Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Alba Crus looks the one to beat at Warwick, with our ratings putting him 6 lb clear of Mary, a meaningful edge in a Class 5 over two miles on good ground. Mary is the main danger and has the credentials to make him work, while Midnight View, a further 11 lb back, and Boom Boom would need to improve to get involved. Tropical Talent and the unrated River Don look to have plenty to find, which leaves Alba Crus best placed to take advantage. Alba Crus is our selection.

Mary arrives consistent, with a third last time out, another third two starts back and a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The one concern is that she is yet to win in her last five starts, and she carries 168 lb after 43 days off.

Alba Crus has run over today's trip and going before, and a third four starts back is his best recent finish, while his 103 rating makes him the one to beat in this six-runner field. He's been off 173 days and unseated last time, but a weight of 166 lb is a fair burden.

Midnight View ran only 12 days ago, so he arrives fit, has run over today's trip and going, and was a winner five starts back, with a third four starts back too. Risk is a seventh last time out, and 155 lb is a hefty burden off a mark of 87.

Tropical Talent is winless in his last four, with a third last time out, a second two starts back and another second three starts back, so he keeps finding one or two better. Back in just eight days, he has run over this trip and going, but 147 lb off 79 and our 74 rating, fifth of six, make him hard to fancy.

Boom Boom bounced back from two pulled-up runs with a second and a third before an eighth last time, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Winless in his last five and 47 days off, he carries 147 lb, so the weight is the main risk.

River Don is unexposed and could have more to offer, having won four starts back and since finished fourth three times running, including last time out just 13 days ago. He carries 143 lb under an official mark of 75.
