Fergal O’Brien hopes his good form can continue at Worcester’s Thursday card
Worcester: Aye Aye Charlie | 3:35pm Make Your Mental Health A Priority Handicap Hurdle (Div 1) | Dom’s Pick (+£4.83 for a £1 stake on National Hunt NAP tips)
Worcester hosts its second meeting of the season on Thursday afternoon and our team have picked out our best bet of the day.
Fergal O’Brien’s solid form has continued from the 2020/21 campaign, currently operating at a 32% strike-rate, and Aye Aye Charlie is an interesting contender back over timber in a handicap off a mark of 119.
The Midnight Legend gelding was unable to have a significant impact over fences and now heads back over the smaller obstacles where he had plenty of success as a novice.
He finished fourth in the Mersey as maintained his maiden status into the next season, coming home eighth in a hot renewal of the Albert Bartlett behind future Gold Cup winner Minella Indo, subsequent Ryanair victor Allaho and the would-be Stayers’ Hurdle king Lisnigar Oscar.
If retaining just a shred of that ability, he looks sure to be off a very interesting mark here and could hold huge claims with plenty of value under Paddy Brennan.
