Henri The Second looks the one to beat at Worcester, with our rating of 140 putting him four pounds ahead of Johnny's Jury and six clear of Crest of Fortune, a useful edge over a marathon trip on good to soft. That sort of cushion matters in a seven-runner field where few of the rest have much between them, as J J Moon and Dalston Lad both sit on 125. Johnny's Jury is the chief danger on 136, with Crest of Fortune (134) also sure to be in the mix, while J J Moon is the best of the chasing pack. Henri The Second gets the nod with confidence.
