Warwick Racecourse: Preview and tips for Wednesday’s seven-race meeting

There’s more racing at Warwick today, with seven races across the afternoon.

The popular racecourse hosts three races over hurdles, three over fences and one bumper to conclude proceedings.

Read on for a preview of and tips for the Warwick card, with horse racing odds from BOYLE Sports.

Up first is a conditional jockeys’ handicap hurdle run over two miles and three furlongs (12.50).

Seraphic seeks a hat-trick here as the favourite, stepping up in trip on a new mark.

His trainers are in good form at present and he looks handy at the weights despite having climbed the handicap.

Mariole can take a step forward from his debut for Nicky Henderson, whose yard is flying, while Mister Des Places must be kept an eye on, given 10 pounds by his rider. 

The next race is a novices’ hurdle run over two miles and five furlongs (13.20).

Largy Force is the hot 10/11 favourite, having won by 12 lengths when last seen in the spring over fences.

She’s had wind surgery in the summer and this backward step to novice hurdling is an odd-seeming choice.

The others up against her, though, have offered little in comparison, but it might be the case that Arcturus Flame can leave behind a poor run last time, and might stay the trip here. 

Race three is a two-mile novices’ handicap chase (13.50).

Crystal Days won when last seen in May and has since had wind surgery.

His trainer Ben Pauling is in good form, and this could be within reach for the six-year-old.

Adonedeal promised more over hurdles in 2025 than he delivered in 2026, but he could do better after the break now.

If support comes in for Soldier’s Leap, though, he could improve for his recent surgery. 

A three-mile handicap chase follows (14.21).

Broadway Honey has won her latest three starts by a combined 31 lengths, but she has a lot of weight to shoulder here.

Ignore The Door is entitled to improve for his reappearance, while Yes Day is back on his preferred soft ground here and just might be able to sneak into a good position for his in-form rider and trainers. 

The fifth race is a handicap hurdle run over three miles and a furlong (14.51).

Jackstell was very useful last season and has made another good start here, but might be better off lower in the weights over this trip.

Paddy De Pole is given a useful five pounds by his rider, who has been riding plenty of winners lately. 

Race six is a two-mile handicap chase (15.22). Mary is the topweight and also brings the best recent form, while Tropical Talent is competitive on this mark and is equipped with first-time blinkers here.

Wind surgery may also have helped Alba Cruz get back to his better form from last summer. 

Last of all is a junior bumper, for three-year-old fillies (15.52).

Maria’s Double is the only runner with any previous form, but showed little on debut last month.

Katies Turn is highly well fancied at 11/10 for Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls.

Given that this support is almost to the exclusion to the other runners, it has to be taken seriously.
