UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Everything points to a big run from DALKINGSTOWN, who boasts solid course form (in bumpers) and arrives following placed efforts at both Uttoxeter and Ffos Las. The first of those performances came over fences, when he was only beaten half a length, and he has the tongue-tie and cheekpieces both fitted today for good measure. Port O'clock won a hunters' chase at Exeter in April and warrants respect on his stable debut for David Pipe, while Trumps Benefit can't be ruled out having won his only previous visit here.
Prediction : 1st Dalkingstown 2nd Port Oclock 3rd Trumps Benefit

Al Roc has won three of his last four starts and must enter calculations, as must Ashoka, who switches back to fences following a successful spell over hurdles. However, LA DOMANIALE receives weight off both and shades the verdict. Jonjo O'Neill's charge made the perfect start to her chasing career when winning comfortably over this trip at Uttoxeter 17 days ago and, open to any amount of improvement, she could defy a 7lb rise in the ratings.
Prediction : 1st La Domaniale 2nd Al Roc 3rd Ashoka

Millbank Flyer makes his handicap debut over hurdles and it would come as no surprise to see him run a big race, while No Worries also merits consideration following his easy win at Les Landes in Jersey. The vote, however, goes to MASTERDREAM, who was a shade disappointing at Southwell latest but won comfortably over course and distance the time before. Returning to this track can only be a positive and he looks capable of being competitive off his revised, 5lb higher, mark.
Prediction : 1st Masterdream 2nd Millbank Flyer 3rd No Worries

After receiving a bump at a crucial stage, C&D winner Chasamax was promoted to first in the stewards' room at Ffos Las on his latest start and Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old warrants plenty of respect. However, he may have to settle for minor honours behind CADEAU D'OR, who is an intriguing prospect now switching to handicaps. Inn The Bull produced a creditable effort when runner-up at Ludlow last time and can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Cadeau DOr 2nd Chasamax 3rd Inn The Bull

A course winner on his penultimate start, PERCY'S WORD had to settle for second at Warwick on his latest outing but, with the return to this trip looking a positive move, Dan Skelton's gelding gets the nod. Miranda can make a greater impact down in grade after finding things tough in the Imperial Cup on her latest run over hurdles, while Glynn, who is a capable performer on his day, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Percys Word 2nd Miranda 3rd Glynn

Sorceress Medea showed potential on her last two starts in bumpers and the daughter of Walk In The Park is a noteworthy contender on her hurdling bow. However, it is hard to look past POP THE CHAMPAGNE, who showed notable improvement when registering her first win over hurdles at Ffos Las on her latest outing. A winner on the Flat in Germany, Night Fever makes her hurdling debut for Jamie Snowden and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Pop The Champagne 2nd Sorceress Medea 3rd Night Fever

Successful on two of his three latest starts, NOAHTHIRTYTWORED could take some pegging back despite a 5lb rise in the weights. Adam West's charge has shown marked improvement since entering handicap company in April and he can repel the challenge of Leopolds Rock, who finished a good second at Southwell earlier this month. Castle Quarter is another to consider for his in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Noahthirtytwored 2nd Leopolds Rock 3rd Castle Quarter

BEAT THE HEAT was extremely well supported when bolting up at Fontwell earlier this month and given the manner of that success, a 9lb rise in the handicap may prove lenient. Windy Cove is feared most following her Warwick victory while Madeeh, who reverts to hurdles after a spin on the Flat at Sandown, is another to consider. Mcpherson might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Beat The Heat 2nd Windy Cove 3rd Madeeh
