14:00 – Charlie Wilson Memorial Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fair maiden rather than a deep one, but there are some solid enough bits of placed hurdle form on offer. Testing Patience sets the standard on figures after his sequence of respectable efforts, most recently when runner-up, and he comes here with the strongest rating in the field. Mr Finch has a bit to prove after three defeats, though Ben Pauling’s horses are always worth noting in this sort of race, while Scottish Anthem took a useful step forward when second on his latest outing. Lightfingered Jack is another with the ability to get involved if building on his mark of 114. Beyond those, it thins out quickly, so this feels like a race where the market leaders should dominate unless one of the lesser-exposed types suddenly improves.
Top Selections
1. Testing Patience – 7/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Caoilin Quinn | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 8342 | Rating: 123 | Topspeed: 91
He’s the obvious starting point and, frankly, the one they all have to beat. Testing Patience has been edging towards a breakthrough, with the latest second the best piece of recent form on offer in this field, and that mark of 123 gives him a clear edge. He’s already shown he can cope with a proper gallop and this 2m3f looks well within range. Caoilin Quinn knows how to deliver one late, and the Moores do well placing these types. At 7/4 he’s no giveaway, but he’s the runner with the least guesswork attached and the strongest overall claims. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Scottish Anthem – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Charlie Hammond | Trainer: Stuart Edmunds | Form: P-2 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 87
For an each-way angle, Scottish Anthem makes more appeal than a few of the shorter ones because he at least arrives off a clear step forward. After pulling up on his debut, he was much more like it when runner-up last time, and that effort suggested he’s beginning to understand the job. A rating of 111 leaves him with a bit to find against the favourite, but this doesn’t look a brutal maiden and there’s room for another chunk of improvement. Charlie Hammond is a positive booking and 9/2 is fair enough in a 10-runner race if you’re playing for the places with upside. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Testing Patience is the straightforward win play because he brings the best form and the best rating into a race lacking depth. Scottish Anthem appeals as the each-way alternative, especially with three places on offer, as he looks the most likely improver among the main dangers. Mr Finch is the obvious threat if Pauling’s runner takes a step forward, while Lightfingered Jack is another to keep onside in the exotics.

14:30 – John Sillett Memorial Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a tight little six-runner handicap but not an easy one to solve, with several arriving in decent nick and very little separating the principals on official figures. J J Moon heads the market after a solid second last time and looks sure to be popular for Emma Lavelle, while Step Ahead is the unexposed one in the line-up as a 6yo who still has time to improve over staying trips. Lipa K brings the most solid recent profile, however, and his form figures suggest he rarely runs a bad race in this sort of contest. Benign Dictator is better than his latest effort, while Thank You Ma’am and Everyonesgame need to find a bit more. In a race lacking any real hiding place, stamina and a clean round should decide it.
Top Selections
1. Lipa K – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Charlie Todd | Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Form: 216132 | Rating: 128 | Topspeed: 127
Lipa K makes plenty of appeal in a race where reliability counts for a lot. Those recent figures of 216132 tell their own story: he keeps turning up and running to a solid level, and a mark of 128 still looks workable judged on that consistency. His Topspeed figure of 127 is the best recent blend of form and substance on offer among the leading contenders, and he looks the type to be suited by a truly run 3m1f around Warwick. At 4/1, he strikes me as the value against a shorter-priced favourite who has a little less room for error. He holds strong claims if reproducing his usual level.
Bet: WIN
2. Step Ahead – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings | Trainer: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls | Form: 3-2153 | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 107
Step Ahead is the one I would want on side each-way, even in a small field, because he still looks a progressive sort at six and that can matter plenty in late-season staying handicaps. His profile is tidy rather than flashy, but the 3-2153 sequence suggests he is holding his form well and should give another honest account. He is only 1lb higher than Lipa K on ratings and comes from a yard more than capable of placing one to good effect. The 11/4 quote is not wildly generous, but in a six-runner race with two places on offer he looks a sensible each-way punt if the race turns tactical.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lipa K is the win play because he brings the strongest recent body of form and looks sure to stay this trip thoroughly. Step Ahead is the each-way alternative, particularly for those who want to side with the younger, less exposed horse in a small but competitive field. J J Moon is the obvious danger after his latest second, while Benign Dictator could outrun his price if bouncing back.

15:00 – Sporting Agenda Challenger Series Mares’ Chase Final Handicap Chase (Series Final) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 3m 1f | Class 2 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a proper mares’ final rather than a throwaway handicap, and there are several with solid recent chasing form coming here at the right time. Theonewedreamof is the obvious starting point after a fair third last time and she looks the class angle in the race, but she is short enough in a field of 11 where a few arrive with momentum. Holetown is an unexposed 6yo who still looks to have more to offer over fences, while Realta Liath, Kosasiempre and the thriving Ede’Iffs Rock all have pieces of form that put them firmly in the mix. It feels competitive rather than impossible, with jumping and stamina likely to sort it out late on around Warwick.
Top Selections
1. Holetown – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Charlie Deutsch | Trainer: Venetia Williams | Form: 6-4613 | Rating: 134 | Topspeed: 116
Holetown appeals as the one with a bit more upside than most of these. She is only 6, already rated 134, and her recent profile suggests she is learning her job quickly over fences. That win two starts ago put her right in the argument for a race like this, and she backed it up with a solid third last time rather than taking a backward step. Venetia Williams knows exactly how to place this type, and Charlie Deutsch is the right man for a Warwick chase where rhythm matters. At 5/1, she looks a fair price against a favourite who has less margin for error than the market implies. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Realta Liath – 12/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Harry Bannister | Trainer: Warren Greatrex | Form: 4-1342 | Rating: 133 | Topspeed: 125
Realta Liath makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where consistency should count for a lot. Her form figures this season are rock-solid, and that latest second advertised that she is still in good nick without the handicapper giving her much relief. A mark of 133 keeps her competitive, while a topspeed of 125 says she has the engine to live with the principals if this becomes a proper test from some way out. Harry Bannister suits her style and she has fewer questions to answer than some of the bigger prices. At 12/1, she looks the value play for those wanting a mare likely to run her race and get involved. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Holetown is the win play at 5/1 because she still looks progressive and this final may have come at the right moment for her. Realta Liath is the sensible each-way punt at 12/1 given her dependable profile and strong enough speed figure. Theonewedreamof is the danger on class and recent form, while Ede’Iffs Rock is respected after back-to-back wins if coping with the rise in grade.

15:30 – KTDA Mares’ Challenger Series Final Handicap Hurdle (Series Final) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 2 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper mares’ handicap rather than a race to get clever in, with plenty arriving in form and very little separating the main players on official figures. Dan Skelton’s lightly raced 6yo Service Minimum is easy to see near the head of the market after scoring last time, while Crazierthandaisy, Pismo Beach and Siog Geal all bring solid recent efforts in similarly competitive company. Hard Dealt is another who keeps knocking on the door, though there is a slight suspicion she’s becoming expensive to follow. The weights make it interesting too, with Audacious Annie lurking on a handy mark and Greyval well treated if bouncing back. Strong race, deep enough for four places, but still one where current momentum and a touch of tactical speed should count for plenty around Warwick.
Top Selections
1. Crazierthandaisy – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Nico de Boinville | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: 01P402 | Rating: 128 | Topspeed: 126
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few have obvious chances but not many arrive with quite the same blend of class and current sharpness. That latest second suggested she is ready to strike again, and a mark of 128 still looks workable for a mare with her engine. The Topspeed figure of 126 is the best in the field, which matters in a race likely to be run at an honest clip, and Henderson’s mare has the profile of one who can travel strongly and settle it after the last. At 9/2, she looks fairly priced rather than flashy, but sometimes that is exactly the right bet. Bet: WIN
2. Audacious Annie – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Jamie Snowden | Form: -66254 | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 127
She’s the each-way angle in a race full of well-fancied mares because there is enough in her recent profile to think she can outrun an 8/1 quote. Her form figures do not scream winner, but they do show consistency in stronger handicaps, and that 127 Topspeed figure says she has the raw ability to mix it with the principals. Carrying 152, she is not badly treated at all, and Warwick’s test should suit a mare who can keep galloping when others have cried enough. Gavin Sheehan is a positive booking for this sort of contest, and with four places on offer she looks the value each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Crazierthandaisy is the win play: she has the strongest recent blend of form and speed figures, and this looks a good spot to cash in. Audacious Annie is the each-way alternative at a more forgiving price, especially with four places available. The obvious dangers are Service Minimum, who is progressive, and Siog Geal, whose recent form entitles her to serious respect.

16:00 – Vanessa Littler’s 60th Birthday Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a competitive little Class 5 chase rather than a race full of certainty, and the market has understandably centred on the in-form pair Forcetoreckonwith and Kally Des Bruyeres. The former arrives off a deserved win after knocking on the door, while Kally has won two of his last three and is clearly thriving. Lunar Ocean is another with solid recent placed form and a handy racing weight, while Zoeman has figures that give him a squeak if sharpening up. At the other end, Ironica De Thaix has plenty to prove after a couple of non-completions. Over this sharp 2m, slick jumping and tactical speed should count for plenty, and this feels the sort of race where one mistake can reshuffle everything.
Top Selections
1. Forcetoreckonwith – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Charlie Todd | Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Form: 024321 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 96
He makes plenty of appeal as the solid option in a race where not all of them arrive in the same nick. Those recent figures tell the story: he had been edging towards a win and duly delivered last time, and it was the profile of a horse who has found his level rather than one scraping home. A mark of 104 still looks manageable, and Charlie Todd keeps the partnership intact. He is not thrown in, but he does bring the most dependable recent chase form to the table and, at 5/2, he is the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Lunar Ocean – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Billy Aprahamian | Form: 262524 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 101
He has become a little expensive to follow for win purposes, but for an each-way angle he makes a lot of sense in a nine-runner race paying three places. His recent form is rock-solid without getting his head in front, and that consistency counts for plenty in this grade. The combination of a 106 rating and a useful 101 Topspeed figure says he has the raw ability to take a hand, while carrying 146 leaves him better off physically than several of the principals. Gavin Sheehan is a positive booking and, at 9/2, he looks the value alternative if the favourite finds one too good again. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Forcetoreckonwith is the win play because he arrives in the strongest recent form and looks the percentage call. For a saver or each-way punt, Lunar Ocean appeals as the dependable one to hit the frame again, with enough ability to do better than that. The obvious dangers are Kally Des Bruyeres, who is progressing, and Zoeman, who is not without claims if bouncing back.

16:30 – Molly Ollys Charity Partner Of The Year Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks the sort of Class 5 handicap where a few arrive with perfectly fair claims but none are bombproof. Inion Tiogair comes here on a hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is the obvious starting point, while Snapius also arrives in winning form and still has the look of a horse who can do a bit better. Killycarn has been knocking on the door in better races than this and ought to be involved again, and Pottersjetamay is dangerously well treated on the figures if building on his latest second. Orange Diamond has a solid recent profile too, but this does feel a race where race fitness, settling and seeing out the trip properly will decide matters more than raw ability. Tricky enough, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Snapius – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Alex Chadwick | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 5P7241 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 89
Snapius gets the nod because his profile is still moving the right way and last time out he finally put his head in front after shaping as though a race like this was well within reach. That latest win came off a mark only 1lb lower, so he is hardly badly treated, and his recent sequence suggests he is now holding his form properly. James Owen’s horses tend to be well placed when they drop into these ordinary handicaps and this looks a very fair spot. At 9/2 with Bet365, he makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of the market rivals may be more exposed than their prices suggest. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Pottersjetamay – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Quinlan | Trainer: Matt Crawley | Form: 22PP32 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 96
Pottersjetamay looks the each-way value, not least because he races from just 149lb despite a mark of 109, and that gives him a handy racing weight in a contest where a few of the principals are lugging plenty more. His recent second was much more like it after a couple of pulled-up efforts, and the overall profile says he can be competitive when things fall right. The Topspeed figure of 96 is one of the better numbers on offer here, which is another plus in a race lacking depth. With four places on offer, 15/2 with Bet365 is attractive enough for an each-way punt if he can back up that latest revival. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Snapius is the win play because he arrives in form, has fewer questions to answer than most, and still looks capable of another step forward. Pottersjetamay is the each-way alternative at a workable price, especially with four places on offer. The obvious dangers are Inion Tiogair, who is thriving, and Killycarn, who has the consistency to hit the frame again.

17:02 – Saumur Cup Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper little spring handicap chase rather than a weak end-of-card affair, with several arriving in decent order and not much separating the principals on the figures. Claim Du Brizais is the obvious starting point after slipping to a handy mark and getting plenty of weight from the older brigade, while Moonshine Man and Roger Rarebit bring solid, dependable chase form to the table. Two To Tango arrives off a deserved win and should be involved again, and Move With The Beat is harder to dismiss than his profile first suggests after bouncing back last time. It is not an impossible puzzle, but it is competitive enough that price matters, especially with only three places on offer for each-way backers.
Top Selections
1. Claim Du Brizais – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 133763 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 107
He is short enough in the market, but there are reasons for that. Claim Du Brizais is a 6yo taking on older, more exposed rivals and his mark of 114 does not look beyond him at all judged on the better bits of his profile. That Topspeed figure of 107 is the best in the field and his latest third suggested he is knocking on the door rather than going backwards. With Harry Skelton booked for a yard that excels in these sharp handicap chases, he makes plenty of appeal getting weight all round. At 15/8 he is no giveaway, but he is still the most likely winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Caterpillar Girl – 8/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Jonathan Burke | Trainer: Tom George | Form: 1550 | Rating: | Topspeed:
This one is the interesting alternative if you want to take on the favourite at a fairer price. Caterpillar Girl is only five, receives weight from most of the field and is open to more improvement than plenty of these exposed handicappers. The bare recent form figures need forgiving after a couple of lesser efforts, but this is not a deep race and Jonathan Burke is the sort you want on one if confidence returns. She has already caught the eye of at least one tipster and, at 8/1, she makes considerably more appeal as an each-way play than some of the shorter-priced, older rivals who look a touch fully exposed. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Claim Du Brizais is the win play and looks the percentage call given his age, weight pull and strong speed figure. For an each-way punt, Caterpillar Girl is the one at the prices if you are willing to forgive a couple of flat runs. Moonshine Man and Two To Tango are the obvious dangers, while Roger Rarebit is solid but may again find one or two better treated.

17:35 – Molly Ollys Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (inner hurdle track) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly warm bumper for the grade and not one to treat lightly, with a mix of solid placed form and a few interesting debutants lurking in behind. For A Moment, Lion Rose Sivola and Nevada Samba bring the strongest visible racecourse credentials, and that trio set a decent standard for the rest to aim at. The betting also suggests plenty of respect for newcomers like Lightsoutandaway and The Drunken Sailor, while Alan King doubles up with the already-winning Nevada Samba and unraced Muscadet. In a 16-runner bumper at Warwick, tactical pace and professionalism matter, and I’d rather side with runners who have already shown they can handle the job. It is competitive, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Lion Rose Sivola – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 22 | Rating: 118 | Topspeed: 67
There is nothing flashy about him, but there is a lot to like. Two runner-up efforts already tell you he knows his job, and his 118 rating is the standout figure in the field. In this sort of bumper, proven ability counts for plenty, especially against so many unknowns. Jonjo O’Neill Jr is exactly the sort you want aboard in a race where track position and timing can make all the difference, and this one looks the most solid option if he reproduces either of those placed runs. At 7/2, he is not missed by the market, but he still makes plenty of appeal as the one with the fewest holes in his profile. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Nevada Samba – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Bellamy | Trainer: Alan King | Form: 1 | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 69
A bumper winner is always worth serious respect in this company and Nevada Samba has already shown he can get the job done under race conditions. The bare figures are strong enough, and that winning experience could be invaluable if this turns into a proper scrap from the home bend. Alan King’s horses are usually well schooled for these assignments and Tom Bellamy is a positive booking. He does have to concede weight to a few of the principal rivals, which just tips preference toward Lion Rose Sivola on balance, but 4/1 is fair enough for a horse with a proven winning mentality in a race full of guesswork. He looks the obvious each-way play.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lion Rose Sivola is the win bet because his placed form is the strongest and most reliable on offer. Nevada Samba is the each-way alternative given he has already won a bumper and should give you a proper run for the money in a 16-runner field. The obvious dangers are For A Moment, who is attractively weighted, and the well-fancied newcomer Lightsoutandaway.
