It's Molly Olly's Charity Raceday at Warwick on Thursday when the course will be raising money throughout the day for the Warwick-based charity which supports children with life-threatening illnesses, writes David Hucker.

Feature of the eight-race card is the £20,000 South West Syndicate Handicap Hurdle over three miles and one furlong for horses rated 0-140 in which course winner Trincomalee and Burrows Edge, the choice from three entries by Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson, should be in the shake-up, although neither may beat the in-form Arizona Cardinal, a winner at Uttoxeter and not disgraced in a hot race at Sandown Park the time before,
