The CopyBet Pay First Past The Post Handicap Steeple Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier) is off at 18:27 on 16 July 2026 at Worcester (Great Britain).
2m7f, Class 5, Chase, 8 runners declared.
The AI top-rated runner is Knightsbridge (score 71.0). Methodology: ratings combine OR, RPR, TS, trainer 14-day form, days since last run and going.
I'm A Starman heads the market on our figures by a healthy 17 lb from Knightsbridge, and with today's trip already proven he rates the one to beat in this eight-runner race. Knightsbridge arrives on the back of an improving sequence and looks the most obvious threat, with Carpe Diem's remarkable consistency and Huckleberry Sting's recent form both giving this plenty of depth. I'm A Starman's below-par finishing sequence is the slight worry, but on rating alone he's a confident selection.
Racing Post pick: I'm A Starman
