Warwick Race 2 - Fcn Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
LARGY FORCE (5) enjoyed an excellent season over fences last year finishing in the first pair home on all six starts. Was a 12L winner at Perth on final outing in May and given wind surgery since. This looks a most suitable starting point. DYLANS MOON (2) came home third providing racecourse debut (4000m) in March. Fell when still in there pitching at Ffos Las a month later. Respect. ARCTURUS FLAME (1) managed to take advantage of a great opportunity and score first up tackling obstacles in a three-runner event two back (3200m). Disappointed as favourite subsequently. Given another chance up in trip. Jumpers flat winner KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES (3) isn't without a chance.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last outing finished fifth in a small field at Stratford-On-Avon on October 5 over 3200m, 28 len behind Red Metal with 72.5kg at $2.40. Run before to post a big 17 len win. Plumpton on September 20 over 3200m defeating Raulin with 71kg at $1.30 in a hurdle. No surprise to see him back in form.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Having raced just once last preparation finished fourth of 8 starters at Doncaster on February 28 over 3900m, slow track; 18 len behind Leader Crik with 73kg at $2.40. First up last campaign made ground from midfield; finished fifth of 9 starters at Uttoxeter on October 5 2025 over 3200m, 12 len behind Top Jimmy with 71.5kg at $3.80. Capable and looks a top-three chance.
