UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Jo Arengeot Bey Aa arrives in decent form and finished third at Sedgefield a day after Man Oh Man found one too good over hurdles at Newton Abbot. BROADWAY HONEY also switches from the smaller obstacles and may take the necessary step forward for it because she is a half-sister to the yard's former high-class chaser Broadway Boy. Izzy's Grey was disappointing at Uttoxeter last time, but warrants consideration on his previous second at the same venue.
Prediction : 1st Broadway Honey 2nd Jo Arengeot Bey Aa 3rd Izzys Grey

Competitive fare, despite the small field, but YOUDECIDE has been much improved since returning from a break and is worth sticking with on his hat-trick mission. Glen To Glen made a successful beginning to life with Nick Scholfield at Perth, while Crebilly returned to fences with a solid Stratford second. Snipe occupied the same position at Newton Abbot when switching back to handicaps from the hunter chase ranks, and C&D winner Karnaval Point won't be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Youdecide 2nd Glen To Glen 3rd Crebilly

DELULU was easy to back, but so nearly made a successful start to her career over C&D. The performance was all the more meritorious considering she struck trouble at a crucial stage and she had a length in hand over the third-placed Spanish Darling, who had the benefit of a couple of point-to-point wins under his belt. Megatothemax has a hood fitted after failing to build on a pleasing introduction on her first appearance for the Frosts at Sedgefield.
Prediction : 1st Delulu 2nd Spanish Darling 3rd Megatothemax

LOCK STOCK displayed plenty of promise on his first couple of starts over timber before disappointing at Kempton on Boxing Day. While it is concerning he bled from the nose on that occasion, the six-year-old has been given plenty of time to recover and could prove a tough nut to crack on his first appearance for a new yard. Fellow stable debutant Sytadel is a fascinating hurdling newcomer for Dan Skelton and he's feared most, while market support for Action Replay would be interesting too.
Prediction : 1st Lock Stock 2nd Sytadel 3rd Action Replay

FOREST SPIRIT took a step in the right direction when third here over 2m4f last month and the manner of that performance suggested that going up in distance was worth trying again. Athena's Dream may benefit from a first-time visor and is capable of another decent showing after a string of consistent efforts. Brionywells and Could Be You appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Forest Spirit 2nd Athenas Dream 3rd Brionywells

BERRY EDGE was heading in the right direction when trained by David Thompson and there is every chance that Dan Skelton can improve him further. The eight-year-old was last seen posting a solid third at Wetherby in March and he makes plenty of appeal on his stable bow off an unchanged mark. Sweet Serene ended her last campaign with a breakthrough victory at Exeter and market support on her return to action may prove the best guide. Jessie Jump Jet could also feature in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Berry Edge 2nd Sweet Serene 3rd Jessie Jump Jet

Bathara has some fair bumper form to his name and his latest third at Warwick was easily his best effort over hurdles. An opening mark of 97 could prove to be lenient and he must be taken seriously. However, TRAVELING SOLDIER has returned to form since being fitted with a visor over fences at Southwell in June and he lost little in defeat when second to a subsequent winner here the following month. Reverting to timber off an unchanged mark, he edges the vote. Ikigai Star is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Traveling Soldier 2nd Bathara 3rd Ikigai Star
