UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Beat Box has notched three victories in quick succession since joining the Dan Skelton yard and he must be respected once more under a 7lb penalty for a recent Newton Abbot romp. That said, HIDALGO DE L'ISLE edges preference. The son of Coastal Path fairly bolted up on his chasing debut over this trip last month, and the suspicion is that a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. Second behind the selection on that occasion, Silent Revolution is also noteworthy, though it is difficult to see him reversing that form.
Prediction : 1st Hidalgo De Lisle 2nd Beat Box 3rd Silent Revolution

ISSUING AUTHORITY (sixth) finished ahead of Frere d'Armes (eighth) when the pair met in a warm handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter in June, though the former-mentioned shaped better than the bare result suggests on that occasion, making eye-catching late headway from well off the pace. Now stepping back up in trip eased 2lb, Nicky Henderson's charge gets the vote to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. Bagheera Ginge found only one rival too good over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last month, and he commands respect off 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Issuing Authority 2nd Frere dArmes 3rd Bagheera Ginge

In what looks a trappy affair, it may pay to take a leap of faith with the unraced SNITTERFIELD. Olly Muprhy has his string in fine form at present, and this gelded son of Diamond Boy, who is also a half-brother to the stable's smart hurdler Butch, can land the spoils at the first time of asking. Presenting Milan bumped into an in-form rival when finishing a gallant second on his debut in a Stratford bumper recently, and he must be of interest in a bid to go one place better. Third on his debut over an extended 2m at Bangor, Romeo Foxtrot is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Snitterfield 2nd Presenting Milan 3rd Romeo Foxtrot

Having found only unbeaten hurdler Feud too strong on his hurdles bow at Listowel in June, HANDLETHEKETTLE is likely to prove a warm order on his stable debut for Jamie Snowden. A similar performance is likely to prove good enough in these calmer waters and a first career victory looks imminent for the son of Youmzain. Although 3m point winner Manowest failed to build on his promising second over C&D in July when only fifth at the same venue earlier this month, he's still feared most, ahead of Soldier's Leap.
Prediction : 1st Handlethekettle 2nd Manowest 3rd Soldiers Leap

TRUST HOUSE was heading in the right direction when capping off his three-year-old campaign on the Flat with a breakthrough victory at Ripon. Returning from a 352-day layoff, the four-year-old makes his hurdles/stable bow for the Olly Murphy team and he could take all the beating if taking to this discipline. Light Dragoon sets the standard of those with hurdling experience and a reproduction of his C&D third in July is likely to see him in the mix, along with Definite Dream.
Prediction : 1st Trust House 2nd Light Dragoon 3rd Definite Dream

PRINCIPESSA drew clear of her nearest rival in the closing stages over 2m here on only her second start over timber. This extra distance should be within her compass on that evidence and John Butler's progressive filly may prove well treated on her handicap debut. Faha Belle finished second once again on her latest outing and will likely have a say in proceedings, while Quick Of The Night scored over 2m at the course in July and looks worth another try over this longer trip.
Prediction : 1st Principessa 2nd Faha Belle 3rd Quick Of The Night

Cheekpieces were added to SEA THE CLOUDS' usual tongue-tie at Cartmel and he duly resumed winning ways. He's been raised 3lb, but drops in class for this and there could be more to come in the new headgear. Taste The Fear was still going well when falling five fences from home at Southwell and has a chance racing off the same mark reverting to the smaller obstacles, while Charles St and Planet Legend are others worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Sea The Clouds 2nd Taste The Fear 3rd Charles St
