UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Aslukgoes appeared to be taking to chasing but for stumbling and unseating his rider close to the business end at Cartmel a fortnight ago and must enter calculations on his second attempt over fences. That said, it could be worth taking a chance on CAPTAIN BOUDET, who appeared to do too much in a first-time visor when weakening into sixth over 2m7f here and this drop in distance might prove just the ticket. Chase debutant Evening Tess is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Captain Boudet 2nd Aslukgoes 3rd Evening Tess

Having made the most of some respite from the assessor when scoring at Newton Abbot, Edgewell should give another good account. However, a 4lb higher mark does demand more of him and it could be worth chancing GETAWAY VIC on his handicap/chase bow. The seven-year-old boasts a point-to-point victory to his name and connections waste little time in sending him over the larger obstacles after three creditable efforts in defeat over timber. Always Busy and Ridin Solo may also figure in the finish.
Prediction : 1st Getaway Vic 2nd Edgewell 3rd Always Busy

Although pulled up in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter, REGARDE makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters. The nine-year-old is best known for his chasing exploits and relatively recent runner-up efforts at Haydock and Aintree in handicap chase company show that he's still got plenty of ability. Penalised hurdle winners Kiwi De Cotte and Yellow Card are sure to have their supporters, with the former feared most after making a winning stable bow at Market Rasen.
Prediction : 1st Regarde 2nd Kiwi De Cotte 3rd Yellow Card

OUR GUIDE continued his upward trajectory when completing a hat-trick on his handicap bow over C&D. Jamie Snowden's charge can improve in the jumping department, but he could still prove a tough nut to crack given his finishing effort. Both Ebony Warrior and American Mike posted strong efforts over 2m7f here last month, although this drop back in distance could be enough to thwart them.
Prediction : 1st Our Guide 2nd Ebony Warrior 3rd American Mike

Little Ledgend arrives on the back of a respectable second at Market Rasen and a 1lb drop in the ratings can only improve his chance of winning. Olly Murphy's charge isn't taken lightly with Sean Bowen back in the plate, but reopposing third ESTACAS gets the vote. The nine-year-old shaped like the second-best horse that day before weakening late on and compensation could be on the cards. Play Pretend and Bells Of Ufford are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Estacas 2nd Little Ledgend 3rd Play Pretend

LACRIMA, a four-time winner over fences during his time in France, got off the mark over hurdles over 2m7f here last week and he escapes a penalty so could be tough to overhaul if cutting back in trip doesn't cause any issues. County Champs was consistent in this discipline when trained in Ireland and is one to consider resuming from a break for a shrewd yard. Scintillante is another key player.
Prediction : 1st Lacrima 2nd County Champs 3rd Scintillante

BEST NIGHT has posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat so far this summer, the latest of which came when third at Stratford. It's fair to say many of these arrive with something to prove and this should present her with a fine opportunity as a result. Quick Of The Night enters calculations, and handicap hurdle debutant Caterpillar Girl is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Best Night 2nd Quick Of The Night 3rd Caterpillar Girl

Prolific over fences, Hold Your Fort can race off a much lower mark now reverting to hurdling. Saying that, he came up short here last autumn when last seen over the smaller obstacles and ONEINTHEWELL looks a safer proposition. James Owen's charge found only one too good at Market Rasen on his first outing since February and another bold bid is anticipated. Jefe Triunfo posted a better effort at Southwell last time, and Ballela Blaze could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Oneinthewell 2nd Hold Your Fort 3rd Jefe Triunfo
