Worcester 20:17 Odds Comparison

Bumper runner-up who shaped well off a steady pace when fifth of 8 on handicap bow at Aintree, and with hope that a bigger field/first-time tongue strap will help him settle better, he should have a bigger performance in him.

Dual point winner who ran his best race over fences second of 5 at Stratford latest. Likely to get his own way in front back over hurdles and could well make a bold bid.

Landed his first handicap success in this sphere at Wincanton in November and heading back in the right direction on his previous 2 starts, with some merit to the form of his latest fourth at Hexham.

Went close to bagging a second course victory here last October but has looked out of sorts in a pair of starts this year.

Hasn't recaptured his best since joining capable new yard, extending a long losing streak in the process, though he did at least run better than on his previous start when a well-held third of 5 back over a longer trip at Huntingdon last time.

Fair form in bumpers but hasn't made much of an impact over hurdles and returns from 5½ months off having pulled up (following a stumble) on second start for current yard.

Went the wrong way after finishing runner-up in a C&D maiden on stable debut last June, shaping like a non-stayer on his latest start at Hereford (3¼m), and is now back down markedly in trip for his first run in over 7 months.

Versatile performer in Ireland for Kevin Michael Smith, but he's without a win since 2024 and his form has been patchy since joining current yard.

Regressive Flat winner who has finished well held in a trio of hurdle starts. Tongue strap goes on for the first time in this sphere but it's hard to be confident now switched to a handicap.

Modest 11f Flat winner who needed the experience in a pair of hurdle starts last November but offered little on handicap debut/reappearance at Ffos Las (2½m). At least worth a market check with Jack Tudor taking over on second start for new yard, though.
