12.18pm Warwick – Stan Mellor Memorial ‘Chasing Excellence’ Beginners’ Chase

Only two go to post for this Class 3 beginners’ chase over 2m 54y on Good ground, but it is the highest-class race on the British cards today. The pair are rated 133 and both carry 11st 5lb.

• Level on ratings: Loriko and Un Sens A La Vie are both rated 133 and meet at level weights.
• Hottest jockey of the day: Loriko is ridden by Harry Skelton, 17 from 45 (38%) in the last 14 days, for his brother Dan. Both carry the top course flag at Warwick.
• Recent form: Loriko (form 121136) has won four times over hurdles since May and ran 11 days ago. Un Sens A La Vie won a handicap hurdle 38 days ago.
• Rider in form: Un Sens A La Vie runs for Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies with Sam Twiston-Davies up, 7 from 34 (21%) in the last 14 days.
• Distance winners: Both have won over the trip. As a beginners’ chase, neither has won over fences yet.

1.37pm Lingfield – John Marshall 80th Birthday Celebration Novices’ Hurdle

Eleven runners line up for this Class 4 novices’ hurdle over 2m on Good ground. Several make their hurdles debut, and two Flat winners switch codes.

• Placed on hurdle debut: Analogical (Philip Hobbs & Johnson White) is a four-time Flat winner and was third on his hurdle debut 30 days ago.
• Hurdle debutants: Ballyboy Prince, Boston Run, Soldier Poet and The Perfect Poet all jump hurdles in public for the first time. The Perfect Poet (Ben Pauling) won a Fontwell bumper, and Boston Run (Pat Phelan) won over 1m2f on the all-weather in September.
• Skelton pair: Dan Skelton runs Ballyboy Prince and Lady Boujee, both with the top course trainer flag. Lady Boujee is the only filly and carries 10st 7lb, 7lb less than the rest.
• Long absences: Our Amigo and Soldier Poet (both Nick Gifford) have been off 232 days, and The Perfect Poet 206 days. Soldier Poet has had wind surgery since his last run.
• New yard: Raulin, a Flat winner in June, runs for Jamie Moore & Josh Moore in cheekpieces after a below-par first run for the yard.

2.20pm Fairyhouse – Group Discounts For Winter Festival General Admission Rated Hurdle

The day’s richest race is a six-runner rated hurdle over 2m4f on Good ground. Four of the six have not run since the spring.

• Ratings spread: Generous Risk tops the weights on 11st 10lb off 136, 4lb clear of Quinta Do Lago (132). Mojoe is lowest on 122.
• Hot jockey: Jack Kennedy rides Quinta Do Lago for Mrs John Harrington and is 6 from 23 (26%) in the last 14 days. The gelding was fifth in the Fred Winter in March.
• Elliott pair: Gordon Elliott runs Generous Risk and Riskaway. Generous Risk was placed in a Grade 2 here and pulled up in April. Riskaway was behind Quinta Do Lago that month and is better off at the weights.
• Fresh v rested: Speisialta ran 11 days ago and won at Sligo last time. Generous Risk, Quinta Do Lago and Riskaway have been off 188 days, and Mojoe 185.
• Distance winners: Generous Risk, Quinta Do Lago, Riskaway and Mojoe have all won over the trip. Mojoe’s two handicap wins this year came on testing ground.

5.30pm Wolverhampton – AW Trials Day – Lingfield 2nd Jan 2027 EBF Restricted Novice Stakes

A 12-runner restricted novice for two-year-olds over 7f 36y on Standard going. Only one runner has won, and seven make their debut.

• Only previous winner: Crown Of Ivy won on debut at Doncaster in May for another yard. He now runs for T J Kent, carries a 7lb penalty (9st 11lb) and has been off 185 days.

Trainers and jockeys in form

These strike rates cover the last 14 days, and every name has runners in today’s featured races. None of the trainers on GG’s 14-day in-form list has a runner in the four races, so all four names are jockeys.

Name	Role	Last 14 days	Featured runners today
Harry Skelton	Jockey	17/45 (38%)	Loriko (12.18pm Warwick)
Jack Kennedy	Jockey	6/23 (26%)	Quinta Do Lago (2.20pm Fairyhouse)
Billy Loughnane	Jockey	14/54 (26%)	Bibury Star (5.30pm Wolverhampton)
Sam Twiston-Davies	Jockey	7/34 (21%)	Un Sens A La Vie (12.18pm Warwick)

Key angles

• Skelton team: Dan Skelton has three runners across the featured races: Loriko at Warwick, and Ballyboy Prince and Lady Boujee at Lingfield. Harry Skelton has the best 14-day strike rate of the featured jockeys at 38%.
• Back from a break: Absences are a theme. Four of the six at Fairyhouse have been off 185 days or more, three at Lingfield have been off over 200 days, and Crown Of Ivy returns after 185 days at Wolverhampton.
• Last-time-out winners: Speisialta (Fairyhouse) and Un Sens A La Vie (Warwick) both won on their latest start.
• No C&D winners: None of the runners in the four featured races appears on today’s course-and-distance winners list.
