6/4, resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise.

Enjoyed a highly-productive spell in chases last summer and made it 5 wins from 7 starts over fences when successful at Fontwell (21.6f) in April. Below-par fourth at Plumpton returned to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces last time so more is needed.

Good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to firm, 9/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 3 lb but he's in the mix.

11/2
C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago so needs to bounce back.

15/2
Out of form when last seen out for John Gallagher, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good). Off 11 months but now back with former yard off a handy-looking mark. Interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Forecasts

Shantou Express (15/8), Scarpia (5/2), Hell Red (7/2), Butler's Brief (11/2), Polish (15/2)

19:20 Worcester - 15 June 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

POLISH returns from an absence now back with Fergal O'Brien off a good-looking mark so could be worth chancing. Scarpia is feared most on the back of his good Huntingdon second, with Stratford scorer Shantou Express also in the mix in a trappy handicap.
