MISS ANTIPOVA ran well to finish runner-up for the fifth successive start at Uttoxeter and the application of headgear may help her finally get her head in front. Stumps or Slips is a big threat if his latest run can be forgiven, while Imac Wood took a step back in the right direction over hurdles last time

Total prize fund £9200 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3716, 2nd £1857, 3rd £929, 4th £465, 5th £232. (Penalty Value £4858.52) Weights raised 2lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): F O’Brien (37 wins from 183 runners, 20%) runs CARLO DU BERLAIS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): FO’Brien (4 wins from 15 runners, 27%) runs CARLO DU BERLAIS WEIGHTWATCHER: MR MAFIA won off a handicap mark of 122, his rating is now down 5lb to 117.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: RESERVE TANK trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.
It could just be worth siding with RESERVE TANK who cashed in off his much-reduced mark when ending a lengthy losing run at Market Rasen back in June and he comes here remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on his old form. Low-mileage improver Carlo du Berlais can emerge as the lead threat.

Ann was a wonderfully happy person whose love for life was infectious.
Often referred to as the “life and soul of the party”, Ann embraced the fun in all that she did.
Ann was a lover of horses, taking her children on riding holidays Later, when her son Anthony bought a racehorse, it was natural that she loved going to watch him race and visit the yard to see him train or feed him a carrot in the field.
Sorely missed by all who knew her, Ann will always be remembered with a fond smile

Rich was an avid sports fan, enjoying all sports but had a particular love for horse racing.
Being born and living in Worcester all of his life, Rich was well known at Worcester Racecourse working on the North Gate for many years and attending race meetings.
Rich was a true gentleman and was well respected. He would help any person in any way he could.
Rich is always in the thoughts of all of his family, especially when they are here at Worcester Racecourse. Remembered with a smile.

WEIGHTWATCHER: BLUE SANS won off a handicap mark of 108, her rating is now down 5lb to 103.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: JUDGE EARLE trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.
If able to reproduce something akin to his recent chase form back in this sphere, JUDGE EARLE will surely take plenty of stopping off a potentially lenient hurdles mark. Aki Bomaye clearly has a fair bit to prove but he’s interesting on debut for the Jack Jones yard with Harry Cobden booked, and market confidence behind this 8-y-o should be heeded Classic Concorde is third choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Blue Sans
