UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

A fiendishly difficult contest to get proceedings underway and only a tentative vote can go to SHUIL CEOIL. Neil Mulholland has his string in fine form and his representative, who was largely consistent over hurdles, looks certain to appreciate the switch to fences and may well progress upped in distance. Point-to-point winner Flash In The Park wasted little time over timber and must be respected on his stable debut, while C&D winner Lermoos Legend could pick up some minor money.
Prediction : 1st Shuil Ceoil 2nd Flash In The Park 3rd Lermoos Legend

Third when trying to land a premier handicap at Aintree's Grand National meeting for the second season running on her latest appearance, WEST BALBOA was head and shoulders above her rivals over the smaller obstacles and will take all the beating if responding well to this switch to fences. Glimpse Of Gala hit the crossbar on her sole previous chase start and she might be the main threat. El Elefante heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st West Balboa 2nd Glimpse Of Gala 3rd El Elefante

Runner-up on his Rules debut over C&D last month, START AGAIN looks sure to step forward. He can put that experience to good use and go one better, although Ocean Walz, who has had to settle for second on both of his career starts so far, should produce another solid performance. The booking of Nico de Boinville for the Flat-bred Aim Straight catches the eye and the son of Australia warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Start Again 2nd Ocean Walz 3rd Aim Straight

Bumper winner KING ROLY made a successful debut over hurdles over C&D last month. He had more in hand than the winning margin suggests and is taken to shrug off a penalty, with plenty more to come. Big John Wayne returns to action having looked an unlucky loser at Newcastle back in February when falling at the last. Point-to-point winner Clondaw General is related to winners over timber and is worth a second glance debuting under Rules.
Prediction : 1st King Roly 2nd Big John Wayne 3rd Clondaw General

Dual bumper scorer THE KEMBLE BREWERY failed to help his cause with a bad mistake at the first at Cheltenham on his hurdling debut. He could only manage third on that occasion, but will have benefited from the experience and can feature on his reappearance. The penalised Saint Cyr De Pail struck at Exeter on his hurdling bow back in April and could have a say in proceedings, while bumper winners Jurancon and Kap De Triomphe are worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st The Kemble Brewery 2nd Saint Cyr De Pail 3rd Jurancon

Freddie Gingell and RYDER'S ROCK struck up a good rapport with a game win in a similar event at Newton Abbot last month and must have every chance of following up from just a 3lb higher mark. Crystal Glance has been given plenty of time since breaking her duck at Bangor in May and is another must for consideration on just her third career start. Miss Goldfire and Stratford winner Bob O Rhino are also feared.
Prediction : 1st Ryders Rock 2nd Crystal Glance 3rd Miss Goldfire

A 200-day break failed to stop DOUBLE POWERFUL from completing a hat-trick when he ran away with a conditional riders' event at Kelso 10 days ago and, with back form showing he can cope with a quick turnaround between races, he could be difficult to overhaul from the same mark. Robber's Bridge was a C&D winner when last seen and is a key player if picking up where he left off in July. Midnight Jewel completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Double Powerful 2nd Robbers Bridge 3rd Midnight Jewel
