UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

MOFASA was highly tried as a novice hurdler last season and finished third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January. The seven-year-old now makes his debut for Paul Nicholls and he could prove hard to beat on his chasing bow. Broadway Boy has to be respected given how well he ended his last campaign, while Coconut Splash is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mofasa 2nd Broadway Boy 3rd Coconut Splash

CHESS PLAYER was a very impressive winner over an extended 2m3f at Stratford a month ago and a 7lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old from going in again. Chestnut Pete has filled second place on his last couple of starts and could do so once again, while course second Mutual Respect completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Chess Player 2nd Chestnut Pete 3rd Mutual Respect

Mylesfromwicklow looks likely to go well once again having hit the crossbar in all three starts under Rules to date. However, BEACHCOMBER bolted up at Chepstow in February and his subsequent effort in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham can easily be forgiven. Flying Fortune also has to be respected given her form in NH Flat races, while Push The Button is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Beachcomber 2nd Mylesfromwicklow 3rd Flying Fortune

Young Merlin puts his unbeaten record over hurdles on the line in this series final and Amy Murphy's charge shouldn't be far away off 4lb higher than last month's Cartmel success. Marginal preference, however, is for ALLIHIES, who relished the step up in trip when winning over C&D in July and Dan Skelton's four-year-old can defy a 6lb rise. Our Scholar seeks a five-timer and merits respect, while Sean Bowen taking the ride on Gaius over his stablemate En Avant should be noted too.
Prediction : 1st Allihies 2nd Young Merlin 3rd Our Scholar

MA BELLE NOIRE struck with something in hand over C&D earlier this month and, given the authority of that success, a 7lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable. Blue Sans has upped her game this year and she is likely to be in the shake-up once again now only 5lb higher than when completing a hat-trick at Southwell. Artemis Angel arrives in good heart and also enters calculations on the return to 2m7f.
Prediction : 1st Ma Belle Noire 2nd Blue Sans 3rd Artemis Angel

CARDANO arrives fresh from a Flat victory at Epsom and, given his clear ability in that sphere, looks to be nicely treated now entering handicaps over hurdles. The seven-year-old is fancied to gain a first success in this discipline, possibly at the main expense of Up For Appeal. Christian Williams' gelding gained a breakthrough success at Stratford last month and should give the selection plenty to think about off only 5lb higher. The reliable Getaway Tom warrants consideration too.
Prediction : 1st Cardano 2nd Up For Appeal 3rd Getaway Tom
