Warwick Race 1 - Valley Handicap Hurdle
SERIOUS CHAT (1) maintains a consistent record this year including a 2.5L success among similar hurdle company over 4600m at Bangor-on-Dee a month ago. Leading chance. STRIKING A POSE (2) showed ability when a decent fourth on heavy going tackling a 5200m handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot. Can build on that effort. Big claims. ROYAL RHYTHM (3) might fill third spot.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming finished third in a small field at Market Rasen on March 16 over 4600m, 2.5 len behind Grangeclare Diego with 75kg at $7.50. Second-up won by 2.5 len Bangor-On-Dee on April 12 over 4600m defeating Izzy's Grey carrying 73kg at $5 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Should measure up again.

Useful type. Last start finished fourth of 8 starters at Newton Abbot on April 19 over 5300m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Moonset with 73kg at $17. Race before finished third in a small field at Exeter on March 18 over 4300m, 7 len behind Night Duty with 76kg at $5.50. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Last start finished sixth of 7 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on April 12 over 4600m, 25 len behind Serious Chat with 68kg at $11. The start before that; finished seventh of 10 runners at Ayr on March 7 over 3200m, slow track; 30 len behind Ballyfort carrying 76kg at $4.50. Struggling and makes little appeal.
