UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

The application of first-time cheekpieces got more out of last month's C&D winner Calvic. He must enter calculations, but a 6lb higher mark leaves him vulnerable and it might be worth taking a chance on SOMEKINDOFSTAR, who arrives on the back of a staying-on third over an extended 2m at Fakenham. The Matt Crawley-trained veteran should relish a return to this distance and a fifth career victory could beckon. Tribesmans Glory makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Somekindofstar 2nd Calvic 3rd Tribesmans Glory

BBOLD rolled back the years when scoring for the first time since 2022 at Stratford recently and the Daisy Hitchins-trained 10-year-old appeared to have enough in hand to suggest that he can defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. The biggest threat could be posed by last-time-out Bangor winner Almazhar Garde, although the class-dropping Ajp Kingdom returned to form with a solid second over track and trip and is a contender too.
Prediction : 1st Bbold 2nd Almazhar Garde 3rd Ajp Kingdom

Hola Hermosa offered much more encouragement with her placed effort at Stratford and she isn't taken lightly. However, ALL INN HAND is entitled to build on her opening third at Uttoxeter and any improvement should make her difficult to pass. Point-to-point runner-up Back In The Bay possesses enough speed in her pedigree to suggest that she could play a part on her Rules debut, and the market may prove informative.
Prediction : 1st All Inn Hand 2nd Hola Hermosa 3rd Back In The Bay

Captain Attridge's recent Hereford second hasn't worked out particularly well but Henry Oliver's in-form gelding merits respect, while shock Southwell bumper winner Moonscape Girl, a half-sister to the useful Thecompanysergeant, is an interesting contender ahead of her hurdling bow. Her stablemate VOCITO has looked rejuvenated since joining the Olly Murphy team, though, and he's taken to follow up last month's C&D triumph.
Prediction : 1st Vocito 2nd Captain Attridge 3rd Moonscape Girl

A few with chances, but JOLIE BAIE sprung a surprise on her return from the sidelines at Ffos Las in May and a 6lb rise might not stop the unexposed five-year-old. Hugueneau forced a dead-heat for top honours, before placing first outright, over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon last time out. This longer trip could unlock further improvement and he merits respect, as do Fine By Me and Caspers Court.
Prediction : 1st Jolie Baie 2nd Hugueneau 3rd Fine By Me

This looks like a decent opportunity for ELECTRIC EDDY to get off the mark following a career-best effort when running on for third over slightly further at Newton Abbot. The six-year-old remains on the same rating and he may have too much for The Sad Shepherd, who would hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate third at Stratford. Ferrybridge and Kentucky Bluegrass are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Electric Eddy 2nd The Sad Shepherd 3rd Ferrybridge

The form of MAYS HILL's recent second over C&D has worked out extremely well, with the winner and the third scoring since, and Fergal O'Brien's mare may be able to follow suit, with Jack Hogan taking off a handy 3lb. Inspector Lynley might be the one to follow her home after filling the runner-up berth over further at Stratford. Easter Junction and Hazels Delight are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mays Hill 2nd Inspector Lynley 3rd Easter Junction
