UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

ISLE ROAD was unable to follow up his Newton Abbot hurdles victory when runner-up at the same course over fences eight days later. The slight drop in trip on this occasion is unlikely to pose any concern for the 10-year-old, who can return to winning ways at the expense of Skinflint, who has placed on three of his last four starts. Scartare could benefit from returning to 2m4f and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Isle Road 2nd Skinflint 3rd Scartare

ATTEST struggled to land a blow on his chasing debut when well beaten by Kalashnikov at Plumpton in December. However, he has since changed yards to Dr Richard Newland and, on his handicap debut in this sphere, could leave that first run over the larger obstacles well behind him. Spring Steel won after nearly two years off the track at Uttoxeter last month and he has to enter calculations off a 5lb higher mark, while King Alfonso's recent consistency warrants him a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Attest 2nd Spring Steel 3rd King Alfonso

FULL BORE was disappointing at Southwell in June but he may well have needed that outing after a 231-day absence and Nicky Henderson's gelding could take a big step forward on this occasion. His novice hurdle form suggests he has a workable handicap mark and gets the nod over Really Super, who may have won had she jumped better at Uttoxeter last month, and That's A Given.
Prediction : 1st Full Bore 2nd Really Super 3rd Thats A Given

WEST COAST FLYER comes out on top of these with an official rating of 129 and could make it three wins in a row for Oliver Sherwood and Leighton Aspell. He already has a course success to his name having struck here in July, and is firmly going the right way in this sphere. New Millennium was pulled up over fences at Uttoxeter just under four weeks ago and reverts to hurdles, while Twasn't The Plan could prove good enough for third.
Prediction : 1st West Coast Flyer 2nd New Millennium 3rd Twasnt The Plan

The Accountant outran 16-1 odds to finish third at Uttoxeter four weeks ago and could shed his maiden tag before the the winter racers return, while North Star Oscar ran to a respectable level when third at Stratford earlier this month, attempting to defy a 4lb rise for his earlier Ffos Las triumph. COMMANDER MILLER jumped much better when second over C&D behind a well-treated Dan Skelton mare last time out and could make amends with no similar types in opposition this time for Nicky Henderson.
Prediction : 1st Commander Miller 2nd The Accountant 3rd North Star Oscar

In a moderate contest, preference is for POGO I AM, who has displayed promise in bumpers and the daughter of Passing Glance should take plenty of beating as long as her jumping holds up. Foxy Singer has to be noted back under Rules having won between the flags in March, while Carpool and Sitron are the pick of those with previous experience over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Pogo I Am 2nd Foxy Singer 3rd Carpool

COTTONVALE has made the frame in both starts since winning at Fakenham in June and the eight-year-old appears to be the one to beat in this contest. That said, Damut I'm Out is another whose most recent form suggests that he could make the frame in a race of this nature, while Adherence and Buckeye Shan are the pick of the remaining field.
Prediction : 1st Cottonvale 2nd Damut Im Out 3rd Adherence
