14:20 Worcester — CopyBet Supporting UK Horse Racing Handicap Chase (Arc Summer Chase Series Qualifier) model predictions

The Flying Poet (IRE)

0%

Broke his duck over hurdles after a few near misses and made a winning start to fences at Perth (3m) on his return from a break last month, albeit narrowly with the second making a costly error at the last; lacked fluency there but kept on well and, although a 6lb higher mark asks a question, another bold bid can be expected.

Captain Boudet (FR)

0%

Won over 2m3f at Exeter off 1lb lower in March 2025; inconsistent in five starts last season for Jeremy Scott, signing off with a fair second back at Exeter two and a half months ago; has changed hands since and goes back up in trip on stable debut with a visor added; on a good mark if able to put his best foot forward.

Jullou De Grissay (FR)

0%

On the same mark as when winning over hurdles (2m7f, good) last summer, ridden by James King; shaped as though the run was needed in March on return from an absence, before finishing a well-beaten second of three on chase debut the following month; has since undergone wind surgery and retains potential over fences.

Axel Bleue (GB)

0%

Point and dual bumper winner in 2025; runner-up in two 2m7f novice hurdles in October but pulled up on handicap debut the following month and has offered little in two runs this spring since a break, including when beaten 24l on last month's chase debut; probably on a workable mark but needs the cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

Jongleur d'Etoiles (FR)

0%

Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort.

Redbridge Rambler (IRE)

0%

Showed the benefit of April's reappearance when back up to a more suitable stamina test off a reduced mark and winning at Warwick (3m, good) the following month; back up 3lb but Freddie Keighley can claim his full allowance; a big player if repeating the effort.

Hall Lane (IRE)

0%

1-13 over fences but has been shaping as though his turn is near again after finishing runner-up on his last three starts, all around this trip on good ground when ridden by Jack Hogan; likely to be in the mix again off an unchanged mark.

Atlanta Brave (IRE)

0%

Hasn't won for three years and struggles for consistency; made an encouraging return when third at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March but couldn't back it up when well beaten at Bangor in refitted cheekpieces last time; blinkers now replace them but others appeal more.

Est Illic (IRE)

0%

Point winner in April but his rules form is modest; although placed under Jess Stewart on both recent runs in hunter chases, he's been well held; needs to find plenty more back in handicap company.

Gata Ban (IRE)

0%

0-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat when second at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month, looking the likely winner until collared on run-in; one of two for the stable and a player off same mark again today.

Stay Hopeful (IRE)

0%

Irish point winner who has yet to show any worthwhile form over hurdles (2m-2m4f) on varying ground, including since switched to handicaps on his last two starts and fitted with cheekpieces; not entirely dismissed on this switch to fences off a basement mark but he needs to step up.
