Forecasts

Ebony Gale (4/6), Mr Mafia (6/5), Mister Tickle (7/4)

The Worcester handicap EBONY GALE landed when last seen in June wasn't a particularly strong race for the grade, but he did the job well enough to suggest that this 5 lb higher mark should be within reach. Mister Tickle needs to pull out more in order to complete the hat-trick under a penalty, but his bold jumping will stand him in good stead and he looks a bigger threat than the veteran Mr Mafia.
