Charlus heads this Class 4 staying chase at Worcester narrowly ahead on ratings, level with Handlethekettle and a shade clear of Jaytee and That’s Nice, though the closeness of the figures at the top of the field makes this a genuinely open contest. Handlethekettle represents the most immediate threat, sharing the same rating and likely to be competitive over this stiff twenty-furlong trip on good ground, while Jaytee and That’s Nice cannot be dismissed at just seven pounds off the top. On balance, Charlus is taken to find enough on the day, but this is a low-confidence call in what looks a tight four-way battle. The selection is Charlus.
