UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

The winner of two of his last three starts over fences, THICKTHORN TOM looks worth sticking with. He rallied well in the closing stages at Stratford last time, when taking advantage of a mistake at the last by the favourite, and Dan Skelton's progressive charge is taken to go in again. Thank You Blue posted an improved effort at Cartmel recently. He could prove the main threat to the selection, ahead of Atreides.
Prediction : 1st Thickthorn Tom 2nd Thank You Blue 3rd Atreides

Without a win over hurdles, KNIGHTSBRIDGE is proving a much better chaser having won two of his three starts so far over the larger obstacles. He scored nicely over 2m4f here last time and the hat-trick beckons for the six-year-old with this longer trip not an issue. Market Rasen winner Huckleberry Sting arrives in fine form. He should make a race of it, while the veteran I'm A Starman is still capable of making the frame.
Prediction : 1st Knightsbridge 2nd Huckleberry Sting 3rd Im A Starman

LOMAN LADY failed to land the odds at Hexham on last month's hurdling bow. However, that run came only eight days after her bumper success at the same track and Dan Skelton's mare looks to have a good opportunity to prove her latest running all wrong. Trigger The Light finished a creditable third at Southwell on his hurdling debut considering that was his first outing of the year. He could land a blow, while Mirabello also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Loman Lady 2nd Trigger The Light 3rd Mirabello

Wait At The Gate won a point-to-point in April and has now moved to David Bridgwater for a career under Rules, with his pedigree suggesting he could have the speed for this trip. Chemistry won twice on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and once over hurdles for Jennie Candlish and could prove the biggest danger to Dan Skelton's SQUARE D'ALBONI. Rated 108 at his peak on the Flat, he won his maiden hurdle at Stratford with ease and looks to have a bright future in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Square Dalboni 2nd Chemistry 3rd Wait At The Gate

Fane Court was not disgraced when a seven-length third over C&D last Friday and he comes into calculations, but FINAL ENTRY seems the one on an upward curve. With no stamina issues after winning narrowly over much further at Newton Abbot, he showed a willing attitude that day and could shrug off the extra 4lb. Hardy Buck appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Final Entry 2nd Fane Court 3rd Hardy Buck

Dublinofficecallin is better than we have seen recently having won over this distance at Perth in April off 4lb lower, and if he brushes up his hurdling he could get involved. Phantom Gold failed to cheer up favourite backers when a short-head second here at the start of the month but he has to cope with 3lb more here, leaving OCTOBER HILL as the pick. Brought down three out at Worcester in June when travelling well enough, she won her previous race at Ffos Las and arrives with every chance.
Prediction : 1st October Hill 2nd Phantom Gold 3rd Dublinofficecallin
