Worcester. Fill yer boots- Lads Lads on tour.

SUN TO SHINE Tony McCoy has just the one ride at Worcester on Thursday afternoon and punters should take the hint by paying close attention to Sun Pageant in the finale. WORCESTER: 2.20 Coronado's Gold, 2.50 Cool Dante, 3.20 Stack The Pack, 3.50 Harry's Dream, 4.20 Penneyrose Bay, 4.50 Faddad, 5.20 Sun Pageant. DOUBLE: Stack The Pack and Golden Square Tom George has proved himself adept at handling chasers and will take great satisfaction if Stack The Pack can notch up a hat-trick of wins at Worcester on Thursday. The eight-year-old was last seen winning by 20 lengths at Uttoxeter in June and would still appear one step ahead of the handicapper. He had earlier scored in great style at Perth and makes an intriguing return to the track in the Ian Valentine 37 Today Ha-Ha Birthday Novices' Handicap Chase. A sound jumper who acts on any ground, a 5lb rise in the weights following his latest success is not likely to halt further progress on Thursday. Faddad may just have put up a decent performance last time at Plumpton and while he is in good heart, he is worth a second look in the betfredcasino.com Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase. These low-grade affairs rarely take a great deal of winning and while Alison Thorpe's gelding has only ever scored in selling hurdles, one of his three victories was at this track. He finished fifth behind some quite decent types in a good race at Worcester last month before getting within a length of Noel Chance's Corporate Player just over two weeks ago. Faddad will not need to improve on that to feature here. Banded racing can be tricky as far as betting is concerned but Golden Square makes plenty of appeal at Southwell. The three-year-old has questions to answer when it comes to consistency, but he has bristled with potential this term and should come into the reckoning in the ladbrokespoker.com Maiden Claiming Stakes. Peter Hiatt's gelding missed the break and suffered trouble in running at least twice when finishing third at Wolverhampton on his latest outing. And although he was switched to deliver his challenge, the son of Tomba still finished third behind Montjeu Baby. Given a clean run, he will never have a better opportunity to break his duck in this low-grade contest.

Forecast: 10/3 Wild Tempo, 5/1 Cool Dante, 13/2 Anflora, 7/1 Audiostreetdotcom, 8/1 Diamond Joshua, Son of Flighty, 10/1 Jeune Premier, Greatest By Phar, 16/1 Southerncrosspatch, 20/1 Illineylad, Broughton Knows, 33/1 Shaaban, 50/1 Welsh Doll ATR VERDICT - WILD TEMPO was a prolific winner in France, but has been disappointing in this country. However, he has shown enough to suggest he is capable of winning a race of this nature, providing he puts his best foot forward. Diamond Joshua is not as good as he once was, but would take all the beating in able to reproduce some of his old sparkle. Cool Dante finished a fair third last time and should play a leading role in this company. Top Tip: WILD TEMPO Watch out for: DIAMOND JOSHUA
