17:10 Hereford (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MR ZEE opened his account over hurdles with a cosy victory at Taunton last month. Michael Blake's charge had a subsequent winner back in third, so another bold bid looks on the cards on the strength of that form. Pooroldmackley makes a quick reappearance having won over fences on heavy ground at Newton Abbot just three days ago. He makes less appeal reverting to hurdling, and handicap debutant Zarhanya could prove a bigger threat with a conditional rider taking 10lb off her back.

Michael Blake's MR ZEE is consistent, versatile ground-wise and a winner last time out. He's preferred over Pooroldmackley.

17:43 Hereford (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Doctor Love may well have finished closer than fourth at Ludlow if settling better in the early stages. He could be on the premises, but GOD OF FIRE is marginally preferred. A fair handicapper on the Flat with four wins to his name, the five-year-old made a promising debut over timber when runner-up at Plumpton and he should prove a more potent force with that experience under his belt. Jackstell makes most appeal of the remainder.

Jamie Snowden's JACKSTELL was strong in the market last time at Ascot and didn't run badly behind one who got loose on the lead.

18:13 Hereford (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The highly progressive CAMINO ROCIO will likely prove hard to stop. The winner of five of his last six starts, he recorded his most impressive success so far when scoring easily at Huntingdon last month and is taken to defy a 10lb hike. A Definite Getaway faces a more difficult task than when successful at Exeter, but he ran out a convincing winner on that occasion and is not out of it. Kempton scorer Climbing will appreciate conditions on his return from a break.

If a wind operation has had a positive effect on ATLANTA BRAVE then he is extremely well handicapped and the chance is worth taking.

18:43 Hereford (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

EVERYONESACRITIC struck the woodwork when in search of his hat-trick over C&D last month. The winner has gone in again subsequently and Evan Williams' six-year-old looks set to mount a bold bid from an unchanged mark. Chestnut Pete was raised 7lb for a facile success over 2m here, but will be a player as long as he proves as effective over this longer trip. Greenrock Abbey is another to consider.

It was good to see Chestnut Pete finally get his head in front last time but EVERYONESACRITIC (nap) can deny his follow-up bid.

19:13 Hereford (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Zhang Fei bolted up at Fakenham when last seen in December and he merits respect, as does Prolific Profile, who finished a creditable second at Kempton three weeks ago. Tapley has faced some stiff assignments so is not to be underestimated now afforded an ease in grade, but the vote goes to CORNISH STORM. Stuart Kittow's gelding has been in good form under both codes recently and, with scope for further progress, he could offer some value.

A very open race. BLACK HAWK EAGLE was a dual winner last season and, bar one blip, this campaign has been going okay.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Point-to-point winner RACE TO BASE showed promise at Aintree on Boxing Day before progressing to fill the runner-up spot over this C&D. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge sets a clear standard and any further improvement will make him difficult to beat. Nathaniel gelding No Panic makes some appeal on paper and market support would be noteworthy, while Emerald Time heads the remainder.

Race To Base could be hard to beat but CAPTAIN HUGO is bred to have a future and his yard's bumper horses have been going well.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
