Worcester Race 3

Storm Windows Celebrating 25 Years Handicap Chase

Prize Money: $12,915

LEADING FORCE (3) brings solid form in view of a comfortable 6L success over 4800m at Uttoxeter. Leading contender. HARRYS HOPE (1) registered a creditable runner-up effort two back at Warwick before scoring by 1.3L at the same venue tackling 4800m. Main danger. POLICE ACADEMY (2) finished fifth returning from a spell attempting a 4000m Aintree contest. Likely to improve advancing markedly in distance. MICRONORMOUS (4) rates each-way on second start since wind surgery.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start to post a big 6 len win. Uttoxeter on May 25 over 4800m defeating Art Of Diplomacy with 70.5kg at $1.50 in a steeplechase. The start before that; finished second of 9 starters at Southwell on May 20 over 4900m, a head behind Indian Sunbird carrying 75.5kg at $2.30. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Last start pulled up at Southwell on May 20 over 4900m. Race before finished second in a small field at Exeter on March 23 over 4850m, 19 len behind Minniemum carrying 71.5kg at $3.30. Capable enough and shouldn't be far away.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming lost his rider at this track on May 6 over 4600m. Last start ran last in a small field at Uttoxeter on May 25 over 4800m, 27 len behind Leading Force with 71.5kg at $11. Might find this a bit too tough.
