Worcester 14:00
FBC Manby Bowdler Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Winner £4,700, 2nd £2,163, 3rd £1,081, 4th £541, 5th £270
5yo+, 10 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f , GOOD (GoingStick: 7.6) (Watering) (Rail movements: 2.00, 4.00, 4.30, 5.05 & 5.35 +93yds and 3.00 & 3.30 +60yds)
1. Byzantine Empire (Best odds: 25/1 – bet365)
Returning from a lengthy layoff with patchy form behind him, this gelding has often flattered to deceive. He carries top weight here and may find this demanding on reappearance. John & Rhys Flint will hope for a revival, but others have more pressing claims.
2. Abingworth (Best odds: 11/8 – bet365)
This progressive seven-year-old comes into this off back-to-back victories and looks very much on the up. Caoilin Quinn retains the ride, and the Moore team appear to have found a good opportunity. Despite a rise in the weights, he’s likely to be right in the thick of things again.
3. Midnight Jewel (Best odds: 14/1 – Betvictor)
A consistent campaigner at this sort of level, albeit without winning for a while. Has previously gone well at similar venues and distances, though the handicapper may still have his measure. Each-way possibilities at a value price.
4. Winged Isle (Best odds: 22/1 – bet365)
Very lightly raced in recent times and hard to weigh up based on minimal recent evidence. James Bowen takes the reins, and any market support would be significant. One to watch rather than wager on confidently.
5. Full Monty (Best odds: 8/1 – BetMGM)
Fergal O’Brien’s charge hasn’t managed to recapture his earlier promise but may benefit from a more positive ride. Could be competitive if he finds more fluency in the jumping department. One for the shortlist on potential alone.
6. God’s Own Getaway (Best odds: 3/1 – bet365)
Dan Skelton’s gelding has been running with real credit and shaped encouragingly last time out. He’s been creeping up the weights, but there’s every chance he still has some improvement to come. Strong claims under a confident Harry Skelton.
7. Okavango Delta (Best odds: 15/2 – Betvictor)
Decent winner earlier in the season but has looked held since. The drop in trip might help and Paul Robson’s runner is not without a shout if bouncing back to best. Possibly needs a soft lead to dominate.
8. Mary’s Fortune (Best odds: 14/1 – Unibet)
Tim Vaughan’s seven-year-old is lightly raced and showed some promise in novice company, though this is tougher. David Noonan rides again, but she’ll need to step up markedly to trouble the principals here.
9. Scene One (Best odds: 14/1 – BetMGM)
Capable on his day and better than his recent form figures suggest. The blinkers go back on and Lucy Wadham’s gelding could go well if things fall into place. Not the worst outsider for those seeking a flyer.
10. Uncle Arthur (Best odds: 50/1 – bet365)
Has struggled to get involved in recent outings and this looks another stiff task for the bottom weight. Needs a major resurgence to feature, and even that may not be enough. Best watched.
Verdict
There’s strong momentum behind Abingworth, and he could well continue his winning sequence, but slight preference goes to God’s Own Getaway, who appears poised to reverse form with that rival given the right tactical setup. Full Monty looks like a lively each-way alternative, while Midnight Jewel may outperform his odds if finding rhythm early.

Worcester 14:30
Alan Edwards 70th Birthday Celebration Handicap Chase
Winner £4,700, 2nd £2,163, 3rd £1,081, 4th £541, 5th £270
5yo+, 11 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 7.8) (Watering)
El Elefante (11/2) – Bet365
El Elefante showed flashes of potential last season, though her form dipped towards the end of the campaign. Trained by Lucinda Russell, this 6-year-old mare has Patrick Wadge in the saddle and could improve on her chasing debut. She has the ability to challenge at these odds.
Getaway Theatre (16/1) – BetVictor
Getaway Theatre has been off the track for a while and will need to prove herself after some inconsistent performances. Stuart Edmunds’ 6-year-old, with Ciaran Gethings aboard, could surprise if she returns in better form but faces a tough task in this competitive field.
Glimpse Of Gala (12/1) – Unibet
Glimpse Of Gala has been a solid campaigner, though she’s struggled for wins recently. Charlie Longsdon’s 8-year-old, ridden by Lilly Pinchin, has plenty of experience, and although she’s up against some stronger opposition, she could still put in a good run if things go her way.
Ilovethenightlife (7/1) – Bet365
Joe Tizzard’s mare, Ilovethenightlife, showed promise last season, particularly in handicap hurdles. With Brendan Powell aboard, this 6-year-old has the potential to improve over fences and could be an interesting contender if she takes well to chasing.
West Balboa (4/6) – BetVictor
West Balboa is the clear favorite and has shown class in previous races, including a good run in a competitive handicap last season. Trained by Dan Skelton and ridden by Harry Skelton, this 8-year-old is the one to beat, and her form suggests she’s capable of running away with this race.
Verdict
West Balboa stands out as the strongest contender and should be difficult to oppose based on her previous form. El Elefante could prove to be a worthy challenger on her chasing debut, while Ilovethenightlife has the potential to improve over fences. Glimpse Of Gala brings plenty of experience and could run into a place, with Getaway Theatre hoping to spring a surprise if returning in better form.

Worcester 15:00
Download The Vickers.Bet App Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race)
Winner £2,451, 2nd £1,129, 3rd £564, 4th £283
4-5yo, 11 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m , GOOD, Good to firm in places (GoingStick: 7.8) (Watering)
Blue Bellamy (20/1) – Bet365
Blue Bellamy has shown glimpses of ability in previous races but will need to step up considerably to be competitive here. Trained by Richard J Bandey and ridden by Harry Bannister, this 5-year-old is an outsider but could sneak into the frame if others underperform.
Escapologist (66/1) – Unibet
Escapologist hasn’t shown much in his few starts, and Joe Ponting’s 5-year-old will need a major improvement to feature. With Charlie Hammond taking the ride, he’s a long shot but could gain valuable experience from this run.
Sun Art (7/1) – BetVictor
Sun Art is making his racecourse debut for Fergal O’Brien with Liam Harrison in the saddle. As a 5-year-old, he’s well-bred and could be an intriguing contender if he takes well to the task on his first appearance.
Aim Straight (5/1) – Bet365
David Simcock’s Aim Straight is also having his first run but is partnered with Nico de Boinville, a jockey known for guiding newcomers. If he’s well-prepared, Aim Straight could make a positive impression and may be one to watch.
Cauvicourt (20/1) – Unibet
Henrietta C Knight’s 4-year-old, Cauvicourt, has shown limited promise in his runs to date. Paul O’Brien takes the ride, but this horse will need to find significant improvement to be competitive in this field.
King Of Highways (14/1) – BetVictor
Chris Gordon’s King Of Highways didn’t impress much on his first start, but with Rex Dingle on board, he may show more this time. He’s still a developing prospect and could improve if everything clicks.
Kingsley (6/1) – Bet365
Kingsley is a debutant for Jonjo O’Neill and is expected to be a strong contender in this race. With Benjamin Macey in the saddle, this 4-year-old is well-regarded and could challenge if he adapts quickly to the race conditions.
Mask Of Zorro (14/1) – Unibet
Joe Tizzard’s Mask Of Zorro has some experience but didn’t stand out in his previous runs. Brendan Powell takes the ride, and the 4-year-old will need to find more to have a chance of competing against the top market contenders.
Ocean Walz (7/1) – BetVictor
Ocean Walz has placed in both of his starts and could be knocking on the door again in this contest. Trained by Tom Symonds and ridden by Daryl Jacob, he’s expected to put in another strong showing and may be one to consider for each-way bettors.
Start Again (4/1) – Unibet
Start Again has shown good form, finishing second last time out, and looks to be one of the key contenders here. Fergal O’Brien’s 4-year-old, with Jonathan Burke in the saddle, is well-positioned to deliver another strong run and could be a leading player in this field.
Tormund Giantsbane (7/2) – Bet365
Tormund Giantsbane is the market favorite and comes with a solid reputation. Trained by Dan Skelton and with Harry Skelton on board, this 4-year-old will be expected to run a big race and could take a lot of beating in this field.
Lily’s Ruby (33/1) – BetVictor
Sarah Humphrey’s Lily’s Ruby has yet to show much ability and will need a big step forward to be competitive. Tom Cannon takes the ride, and this 5-year-old will likely benefit from more experience, making her a long-shot for this race.
Verdict
Tormund Giantsbane looks set to justify favoritism and has the best credentials to win. Start Again is another strong contender, coming off a promising run, and should be involved in the finish. Ocean Walz could be a solid each-way option with consistent form, while Kingsley and Aim Straight are debutants who could spring a surprise if they take well to the race conditions.

King Roly (15/2) – Bet365
King Roly has made steady progress, winning his last two races, including one over course and distance. Trained by Peter & Michael Bowen, and with Sean Bowen in the saddle, this 5-year-old will be looking to continue his good form, but he faces tougher competition here.
Autonomous Cloud (11/4) – BetVictor
Autonomous Cloud, trained by Fergal O’Brien, is a talented 8-year-old who has shown promise but struggled in his last couple of starts. With Jonathan Burke aboard, he’s looking for a bounce back, and if he can rediscover his previous form, he could be a serious player.
Big John Wayne (2/1) – Unibet
Big John Wayne is the favorite and comes off a solid performance before falling in his last race. Trained by Lucinda Russell and partnered with Patrick Wadge, this 6-year-old has shown enough ability to justify favoritism, and a clean round could see him in the winner’s enclosure.
Clondaw General (3/1) – Bet365
Clondaw General made a winning debut last season and now steps up to tackle a tougher contest. Tom Bellamy rides for Kim Bailey, and although this 5-year-old is lightly raced, he has the potential to build on that victory and could be in the thick of things.
Galassian (12/1) – BetVictor
Galassian hasn’t been seen for a while and will need to show improvement to feature here. Trained by Mel Rowley and ridden by Charlie Deutsch, this 7-year-old has some ability but will need everything to fall right on his return to the track to be competitive.
Verdict
Big John Wayne has shown the most ability in this field and could be hard to beat if he stays on his feet. Autonomous Cloud offers a strong challenge if he can rediscover his best form, while Clondaw General is unexposed and could spring a surprise if he progresses from his debut win. King Roly has been in good form but faces a step up in class, while Galassian is a long shot with questions to answer on his return from a layoff.

Saint Cyr De Pail (10/1) – Bet365
Saint Cyr De Pail, trained by Jane Williams, showed promise with a win last season and now returns with David Noonan aboard. This 5-year-old has the potential to improve further, and while the competition is strong, he could go well at these odds.
Fan Magnet (25/1) – BetVictor
Fan Magnet has had a mixed start to his career, with an unseat and a fifth-place finish. Trained by Sheila Lewis, and ridden by Sean Houlihan, he will need to find improvement but may offer value for those looking for a long-shot.
Gasmani (20/1) – Unibet
Gasmani showed early promise last season but has struggled to replicate that form. David Dennis’ 5-year-old will need to step up considerably, but with Richard Patrick in the saddle, he may outrun his odds if everything falls into place.
Hartington (12/1) – Bet365
Hartington, trained by Joe Tizzard, showed some decent form before a layoff. With Brendan Powell riding, he’s an interesting contender who could make a positive impact on his seasonal return if he’s fully tuned up.
Jaccours (9/1) – BetVictor
Olly Murphy’s Jaccours is lightly raced and returns to the track after showing some promise in his early starts. With Sean Bowen aboard, this 5-year-old could be a surprise package and has the potential to improve.
Jumbo Mills (6/1) – Unibet
Making his hurdles debut for Dan Skelton, Jumbo Mills will be looking to start his season on a high. Harry Skelton rides, and while he lacks racecourse experience, his strong connections make him one to watch in this contest.
Jurancon (4/1) – Bet365
Jurancon comes into this race with solid form, having won two of his last four starts. Trained by David Pipe and with Jack Tudor taking the ride, this 5-year-old is expected to be a major player and should go close if continuing his upward trajectory.
The Kemble Brewery (6/4) – BetVictor
The Kemble Brewery, trained by Kim Bailey and ridden by Tom Bellamy, is the strong favorite. He’s a consistent performer with plenty of experience, and his proven track record suggests he could be difficult to beat here.
The Winslow Boy (33/1) – Unibet
The Winslow Boy has yet to make much of an impression in his runs so far, and Tom Symonds will be hoping for a significant improvement. With Ben Poste in the saddle, this 5-year-old will need to show a lot more to get involved.
Kap De Triomphe (10/1) – Bet365
Kap De Triomphe is making his hurdles debut after winning a bumper on his only start. Trained by Christian Williams and with Adam Wedge aboard, this 4-year-old could be a dark horse in the field if he takes well to jumping.
Welcheston Warrier (33/1) – BetVictor
Trained by Clive Boultbee-Brooks, Welcheston Warrier showed little in his debut and will need to improve significantly to be competitive here. Ned Fox takes the ride, but he’s up against some much stronger opposition.
Bobbigrey (50/1) – Unibet
Bobbigrey, trained by Jennie Candlish and ridden by Sean Quinlan, has shown limited ability in his few starts so far. He faces a tough task and will need to find dramatic improvement to have any chance of challenging.
Verdict
The Kemble Brewery is the one to beat here, with his consistent form and proven ability making him the clear favorite. Jurancon also comes with a strong profile and could be his biggest challenger. Jaccours and Jumbo Mills are both capable of showing improvement and may surprise, while Kap De Triomphe could be an interesting runner on his hurdles debut.

Fromheretoeternity (8/1) – Bet365
Jennie Candlish’s 7-year-old mare finished second two starts back, but her form dipped slightly in her most recent outing. Sean Quinlan takes the ride again, and if she can rediscover her earlier form, she could be a solid each-way option.
No No Fizz (9/2) – Unibet
No No Fizz didn’t run as well as expected last time out, but Fergal O’Brien’s 6-year-old has the ability to bounce back. Jonathan Burke rides, and with favorable odds, she could be in the mix if returning to her earlier form.
Lady Henrietta (12/1) – BetVictor
This 4-year-old trained by Peter & Michael Bowen has shown some ability, though consistency has been an issue. Sean Bowen takes the reins, and while she’ll need to improve, she might surprise with the right conditions.
Bob O Rhino (9/2) – Bet365
Shane Quinlan guided Bob O Rhino to a recent victory, and this 5-year-old looks set to challenge again. With momentum on his side, this Katy Price-trained horse has a strong chance of following up that win with another solid performance.
Sawpit Sienna (10/1) – Unibet
Sawpit Sienna has a decent record over hurdles and has shown a fair level of form. While her recent runs have been mixed, Tom Bellamy takes the ride, and this 9-year-old could well be competitive in this field.
Ryder’s Rock (7/2) – BetVictor
Joe Tizzard’s Ryder’s Rock is coming off the back of a win and looks poised to build on that form. With Freddie Gingell riding, this 6-year-old is the one to beat if he maintains his current momentum and runs to his best.
Dorcas Road (14/1) – Bet365
Harriet Dickin’s mare hasn’t shown much recently, but with Ben Poste in the saddle, she could improve enough to sneak into the places. She’ll need to step up considerably, but an each-way chance is not out of the question.
Vision Of Hope (16/1) – Unibet
Simon Pearce’s 5-year-old has been inconsistent but did finish second in a similar contest earlier this year. Brendan Powell rides, and if Vision Of Hope can produce her best form, she might offer some value at these odds.
Ann D’Arabie (6/1) – BetVictor
Ann D’Arabie is an interesting contender, making her first start after a break. With Jack Tudor aboard, this Jonjo O’Neill-trained 5-year-old could be one to watch if she’s ready to go after her time off the track.
Well Vicky (10/1) – Bet365
Well Vicky has had a few below-par runs recently, but Ciaran Gethings takes the ride, and she has the experience to be competitive if she finds some of her old form. This 7-year-old will need a sharp improvement, but she’s capable of surprising the field.
Kirkuila (33/1) – Unibet
Kirkuila, trained by Gary Brown, has struggled to make much impact in her recent races. With Isabelle Ryder taking the ride, this 4-year-old will need to show significant improvement to be a factor in this contest.
Verdict
Ryder’s Rock is the one to beat after his recent win, and he should be well-positioned to continue that form. Bob O Rhino also has strong claims after a recent victory, while No No Fizz and Ann D’Arabie could also be contenders if they show their best form. For each-way value, Fromheretoeternity looks a solid option.
