handicaps.
Probably worthy of this mark and has had a wind op ahead of handicap debut.
8th
8th (7) Red Windsor (16/1 +0%)
Red Windsor

16/1(+0%)
(7) Red Windsor 16/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles last term but just one effort of note this season, down the field at Newbury last time. Others preferred.
Seems to have lost his form and appetite judged on last three starts.

15:10 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Pyffo cruised to success in a maiden event at Market Rasen last month and the unexposed six-year-old holds obvious claims back in a handicap. That said, the booking of Harry Cobden aboard ASHINGTON catches the eye and he might be worth taking a chance on. Mark Walford's charge hasn't won over timber since March 2022, but the nine-year-old has posted a number of positive efforts since then and finds himself on a competitive mark now. Halondo is another to consider.

PYFFO showed marked improvement when making all at Market Rasen and a performance of similar merit should see him go in again. Ashington is a danger if tuned up and Kintail is still unexposed, so he's not one to write off.

It's unlikely that dual course winner KINTAIL did himself justice on his handicap debut and he retains potential off this mark.

(7) Abaya Du Mathan 18/1, Back to winning ways in a match at Southwell (15.8f) in January and ran to a similar level when third of 4 in handicap chase over same C&D last month. Ought to give another good account.

(10) Tropical Talent 10/1, Remains a maiden under both codes but offered something to work on in this sphere when third of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) on chase debut in December. Not discounted.
Encouraging chase debut at Newcastle and he's back off correct mark here; each-way claims.

Famoso

14/1(-40%)
(5) Famoso 14/1, Consistent sort who has scored 3 times this term and arrives on back of another creditable effort when third in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, soft, 11/4) 16 days ago. Likely to go well again.
Triple chase winner who has finished placed at Hereford last twice; in the mix.
6th
6th (9) Pep Talking (10/1 -25%)
Pep Talking

10/1(-25%)
(9) Pep Talking 10/1, Left his hurdles form well behind when winning Huntingdon handicap (16.5f) on his debut over fences last month and backed that up with good second of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, soft) 16 days ago. Remains open to improvement.
Unexposed chaser but he jumped to the right last time and that could hold him back here.
7th
7th (6) Hidalgo Des Bordes (4/5 +64%)
Hidalgo Des Bordes

(6) Hidalgo Des Bordes 4/5, Promising individual who found significant improvement when making a winning chase debut in 11-runner handicap at Exeter (17.5f, good) 6 days ago. 7 lb penalty to carry now but likely has more to offer in this sphere yet.
Easy win on chase debut at Exeter and he's 6lb well in under a penalty; strong claims.
8th
8th (1) Zero Tolerance (28/1 -180%)
Zero Tolerance

28/1(-180%)
(1) Zero Tolerance 28/1, Placed in an Irish bumper for Charles O'Brien and made the frame in 2 maiden hurdles last season. Failed to justify support on return at Catterick in February, however, and bit to prove sent chasing.
Still lightly raced but he needs improvement on this switch to fences.
9th
9th (11) Shaw's Cross (66/1 -313%)
Shaw's Cross

66/1(-313%)
(11) Shaw's Cross 66/1, Veteran who gained his first chasing success at Plumpton (17f) last term and has largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Each-way claims.
Backward steps since since his second at Plumpton and this looks a tough assignment.
|PU|
|PU| (3) Barest Of Margins (6/1 +0%)
Barest Of Margins

6/1(+0%)
(3) Barest Of Margins 6/1, Made an encouraging start to his chasing career in 2022, finishing runner-up on all 3 completed outings in handicaps and ran to a similar level, back from 19 months off for new yard, when third of 11 in handicap chase at Taunton (16f, soft, 15/2) 14 days ago. Claims if building on that.
Good third at Taunton (2m, soft) on his return from a long absence and he's in the mix.
|PU|
|PU| (8) File Illico (16/1 -33%)
File Illico

16/1(-33%)
(8) File Illico 16/1, Won 4 times during a very productive first season over fences in 2021/22 but more miss than hit since and arrives on back of below-par performance at Southwell.
His last win was two years ago and has generally struggled since then; others preferred.
|PU|
|PU| (12) Captain Copper (66/1 +0%)
Captain Copper

66/1(+0%)
(12) Captain Copper 66/1, No real form over hurdles and fared little better on switch to chasing at Hereford earlier this month. Best watched from 4 lb out of the handicap.
Struggled over hurdles and was same story on recent chase debut; 4lb out of weights here.

15:45 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HIDALGO DES BORDES might be one to keep on the right side of over the coming months. Warren Greatrex's gelding bolted up on his chasing bow at Exeter on Friday and, should this not come soon enough, a 7lb penalty shouldn't halt his progress. Pep Talking hit the woodwork at Hereford last time out when attempting to follow up on his earlier Huntingdon triumph and he warrants serious consideration from an unchanged mark, while Barest Of Margins and Omaha Wish are just two others to consider.

It's hard to get away from HIDALGO DES BORDES, who was a decisive winner on his chasing bow at Exeter last week and looks well in under a penalty. Famoso and Omaha Wish are also of interest.

This can go to HIDALGO DES BORDES, who was an easy winner on his chase debut at Exeter and is 6lb well in under a penalty.

Take No Chances

13/8(+60%)
(8) Take No Chances 13/8, Point winner who was placed in bumpers and made a winning hurdles debut at Huntingdon in November. Has found just one too good on 2 of her 3 subsequent starts, just failing in a 3m Newbury handicap last month. Nudged up 4 lb for that but well worth considering.
Went close over 3m at Newbury and the winner followed up last week at Cheltenham.

Forget his Festival run on a couple of counts; reliable in the main and considered.

Capable mare but hasn't achieved much at all since winning at Plumpton in January.

Has been rather underwhelming since looking a handicapper to follow on reappearance.

Beat a subsequent winner at Exeter and this 5yo is improving by the looks.

(4) Glimpse Of Gala 12/1, C&D winner who developed into a useful and tenacious stayer last year, winning twice. Promising second on return/chase debut in October but proved more miss than hit in trio of hurdle runs since. Return to this venue may help at least. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces.
Tongue-tie added this afternoon but there are doubts about her at the minute.

16:20 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Having landed a warm premier handicap at Sandown in February, heavy ground might have been the undoing of SAINT DAVY next time out when finishing a distant sixth at Uttoxeter last month. This represents a drop in grade, however, and with forecast conditions set to be far different today, it would come as no surprise were the progressive seven-year-old to bounce back. Take No Chances found only an improver too strong at Newbury 34 days ago and appears to hold every chance from a 4lb raised mark, while Hyland, whose stable have begun to show signs of a return to form, should not be underestimated.

TAKE NO CHANCES was quick to dispel a mishap on her penultimate start when finishing runner-up back at Newbury 5 weeks ago, taking a while to pick up but ultimately just failing. Very much one to be interested in on that evidence, she looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Hyland returned to calmer waters and Exeter scorer Jupiter Allen head up the dangers, with Saint Davy another to consider.

A few with high hopes but TAKE NO CHANCES (nap) went close at Newbury last time and that form was franked last week at Cheltenham.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Those with previous experience are likely to dominate this field and while the likes of Ace Of Spades, Junker D'allier and The Two Harrys should only get better as they garner more knowledge, there ought to be plenty more to come from BRIDIE'S BEAU, whose debut second at Taunton was a respectable effort, despite obvious signs of greenness. Sure to be wiser on this occasion, the five-year-old can go one place better with a step forward here.

BRIDIE'S BEAU made a very promising start when second at Taunton last month and might be hard to beat with improvement on the way. Ace of Spades could have one of these in him, while Moran's Law is an interesting newcomer.

This looks an open bumper with a few holding chances. ACE OF SPEEDS may have been beaten by a smart one at Market Rasen.

17:30 Warwick NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Nicky Henderson has an impeccable record with his imports from France and DOCTOR MIDAS could be the latest recruit to positively enhance the statistics. A half-brother to a winner over hurdles in his homeland, the son of Doctor Dino ticks the right boxes on paper and is fancied to make a winning debut. Super Saint is an obvious threat to the selection and a big run from Bridie's Beau in the previous race would bolster his clams here. Chief Sunday is another potential improver to monitor in the betting.

DOCTOR MIDAS is interesting on debut and gets the vote before market clues. Super Saint made a promising start at Taunton and should go close if improving, while One Knight, out of a classy mare who won the listed Warwick Mares' Hurdle, is another to note first time up.

This looks the weaker of the two divisions. SUPER SAINT ran a nice first race at Taunton and could be the answer.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
