UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

DON OCCHETTI has put in bold displays the last twice, including his third at Market Rasen last month, and he is just 1lb higher for that performance. Dan Skelton's six-year-old may only have to run to a similar level of form in order to get on the scoresheet for the first time. Pittsburg has failed to fire in two recent spins on the Flat, but he was victorious at Uttoxeter in this sphere prior to those efforts and may get into contention. Of the remainder, Bensini makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Don Occhetti 2nd Pittsburg 3rd Bensini

HIDDEN DEPTHS accounted for his nearest rival by just under two lengths over track and trip on his penultimate start and competes off only 4lb higher. Neil Mulholland's nine-year-old has been seen on the level since and looks to have lots in his favour, with his main threat possibly Olivers Travels, who showed big improvement to score in first-time cheekpieces over C&D. Pilot Show is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Hidden Depths 2nd Olivers Travels 3rd Pilot Show

Lady Wormsley had Miss Kassiopi (fifth) behind when well held in third over track and trip before only managing sixth next time. She could have a say in this weak contest, but the vote goes to PURE SEDUCTION. Fergal O'Brien's four-year-old, who offered encouragement between the flags, was prominent in the market when failing to land a blow on her bumper debut at Uttoxeter, but could prove to be a different proposition on her first start over hurdles. Ghost Jury completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pure Seduction 2nd Lady Wormsley 3rd Ghost Jury

WALK OF THE ROSES hasn't shown much improvement since her hurdling debut, with the five-year-old a beaten favourite at Uttoxeter last time. However, the application of a tongue-tie may well change her fortunes in a contest that shouldn't take much winning on paper. Idylle Sauvage returns from a small break and is respected having placed at Warwick in May. Others to note include Keppel Queen and newcomer Primary Explosive.
Prediction : 1st Walk Of The Roses 2nd Idylle Sauvage 3rd Keppel Queen

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME finally got off the mark for Willie Mullins when not needing to come out of second gear at Warwick in May. The eight-year-old, who has been a tricky customer in the past, is entitled to build on that success, despite this being a more competitive race. Light Fandango, who scored at Uttoxeter on his first start for Neil Mulholland, and Wilful are both open to further improvement and the pair may well serve it up to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Onlyamatteroftime 2nd Light Fandango 3rd Wilful

The application of first-time cheekpieces helped MALAGO ROSE travel with more verve when opening her account at Southwell in June. Simon Earle's mare drew clear with a subsequent winner and she is fancied to make light work of a 6lb higher mark. Catuaba justified strong support in the market when making all at Stratford and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of triple course winner No Way Pedro.
Prediction : 1st Malago Rose 2nd Catuaba 3rd No Way Pedro

Although SUPREME YEATS could only manage fifth when a warm order at Market Rasen, a sedate gallop didn't help his cause on that occasion. A 61-day layoff may revitalise the Dan Skelton-trained eight-year-old and he's likely to pay dividends if back to his best. Close-up Stratford third Fashionelle is a potential improver now upped to 2m4f and can give another good account, while market support for handicap/stable debutant African Lady would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Yeats 2nd Fashionelle 3rd African Lady
