IT was an evening for favourites at Worcester as five of the most-fancied horses won seven of the races at Pitchcroft.

Alcester trainer Dan Skelton added to his Worcester collection with victory for Horseshoe Bay (5/6 favourite) in the penultimate contest.

Jockey Ciaran Gethings guided the two successful non-favourites in Cuirassier Dempire (9/2) and Katy P (6/1) for Gloucestershire handler Tom George and Somerset trainer Philip Hobbs respectively.
