UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

SPECIAL DRAGON is gradually getting the hang of chasing and followed home an improving gelding at Uttoxeter. Off the same mark, she may be able to go one better, although Greenrock Abbey has joined James Owen since his Bangor fourth and might improve enough for it to make a nuisance of himself. Two miles around Ffos Las was probably too sharp for Calli Black on her fencing bow and she will be happier at this trip.
Prediction : 1st Special Dragon 2nd Greenrock Abbey 3rd Calli Black

Ile De Jersey warmed up for another crack at fences with a determined defeat of Masked Dance at Aintree, and that runner-up chased home Mermaids Cave at Huntingdon a week previously. The latter is also restarting her chasing career and does so on the back of a Cartmel second, but SOMESPRING SPECIAL is actually proven in this sphere. The seven-year-old has hit the crossbar twice since a good Wincanton triumph and seems the most reliable. Isabella Bee can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Somespring Special 2nd Ile De Jersey 3rd Mermaids Cave

LEADING FORCE successfully reverted to the bigger obstacles when justifying odds-on favouritism at Uttoxeter. Those who took the short price would have been forgiven for throwing their tickets away early in the straight, but he knuckled down and the application of a visor may help him. Masterdream was last of four on that occasion but might close the gap a bit, and Micronormous should do better now back over fences.
Prediction : 1st Leading Force 2nd Micronormous 3rd Masterdream

Related to Champion Hurdle winner Rooster Booster, NANA NOODLEMAN has the pedigree to excel in this sphere, while connections have a particularly good record at this track. Narrowly denied in a point-to-point last month, Son Of Tyran could be a decent recruit to this sphere for the Skeltons, while Lovis De Sceaux looks best of those with experience, having run with credit when second at Hereford for previous connections.
Prediction : 1st Nana Noodleman 2nd Son Of Tyran 3rd Lovis De Sceaux

Now in the hands of trainer Ben Case after getting off the mark over hurdles at Killarney last month, ROMANY BROWN may have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can go in again. Another one switching stables after a promising start in bumpers, Noble Miss is a key player, along with Dynamite Defense, who looks an intriguing recruit to the Olly Murphy yard.
Prediction : 1st Romany Brown 2nd Noble Miss 3rd Dynamite Defense

Dan Skelton's string have been going well of late and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for MADAJOVY to get off the mark on his hurdles bow following a pair of promising efforts in bumpers. A well-bred sort by Affinisea, Three Figs may be the pick of the newcomers for powerful connections, while Never Told Me could find improvement for joining the Fergal O'Brien stable.
Prediction : 1st Madajovy 2nd Three Figs 3rd Never Told Me

I'M A STARMAN struck by over two lengths over track and trip last time and may have been let off lightly with just a 6lb rise. The 12-year-old is in the form of his life at present and looks the one to beat again. Tropical Speed failed to justify favouritism when third at Ffos Las last month, but he might be worth another chance. Last-time-out Southwell scorer Faded Fantasy is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Im A Starman 2nd Tropical Speed 3rd Faded Fantasy

LEAVE HER TO ME successfully completed a double at Warwick on her most recent outing and she now has a 6lb higher mark to contend with. The daughter of Kayf Tara could take this step up in class in her stride, with her main threat possibly being Rockola after her runner-up effort at Fontwell last time. Lahinch Wave makes only her second start in a handicap and is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Leave Her To Me 2nd Rockola 3rd Lahinch Wave
