There is a soft, almost touching moment on the Warwick lawns this morning as a local trainer place a quiet hand on her novice chaser’s neck, whispered something only the horse could hear, and sent him out for a final stretch. That blend of pride and nerves set the emotional tone for this Warwick race preview. The six-race card on 19 November 2025 promises sharp early battles, stern staying tests, and a few young hopefuls who may yet shape the season ahead.
THE WARWICK SUPPORTS OUR FARMERS NOVICES’ LIMITED HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (12:55 pm)
(Class 3 | 2m 54y | £18,000 | 4YO+)
The opener brings together a trio of lightly raced but promising types. SPIRITS BAY has shown the fluency of a horse ready to grow into fences, while EXCELERO comes here with a reputation for travelling strongly through his races. MISTER CESSNA, neat at his obstacles and improving steadily, adds an intriguing layer to a field that may punch above its small numbers.
THE CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS’ HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (1:25 pm)
(Class 4 | 2m 3f | £9,000 | 3YO+)
One of the liveliest contests of the afternoon sees young riders eager to make their mark. OH MY JOHNNY arrives with strong course rhythm, while VOCITO has shaped as though ready for a breakthrough performance. ONEWAYWEST brings consistency, and DIAMOND GEEZER tends to finish his races with purpose. CODETALKER and SWEET MAGIC round out the group — both with form figures suggesting they could play late roles if the tempo lifts early.
THE PRICEDUP NOVICES’ HURDLE RACE (2:00 pm)
(Class 4 | 2m 5f 5y | £7,000 | 4YO+)
This mid-card feature of the Warwick race preview includes several horses stepping into deeper waters. JACKPOT CAUVELIERE has hinted at raw staying ability, while PAUL MANATE is a neat jumper who could relish the longer trip. SOGNA IN GRANDE and DIG DEEP offer contrasting profiles — the former a smooth traveller, the latter a grinder who finds plenty under pressure. MIGHT AS WELL and SALLYVILLE LADY round out a field big enough to create tactical complexity.
THE HAZELTON MOUNTFORD INSURANCE HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (2:35 pm)
(Class 4 | 2m 4f | £10,250 | 4YO+)
Experience is the theme here. DUHALLOW TOMMY returns to a track that suits his forward-going style. ICARE COLOMBE brings reliable jumping and a cool temperament, while CHUGGY and DUNSKAY tend to thrive in tightly packed fields. ANOTHER FOLLY and MAVIS PIKE ensure the race has depth, each capable of delivering a strong challenge if finding a smooth rhythm early.
THE DENIS O’CONNELL MEMORIAL HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (3:10 pm)
(Class 4 | 3m 1f 5y | £9,000 | 4YO+)
The day’s longest contest is defined by stamina and tactical patience. SPORTING ACE, with his unflappable nature, often keeps finding when others tire. I’M A STARMAN brings more flamboyant cruising speed, while KISS MY FACE can grind relentlessly if the race becomes attritional. GETAWAY THEATRE, MURPHY’S MILAN, GWENNIE MAY STAR, and CATCH CATCHFIRE each have profiles suggesting they could spring a surprise in a race where late surges regularly rewrite the script.
THE PRICEDUP DAILY SPORTS BOOSTS HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (3:40 pm)
(Class 5 | 2m 54y | £7,500 | 4YO+)
A competitive closer awaits, headed by KYKOROCK, who likes to dictate pace. DROMLAC JURY and KING OF BRAZIL have run well in similar setups, while BOBBI’S BEAUTY brings a touch of flair to her jumping. SUPERSTYLIN, BOOM BOOM, and STICK WITH ME SAM round off the card — each capable of exploiting mistakes and making a late charge in what often becomes a frantic dash to the line.
As Warwick prepares for another afternoon of heart, grit, and rising talent, the sense of connection between horses, riders, and their teams underscores the day. It is more than a meeting — it’s a showcase of the quiet, emotional craft that keeps the sport alive through cold November winds.
