Top tipster Dave Nevison has three selections at Warwick on Friday - watch how they fare live on Racing TV.

Finished: 2ndSP: 2/1
This race is one to keep a close eye on going forwards as there are several in it who look worth following over hurdles.
None more so, in my view, than Lightly Squeeze who recently won a decent handicap on the Flat at Haydock.
That was his first run for eight months and he then went on to run well in a 0-95 at Windsor, so looks an improved performer in that sphere.
He definitely looked as though he might well be capable of better over hurdles at Wincanton and Exeter at the end of last year, where waiting tactics were possibly overdone on each occasion.

Watch how Lightly Squeeze won at Haydock
I am hoping he is ridden a little more prominently this time, especially as it is a short straight at Warwick.
Harry Fry is in good form and Lightly Squeeze is the chosen from two entries from the yard.
Dave Nevison
Finished: UR SP: 5/4
Was impressive at Chepstow last week when beating some promising types.
He had previously been highly tried and become quite disappointing but he has clearly benefitted from his summer break his mark of 108 was evidently a gift.
He looks well-in under a 7lb penalty and that is offset by Sam Waley-Cohen’s claim. He looks good to follow up.

Finished: 2ndSP: 5/2
He finished a well-beaten fourth behind La Cavsta Nostra last week (see above) but I still think he will be good enough to win a modest handicap here.
The drop from 3m2f to 2m4f should suit as Rizzardo clearly did not stay last time and improvers here look thin on the ground.
His stable is in good form and Jordan Nailor is a decent 7lb claimer.
