11/1
Gradually improved with each race last season until taking backward step when pulling up in 2m4f Sandown novices' hurdle. Not seen since March and looks weighted to the hill.

Karakoram15
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones(5)| T: G Harris| OR:  115| D
5/1
Started the season with good third before progressing further when landing 2m handicap hurdle at Ludlow in good style. Penalised for that but respected.
3
Horse silk
Demopolish216
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  113
7/1
Promising efforts at the start of last season have not been backed up and culminated last season with 34L defeat at Chepstow (2m). Bounce back required now.
4
Horse silk
Go Steady1077
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  112
6/1
Well beaten on first two starts to date, including 18L fourth in 2m4f Bangor novice hurdle. Not seen in nearly three years so probably best watched.
5
Horse silk
Little Rory Mach137
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-9| J: L Heard| T: Henry Oliver| OR:  112| BF
12/1
Showed plenty of promise in first couple of starts and probably needed comeback effort when 13L fifth at Bangor (2m) in October. On a fair mark however so can't be discounted.
6
Horse silk
Knight Destroyer138
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-9| J: Alain Cawley| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  112| BF| D
18/1
Solid second over C&D in May before 27L third at Southwell when last seen in June. Makes comeback effort but looks to be on a competitive mark.
7
Horse silk
Avantgardist231
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: Henry Oliver| OR:  109| C
16/1
Good winner over 2m5f here in March and wasn't disrespected when third over 3m at Newbury later that month. Makes comeback effort but contender on that form.
8
Horse silk
Lightly Squeeze32
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR:  109| BF
2/1
Last seen over hurdles finishing third in 2m Wincanton novices' hurdle last December. Impressive on the flat since and looks well handicapped back in this company.
9
Horse silk
Star of Roryt243
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott| OR:  108| CD
14/1
Usually runs to his mark and rewarded for consistency with game success over C&D in March. Increased in handicap since but shortlisted.

Horse silk
Macksvillep,t224
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Bargary| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR:  107WS
50/1
Only made the track once last season, finishing tailed off I'm 2m Fontwell handicap hurdle. Best watched on that form.
11
Horse silk
Lester Krist223
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: M G Nolan| T: K Woollacott| OR:  107
40/1
Placed in three moderate hurdles last season but ended the year with poor 15th in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle. More needed on that evidence.
12
Horse silk
Comber Millt230
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-3| J: L Treadwell| T: A Ralph| OR:  106| D
25/1
Looked to be an inconsistent sort but bounced back to form with gutsy success in 2m handicap hurdle at Bangor in March. has a 6lb rise to contend with in tougher race however.
14
Horse silk
Bolton Boy33
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-12| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  101
20/1
Sole win came at Sedgefield a year ago and well-held in handicap company, including seventh over 3m at Uttoxeter last month. More required at this trip.
15
Horse silk
Three County'sh20
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-8| J: Lewis Stones(7)| T: O Murphy| OR:  97
40/1
Never a threat in any start under rules to date and started season with 42L defeat at Stratford (2m2f) in October. Easily opposable on that form.

14:25 Warwick - 8 November 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive looking affair, it may be worth taking a punt on the unexposed LIGHTLY SQUEEZE, who finished his last jumps effort with an encouraging third. His flat efforts will have seemingly ripened him up and he could be one step ahead of the handicapper. Star Of Rory has proved to be a consistent sort at this level but may be hindered by his current mark, while the likes of Avantgardist and Karakoram have been running well but need a further step up.
