After Newton Abbot’s abandonment, Wednesday’s card at Warwick is the sole National Hunt meeting of the day and we’ve identified our best bet for the fixture.

Yesterday’s jumps NAP brought up a third correctly called banker in a row – can we make it four here?

Paul Nicholls has enjoyed a strong start to the season at the Midlands track and his representative Kilmington Rose can bring home the bacon here.

She was probably overextended by her opening handicap mark of 113 when sent for a deep race at Newbury and it was disappointing that she was turned over at short-odds at Exeter in April.

However, she's down 6lbs since her Berkshire exploits and the smaller field should suit with usual front-riding pilot Bryony Frost, who has won her only two rides around this course so far this season, able to dominate proceedings.

She reopposes Wilderness here once again but given the manner of the defeat in Devon last time, even the 1lb swing in the weights may put this in selection's favour.
