UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

King Of The Story is bidding to complete a hat-trick over C&D and, based on his latest success, he holds every chance off an 8lb higher rating. However, JUST CHASING MAY made a pleasing return to action when scoring in comfortable fashion over the smaller obstacles here in June and as long as the six-year-old transfers that form to fences, he could prove hard to beat. Isocrate isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Just Chasing May 2nd King Of The Story 3rd Isocrate

FAITQUE DE L'ISLE hosed up in this class over 3m at Ludlow in February and now makes his return to the fray. The veteran has a 9lb higher mark to contend with but if James Evans' charge is in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Henry Box Brown has occupied the runner-up berth over 2m4f here the last twice and is unexposed over this distance, so he has to be respected. Grillon De Monty is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Faitque De LIsle 2nd Henry Box Brown 3rd Grillon De Monty

SIOUXFONIC shaped with lots of promise on his first start at Tipperary and has since switched to the James Owen stable. With any amount of improvement to come and the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Rodeo finished second on his debut at Market Rasen in June and is likely to improve on that effort. Axel Bleue struck at the same venue last month and should mount a bold bid, despite his 7lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Siouxfonic 2nd Rodeo 3rd Axel Bleue

Having posted some creditable efforts in defeat in Ireland, DREAM DIAMOND makes plenty of appeal now with James Owen. A repeat of the five-year-old's latest third at Wexford could prove strong enough in these calmer waters and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Fellow stable debutant Mount Anglesby has been running well between the flags this year and, despite this distance looking on the sharp side, is feared most, ahead of smart Flat performer Penzance.
Prediction : 1st Dream Diamond 2nd Mount Anglesby 3rd Penzance

DROMBEG LAD should have learned plenty from his second-placed hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month and any improvement might make him tough to beat. Alex Hales' charge was caught too far back and should enjoy this long straight. Washpool arrives on the back of his best effort under Rules to date when finishing third over C&D and can make his presence felt once more, while market support for dual point-to-point winner Slievehill would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Drombeg Lad 2nd Washpool 3rd Slievehill

A switch to handicaps off a lowly mark did the trick for CINDERELLO when opening her account at Uttoxeter last month. The five-year-old displayed a willing attitude and she looks more than capable of defying a 4lb rise. Noble Recall lost little in defeat when finding only a handicap blot too strong over 2m4f here and he could prove a live threat if seeing out the trip. Pooroldmackley is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cinderello 2nd Noble Recall 3rd Pooroldmackley

A Mere Bagatelle has had two races on the Flat since joining James Owen from the Shark Hanlon yard in Ireland, and he has to be of interest having run well over this trip over both hurdles and fences. ASLUKGOES missed the whole of 2024 but the triple bumper winner built on his comeback second with a win here in July and if he gets the extra half-mile, he will be a force to reckon with. Money To Burn could follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Aslukgoes 2nd A Mere Bagatelle 3rd Money To Burn

Quick Of The Night has course form with two wins over two miles, but she hasn't seen out this trip in the past and might have to settle for a place. LAST NOTE has to give weight away all round, but she took well to a hood at Market Rasen when second in a race she might have won barring a mistake at the last and she looks the one to beat now. Ballyhiho is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Last Note 2nd Quick Of The Night 3rd Ballyhiho
