UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Stumps Or Slips is a decent sort, winning very easily here in June before being pulled up at Bangor after making far too many mistakes. He may struggle to give 24lb to MISS ANTIPOVA, who deserves a first success over fences after five consecutive second places, the latest when only beaten a length and a quarter at Uttoxeter over further. First-time cheekpieces may work the oracle, while Imac Wood is an interesting alternative assuming he improves for his first start after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Miss Antipova 2nd Stumps Or Slips 3rd Imac Wood

Pottlerath is entitled to go well here having won twice at the track over this trip, but he does need a career best off this mark and CARLO DU BERLAIS is preferred. The winner of two of his three starts over fences, including last time out at Uttoxeter over three miles, he has another 5lb here but is lightly raced and should still be improving. Recent winners Reserve Tank and Mr Mafia can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Carlo Du Berlais 2nd Pottlerath 3rd Reserve Tank

In an interesting contest there are plenty in with chances, though none more so than WINTERWATCH. Three times a winner on the Flat, he has come home second on his last three starts over hurdles and will be race-fit after running on the level earlier in the month. Gaius won his maiden here with ease before seemingly coming unstuck on heavy ground at Cartmel, and he could go well along with The Derry Girl and bumper winner Jeudidee.
Prediction : 1st Winterwatch 2nd Gaius 3rd The Derry Girl

SEA THE CLOUDS found only a subsequent winner too strong over C&D at the start of the month and a similar level of performance may be enough to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings. Izayte arrives in good heart judged on his last two runner-up efforts over 2m and could emerge as the chief threat if seeing out this trip. Oslo caught the eye on his return at Bangor recently and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Sea The Clouds 2nd Izayte 3rd Oslo

KAZONTHERAZZ shaped better than the bare form suggests on her return at Uttoxeter last month and the drop to 2m4f could prove just the tonic for Martin Keighley's mare. Beholden looks to have a race of this nature within his compass judged on last year's second at Huntingdon and the Cacique gelding shouldn't be underestimated on the return from a 474-day layoff. Cawthorne Lad is entitled to improve on his first run for new connections when third at Stratford in June.
Prediction : 1st Kazontherazz 2nd Beholden 3rd Cawthorne Lad

A taking winner of a bumper at Newton Abbot last time out, FOUNTAINSPINKLADY can be trusted to follow up on her hurdling bow. The step up in trip doesn't look as though it will inconvenience her and she gets the vote ahead of Sunday Soldier and Jolie Baie, who ran a career best when runner-up over C&D last month. Impression Chic is interesting too.
Prediction : 1st Fountainspinklady 2nd Jolie Baie 3rd Sunday Soldier

Denied by the narrowest of margins over C&D last time out, CLASSIC CONCORDE deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. The 10-year-old is capable of landing a third career victory, with the in-form Judge Earle and last month's C&D winner Woodie Flash looking best placed to chase him home. Best Mate Dave and Blue Sans cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Classic Concorde 2nd Judge Earle 3rd Woodie Flash
