6.50pm Worcester Tips & Betting Preview 17/07/2018

Lord Topper was back to winning ways on his latest start, but only one other horse finished that day and the form has to be questioned. He can be opposed under a penalty and ready preference is for SKY PIRATE, who made it two wins from five starts when readily coming clear over course and distance on his latest start. He’s now eight pounds higher but he should have plenty more to offer and has too much potential for this field. Champagne Express was making his first hurdling start for over two years when winning at Cheltenham in April and he heads up the dangers.
