UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

TONTO FOLEY struck by just under four lengths in this grade at Hereford last month and he is only 7lb higher for that success. Christian Williams' six-year-old may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to complete the hat-trick, with his main danger possibly being Finalshot, who finished third in a class 4 event at Huntingdon in October last year and could have a say on his return. Tropical Talent is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Tonto Foley 2nd Finalshot 3rd Tropical Talent

BOB BOB RICARD struck on his chase/handicap debut at Ffos Las on his latest outing and a 5lb rise could prove to be on the lenient side. The son of Bathyrhon remains in the same grade and should have no issues with going up in trip, so he can record a double. Le Cameleon was beaten into third at Bangor last time but could get closer off a 2lb lower mark and with Gavin Sheehan booked, while Chess Player rates best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Bob Bob Ricard 2nd Le Cameleon 3rd Chess Player

ELYSIAN KNIGHT showed a fair amount of ability when he finished third on his debut at Fontwell and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he ought to go close. Everybodydancenow is related to plenty of winners and goes for the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start, while any market confidence behind All Well And Good should be noted too.
Prediction : 1st Elysian Knight 2nd Everybodydancenow 3rd All Well And Good

A competitive contest that may go the way of HIDALGO DE L'ISLE, who has his first start following wind surgery. Fourth in a better race when last seen in October, he is lightly raced for a seven-year-old and may have even more to offer. Enki Flacke can only improve for his first start in 18 months at Bangor and has to be considered, but Forget The Way could be the bigger danger with the booking of Harry Cobden an eye-catching one.
Prediction : 1st Hidalgo De Lisle 2nd Forget The Way 3rd Enki Flacke

Kintaro showed improvement when third at Bangor on his second start over hurdles, but the four-year-old will need to do a lot more if he wants to come home in front and a place looks more realistic. Touchwoodexpress had the speed to finish a length third in a bumper here last September and looks interesting dropping back in trip over hurdles, but SEEYOUINMYDREAMS is hard to oppose. She made all to win by 25 lengths over further at Fakenham and may try the same tactics over this distance.
Prediction : 1st Seeyouinmydreams 2nd Touchwoodexpress 3rd Kintaro

MELTON MOSSY showed the benefits of recent wind surgery when winning Ffos Las last month and, given that Evan Williams' charge remains open to further improvement having joined the yard since that victory, a subsequent 5lb rise might not stop him today. Lucky Lover Boy struck at Uttoxeter last time out and he is a player off 3lb higher, while Gorcombe Moonshine appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Melton Mossy 2nd Lucky Lover Boy 3rd Gorcombe Moonshine

HILLSIN was no match for an improver at Exeter in April, but Alan Jones' six-year-old made no mistake when going one place better at Newton Abbot three weeks ago. A 5lb rise looks well within range and he is taken to follow up. Soft ground could offer an excuse for Jaxonne's lack of finishing effort at Southwell last time, having travelled strongly into contention, so he's a worthy candidate now back on a sounder surface. Socialist Agenda completed a double on the Flat recently and is of interest returned to hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Hillsin 2nd Jaxonne 3rd Socialist Agenda
