UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

STUMPS OR SLIPS has produced two respectable efforts in class 4 events the last twice and he goes off the same mark as his most recent third. Tom Weston's seven-year-old will appreciate the drop in grade and could be the one to beat. The main danger might be Duke Of Luckley, who filled the runner-up spot over C&D last time and holds an obvious chance. Mix Of Clover is another to note after last week's victory over the extended 2m here.
Prediction : 1st Stumps Or Slips 2nd Duke Of Luckley 3rd Mix Of Clover

ALMAZHAR GARDE finished just over four lengths clear of the third when he filled the runner-up berth over track and trip on his latest outing and he is only 2lb higher now. Charlie Longsdon's nine-year-old remains in the same grade and he ought to go close, with his main threat possibly Morning Spirit, who was well beaten in third at Market Rasen but could show more off a 2lb lower rating. Musical Slave is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Almazhar Garde 2nd Morning Spirit 3rd Musical Slave

ALL WELL AND GOOD shaped with plenty of promise when finding one too good on his debut over C&D and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal progression, he could prove very hard to beat. Loki's Mischief also produced a pleasing first effort when second over track and trip and it would be no surprise to see him feature. Any market support for newcomer Targa Blue, with Nico de Boinville booked, should be noted.
Prediction : 1st All Well And Good 2nd Lokis Mischief 3rd Targa Blue

Having offered plenty to work with on his second-placed handicap bow at Southwell, subsequent Bangor winner DOG FOX is worth sticking with. A 7lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of his ability and a double could beckon. A change of scenery worked the oracle for last month's surprise Newton Abbot victor Parikarma and she may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the returning Midnight Jewel.
Prediction : 1st Dog Fox 2nd Parikarma 3rd Midnight Jewel

I'M RAVENOUS found only a subsequent winner too strong at Wincanton in April. A 95-day absence should prove little issue for Ben Pauling's inmate and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to open his account in this sphere. The biggest danger may emerge from Applicationofcash, who is an intriguing stable debutant for a yard renowned for improving similar types. Market support for point-to-point winner Manowest on his Rules bow would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Im Ravenous 2nd Applicationofcash 3rd Manowest

FOURTOWNS has been consistent since joining the Ben Pauling yard and the form of his most recent third over 2m3f at Warwick has worked out well, with the second and fourth scoring since. Dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him and he may have too much for R S Ambush, who disappointed at Stratford but has strong claims on his previous second at Hexham. An encouraging third on his hurdles bow over C&D, Ebony Warrior can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Fourtowns 2nd R S Ambush 3rd Ebony Warrior

A progressive sort on the Flat last season, BLOW YOUR HORN has slowly found his way over hurdles and stepping up to this trip for the first time looks like a good move. The form of the Ian Williams stable is another plus, and it may be that the veteran Cash Again is the first to follow him home following a highly creditable second over fences at Cartmel. Prolific on the point-to-point circuit, Voodoo Doll makes the shortlist, as do Faerie Cutlass and No Rematch.
Prediction : 1st Blow Your Horn 2nd Cash Again 3rd Faerie Cutlass
