UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Ragamuffin ran much better over C&D last time than the bare result suggests, almost coming to a standstill when clobbering the final ditch, and he warrants respect off a 1lb lower mark, but Irish raider HAZRAN is chanced on his first run since last May. He only found the then 136-rated Antey too good at Limerick when last sighted and a similar level of performance would make him tough to beat. Blue Collar Glory is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Hazran 2nd Ragamuffin 3rd Blue Collar Glory

BALLYMILAN supplemented last month's C&D success in fine style at Huntingdon 26 days ago and she could take some stopping in her bid to complete the hat-trick, despite a further 5lb rise. Etat Major Aulmes did the job nicely at Fontwell last time and he merits consideration off a 5lb higher mark, while The Big Sting, Heydour and Jersey add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Ballymilan 2nd Etat Major Aulmes 3rd The Big Sting

After attracting market support, ON THE BANDWAGON returned to form when second at Southwell last month, pulling clear with the winner, and Jonjo O'Neill's gelding can get off the mark. Gouet Des Bruyeres has finished runner-up on all three starts this year and is feared as he seeks his second course win, while Getthepot, who drops back in grade, can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st On The Bandwagon 2nd Gouet Des Bruyeres 3rd Getthepot

A half-sister to Grade 1-winning hurdler Black Tears, SAY YOU SAY ME is an intriguing newcomer for Gordon Elliott and gets the nod ahead of Walk Of No Shame, who made an encouraging start to her career when finishing third at Southwell last month. Nicky Henderson sends out debutant Mistress Emma and the daughter of Mount Nelson also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Say You Say Me 2nd Walk Of No Shame 3rd Mistress Emma

After travelling well, ROOKIE TRAINER showed a willing attitude when scoring over course and distance last month and can follow up off a 5lb higher mark. Dalkingstown was successful over fences at this track last time and commands respect, while the Dan Skelton-trained Starsky, who fell at the last when still bang in contention at Warwick on his latest start, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Rookie Trainer 2nd Dalkingstown 3rd Starsky

GIVE ME A MOMENT has already won three times over fences in 2022 and the seven-year-old should take plenty of stopping now switched to the smaller obstacles. Ike Sport made the frame on his UK/stable debut over 2m4f here recently and he could go well once again today. Dasher Riley won on his Rules debut over C&D recently but a 7lb penalty for that success has to be a concern.
Prediction : 1st Give Me A Moment 2nd Ike Sport 3rd Dasher Riley

JESSICA RABBIT returned to winning ways in impressive fashion over 2m4f at Uttoxeter two weeks ago and a 6lb rise for that win may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old this afternoon. Into The Sunset failed to fire last time but is a player based on his previous victory at Bangor, while Right Turn and Masterdream also make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jessica Rabbit 2nd Into The Sunset 3rd Right Turn
