Favourites include joint favourites. Dimmed rows have fewer than 30 runs. Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation at SP. Favourite-heavy samples naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". £1 P/L is level stakes at SP.

About Worcester

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Pitchcroft, beside the River Severn in the centre of Worcester — jumps only, turf.
  • Shape: Left-handed, flat and galloping, about 1m5f round, with fair fences and a run-in that is not long.
  • Season: Summer jumping from May to October; the course floods in winter.

Going and the seasons

  • Summer: Good or good to firm is usual, with watering; soft ground is uncommon outside the wettest weeks.

Signature races and fixtures

  • Programme: Summer handicap chases and hurdles, novice races and conditional jockeys' races, many on weekday evenings.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: Worcester Foregate Street station is a short walk away; by road from the M5 (junctions 6 and 7) with parking on site.
  • Viewing: A flat course with the whole circuit in view from the stands.
