5:30 Worcester Tips

Auntie Maggie made all unchallenged at Uttoxeter last time. But Bluebella, who ran on to snatch second on the line, could reverse that form on six pounds better terms. Her jumping was better than usual at Uttoxeter, and a similar display at Worcester should see her go close off the same low mark of 76.

This was quite the gamble in a hot race for the grade over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month. Although she could only finish third after being too keen early on, the first/second have franked the form since. Champion jockey Sean Bowen is now in the saddle and it will be interesting to see how they ride her down in trip. I'm pretty surprised by the price, one I thought would be close to favourite.

I mentioned in another race how this stable seem to be on the upturn, so I really have to give this one a shot given it won last year's renewal off 2lb higher. Hopefully it's been laid out and will bounce back to form on the back of a wind procedure.

Masonbrook Meado was behind stablemate and rival here, Sadie's Diamond, on the penultimate start and is weighted to reverse that form today. There's also a form line with Formel Park that would give the selection the edge in this. 2m on good ground looks the ideal trip, and with the rider's 5lb claim, she has every right to be involved come the business end of the race. Collier does well riding for this yard with 2 wins and 2 second-place finishes from 9 rides. 33/1 offers some good EW value with a 5-place payout.
