17:08 – CopyBet And Worcester Here All Year Novices’ Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
Beorma has given this ordinary Class 5 novice handicap chase a fairly obvious shape. Dan Skelton’s seven-year-old arrives on a four-timer and, for all he shoulders top weight, he looks a cut above these on current momentum. The rest are largely exposed or unreliable, which is why the market has latched onto him so firmly. Rockvale is the interesting one at a bigger price after shaping well on his return, while Best Mate Dave and Miss Pearl have enough bits of form to get involved if the favourite underperforms. Worcester’s sharpish nature over this trip should suit accurate jumping and tactical speed, and that may be where Beorma can put this race to bed. It’s not a deep contest, but there is still some each-way value behind the jolly.
Top Selections
1. Beorma – 4/7 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 8-1111 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 57
It is hard to get away from Beorma, even at cramped odds. Four straight wins tell their own story and, crucially, he’s still in the novice handicap chase lane rather than bumping into anything especially robust here. An official mark of 106 does not look beyond him in this grade, and the Skelton-Harry Skelton combination is exactly the sort you want on a progressive sort around Worcester. He has to concede weight all round, but most of these have questions to answer whereas he simply keeps doing his job. At 4/7 he is no hidden gem, but he is the most likely winner by some margin. Bet: WIN
2. Rockvale – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Bellamy | Trainer: Sam Allwood | Form: 9/86-2 | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 84
If you want something against the field rather than against the favourite, Rockvale makes plenty of appeal each-way. He returned from a break with a runner-up effort and that was his most encouraging piece of form for a while, suggesting Sam Allwood may have found a workable opening from 98. He gets in here with just 149lb, which is a very different assignment from the one facing Beorma at the top of the weights, and his topspeed figure of 84 is one of the better numbers on offer in this line-up. At 7/1, he looks the value each-way play to chase home the favourite or capitalise if the market leader underwhelms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Beorma is the win bet because he’s the only one arriving with solid, progressive chase form and this isn’t a race packed with depth. For an each-way punt, Rockvale looks the sensible alternative at 7/1 after a promising comeback. Best Mate Dave is the main danger to that place angle if building on his latest run, while Miss Pearl is not entirely dismissed from the minor money.

17:40 – CopyBet Proudly Backs UK Horse Racing Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a properly competitive little staying handicap rather than a weak summer chase, with several arriving off solid recent efforts and a few lurking on dangerous marks. Grand Clermont comes here after another win and is the obvious one to beat despite his age, while Ideal Des Bordes and Excello give Nicky Henderson a strong hand if either can put cleaner jumping together. Bagheera Ginge is unexposed enough over this sort of trip to keep progressing, and Peaky Boy shaped well enough on his return to suggest he’s ready to strike. With Worcester usually rewarding rhythm and accurate fencing, I suspect this will be decided less by raw ability than by who travels and jumps best from the back straight onward. Tricky, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Grand Clermont – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rian Corcoran | Trainer: David Pipe | Form: 211-61 | Rating: 137 | Topspeed: 104
Grand Clermont is hard to get away from. He arrives in winning form, has clearly thrived since going chasing again, and that latest success suggested there is still plenty of enthusiasm left in this 10-year-old. The mark of 137 asks another question, but he’s carrying only 10st and that matters around here over nearly 3m. David Pipe’s runner looks straightforward tactically, and if Rian Corcoran can get him into a smooth rhythm up front or just off the pace, he should be in the right spot when others begin to paddle. At 4/1, he makes plenty of appeal as the solid option in a race full of ifs and buts. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Peaky Boy – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Jr | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: /F00-3 | Rating: 132 | Topspeed: 118
Peaky Boy is the each-way play because his latest run hinted that the ability is still there after a patchy spell. He was third on his return, which was a fair step back in the right direction, and his figures suggest he is well capable of making his presence felt off 132 if building on that. Jonjo O’Neill Jr knows exactly how to ride these staying chasers at Worcester, and this horse has enough tactical pace to hold a handy position without being forced. There is risk attached given the inconsistency in the profile, but in a 10-runner race with three places on offer, 9/2 looks workable for a horse who could easily outrun that if backing up the comeback effort. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Grand Clermont is the win bet because he’s the one bringing the most reliable recent chasing form and still looks well placed despite a higher mark. Peaky Boy is the each-way option in a race where a few have questions to answer, and his latest third was encouraging enough to think he’s ready to go closer. The obvious dangers are Ideal Des Bordes on a workable weight and Bagheera Ginge, who could easily have more to offer.

18:10 – CopyBet Royal Ascot Bog From Sunday Mares’ NH Flat Race (Conditional/Amateurs) Cat 1 Elim) (GBB)
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly typical Worcester mares’ bumper on paper: plenty with something to prove, several completely unexposed types, and one with solid form already in the book. Unflappable sets the standard after finishing third and bringing the best published figures into the race, while Lady Of Tarsus heads the debutantes in the market for a yard that knows how to ready one. Crack Of Thunder is another respected 4yo with a handy weight pull from the older mares, and Poppieholla has attracted support in places despite making her first start. In truth, it is not a deep race for the grade, but it is still a tricky little puzzle because so many arrive without any racecourse evidence at all. Proven bumper form may count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Unflappable – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Pritchard | Trainer: Ben Clarke | Form: 3 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 64
She is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is still the right one. That previous third is comfortably the best piece of form on offer in this field, and her figures back it up too, with a 101 rating and 64 Topspeed putting her clear of these on known evidence. In a race packed with guesswork, Unflappable at 11/4 makes plenty of sense because she has already shown she can handle the job on the track. Ben Clarke’s mare doesn’t need to improve much at all to go very close, and any normal step forward from first to second start would make her hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Crack Of Thunder – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rian Corcoran | Trainer: Jack Jones | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
If you want something at a more workable each-way price, Crack Of Thunder makes some appeal. As a 4yo she gets in with 153, and in this company that allowance from the older mares is not nothing. Jack Jones is more than capable of placing one to good effect, and the market has her prominent enough to suggest she is expected to know her job first time. She is not as fashionable as Lady Of Tarsus, but at 15/2 she looks the more practical betting option in a race where debutantes can blow hot and cold. In a field of this size, that looks a fair each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Unflappable is the win bet because she brings the one piece of concrete form that stands up well in this line-up. For an each-way alternative, Crack Of Thunder looks the value at the prices in a race full of unknowns. The main dangers are Lady Of Tarsus, from the McCain yard, and any market confidence behind Poppieholla should also be noted.

18:40 – CopyBet Support Safer Gambling Maiden Hurdle (ARC Summer Novices’ Hurdle Qualifier) (GBB) (Div I)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a pretty useful maiden hurdle for Worcester standards, with the market understandably centred on the two four-year-olds Premier Tenor and Shamsat. Both have already shown enough over timber to win an ordinary race of this nature, and they set a fair standard on the figures. Babs is the obvious one to make life awkward for them after a solid second last time, while Drombeg Lad has the older-horse experience and arrives with the most established hurdles profile in the line-up. There are also unknown quantities like Trouville, who comes from a yard that places its newcomers well. It’s not a bad race at all, but it does feel one where the younger, progressive types could dominate if handling this sharp 2m test.
Top Selections
1. Shamsat – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Brendan Powell | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 3-2 | Rating: 114 | Topspeed: 90
Shamsat brings the most persuasive recent hurdle form into the race and, at this stage, looks the one with the strongest blend of ability and race sharpness. He shaped well when third on debut over hurdles and improved again to finish second next time, which is exactly the profile you want in a maiden like this. A mark of 114 sets the standard alongside Babs, while that 90 Topspeed figure really jumps off the page in this company. James Owen’s horses are typically straightforward and Brendan Powell is an ideal booking around Worcester. At 11/4, he makes plenty of appeal against a favourite who still has a little to prove. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Drombeg Lad – 11/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: Alex Hales | Form: 4/223- | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 72
Drombeg Lad is the each-way angle if you want to play against the obvious pair at the head of the market. He’s had a few chances, yes, but there’s no knocking the consistency of those last three completed runs, all of them solid efforts in defeat, and a mark of 112 gives him every chance of being in the first three again. He doesn’t have the sexy profile of some of these unexposed types, but he has proper hurdles form in the book and won’t need to improve much to hit the frame. Bryan Carver is a positive jockey booking for a race that could become tactical. At 11/1, he looks a fair each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Shamsat is the win play, as his two hurdle runs already set a solid standard and he still has more to come. Drombeg Lad is the each-way option at a bigger price, bringing dependable placed form and enough ability to pick up the pieces if the principals underperform. The obvious dangers are Premier Tenor, who could step forward from his debut third, and Trouville if the market speaks positively.

Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden hurdle rather than a deep one, and that should encourage the more solid, race-fit types. Just Call Me Buzz and Fiskardo bring the clearest recent hurdle form to the table and set a reasonable standard, while Kernie D’Airy has the best rating in the line-up despite arriving off a lesser effort. The interesting angle is the pair of 4yos, Mystic Wind and Dancingondiamonds, who get weight and could easily prove better than the bare paper suggests on hurdle debut. Purple Owl has bits and pieces of form too, but his profile is a bit messier. In a race lacking obvious strength, it may simply come down to who jumps slickest and travels best around this sharp enough 2m.
Top Selections
1. Just Call Me Buzz – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Noonan | Trainer: Ben Clarke | Form: 53-2 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 88
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with both credible form and the promise of a bit more to come. That latest second was a step forward, and his figures stack up well here, particularly the Topspeed mark of 88, which is one of the more persuasive pieces of evidence in this field. Ben Clarke’s runner looks straightforward enough, and David Noonan is a positive booking for this sort of test. At 3/1 he isn’t exactly hidden from the market, but he still makes more appeal than some of the unexposed types who are being asked to do it on trust. He holds strong claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Mystic Wind – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
For the each-way angle, Mystic Wind is the one that interests me most. Dan Skelton doesn’t waste too many Worcester novice opportunities, and when Harry Skelton is on board a 4yo in a race of this nature, it’s worth taking seriously. She gets a useful chunk of weight from the older geldings and doesn’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to go very close in this company. The market has her prominent at 4/1, which suggests expectations are there, and in a nine-runner race with three places on offer that looks a fair enough each-way punt. If she jumps cleanly, she could easily outrun some more exposed rivals.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Just Call Me Buzz is the percentage call for the win bet given his recent second and the strength of his existing hurdle form. Mystic Wind is the each-way alternative, with the Skelton team and the 4yo allowance making her very interesting in this grade. Fiskardo is the obvious danger after another solid placed effort, while Kernie D’Airy is not one to dismiss if bouncing back.

19:42 – CopyBet For Your Daily Profit Boost Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 3 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a small-field handicap hurdle but not quite the procession the market suggests. Sunray Shadow arrives on the up after back-to-back wins and is clearly the one they all have to beat off 149, especially with Harry Skelton booked for a Dan Skelton runner who still looks to be progressing. That said, there are a couple of seasoned stayers lurking if the favourite gets dragged into a proper test. Shallow River is well treated on old form and has Sean Bowen taking over, while Ballintubber Boy is better than his latest run and could get involved if this turns tactical. American Mike has ability but doesn’t look entirely straightforward, and Gwennie May Boy needs a major revival. It’s a good little five-runner race rather than a deep one, and the improving horse may simply have the edge.
Top Selections
1. Sunray Shadow – 4/6 with Betfair
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 542-11 | Rating: 144 | Topspeed: 124
He’s short, but with good reason. Sunray Shadow comes here chasing the hat-trick after two wins that suggest he has finally found his groove, and a mark of 144 still may not have caught up with him. He gets in here carrying just 149, which looks a fair racing weight in this company, and his profile is miles more appealing than most of these exposed rivals. Harry Skelton is exactly the rider you want in a tactical five-runner hurdle, and if they steady it up before lifting the tempo late, this 7yo has the turn of foot to settle matters. At 4/6 he’s no giveaway, but he’s the one with the fewest questions to answer. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Sunray Shadow is the win play and the only bet. Each-way punting makes no appeal in a field this small. Shallow River is the obvious danger if returning to something like his best, while Ballintubber Boy could nick a place if the race gets tactical, but the progressive favourite is hard to oppose.

20:17 – Step Into Luxury With Purple Granite Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but it is not short of angles. Bobbarelli arrives in good nick after a couple of solid placed efforts, while Belcamo signed off last season with a win and is the obvious progressive one among the younger legs. Emerald Time and Play Pretend both have bits of form that give them a squeak, and Raffles Nobu is interesting now creeping down the weights despite a slightly patchy profile. Over this sharp 2m at Worcester, a clean round and tactical speed will matter plenty more than brute stamina, so I would be leaning towards horses who can travel and hold a position rather than out-and-out grinders. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Belcamo – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Bannister | Trainer: Alex Hales | Form: 62601- | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 97
Belcamo is the one I want on side. He ended last season by getting his head in front and, for a 5yo in a race full of exposed handicappers, that immediately makes him more appealing than most. An opening mark of 102 does not look severe given that latest success, and Worcester’s sharp nature should suit a horse with enough pace to hold a handy spot. Harry Bannister is a good booking for this type of test and Alex Hales does well enough with these summer hurdlers. At 9/2, he looks a fair rather than flashy price, but there is substance behind him and he holds strong claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Raffles Nobu – 9/1
Jockey: Jack Quinlan | Trainer: Nick Scholfield | Form: 364-P3 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 91
Raffles Nobu makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where not many arrive with momentum. His latest third was a step back in the right direction after a poor run, and he now finds himself carrying just 156 despite a mark of 105. That suggests he has become well enough treated if building on that latest effort. He is not one for maximum trust, which is why he is the each-way play rather than the main bet, but this race does not look deep and Jack Quinlan should be able to get him settled before playing him late. Around 9/1, he looks the value against some shorter-priced but hardly bombproof rivals.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Belcamo is the win play because he is one of the few in here who could still have a bit more to offer. Raffles Nobu is the each-way alternative in a 12-runner race with four places on offer, and that makes plenty of sense at the prices. Bobbarelli is the obvious danger after two solid recent efforts, while Emerald Time is another who would not shock if stepping forward second time back.

20:53 – CopyBet For Overnight Best Odds Guaranteed Mares’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 6.8) (watering) (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a proper mares’ handicap rather than a penalty kick, with several arriving in form and a few still open to improvement over this sort of trip. October Hill comes here off a win and has the highest mark in the field, while Belle Le Grand is respected for the Skeltons despite a slightly disappointing latest effort. Kom Tu Voudras appeals as one of the more interesting runners after returning with a solid second and her profile suggests there could be more to come at 2m4f. Kittys Glance also fits that progressive angle, while Janworth and Hello Cello are experienced enough to make this competitive if ready to fire. It’s not the deepest Class 4 you’ll see, but it is a tricky little puzzle with a few credible cases.
Top Selections
1. Kom Tu Voudras – 9/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Faye Bramley | Form: /301-2 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 101
She makes plenty of appeal. That latest second after a break was the sort of run that usually sets one up nicely for a race like this, and her overall profile is still fairly lightly raced for a mares’ handicapper. A mark of 112 looks workable, especially when you note the 101 Topspeed figure, which stacks up well in this company. Harry Cobden is an eye-catching booking and this trip on good ground ought to suit. At 9/2, she looks to have just about the right blend of solid recent form and upside, which is more than can be said for a few of these. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Kittys Glance – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Bellamy | Trainer: Alan King | Form: /801-2 | Rating: 109 | Topspeed: 73
Alan King’s mare is the each-way play because she still looks the type to progress a bit further. She won before signing off last time with a runner-up effort, and as a 5yo she doesn’t have to be fully exposed yet in this sphere. The mark of 109 is fair enough and there is a chance this intermediate trip can bring out a little more. Tom Bellamy knows how to deliver one late around here and, in a race where a few of the principals are priced tightly enough, 7/1 gives her definite each-way appeal. She doesn’t need to improve masses to hit the frame and could easily do better than that.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kom Tu Voudras is the win play; she has the most convincing mix of recent form, a workable mark and scope to step forward again. Kittys Glance is the each-way punt at 7/1 in a 10-runner field with three places on offer. The obvious dangers are October Hill, who arrives on the back of a win, and Belle Le Grand if bouncing back for the Skelton yard.
