Wednesday Worcester

      Jurancon runs today at Worcester
The jumping action is coming from Worcester and Wetherby today with the flat action being shown at Nottingham and Kempton. In Ireland, they race over jumps at Punchestown and it looks to be a card full of big names. The open chase at 3:50pm is certainly one to watch with the likes of Minella Indo and Hewick making their appearances. 

Today we head to Worcester with Jurancon who runs in the 4:08pm Novices' Hurdle over 2miles with Jack Tudor riding. He makes his hurdling debut today after winning two from three bumpers last season, he has schooled well at home and is a horse who has a great attitude so it'll be great to see him back out. We were also due to have African Lady run today, she's now a non-runner and we will wait for another day with her. 

News spiralled yesterday as it was announced that Alphonse Le Grande has been disqualified from winning the Cesarewitch on Saturday due to overuse of the whip from jockey Jamie Powell, which also resulted in him receiving a 28 day ban for using his whip four times above the permitted level. It was a decision that was made days after the win after being analysed by the whip review committee. The placings being altered now means Sean D Bowen picked up an additional winner for his apprentice title drawing himself 2 clear of Joe Levey with Saturday being the final day. 

The women's UEFA Champions League tonight has Arsenal vs. Valerenga in Group C who kick off at 8pm and Man City vs. St. Polten in Group D with kick off time at 5:45pm. 

What did the cheese say to himself in the mirror?

Halloumi!

Have a lovely Wednesday!
