Cut-price racing tickets on offer at Warwick Racecourse

Held during school half-term, the day, run in conjunction with The Racehorse Syndicates Association, has a host of entertainment for children in the Paddock Pavilion, all supported by a number of charities, comprising Morrisons Community, Molly Ollys, Safeline, Search and Rescue and LWS. It will include face painting, crafts, play with an array of giant games and a treasure hunt.

With under-18s accompanied by an adult admitted free, this is a good value day out for the family and always attracts a big crowd, something that Warwick under new manager Thomas Williams is doing rather well with at the moment with over 5,000 people at the last meeting.

Feature race of the day is the third, the £40,000 Feldon Dunsmore Budbrooke Chase over two and a half miles, won last year by Espoir De Guye, who had finished second in 2021. Winning trainer Venetia Williams has entered Enzo D'Airy, beaten 12 lengths when runner up to the impressive Sholokjack last time, but he would be 12lbs better off at the weights today.

Sholokjack is one of three entries for Alcester trainer Dan Skelton, the others being Go Steady and Knight In Dubai, the latter having just failed to make all the running at the last meeting, being caught right on the line and beaten a neck by Messire Des Obeaux.

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has entered two but, with Flic Ou Voyou winning at Wincanton on Saturday, he may rely on Friend Or Foe, who is gradually slipping down the weights.

The six-race card gets underway at 2.00pm with the longest contest of the afternoon, the Join A Kim Bailey Racing Syndicate Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals/Amateurs) over three miles and two furlongs, which has attracted 23 entries.

The British Stallion Studs EBF Mares' Open National Hunt Flat Race, which brings the curtain down at 4.40pm, was won last year by Lutinebella who has gone on to become a useful hurdler for trainer Fergal O'Brien.

Looking ahead, entries are now being taken for another family favourite, the annual Four Legged Friend Day on Sunday 12 March, featuring the LPS Pug Gold Cup.
