Warwick preview: Gentleman At Arms out to secure emotional success for passionate owner

Gentleman At Arms is in contention for a return to the track at the same level for the £55,000 prize. The gelded son of Reliable Man finished second in the Grade Two Ballymore Leamington Novices’ Hurdle 12 months ago. His owner, Diana, lost her husband Barry Iseton in July. She has been left on her own with the horse. Gentleman At arms failed to feature in his first two starts this term over hurdles. He finished third on his chasing debut at Leicester last month. Edmunds believes the return of three miles will unlock further improvement. It was frozen off at Doncaster so they had to go two and a half miles at Leicestershire.

Gentlemen At Arms is committed to safer gambling. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s. National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133.
