UK Horse Racing Tips: Worcester

Albie Littlewood proved a different proposition when switched to handicap hurdles and is likely to be at the forefront of the market for his leading connections. That said, a drop back in distance on his chase bow/seasonal return may not be ideal, so KELIJOE is taken to build on his second-placed reappearance over 2m4f here. The six-year-old displayed plenty of speed that day and this extended 2m could prove just the ticket. Hat-trick seeking duo Kool Kid and Reinado add further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Kelijoe 2nd Albie Littlewood 3rd Kool Kid

There are some smart chase debutants on show and KLIMT MADRIK could be the pick of them. Last season's Challow Hurdle runner-up was beaten fewer than seven lengths in the Turners Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and may take some stopping if proving as effective in this discipline. Scorpio Rising landed the ultra-competitive EBF Final at Sandown last March and isn't taken lightly, while Talk To The Man is an intriguing contender on his first start for Dan Skelton.
Prediction : 1st Klimt Madrik 2nd Scorpio Rising 3rd Talk To The Man

The Skelton team have already enjoyed a fantastic time of things with their bumper horses this season, so it would be folly to rule out Dressforsuccess on his introduction. However, the form of stable debutant BALLYDINE BOY's fourth-placed Rules bow at Clonmel has worked out well and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Maxi Twist and Goodbye Earl merit respect as winners between the flags, while the Nicky Henderson-trained Ginolo is also worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Ballydine Boy 2nd Dressforsuccess 3rd Maxi Twist

Decent enough between the flags, BOOMBOX made an encouraging start to her career under Rules when runner-up in a Killarney bumper, so much so that Harry Derham was persuaded to fork out 110,000 pounds for her soon after. Bred to excel over hurdles, she can strike at the first time of asking in this sphere. Magnifix Du Moulin also goes hurdling for the first time and the Fontwell winner lost little in defeat under a penalty at Bangor. Frost Moon should do better now faced with an obstacle too.
Prediction : 1st Boombox 2nd Magnifix Du Moulin 3rd Frost Moon

LUNE BRILLANTE was set some stiff assignments after making a successful debut in a Carlisle bumper, performing with credit in a Huntingdon Listed affair before flopping at the same level at Sandown. Her sights are lowered considerably for her hurdling bow and she can take full advantage. Sapphos Word was twice turned over at short odds in NH Flat races, but this point-to-point winner will be seen to better effect now jumping. The same can be said for Jenny France, while Aeropress looked poised to win between the flags before coming to grief.
Prediction : 1st Lune Brillante 2nd Sapphos Word 3rd Aeropress

Jerseygeordie and Longmoor both enter the handicap ranks with just the two hurdling runs behind them so have plenty more to offer, but so does LIMIER D'ARTHEL. An early faller on his UK debut, the five-year-old put that behind him when making the frame at Exeter and Newton Abbot and that latest form is strong. Mister Des Places is another French recruit although, unlike the selection, he hasn't got experience of British obstacles. Leaumec De Mee was disappointing on his handicap debut, but there will be plenty who keep the faith.
Prediction : 1st Limier Darthel 2nd Mister Des Places 3rd Jerseygeordie

Alastair Ralph has his team in great nick and so it might be worth taking a chance on FOLLOWING CHAPTER. The bay broke his maiden tag at Warwick before suffering a costly defeat at Ludlow, and he didn't see out 2m7f at Exeter. He does return with something to prove as a result, but dropping in trip could bring out the best in him, especially on ground that will suit. Although King Berry was no match for an impressive winner at Ffos Las, that effort brings him firmly into the reckoning, while everything Dan Skelton touches turns to gold at present, so Delta Blues Belle must be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Following Chapter 2nd King Berry 3rd Delta Blues Belle

MARIOLE shed his maiden tag in fine style at Chepstow back in April and is expected to pick up from where he left off from a potentially lenient opening mark of 104. Harry Cobden gets on well with Square Du Roule, who looks a big player in pursuit of his hat trick. Supreme Shot enters calculations too, while any market support for the long-absent Presenting Milan would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Mariole 2nd Square Du Roule 3rd Supreme Shot
