UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

An impressive winner over course and distance last month, the Peter Bowen-trained COURTLAND appears to have been handed a decent opportunity to follow up from 6lb higher. Herewegohoney merits consideration following her recent Stratford second, especially with first-time cheekpieces being a potential source of improvement. Friary Rock can chase the pair home ahead of Somekindofstar, while Bagheera Ginge needs more to be involved.
Prediction : 1st Courtland 2nd Herewegohoney 3rd Friary Rock

TOM O'ROUGHLEY was well in contention when unseating his rider at Ffos Las 13 days ago. The son of Yeats had notched up two wins from his last three prior to that, though, and it would be no surprise were he to make an immediate return to form. Dindin continues to run well so he must enter the reckoning, while recent wind surgery could spark an improved showing from Oceans Red.
Prediction : 1st Tom ORoughley 2nd Dindin 3rd Oceans Red

Warren Greatrex has done well in these types of contests over the years and though his representative STORM RYDER sports a hood ahead of this debut, he gets the nod. A half-brother to five winners, most notably Brewin'upastorm, he should possess the ability to play a leading role. Debut winner Jeudidee can mount another stern challenge, while Footloose Man is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Storm Ryder 2nd Jeudidee 3rd Footloose Man

COOLNAUGH HAZE has been consistent since he joined Philip Hobbs and he has to be a leading player off the same mark as his recent second at Newton Abbot. Previous C&D winner Dasher Riley also has the scope to improve and is feared most back over this trip after fading over 2m4f at Southwell earlier in the month, while Sea The Clouds is respected but has something to find with selection based on recent Warwick form.
Prediction : 1st Coolnaugh Haze 2nd Dasher Riley 3rd Sea The Clouds

Nicky Henderson has been patient with LIGHTFOOT LADY since she made a winning start to her career by comfortably landing a Stratford bumper last March. She is a half-sister to another bumper winner, as well as hurdles/chase winner Truckers Hall, and can be assured to have been highly primed for this next phase of her development. Manimole has shown some ability over hurdles and, along with the unexposed Teeceethree, she can make this a good test for the selection.
Prediction : 1st Lightfoot Lady 2nd Manimole 3rd Teeceethree

Choirmaster sets the standard of those who have been racing in handicap company of late and can't be dismissed in a weak-looking affair. However, it may pay to take a chance on DEAL EM HIGH, whose opening mark of 83 could prove on the lenient side. Debra Hamer's gelding ran his best race to date when ridden more positively in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last month and could improve on that runner-up effort to succeed here. Three Macks also makes her first foray into this sphere and completes the shortilist.
Prediction : 1st Deal Em High 2nd Choirmaster 3rd Three Macks

KAPITALISTE posted one of his better efforts when finishing third at Newton Abbot in late-May and a 1lb rise may not prevent the seven-year-old from gaining a first success of the season. Never No Trouble arrives in good heart and is feared most with useful conditional William Maggs now onboard to take 7lb off her back. Haveyougotmymoney has often shaped as if this step up to 2m4f could bring about some improvement and also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Kapitaliste 2nd Never No Trouble 3rd Haveyougotmymoney
