Nigel Twiston – Davies

3:25 Warwick – Horseguarsparade 7/1

Has been knocking on the door with two runners up slots at Worcester, before running a little below par a couple of weeks ago at Uttoxeter, all over today's trip.
This is his handicap hurdle debut and he looks in a reasonable mark.
Should go well and can go close.

★★★★☆

David Pipe (Chester Barnes)

2:20 Warwick – Tobacco Road 16/1

He hasn't really translated his flat form to hurdles yet and would need to improve to figure on what he has shown thus far.

★★☆☆☆

3:25 Warwick – For N Against 9/2

For 'N' Against has been in good form this term, winning twice and he reverts to hurdles for this 3m2f handicap from a slightly lower rating than his chase mark.  He has sound place claims if he reverts his ability back to the smaller obstacles.

★★★☆☆

Mark Usher

4:15 Ffos Las – Many Dreams 4/1

she is a consistent and genuine filly who has gone very close to winning and the Yard take her to Wales with a decent chance of deservedly getting her head in front. She ran very well from a poor draw handy for the lake at Kempton on her last run and that meant that Josephine Gordon had to make a lot of use of her and she still looked like the winner until well into the final furlong; that won’t apply today and, although the Ffos Las handicap is inevitably tight, she has dropped to 64 and the Yard would be looking for her to run well.

★★★★☆

5:50 Ffos Las – Kings Heart 12/1

He is a bit more difficult to evaluate; he is a very freegoing person and this is part of the rationale of dropping him back to six furlongs to enable the stronger early pace to help Steve get him settled early (which is the key to him producing his ability); he got a long way behind at Epsom after pulling pretty hard and into a lower class race today off a three pound lower mark he is capable of making an impact; the truth is you couldn’t quite be sure that he will especially if the race is not truly run.

★★★☆☆
