Wetherby 1.10 With the late defection of the Willie Mullins runner Meetingofthewaters only five go to post for this 2m 3M 85 yards William Hill Towton Novices’ Chase. The one to beat is surely Jamie Snowden’s Colonel Harry who followed up a winning chase debut in a three runner handicap at Chepstow by finishing runner up in the Grade 1 Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown to Le Patron. That may not of been the strongest renewal of that contest but he should be up to winning this as the highest rated horse in the field.   COLONEL HARRY 1 point win @ Evens bet365   Kempton 1.30 The 3M Bet-In-Race With Coral Handicap Chase has attracted seven staying chasers and with the ground maybe drying too much for top weight Chianti Classico may go to the Dan Skelton trained Flegmatik. The nine year old seems suited by this flat course with track figures of 31102 here with the second coming over this trip in the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase last February when going down by a neck to Our power. Only rated 2lb higher now and having run well in decent handicaps this season at Ascot he looks the one to be with with 3lb claiming conditional Tristan Durrell taking over today as usual partner Harry Skeleton is riding at Warwick.   FLEGMATIK 1 point win @ 5/2 bet365   Warwick 1.49 The first of four races covered by ITV Racing today is this 3M 1F Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle qualifier which has attracted eight runners. Melanie Rowley is in great form currently and is fresh from a double at Doncaster on Wednesday and has a good chance of taking this with her Kyntara who is unbeaten in to starts since re-joining the Shropshire based handler with victories at Lingfield and Aintree rising 11lb in the handicap. The eight year old gelding is still 5lb lower than his highest ever mark and with his regular pilot Charlie Deutsch here to ride can take this from the Irish novice Mel Munro who is making her handicap debut now stepping up in distance which should suit.   KYNTARA 1 point win @ 11/4 bet365   Kempton 2.07 A small but classy field of five line up for this 2M 4F 110 yard Grade 2 Coral Silviniaco Conti Chase. Best in at the weights is Edwardstone who’s stepping up in trip here and can run well but it’s Paul Nicholls’s consistent Pic D’Orhy that appeals the most. A winner of five of his last six stats he’s never really been given the full credit for his success’s but took this race apart last season when scooting home 16L to the good although today’s renewal does look significantly tougher. Irish raider Banbridge was a top novice chaser last season and is another with claims as is Paddy Power Handicap Chase runner up Notlongtillmay. It’ll take a good performance to win this but its Pic D’Orhy for me who is two from two at the track.   PIC D’ORHY 1 point win @ 11/4 William Hill   Warwick 2.24 A small but select turnout of five novices for this Grade 2 Trustatrader Hampton Novices’ Chase run over a trip of 3M. The winner is likely to come from one of the front three in the betting, Lucinda Russell’s mare Apple Away, Dan Skelton’s doughty stayer Grey Dawning and Nigel Twiston-Davies’s improver Broadway Boy. Slight preference, in a tight heat, is for the latter who despite having to carry a 5lb penalty here for a 20L victory in a listed novices chase at Cheltenham in November, is the highest officially rated. He’s looked a staying chaser going places this season following up that listed win with a win in handicap company against a field of experienced chasers and looks the one to be with.   BROADWAY BOY 1 point win @ 5/2 bet365   Kempton 2.42 An ultra competitive renewal of the Coral Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle run over 2M 5F with a near maximum field of nineteen declared. Paul Nicholls’s joint top weight Sonigino should be thereabouts despite a 6lb rise for his comfortable Aintree victory whilst Kerry Lee’s Nemean Lion is another who can be in the mix but it’s the Nicky Henderson trained Impose Toi who appeals the most. JP McManus’s six year old has won five of his 8 career starts and finished runner up on the other three. He probably would of beaten stable mate Luccia in the big Ascot handicap hurdle at their Christmas meeting last time out but for making mistakes at the last two hurdles, going down by just a neck at the line. A 3lb rise for that excellent effort seems more than fair and with the extra 5F likely to be no issue as he’s already won over that trip, all be it at 1/5 in a four runner novice hurdle last May, he can go one better than Ascot with James Bowen replacing the injured Nico De Boinville.   IMPOSE TOI 1 point win @ 7/2 William Hill   Warwick 3.00 The feature race of the day at Warwick is the Wigley Classic Handicap Chase run over a distance of 3M 5F with a decent sized field of fourteen going to post. A case can be made for plenty although I do keep coming back to the Irish top weight Malina Girl who looked way ahead of her mark when blitzing her field at Cheltenham in November under similar conditions, coming home a comfortable 10L to the good. She was going easily when coming down three from home at the same course the following month in a race won by Broadway Boy and off of a mark 11lb higher than her win could still be well treated especially wit the capable conditional jockey Conor Stone-Walsh taking 5lb off the mares back. This will take some getting on soft ground and it maybe worth a small each way saver on bottom weight Volcano who’s shown nothing so far this season including in two cross country races when 16lb wrong at the weights (came back with post race ataxia last time which is when a horse becomes unsteady on his feet due to a rise in body exercise after exercise). He does however have a record here of five wins from just six starts with the only defeat coming in this contest last year when 5th from a 5lb higher mark.   MALINA GIRL 1 point win @ 5/1 bet365 VOLCANO 1/2 point each way @ 25/1 888sport 1/5th 12345   Warwick 3.35 The re-scheduled Unibet Veterans’ Handicap Chase run over a distance of 3M is a real bonus for us race fans and with seventeen declared looks to be some race. My fancy from last week Ramses De Teillee is still the one to be with with the switch in tracks from Sandown to Warwick certainly not a negative as he won first time out here last season readily by just under ten lengths prior to a highly creditable runner up in this race (when held at Sandown) off of a handicap mark 4lb higher. A wind operation is anther bonus as he’s won twice easily following previous wind operations with the stable also striking twice in the last week also in his favour. A lot of positives and with luck in running the strapping grey looks sure to go well and looks a good each way bet.   RAMSES DE TEILLEE 1 1/2 points each way @ 8/1 888sport 1/5th 12345

A couple of reasons ....sometimes connections have high hopes and might have a particular race they would love to run in i.e the derby etc ........or some horses aren't very quick ....they can win at a mile in lower grades but stepping up in distance can nullify the lack of speed and allow the horse to jump up in form allowing it to win in higher grade /higher prizes races ....you see it all the time .....
