UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

SHE HAS NOTIONS accounted for his nearest rival by over two lengths in this grade over C&D last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 5lb for that triumph. Martin Keighley's seven-year-old looks to have lots in his favour and will prove tough to beat. Lost Connections has finished fourth on each of her last two starts over track and trip and she could get closer off the same mark. Stratford winner Invincible Wish is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st She Has Notions 2nd Lost Connections 3rd Invincible Wish

KINONDO KWETU had Hang In There (third) behind when scoring by half a length over 3m2f at Uttoxeter last month and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose any problems, Sam England's charge can record the double. As for the latter, he could take closer order if he settles better this time around. Vintage Fizz is also worth a second look after his sixth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen.
Prediction : 1st Kinondo Kwetu 2nd Hang In There 3rd Vintage Fizz

QUEEN OF THE VALE made a highly encouraging bumper debut when scoring by two lengths over C&D last month and she could take a big step forward from that triumph. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old looks well placed to carry her penalty to success. Versace Twentyone is a fascinating contender on her first start for the Sheila Lewis stable after making a victorious debut under Rules at Roscommon last month and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the betting market, along with newcomer Ma Barker.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of The Vale 2nd Versace Twentyone 3rd Ma Barker

LETTERSTON LILY lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent Irish Listed scorer Gale Mahler too strong at Market Rasen last month and compensation could be imminent. Although Al Gasparo finished in fifth behind that winner at Galway, he could be dangerous if gaining an easy lead. Gavin Cromwell's charge is unlikely here to just make up the numbers and he's feared most, ahead of fellow penalised winners Ebony Warrior and Full Monty.
Prediction : 1st Letterston Lily 2nd Al Gasparo 3rd Ebony Warrior

Although it was too early to tell how competitive KITESURFER would have been when falling at the ninth hurdle at Uttoxeter last month, he likely has more to come over staying distances judged on his penultimate 3m2f victory at Fontwell. Jamie Snowden's gelding is fancied to go close if over that mishap and he edges the verdict ahead of Hillsin. The six-year-old finished second in the same race as the selection's fall and another prominent showing is forecast. Last-time-out C&D winners Red Hugh and Kiss My Face are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Kitesurfer 2nd Hillsin 3rd Red Hugh

Both of JUMEIRAH KING's victories over timber have come over C&D and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his second attempt in handicap company. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is capable of further improvement and gets the vote at the main expense of Donnie Azoff, who finished second at Uttoxeter last time when switched back to hurdles. Others for the shortlist include Grivetana and Sea Prince.
Prediction : 1st Jumeirah King 2nd Donnie Azoff 3rd Grivetana

Pop The Champagne has run with credit on both attempts over hurdles this summer and the eight-year-old is likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. Manorbank remains open to improvement, but the vote goes to MY CHIQUITA. Runner-up at Aintree in May, a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop her from gaining a third career success in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st My Chiquita 2nd Pop The Champagne 3rd Manorbank
