UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

AXEL BLEUE has stepped forward on his last couple of starts over fences, with a C&D success followed by a narrow defeat here. A recent wind operation combined with the switch from James to Sean Bowen are unlikely to do his claims any harm. The hat-trick seeking Gata Ban is likely to enter the reckoning once again, while Camino Rocio has to be of interest on stable debut for Dan Skelton.
Prediction : 1st Axel Bleue 2nd Gata Ban 3rd Camino Rocio

AT THE OCHE hit the bullseye on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter when doing particularly well to recover from a bad mistake at a crucial stage. Despite a 9lb rise for that success, it wouldn't be a surprise if the five-year-old had plenty of improvement to come in this sphere. Pep Talking also won last time at the Midlands venue and is respected, along with Little Ledgend, who makes his first appearance over the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st At The Oche 2nd Pep Talking 3rd Little Ledgend

TURBOGEIST displayed a fair amount of promise when second over C&D on his racecourse debut and that experience is unlikely to be lost on him returning from a three-month absence. Things didn't quite go as expected for Stratford winner Thetype Istitle at Uttoxeter last month but the booking of Harry Cobden is significant and she may well bounce back. Newcomers Delulu and Pedro's Moon appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Turbogeist 2nd Thetype Istitle 3rd Delulu

Although the 124-rated Whinney Hill would take all the beating if running to his best form, he has plenty to prove on his stable/British debut. With that in mind it may pay to look elsewhere, with fellow ex-Irish recruit THISCOULDBETHEONE topping the bill. Now under the tutelage of Henry Oliver, the five-year-old was last seen finishing third at Tramore and a similar performance may suffice. Down To Business is feared most on the back of a wind procedure, ahead of Network Gold.
Prediction : 1st Thiscouldbetheone 2nd Down To Business 3rd Network Gold

The hat-trick seeking Cawthorne Banker merits plenty of respect given his current vein of form and he's fancied to confirm his superiority over reopposing runner-up Ocean Heights, despite the latter being 4lb better off. However, it could be worth chancing the returning GRAECIA, who scored over C&D on her last visit to this track and may have been freshened up by a break. Playful Fox and the unexposed Network Rgb are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Graecia 2nd Cawthorne Banker 3rd Ocean Heights

Dream Diamond has proved expensive to follow since scoring over 2m here last August, for all that he's posted some creditable efforts in defeat this summer. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only help the six-year-old, but handicap debutant TROUVILLE is open to more improvement. Olly Murphy's inmate wasn't disgraced shouldering a 7lb penalty when fourth on his most recent outing at Uttoxeter and this step up in distance is forecast to suit. The hat-trick seeking Harry is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Trouville 2nd Dream Diamond 3rd Harry

Having been knocking on the door in maiden company, an opening mark of 100 could see DIAMOND WHITE shedding her maiden tag. The third from her latest runner-up effort at Newton Abbot subsequently won here and the O'Neills' mare looks nicely treated. Mya Du Clos posted her best effort to date when finishing second at Uttoxeter 71 days ago and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Kylenoe Dancer
Prediction : 1st Diamond White 2nd Mya Du Clos 3rd Kylenoe Dancer
