The latest news and going for the quality jumping action at Worcester and Bangor
Ahead of Saturday's jumping action, two meetings can certainly whet the appetite for jumps fans. Competitive handicaps are on offer at Worcester and Bangor with both staging seven-race cards.
The smart Ben Pauling-trained Global Citizen landed the bumper on Worcester's card last season and a field of eight bid to emulate the subsequent impressive Grade 2 winner.
At Chelmsford the exciting unexposed Big Challenge makes his third career start in the feature (6.45). The son of Sea The Stars was just a length off Monarchs Glen last April, who is now rated 118.
