Quality summer jumping returns to Sky Sports Racing on Wednesday at Worcester, while the top Flat trainers are represented at Wolverhampton.
5.32 Worcester - Grand Sancy returns in search of £13k pot
With over £13,000 on offer to the winner of the class two feature, the Herefordshire And Worcestershire Chamber Of Commerce Handicap Chase (5.32), it is no surprise to see a quality field of nine line up.
Bbold, from the yard of Dr Richard Newland, is likely to be popular after his victory at Southwell last time out.
- 'She has so much fight' - Oscula all heart in Deauville win
- Unbeaten star Baaeed faces super six in Juddmonte at York
His trainer now applies blinkers for the first time, having been freshened up with a three-month break.
The field is headed by 12-year-old Irish raider Peregrine Run, of Peter Fahey's, a former Grade Three-winning chaser who showed plenty of enthusiasm when a good fifth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen last month.
Champion trainer Paul Nicholls and top rider Harry Cobden team up with Grand Sancy, himself a former Grade Two winner over hurdles but without a victory over the larger obstacles since October 2020.
Champion jockey Brian Hughes takes the ride on Charlie Longsdon's dual course and distance winner Oscar Montel.
6.40 Worcester - In-form Accidental Rebel and Fat Sam clash
It has been an enjoyable summer for leading jumps trainer Fergal O'Brien and a large part of that success is owed to Accidental Rebel.
The eight-year-old chases a famous four-timer in the Get Pulling With PJ Nicholls Ssangyong Handicap Hurdle (6.40), having completed his hat-trick over course and distance last month.
Top weight Fat Sam makes an eye-catching switch back to hurdles off a potentially-lenient mark of 121 - the Chris Down-trained eight-year-old is rated 129 over fences - after an impressive victory at Newton Abbot last time out.
John Mackie's Presenting Pete looks for his third win on the bounce after back-to-back successes at Southwell this summer.
A faller when looking well held behind Fat Sam last time, Dr Newland's Yccs Portocervo needs to bounce back as he looks for a first victory in over a year.
1.40 Wolverhampton - Appleby's Princeville concedes weight in strong novice
Charlie Appleby's Princeville looked a promising type when getting off the mark at the second attempt over five furlongs at Yarmouth last month.
The juvenile has since been gelded and returns to the track under a penalty in the Cazoo Novice Stakes (1.40) with leading apprentice Harry Davies booked to ride.
Powerful owners Juddmonte run the Ralph Beckett-trainer Borough in opposition after a more pleasing effort at Thirsk last month when fifth of 13 over the minimum trip.
Karl Burke's Lady Hamana steps down in trip after finishing a promising third on debut at Newmarket two weeks ago.
