THE undulations and nuances of the Clifton-on-Teme's picturesque course at Upper Sapey tests the skills of the participants and jockeys.

Julian Pritchard and Tim Stephenson are head and shoulders above their rivals on this course so it will obviously pay to follow their mounts this Sunday, although their riding commitments among the 123 entries for this meeting are unknown.

Pritchard guided Titus Bramble into second place at Bitterley recently and the Ledbury based rider returns in the Members where he could face a big challenge from Felbo who has won his last two races.

Upon Adventure and Young Lordan heads the entries for the Ladies and the former could land her final race of the season for Eastnor trainer Nicky Sheppard, while Punters Bar could repeat last year's victory in this contest.
