UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Grillon De Monty finished six lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Warwick last month and is noted. However, the sizeable drop in trip is a concern and, with that in mind, NEIGH BOTHA gets the vote. The eight-year-old has finished second in each of his last two starts in this grade/sphere and, provided he remains in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Solid Fuel is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Neigh Botha 2nd Grillon De Monty 3rd Solid Fuel

McGregors Charge failed to justify favouritism when third over 2m4f here earlier in the month, but there will be plenty who give him another chance. Pride Of Paris has Sean Bowen booked on his first outing for the Sarah-Jayne Davies yard and is an interesting contender, but a chance can be taken on PRINCE CLENI. The seven-year-old finished last of four in a tougher contest at Sedgefield in March, but is hard to ignore off his current mark and could bounce back.
Prediction : 1st Prince Cleni 2nd McGregors Charge 3rd Pride Of Paris

Despite still showing plenty of greenness, I'M A BELIEVER recorded his first career triumph at Market Rasen earlier in the month. The Twiston-Davies' four-year-old is likely to have lots of improvement in him and can defy his 7lb penalty. Bogha Baiste is related to winners and, with the Fergal O'Brien yard in red-hot form, he is one to take seriously. 85,000-pounds purchase Rony Has needs to be monitored closely in betting.
Prediction : 1st Im A Believer 2nd Bogha Baiste 3rd Rony Has

KATANA produced a career-best performance when filling the runner-up spot in a C&D novices' handicap and any further improvement might be enough for the five-year-old to come out on top. Picture Of You sets the standard with an official rating of 109, but she will need to settle having been pulled up on her last two starts. Ben Lomond heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Katana 2nd Picture Of You 3rd Ben Lomond

CURRUMBIN wasn't beaten that far into sixth on the level at Nottingham recently. The four-year-old stayed 2m well on the Flat so if able to transfer that ability over an obstaclle, he could go close. Tongue-tied for the first time ahead of his return, Seymourjohn appeals as one of the likelier candidates along with Kottayam, who makes his debut under Rules having finishing a narrow second between the flags at Loughrea last month.
Prediction : 1st Currumbin 2nd Seymourjohn 3rd Kottayam

LUSSO MILAN posted her best effort since joining current connections when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Stratford 25 days ago. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings for Mark Gillard's mare could prove to be lenient and a breakthrough victory may be on the cards. Init Together arrives on the back of a decent second over C&D and the seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Rukaana.
Prediction : 1st Lusso Milan 2nd Init Together 3rd Rukaana

Having landed the spoils at Huntingdon last month, a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent Ikigai Star from giving another good account. However, MY BOBBY'S LASS was quite taking given the amount of ground she made up to score over C&D 33 days ago and a 6lb higher mark could prove to be lenient. Mel Rowley's mare gets the vote, while it is too early to be writing off Alright Dai.
Prediction : 1st My Bobbys Lass 2nd Ikigai Star 3rd Alright Dai
