Default Suggestions for Worcester England races

I will be in England soon and a trip to the Worcester Racecourse is planned. Did this last Sept and enjoyed the restaurant package with my son-in-law. I've also been to the racecourse at Stratford a couple times. These are "jumps" racecourses. In the past I've looked for sires like Galileo or Dynaformer but I have had little success finding winners. Any suggestions on what to look for from those of you familiar with these races?

Worcester is one of the few British racecourses I have not attended, and given that I'm now living down under it's unlikely I will (Although just back from a weekend in the UK). I have been to Stratford many times however, lovely course.

In regards to punting at these 'summer jumping' meetings it's quite difficult. The ground is often firmer than ideal for stoutly bred jumpers, so quite often finding ex flat racers can be useful. Probably the best piece of advice is to find horses that have shown a decent level of form during this time of year in the past. It usually suggests they either peak around about now or have been kept specifically for the Summer Jumping season.

Any other questions, please feel free to ask.
