13:30 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 25f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +30%) Exmoor Forest	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(2) Exmoor Forest 3.5/1, Left previous efforts well behind on first run since leaving Ben Lund when third in 10-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 200/1) and backed that up when fourth on handicap debut at Exeter. Should stay this far and respected. Sound effort when fourth in recent 2m5f handicap; probably on the premises again here.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.5/1 +20%) Hauraki Gulf	1.5 1.5/1(+20%)	(4) Hauraki Gulf 1.5/1, Winner of sole bumper start and has made the frame on each of his 5 starts over hurdles. Drop back in trip probably wasn't ideal when runner-up over 19f in a Warwick novice last time and makes plenty of appeal going back up in distance. Course bumper winner; second on last four hurdling starts; major player again.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -140%) Global Famenglory	6 6/1(-140%)	(5) Global Famenglory 6/1, Fair hurdler who shaped well after 11 months off when second in 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) and backed that up when filling same spot in maiden hurdle at Haydock. Worth a shot at this longer trip so needs considering. Second in a handicap and a maiden on last two starts; new trip today; in the mix.
4	3 4th (3) (2.5/1 +9%) Good Work	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(3) Good Work 2.5/1, Arrives on the back of 6 successive runner-up efforts over fences but it's possibly no coincidence that he hasn't managed to get his head in front. However, is the clear pick on form if translating that ability back over hurdles. Second in six consecutive handicap chases; should go well on first hurdle run since 2020.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 +44%) Come On Me Babby	14 14/1(+44%)	(1) Come On Me Babby 14/1, Westerner gelding. Brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful 2½m chase winner Pass The Ball. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to very smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Cane Brake. Has a nice pedigree but probably best watched on belated debut. Brother to a fairly useful hurdler; has fairly good standard to reach on belated debut.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information given, the horse that is likely to do well is the one described as a major player again, having won a sole bumper start and made the frame on each of their five starts over hurdles. They also appeal going back up in distance after a recent runner-up finish. Unfortunately, the summary does not provide the name of this horse.

Hauraki Gulf rates a key player based on his proven effectiveness at this particular course. He won a bumper here on his racecourse bow and has subsequently gone close twice on the hurdles circuit. However, this is his first attempt beyond an extended 2m7f and he is taken on with GOOD WORK, who was a fine second over an extended 3m1f over fences here on his penultimate start. Racing in cheekpieces (retained) seems to have prompted improvement from the selection and his proven stamina earns him the vote. Global Famenglory also has a chance.

This looks competitive despite the small field but HAURAKI GULF appeals as the most solid option stepping up to a trip he should relish. Good Work has proved frustrating over fences but a switch back to hurdling could suit and he certainly has the ability to win this, so rates the main threat.

Course bumper winner HAURAKI GULF has the best hurdling form and scores very good marks for consistency, so he gets the vote.

14:02 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (8/1 +20%) Emily's Star	8 8/1(+20%)	(4) Emily's Star 8/1, Quite a good pedigree but well held in a warm Ascot bumper in November 2021 and seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles. Respectable fifth at Ludlow last month; ought to collect a minor prize here.
1	7 1st (7) (0.15/1 +48%) Queens Gamble	0.15 0.15/1(+48%)	(7) Queens Gamble 0.15/1, Won her first 2 starts in mares' bumpers at Cheltenham, including a listed event in November. Ran well in defeat conceding 4 lb to one better suited by the test of speed at Market Rasen next time before mid-field in Champion Bumper at the Festival. Should outclass these on hurdles bow. Listed bumper winner who has been found a simple task on today's hurdling debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (50/1 +38%) Ede'iffs Rock	50 50/1(+38%)	(3) Ede'iffs Rock 50/1, Saddler's Rock mare who is bred to be a stayer and shaped with a little encouragement with that in mind when third in a Warwick bumper on debut. Pulled too hard at Taunton next time, however. Makes hurdles debut. Third in course bumper on debut in March but soundly beaten since.
3	9 3rd (9) (14/1 -40%) Energy Two	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Energy Two 14/1, Kayf Tara filly. Dam 2m hurdle winner, also 10.7f-1½m winner on Flat. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up in bumper at Warwick but fared much better when third of 10 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Bettered inauspicious bumper debut when third in modest maiden hurdle last month.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 +29%) Stargazer Belle	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Stargazer Belle 20/1, Showed little in bumpers and fared no better sent hurdling at Huntingdon/Stratford. Not beaten that far in Stratford maiden last month but needs to improve again here.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +18%) Bleue Verte	9 9/1(+18%)	(1) Bleue Verte 9/1, Showed ability when 29½ lengths fifth of 10 in fillies event at Moulins on hurdling debut for Francois Nicolle, weakening before 2 out. Makes British/yard debut. Beaten about 30l when fifth of ten on debut in France (2m1f, soft) in September.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 +50%) Kylenoe Dancer	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Kylenoe Dancer 50/1, No impact in 4 starts over hurdles to date and surely booked for another struggle here. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. Displayed ability in bumpers last season but has struggled to get competitive over hurdles.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (9/1 +44%) Night On The Town	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Night On The Town 9/1, Showed ability in bumpers, placed at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter. Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut. Displayed clear promise in three run-of-the-mill bumpers in early part of last season.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 +50%) Dooby	100 100/1(+50%)	(2) Dooby 100/1, Showed nothing in a bumper/3 hurdles, including on belated return. Hooded. Well beaten at triple-digit odds on all three hurdling starts.

LTO Selection:

14:02 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.29/1 (7) QUEENS GAMBLE seems like the most likely horse to do well on today's hurdling debut, as she has already had success in mares' bumpers, including a listed event. Emilly's Star and 10/1 (9) ENERGY TWO may also perform well, but their pedigrees and recent performances suggest they may not be as strong as 0.29/1 (7) QUEENS GAMBLE. The other horses in the summary seem to have struggled in past races and may not be expected to do as well in this one.

It's hard to ignore the fact that QUEENS GAMBLE was considered good enough to contest the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and she is difficult to oppose now she lines up over hurdles for the first time. Her previous form in bumpers, which includes a Listed race win at Prestbury Park, far outstrips that of today's opposition and a winning start over timber looks highly likely. Energy Two and Emily's Star are suggested as the pick of the rest.

QUEENS GAMBLE stands out a mile given her useful form in bumpers so shouldn't have much trouble making a winning start in this sphere. Bleue Verte showed ability on her sole outing in France and could be the one for the forecast.

Highly promising in bumpers, QUEENS GAMBLE ought to win this modest maiden hurdle easily.

14:37 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -71%) Hystery Bere	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Hystery Bere 6/1, Fairly useful performer over hurdles (3-time winner) and not for the first time was notably strong at the finish when fourth in 12-runner Cheltenham handicap (20.2f) 12 days ago. Whether the drop back to 2m on this sharper track will suit now chasing is open to question, however. Not an obvious chaser on breeding, but does start out back on last winning hurdles mark..
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 +29%) Herbiers	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(1) Herbiers 1.25/1, 5-time winner over hurdles who confirmed previous chase promise when off the mark in 3-runner novices' handicap at Newbury (19.8f) in March. Latest fourth in Silver Trophy at Cheltenham 12 days ago was a smashing effort and claims turned out quickly. Fine effort in a Grade 2 handicap latest; eased both 1lb and markedly in class; player..
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +40%) A Different Kind	2 2/1(+40%)	(2) A Different Kind 2/1, Useful novice hurdler last season and in-the-frame efforts in competitive handicaps at Aintree have bookended an otherwise indifferent campaign over hurdles. Does boast a background in points earlier in career and not out of things if building on latest effort. Back to some form at Aintree latest; eased another 2lb ahead of this chasing debut..
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 -11%) Mayhem Mya	5 5/1(-11%)	(5) Mayhem Mya 5/1, Talented in bumpers and, having looked a good hurdles prospect initially in 2021/22, she's got back on track this spring, adding to her tally at Sandown (2m) in March. Proved too free at Cheltenham since and she now tries her hand chasing. Niece of a Grand Sefton winner and may make a chaser, though could use a drop of rain..

LTO Selection:

14:37 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 8.5/1 (4) MASCAT seems like a strong contender as they have been consistently placing on all their chasing starts and have experience in both hurdles and flat racing. They have also doubled their tally over hurdles and made the frame on their last three starts over fences.

HERBIERS strikes as one with a bright future over fences and he is likely to find this a lot more attainable than the handicap he contested at Cheltenham last month. He was a highly respectable fourth that day and this less demanding test of stamina could be just what is required at this stage of his development. Hystery Bere has the ability to make a good fist of things and looks the main danger, with A Different Kind suggested as best of the rest.

HERBIERS matched his previous best faced with his sternest assignment yet over fences when fourth in the Silver Trophy at Cheltenham 12 days ago and, provided this doesn't come too quick, he looks to hold sound claims once more. A Different Kind, who returned to form over hurdles at Aintree recently, is worth a look now chasing, along with Hystery Bere.

Assuming he's over his Silver Trophy exertions, HERBIERS can exploit the drop in class, ahead of chasing debutant A Different Kind.

15:12 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -25%) She's So Lovely	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) She's So Lovely 10/1, Off 15 months ahead of 2022/23 and, sent handicapping, finished down the field on her first 2 starts of the campaign. In first-time tongue tie, encouragement when not beaten far at Chepstow (23.6f) last time and longer trip should suit with cheekpieces now on. 0-6 over hurdles but not beaten far last time and might be aided by new cheekpieces today.
2	10 2nd (10) (14/1 +58%) He Is A Cracker	14 14/1(+58%)	(10) He Is A Cracker 14/1, Having run to only a poor level over hurdles, improved when placed on both starts in chases in summer 2021. However, after 6 months off he finished well held back over hurdles when last seen in February 2022. Best watched on return. Not seen since a heavy defeat in February 2022.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -25%) My Girl Lollipop	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) My Girl Lollipop 5/1, Showed little on first 3 starts in 2022/23 but returned to form when second here (3m2f) in March, suited by the step up in trip. Backed up that effort when third at Southwell (24.3f) 19 days ago and she can give another good account. 0-9 over hurdles but back in form with two good efforts this spring; respected.
4	9 4th (9) (8.5/1 +58%) Loch Garman Aris	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(9) Loch Garman Aris 8.5/1, Dual scorer over fences at Bangor in May 2021 but subsequently lost his way over the bigger obstacles. Back over hurdles, has fared better on his last 2 starts but still looks to be vulnerable to his younger rivals. Out of form over fences last season but last month's two hurdle runs offer renewed hope.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 +0%) Dellboy Trotter	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Dellboy Trotter 10/1, Recorded back-to-back handicap wins at Market Rasen (20.6f) in June last year. Held his form well subsequently and shaped as if better for run after 6 months off when fourth of 8 at the same C&D 22 days ago. Can give his running again. Consistent after his two wins last June and returned from break with decent run in April.
6th	1 6th (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Dev Of Tara	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(1) Dev Of Tara 4.5/1, In cheekpieces/tongue tie, opened account on second start for current yard in handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) in February. Not seen to best effect next time, but good third at Maket Rasen (23.1f) on his latest outing. Major player with cheekpieces reapplied. Came good in February but only third when warm favourite for next two races.
7th	11 7th (11) (8.5/1 -6%) Wide To West	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(11) Wide To West 8.5/1, Placed on completed start in points but has struggled in maiden/novice hurdles. Needs to leave his previous efforts well behind upped markedly in trip for handicap debut. Showed no significant promise in his qualifying runs but today's longer trip ought to suit.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mr Palmtree	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Mr Palmtree 12/1, Dual chase winner in 2020/21 before missing the following campaign. Back over hurdles this year, showed he retains his ability when successful in handicap at this course (3m2f) in March, though not in the same form when fifth of 7 at Sedgefield 15 days later. Wide-margin course winner in March and today's much quicker conditions will also suit.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +56%) Unspeakable	4 4/1(+56%)	(3) Unspeakable 4/1, Little impact on first 4 starts over hurdles but, in first-time tongue tie, showed much improved form when winning handicap at Taunton (23.9f) in March. Still signs of greenness last time, so he merits consideration now that he's up and running. Rallied well for narrow win at Hereford in March and remains very lightly raced.
10th	6 10th (6) (9/1 -29%) Blended Stealth	9 9/1(-29%)	(6) Blended Stealth 9/1, Remains a maiden following 17 starts overall but had been running well in defeat in 2022/23, unsuited by drop back in trip when fourth in a 13-runner Doncaster handicap (19.4f) in February. Disappointing last time, though, so bounce back called for. Versatile 6yo; made the frame a few times last season but is 0-13 over hurdles.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (40/1 +20%) Deer Hunter	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Deer Hunter 40/1, Modest form over hurdles for Harry Whittington in 2020/21, but has gone the wrong way in 3 starts for his current yard. After 25 months off, pulled up on both outings in 2022/23, so he makes little appeal with blinkers now reached for. Pulled up on both starts since returning from long absence; headgear switched today.

LTO Selection:

15:12 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Dev of Tara and 4/1 (2) MY GIRL LOLLIPOP seem to have the most promising recent form and are likely to be contenders in their respective races. 12/1 (5) DELLBOY TROTTER also has consistent form and may give a good account of himself. The other horses have various question marks over their recent form, so their chances are less clear.

UNSPEAKABLE appeared to relish a step up in trip when winning at Taunton 60 days ago and a subsequent 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to stop him following up. Dev Of Tara remains in good form, as does my My Girl Lollipop, and both must be considered, while Blended Stealth should not be underestimated either for Nigel Twiston-Davies.

With headgear/tongue tie added, DEV OF TARA has benefited from going back up in trip on his last 3 starts, getting off the mark at Fakenham in February before finishing third on both subsequent outings. He can resume winning ways with the cheekpieces refitted, though My Girl Lollipop and Unspeakable both also arrive in good form and are respected.

Low-mileage mare SHE'S SO LOVELY probably didn't have the race run to suit when a close fifth last time and might be the answer.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +33%) Catuaba	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) Catuaba 6/1, Irish point winner produced his best effort when a modest second in 4-runner novice at Doncaster in December. Since been well beaten at Taunton but opening mark looks potentially workable significantly up in trip. Handicap debutant; not easy to weigh up on hurdling form but is a point winner.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +33%) Jack The Farmer	4 4/1(+33%)	(9) Jack The Farmer 4/1, Lost his way for Ben Lund but shaped with plenty of encouragement when third in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. Made promising stable debut over 2m3f last month; tries a new trip today.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -17%) For Gina	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) For Gina 7/1, Just minor promise in bumpers and never dangerous all 3 starts over hurdles, though caught the eye finishing with running left under considerate handling when third in 8-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) in March. Interesting now upped in trip on handicap debut. Safely held on first three hurdle starts but ought to be more competitive now handicapping.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +56%) Hilltown	4 4/1(+56%)	(5) Hilltown 4/1, Fortunate when off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 21 days ago, set to finish soundly beaten by Dear Ralphy before that rival's late fall. Only 1 lb here, though, and does hold solid place claims. Came good at Plumpton last month and was nudged up only 1lb for that.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 +36%) Ben Bulben	7 7/1(+36%)	(1) Ben Bulben 7/1, Best effort in handicaps when fourth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (21.6f) in January but produced a lacklustre display at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 85 days ago. Bit to prove on first run since leaving Harry Fry. 0-6 over hurdles for Harry Fry; sold for £11,000 after 24l defeat in February; yard debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -80%) Kingsfort Hill	9 9/1(-80%)	(3) Kingsfort Hill 9/1, Good second in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell in March but disappointed in a similar event there last month. Nevertheless, he's a player on his best form and merits respect. 0-7 over hurdles but has strong claims if judged on clear second two runs ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Robbie Dazzler	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(8) Robbie Dazzler 6.5/1, In the frame 4 of his last 5 starts, shaping as if likely to come on for the run after a slight absence when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Should give another good account. 0-10 over hurdles but was second twice last autumn and ran okay in March, after a break.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 +65%) Tis But A Scratch	14 14/1(+65%)	(11) Tis But A Scratch 14/1, Poor sort ran up to his best when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Stratford (26.4f, soft) 8 days ago. Needs to improve to have the same impact in this tougher contest. Not disgraced on final two starts last season but yet to be placed after nine hurdle runs.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (18/1 +64%) Gone To Texas	18 18/1(+64%)	(10) Gone To Texas 18/1, Made the frame on 2 of 3 starts in Irish points but has pulled up on 2 of his last 3 outings in maidens and he looks opposable on handicap debut. Second in a point in 2021 but has cut little ice over hurdles; handicap debut today.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (28/1 +58%) Manofthemoment	28 28/1(+58%)	(2) Manofthemoment 28/1, Winning hurdler for Tom George but has shown nothing in a pair of outings for this yard having returned from a long absence. Back from long absence with two poor hurdle runs; cheekpieces added today.

LTO Selection:

15:47 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (6) DEAR RALPHY and 9/1 (5) HILLTOWN seem to have the strongest potential for success in the upcoming race. 2.5/1 (6) DEAR RALPHY had a strong debut before coming to an unfortunate end, and is expected to continue improving if they are not worse off for the fall. 9/1 (5) HILLTOWN had a recent win and was only slightly bumped up in weight, making them a solid contender. Other horses with potential include 5/1 (3) KINGSFORT HILL, 6/1 (9) JACK THE FARMER, and 12/1 (8) ROBBIE DAZZLER.

Hilltown kept on well to score at Plumpton last month but, though he merits respect raised 1lb in the handicap, forecast ground conditions might not be in his favour today. DEAR RALPHY was travelling best of all when falling two out in that same contest and he could make amends granted a clean round of jumping. Kingsfort Hill failed to back up his good second at Southwell when well held back there on his latest start but, if first-time cheekpieces can give him an added boost, he might have a say.

DEAR RALPHY was in control when falling late at Plumpton last time and though he's 4 lb higher this time around, he should have enough in hand to make amends. For Gina was eye-catching in a Market Rasen maiden last time and is a really interesting handicap debutante, with Jack The Farmer and Hilltown also considered.

Unlucky not to make a winning handicap debut at Plumpton last month, DEAR RALPHY can gain compensation here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -9%) Another Crick	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Another Crick 3/1, On a good mark (3 lb lower than for his latest success at Wincanton in January 2021) and arrives here on the back of solid placed efforts at Ffos Las and Newbury (both at around 2m). Key player with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue (has winning form at 20.5f). Second over 2m on last two appearances and today's longer trip also suits; considered.
2	7 2nd (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Across The Line	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Across The Line 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Dan Skelton and successful in a Stratford hunter chase for this yard last May. Has found life harder in handicap company since, though, and he makes limited appeal, for all that he has tumbled down the weights. On a good mark now but generally disappointing since last spring's hunter chase win.
3	8 3rd (8) (3.5/1 +50%) Small Bad Bob	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(8) Small Bad Bob 3.5/1, Maiden pointer who tasted success 3 times over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. Second in a small-field handicap hurdle at at Fakenham 3 weeks ago but shaped with little encouragement on sole start in this sphere at Chepstow in February. Well below best over hurdles last season and was beaten 67l on chasing debut in February.
4	5 4th (5) (5.5/1 +21%) Somekindofstar	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(5) Somekindofstar 5.5/1, In first-time tongue tie, made a winning start for current yard over C&D in September. Below part both starts since (with cheekpieces added to tongue strap) but headgear now left off and, given that he goes well fresh, it wouldn't be the biggest of surprise were he to bounce back with a bold show. Won very similar race to this after a break last September; back from another break today.
5th	6 5th (6) (7.5/1 -25%) Gentle Connections	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(6) Gentle Connections 7.5/1, Won 4 maiden/novice hurdles between April and June last year but has struggled in 3 starts since returning from a break in October, and again ran poorly back from another break in a handicap at Exeter. Hopes pinned on switch to fences sparking a revival and improvement. Four-time hurdle winner in 2022 but has lost her way; revival needed on chasing debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -80%) Romanor	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Romanor 18/1, Headstrong sort who bagged a trio of handicap chases at Newton Abbot in 2022, the latest off a 4 lb lower mark in September. However, was pretty much tailed off by the halfway point at Kempton when last seen in November and he's opposable back up in trip here following a break. Did well in early part of last season but not seen since below-par run in November.
7th	4 7th (4) (8.5/1 -143%) Fairway Freddy	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(4) Fairway Freddy 8.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Stratford (21f) in October and while his overall profile is somewhat hit-and-miss, he returned to form when finding just one too good off this mark at Plumpton last time. Going back up in trip here will help and again has his conditions. Not easy to predict nowadays but ran well last time and remains on a good mark.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (6.5/1 +54%) Sopran Thor	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(1) Sopran Thor 6.5/1, Ended last term in good form, runner-up at Fontwell and Huntingdon (awarded the race in the stewards' room at the latter venue). Well held on belated return at Sandown and was the only one to complete in a selling handicap chase at Fakenham last time, subsequent to which he left Gary Moore. Bought for £8,000 after finishing alone in a selling chase; faces much tougher task here.

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as each horse has both positive and negative factors to consider. However, 6.5/1 (5) SOMEKINDOFSTAR may be a strong contender as he has won a similar race before and performs well when fresh. Additionally, the removal of headgear may help with his recent struggles.

Sopran Thor was left to finish alone when his three rivals fell in a selling contest at Fakenham last month, but he remains of interest back in deeper waters. Preference, however, is for ANOTHER CRICK, whose recent efforts would suggest he could be ready to take advantage of a fair handicap mark. Somekindofstar likes it here and can't be ruled out, nor can Fairway Freddy, who finished a creditable second at Plumpton last time.

If, buts and maybes aplenty to ponder in this trappy-looking contest. SOMEKINDOFSTAR cut little ice when last seen at Southwell in November but he appears to go particularly well fresh nowadays (form figures read 121 on his last 3 starts when returning from a break of 3 months or more) and may be worth siding with here, back down to his last winning mark. Fairway Freddy returned to form when runner-up at Plumpton and he is second choice ahead of Another Crick.

This could be the right day to catch the returning SOMEKINDOFSTAR (nap), who won over C&D off today's mark when fresh in the autumn

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +75%) Izayte	3 3/1(+75%)	(5) Izayte 3/1, Fair form in bumpers but he arrives below par over hurdles, pulled up in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f) 81 days ago. Lots more is needed after a break. Yet to really fire over hurdles, including when backed latest; still early days but risky.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Parc D'Amour	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Parc D'Amour 2.75/1, Bumper winner who posted a good second of 10 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 112 days ago. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Bumper winner; promise over hurdles and can fare better now handicapping at a modest level.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 -105%) Elios D'or	2.25 2.25/1(-105%)	(3) Elios D'or 2.25/1, Won 4 times over fences and again back hurdling following a break in conditional jockeys' handicap at Kempton (16f, heavy) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Big shout off an unchanged mark. Returned from break to win conditionals' hurdle last week; no penalty; of obvious interest.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -136%) Flintstone	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Flintstone 33/1, Made a winning start over hurdles for current stable at Stratford in August but off for 6 months since coming in last of 11 in handicap over C&D. Needs to hit the ground running. Won weak race on hurdle debut last Aug; off since heavy defeat on h'cap debut (C&D) in Oct.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +36%) Bannister	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Bannister 9/1, Dual 2m winner of Worcester handicaps in the summer but ended 2022 in disappointing fashion and below-par Exeter sixth after 6 months off 20 days ago. Needs to step forward. Two wins at Worcester last summer; sharper for recent return and he's on a good mark.
6th	4 6th (4) (8.5/1 -89%) Fancy Stuff	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(4) Fancy Stuff 8.5/1, Fair bumper winner who is in good nick over hurdles, prominent long way when sixth of 10 in 2m3f Warwick handicap last month. Considered back in trip. Disappointing fav on h'cap debut here (2m3f) latest; return to 2m can help; best on soft.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +38%) Pride Of Hawridge	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Pride Of Hawridge 10/1, Arrives in decent nick, in fourth when fell last in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time and needs considering. Ran okay on handicap hurdle debut in Feb; less good since; blinkers now reached for.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 +18%) Scattercash	66 66/1(+18%)	(8) Scattercash 66/1, Winning pointer who offered little in 4 starts over hurdles and on chasing debut at Sedgefield 14 monhs ago for Laura Morgan. Pulled up in a point 92 days ago so hard to warm to. Poor rules form; failed to complete in 3 points this winter; hard to fancy on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

16:57 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it seems like 1.2/1 (3) ELIOS D'OR and 4/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR have the strongest potential for success in their upcoming races. 1.2/1 (3) ELIOS D'OR has recently won a hurdles race and is returning with no penalty, making him an obvious favorite. 4/1 (2) PARC D'AMOUR has shown promise in previous races and is now making his handicap hurdle debut, which could potentially lead to a strong performance. The other horses have either shown inconsistent form or have yet to prove themselves in hurdles racing.

Parc D'amour has shaped with promise over hurdles so far, including when runner-up at Taunton in January, and the six-year-old is entitled to step forward on his handicap debut. That said, he may have his work cut out against ELIOS D'OR, who escapes a penalty for his Kempton success last Monday, having won a conditionals' event, and has the additional bonus of his rider being able to utilise his 3lb claim on this occasion. The drop back to 2m is likely to benefit Fancy Stuff, who didn't appear to stay on her latest outing at this track.

ELIOS D'OR took full advantage of a reduced mark back hurdling when going in at Kempton last week and escapes a penalty for that conditional jockeys' success so is impossible to oppose. In-form pair Fancy Stuff and Pride Of Hawridge appeal as best equipped to give Robert Walford's 9-y-o most to do and can chase home the selection in that order.

Bannister can step up on his reappearance effort but handicap debutant PARC D'AMOUR is tentatively preferred.

17:32 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (7/1 +56%) Cluain Aodha	7 7/1(+56%)	(2) Cluain Aodha 7/1, Course winner in March who wasn't digraced when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wincanton (21.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago, benefiting from return to patient tactics. Shortlisted. Off the mark here (2m3f) two runs ago but not in same form on latest outing.
1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -155%) Blue Bikini	7 7/1(-155%)	(1) Blue Bikini 7/1, Resumed her progress after a break when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so she's firmly in the mix despite taking a 6 lb rise. 3-7 over hurdles after clear win last month but doesn't always warm to the task.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 +44%) Passing Reflection	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Passing Reflection 9/1, Has failed to build on his Doncaster novice hurdle second, goint too keenly when last of 4 in handicap at Newbury (18.8f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Last of four in tactical race on handicap debut but probably still has potential.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +18%) Walk Of No Shame	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Walk Of No Shame 9/1, Scored at Lingfield in February but her run of good form ended when only sixth of 9 in handicap at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 37 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Disappointed in valuable series final on handicap debut but remains unexposed.
4	15 4th (15) (100/1 +0%) Diamond Rose	100 100/1(+0%)	(15) Diamond Rose 100/1, It's now 20 runs since her last win in 2019. Pulled up in handicap chase at Ludlow 152 days ago. Hard to warm to back in this sphere after another break. Not seen since running poorly in a chase in November and is 4lb wrong here.
5th	13 5th (13) (22/1 +21%) Treefinch	22 22/1(+21%)	(13) Treefinch 22/1, Fair form to twice make the frame in maiden/novice hurdles this term but only seventh switched to handicap company at Uttoxeter and Huntingdon on her last 2 runs. Others look better treated at these weights. Didn't look straightforward when soundly beaten in first two handicaps; risky.
6th	14 6th (14) (10/1 +50%) Lady Pacifico	10 10/1(+50%)	(14) Lady Pacifico 10/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Leicester (2m) in 2021 but her record has been patchy since. Others appeal more. Ended last season with three respectable efforts but others have more pressing claims.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 +0%) Alchemystique	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Alchemystique 16/1, Winless since 2021 but she posted a good third on Flat at Southwell (16.5f) 31 days ago. Much respected back in this sphere in first-time cheekpieces. Placed in this race last year and returned from layoff with two good AW runs in March.
8th	8 8th (8) (3.33/1 +39%) Regal Renaissance	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(8) Regal Renaissance 3.33/1, Quirky sort who got back on track with emphatic success in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Not ruled out under a 7 lb penalty. 2-4 in handicaps after comfortable Ludlow win on Wednesday; carries 7lb penalty.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -40%) Jacks Touch	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Jacks Touch 28/1, Fair form when runner-up first 2 starts over hurdles 21 months apart but hasn't made much of an impact since, pulled up at Southwell last time. Others appeal more. Respectable sixth on handicap debut but pulled up since; not the percentage call.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (8/1 +20%) Just Go For It	8 8/1(+20%)	(12) Just Go For It 8/1, Dual 2m5f Wincanton scorer in March but below-par fourth back chasing at Hereford (20.9f) 25 days ago. Not discounted reverted to hurdles. Dual winner at Wincanton in March but probably needs a career best here.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (11/1 -83%) Forthegreatergood	11 11/1(-83%)	(11) Forthegreatergood 11/1, Easily got off the mark over hurdles in 2m4f Worcester novice back in July, 2021. Resumes on a very attractive-looking mark for her handicap debut so she's well worth siding with, especially if the market speaks in her favour. Easily won modest maiden in summer 2021; makes handicap debut after 648-day absence.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (14/1 -27%) Flying Nun	14 14/1(-27%)	(3) Flying Nun 14/1, Right back to her best when winning 3m handicap at Newbury in February but failed to back that up at Ludlow following month. More is needed after her break. Didn't have race run to suit last time; claims if judged on earlier Newbury win.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (25/1 -127%) Mistral Nell	25 25/1(-127%)	(10) Mistral Nell 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not the easiest to predict so others are still preferred. 0-6 over hurdles but ran quite well in first-time cheekpieces last month; back up in trip.
5	5 \|RR\| (5) (16/1 +0%) Energy One	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Energy One 16/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Ludlow in March and running with credit when saddle slipped and unseated rider last at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Considered. Won on handicap debut in March and not discredited on either start since; a possible.

LTO Selection:

17:32 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary, but 6/1 (11) FORTHEGREATERGOOD and 16/1 (5) ENERGY ONE are both mentioned as possible contenders. 6/1 (11) FORTHEGREATERGOOD is noted as being on an attractive handicap mark for her debut, while 16/1 (5) ENERGY ONE made a winning debut in a handicap race in March and has run well in subsequent outings. 18/1 (2) CLUAIN AODHA and 18/1 (9) ALCHEMYSTIQUE are also mentioned as shortlisted contenders, while other horses are seen as having less potential or being risky choices.

BLUE BIKINI ran out a comfortable winner of her latest effort at Market Rasen and a 6lb rise is unlikely to stop Fergal O'Brien's mare from progressing further. Regal Renaissance is turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty after her Ludlow success last Wednesday and is likely to be a strong contender. Others for the shortlist include Walk Of No Shame, who could bounce back from her Kelso effort, and Passing Reflection.

Fergal O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand here and his FORTHEGREATERGOOD could prove hard to peg back if she is on song after a long absence given her potentially very lenient opening handicap mark. Stablemate Blue Bikini looks the chief threat on the back of her emphatic Market Rasen success with Ludlow scorer Regal Renaissance the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Not seen to best effect in a tactical race last time, PASSING REFLECTION may now deliver on her earlier promise.

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.

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.
