12.20 Warwick: PricedUp Daily Racing Boosts Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Chase (Class 4)
KILBARRY HILL is still unexposed over the larger obstacles for Olly Murphy, having just the two starts to date, with the most recent of those coming at Wetherby earlier this month when finishing third behind Hudson De Grugy. He was sent off the 9/4 favourite that day, and that was a Class 3 affair, meaning that this is an ease in grade for him. His jumping let him down on occasions last time, and if he sharpens that up here, he could prove to be a big player under Lewis Stones. (10/3) (Win)
12.43 Uttoxeter: Simply Logistics Handicap Hurdle (Class 3)
WOODLAND PARK is a bumper and maiden hurdle winner, and returned to the track after a twelve-month layoff with a couple of solid efforts within handicap company, finishing third in both outings at Carlisle and most recently at Leicester. He contests this off a couple of pounds higher than his Leicester run, which shouldn’t pose an issue, and he looks rock solid to go well once again. Sean Bowen retains the partnership, and he rides this track better than anyone. (11/10) (Win) (NAP)
1.13 Uttoxeter: Feast Streat Great Tasting Food Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
LA HIGUERA has also run well in a couple of handicap hurdles since returning to the track this term, finishing third at Ffos Las in November, before going a place better at Haydock last time out to finish second of seven behind Small Town Hero. He’s still a maiden after six starts; however, his last two runs suggest that he should be getting his head in front sooner rather than later. Kevin Brogan takes the ride on this occasion for Toby Lawes, and he’s a player off a pound higher than last time. (7/2) (Win)
2.13 Uttoxeter: Malcolm Harrison Handicap Hurdle (Class 5)
CATBOY comes into this contest back down to his last winning mark for Christian Williams, which was his only success to date. He’s been out of form for a while since then; however, he was sent off the 7/4 favourite last time out at Ludlow before he unseated, suggesting that a big run was expected of him last time. This is a low-grade affair, and with a further seven pounds coming off his back via his rider, he’s got every chance of being competitive at this level, and he’s a reasonable price. (15/2) (Each-Way)
2.22 Warwick: Download The PricedUp App Handicap Hurdle (Class 4)
SEATOIT posted his best effort to date last time out on his seasonal reappearance at Ffos Las last month, in what was also his handicap debut. He was beaten by just a neck on that occasion by Mister Barclay over three miles, staying on strongly in the closing stages. He’s been nudged up three pounds by the handicapper for that effort; however, he’ll likely continue to progress within handicap company, and if he does take another step forward, he’s got every chance of opening his account here for Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls. (5/2) (Win) (NB)
2.43 Uttoxeter: QuinnBet Daily Free Bet Novices’ Handicap Chase (Class 4)
JACQUES CLOUSEA was only beaten by half of a length on his seasonal reappearance over hurdles at Southwell last time out, with that run coming off just a two-pound lower mark than what he’ll contest this race off. He was a winning pointer, and the bigger obstacles will likely unlock further improvement, and he should naturally take a big step forward coming into his second start of the campaign. Mel Rowey has had a couple of winners recently, and this looks like another player for the yard. (8/1) (Each-Way)
