14:00 Worcester – Courtland

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Veterans often split opinions in handicaps, but Courtland’s profile suggests he is anything but regressive. At the age of ten, he retains plenty of zest, as evidenced by his second in the Summer Plate, where he chased home in a high-quality field. That effort came after a spell off, which implies he remains both fresh and sound. Returning here, a track where he has shown himself effective, he races from a mark just 1lb higher, a margin unlikely to halt progress.

Trainer Mickey Bowen has pitched him into the right races, and the horse looks primed to make use of his tactical speed over the intermediate trip of 2m4f. Rivals from Dan Skelton’s powerful yard pose threats, yet Courtland’s established ability to handle both course and distance puts him marginally ahead in the pecking order. With conditions to suit and fitness proven, he should have enough in hand to maintain an edge over younger, less consistent opposition.

14:50 Thirsk – Rum Therapy

Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Rum Therapy only needed a switch to nursery company to reveal his true ability. When springing a surprise at Beverley on handicap debut, he travelled with authority before finding extra late on. That was backed up just days later when he followed up with a close second at Carlisle, confirming the initial improvement was no accident. He goes again from the same rating of 63, which means his form is yet to be punished by the handicapper.

Trained by Tim Easterby, he looks the type to thrive on racing, and this quick return is an encouraging sign that connections believe he remains in the right place physically. The 6f trip has proven an ideal balance for him, offering both a test of speed and enough of a stamina stretch to play to his strengths. With his level seemingly found, another step forward looks likely, and his profile suggests he should be firmly in the mix again here.

16:00 Worcester – Faitque De L’Isle

Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Punters may be wary of a horse returning to hurdling after a long spell over fences, but Faitque De L’Isle deserves serious consideration. Despite being campaigned almost exclusively over the larger obstacles since 2021, he possesses a solid record over hurdles, placing second in four of seven appearances. That reliability suggests he can adapt quickly back to smaller jumps.

His most recent outing came at this course, where he looked sharper for the run, and that outing will have set him up perfectly for today. At the age of ten, he is seasoned, but there is no evidence that his enthusiasm is waning. On the contrary, his ability to travel smoothly in his races often keeps him competitive, and against rivals with question marks either on fitness or consistency, his steady approach may prove decisive. If he translates his chasing ability back to hurdles, he holds enough class to take this contest.

16:42 Brighton – Havana Gila

Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Havana Gila appeals strongly in this Brighton handicap, particularly given the way her handicap mark has eased. Having started life in the 80s after contesting Listed company early in her career, she now runs off 69, which is a significantly more realistic figure. Recent evidence suggests she has been working back into form, highlighted by encouraging performances when finishing close in small-field contests.

Her maiden success came at York, a result that hinted at genuine promise, and her return to a winning rating has rekindled that potential. Brighton’s idiosyncratic track often rewards horses with balance and tactical awareness, traits she has demonstrated in her runs to date. Trained by Harry Eustace, who boasts a healthy strike-rate at this venue, she lines up for a yard that clearly places its horses well. With Kaiya Fraser’s useful claim taking further weight off, Havana Gila shapes as the most likely winner, making her the strongest selection in today’s Lucky 15.
