Three runners who catch the eye at Perth and Worcester tonight

There is a double helping of jump racing in Britain for punters to get stuck into tonight, so here are three runners worth noting.

6.40 Worcester

This seven-year-old has been running well without getting his head in front, but this looks a good opportunity.

Conditional jockey Rex Dingle's 10lb claim takes a nice chunk of weight off the seven-year-old's back and he should be nicely tuned up after a reappearance over hurdles at Ffos Las last time.

Ballyboker Breeze
7.25 Perth

Ballyboker Breeze won well at Aintree last time and does not appear to be fully exposed over fences.

The ten-year-old is saddled with joint-topweight here off a new mark of 140, but that looks perfectly achievable and he can confirm form with Petrou, who he defeated at Aintree.

Blushing Red
8.50 Worcester

Carntop may be odds-on for this maiden hurdle, but Blushing Red has showed promise in previous outings and could bounce back to form.

Although disappointing on his handicap debut last time, the four-year-old was too free for Sam Twiston-Davies, who is back on board again and will no doubt endeavour to get him settled.

If he is able to do so, he might be able to return Blushing Red to the level of his second-placed effort at Kempton two starts ago.
