1	2 1st (2) (1/16 +92%) Parade Away		0.0625 1/16(+92%)																															(2) Parade Away 1/16, Runner-up sole start in bumpers and progressive form in bumpers, landing 10-runner contest at Stratford in May. Up in trip for hurdles debut and this looks a good opening. Comfortably won good-ground Stratford bumper in May; looks the one to beat.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +27%) Meranti		8 8/1(+27%)																															(1) Meranti 8/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. Stayed on for modest fourth in Irish bumper in May; more needed on hurdling return.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PARADE AWAY had shown a decent level of form in bumpers prior to winning one at Stratford in May and the Jet Away gelding looks to have been found a good opportunity now sent over timber. Titan Discovery, who has filled the runner-up berth on both of his starts, might be the main danger. Meranti should not be underestimated but he needs to improve.

PARADE AWAY progressed nicely in bumpers during the spring, winning at Stratford, and he's been found a really good opportunity switched to timber. Titan Discovery wasn't far off the selection's ability in that sphere and is the obvious threat.

Titan Discovery should make a race of this but PARADE AWAY created a pretty good impression when winning a bumper in May.

6	6 (6) (5/2 -11%) Sammy's Guarantee	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Sammy's Guarantee 5/2, €22,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Dam (h95), bumper winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Thomas Brown. Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers (Apr 8). Bred more for stamina than speed but needs respecting for good yard all the same. Close second in point bumper on debut in April; makes her rules debut here.
1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +75%) On Se Calme	1.875 15/8(+75%)	(3) On Se Calme 15/8, Irish point winner at second attempt who showed a bit more than previously under Rules following a breathing operation/4-month absence when fourth of 6 in maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 17 days ago, considerately handled. Point winner; has struggled under rules but latest run was more encouraging.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +54%) Sister Julienne	3 3/1(+54%)	(4) Sister Julienne 3/1, Modest form when placed on the first two of 3 bumpers starts. Bred to have a future as a jumper and has had a breathing operation since last seen. Out of a useful Irish hurdler; placed in two of her three bumpers; hurdle debut today.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 +50%) Cheap Flights	7 7/1(+50%)	(2) Cheap Flights 7/1, Shirocco mare. Dam (c102/h102) bumper winner who stayed 2¾m. Market for clues. First foal; dam a bumper winner who showed fair form when placed over jumps.
4	7 4th (7) (13/8 +7%) Tique	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(7) Tique 13/8, Found improvement when opening her account in 9-runner bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good) in May, suited by increased emphasis on stamina. In process of making headway when falling 3 out on Newton Abbot hurdling debut the following month. Bangor bumper winner; still going well when falling on hurdle debut; leading contender.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 +34%) Upbeat Betty	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Upbeat Betty 33/1, Little promise in a bumper/novice hurdle. Pulled up when 66-1 for last month's hurdling debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 -127%) Whitehall Flyer	150 150/1(-127%)	(5) Whitehall Flyer 150/1, Showed little in a brace of bumpers earlier in the year. Hooded for hurdle debut. Did not show enough in two bumpers in early part of this season to warrant consideration.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A difficult race to unpick with little hurdling form in the book, so only a tentative vote can go to SISTER JULIENNE. Her best effort to date came when filling the runner-up spot in a C&D bumper in February and it would be no surprise if Donald McCain's mare, who is related to a French hurdles winner, took a step forward here. Bangor winner Tique must enter calculations, along with Sammy's Guarantee, who was picked up by Tom Lacey having hit the woodwork in an Irish point-to-point 192 days ago.

SAMMY'S GUARANTEE is bred to come into her own over longer trips in due course, but she starts out over hurdles at a decidedly ordinary level, so gets the nod for a stable that has had plenty run well in the last fortnight or so. Tique was making headway when falling 3 out on her Newton Abbot hurdling debut when last seen and has to enter calculations, while On Se Calme wouldn't be without hope if building on a considerate return at Market Rasen.

This can go to Bangor bumper winner TIQUE, who jumped fairly well until an unfortunate mishap on her hurdling debut in June.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +31%) Can't Beat History	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(5) Can't Beat History 9/2, Made second chase start a winning one at Market Rasen (21.4f), dominating. Badly hampered and unseated fourth at Uttoxeter next time and not seen to best effect back at former track since. Fair hurdler; easy winner over fences in August and fair effort last time; each-way chance.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +56%) Deadly Missile	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(8) Deadly Missile 7/2, Point winner who has bettered his bumper/hurdles form tackling fences, runner-up at Market Rasen latest. Improvement needed to go one better but return to further will suit. Point winner who was a close second in a handicap chase last time; a possible.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +10%) Frankie Faulkner	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Frankie Faulkner 9/2, Dual winner in points who confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 11-runner maiden at Newton Abbot in July. Some improvement switched to fences/handicaps since, unlucky not to win a poor race at Newton Abbot last month (slipped saddle). Winning hurdler/pointer; close second latest despite slipped saddle; this looks stronger.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -100%) Talkingthetalk	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Talkingthetalk 16/1, Resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter but she has an all or nothing profile so not sure to be in same form now. Has won two small field chases at Uttoxeter this term; looks to have a stiffer task here.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +0%) Dynali	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Dynali 40/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with no encouragement for current stable. Dual Flat winner; 0-17 over jumps and out of form over fences recently; others stronger.
9	9 \|U\| (9) (7/4 -7%) Meechlands Magic	1.75 7/4(-7%)	(9) Meechlands Magic 7/4, Showed himself a much better chaser than hurdler second time up over fences when off the mark at Worcester from 10 lb out of the handicap on Thursday. Races off 3 lb lower here despite his penalty so obvious claims. Worcester winner from 10lb out of the handicap on 2nd chase start last week; fair chance.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (12/1 +14%) Newtonian	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Newtonian 12/1, Has been showing little recently and is likely to struggle again. Hard to fancy having finished 43l behind Meechlands Magic at Worcester last week.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

MEECHLANDS MAGIC must saddle a penalty having romped home at Worcester last week, but he was out of the handicap that day so actually competes off a 3lb lower mark now and might be a tough nut to crack. Frankie Faulkner has been a model of consistency in recent starts and is unlikely to be far away. Deadly Missile, who finished a good second at Market Rasen, appeals most of the remainder.

This looks likely to go to penalised-winner MEECHLANDS MAGIC, who scored from 10 lb out of the handicap at Worcester and is racing off 3 lb lower here despite his penalty, gets the nod. Frankie Faulkner and Can't Beat History can take minor honours.

The choice is MEECHLANDS MAGIC who showed improved form when winning from 10lb out of the handicap last week.

15:35 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (17/2 -42%) Kentford Mallard	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(6) Kentford Mallard 17/2, Jumps right but consistent for one at this level and shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off at Fontwell. One to consider having dipped to last winning mark. Largely consistent mare; placed at Fontwell last month, after a break; each-way claims.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +56%) Pottlerath	4 4/1(+56%)	(2) Pottlerath 4/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and sprouted wings over fences at the start of the summer, completing a hat-trick at Bangor. Patchy form since (including over hurdles off this sort of mark) and probably done his winning for the time-being. Not at best last week but was placed off today's mark two runs ago and likes this C&D.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -43%) Sammylou	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Sammylou 20/1, Well held in 2 runs for current stable but 14 lb below last winning mark now and this sort of test will suit. Has been out of form for a good while; needs to turn a corner.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +9%) Classic Concorde	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(1) Classic Concorde 5/2, Thriving and proved as good as ever as he completed a hat-trick in game style at Bangor (23f) a fortnight ago. Up 3 lb and no surprise to see him go well again. Resurgent 10yo who has won three in a row over 2m7f in recent weeks; major player.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +22%) Fine By Me	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) Fine By Me 7/2, Bangor hurdles winner who ran well there on his return in August but step backwards at Fontwell next time and up in grade here. Yard continues in red-hot form. Didn't fire at Fontwell last month but his earlier Bangor second was a good effort.
6th	7 6th (7) (3/1 -33%) Lady Berlais	3 3/1(-33%)	(7) Lady Berlais 3/1, Well backed but proved to be a disappointment on her first outing since leaving Tom Symonds after 6 months off at Newton Abbot. Probably worth another chance over this longer trip with headgear fitted. Flopped when well backed for recent stable debut but can come good soon.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +20%) Orange Gina	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Orange Gina 40/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but she has offered little over hurdles. Pulled up when upped to 2m7f last month and effectively 6lb higher here.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

CLASSIC CONCORDE has proved a thoroughly likeable performer of late, as seen earlier in the month when making all to land a hat-trick at Bangor, and the veteran is taken to add another victory to his tally off only 3lb higher in the ratings here. Fine By Me merits respect for a stable in red-hot form and the Nigel Twiston-Davies' inmate may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Kentford Mallard, who should appreciate the extra distance.

Trappy stuff and it's probably worth sticking with the thriving CLASSIC CONCORDE. He proved very game when scoring at Bangor and could get the 4-timer up in his current mood. Johnny B is interesting on his return, while it's too soon to write off Lady Berlais for Dan Skelton.

The answer might be POTTLERATH, who has a good record at this track and won't mind if the ground is on the quick side of good.

16:10 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -29%) Ben Buie	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(1) Ben Buie 9/2, Enjoyed a productive spell towards the end of 2022/23 campaign and right back to his best when able to dominate with the visor refitted at Warwick (16.2f, good) last month. He's never managed to win off a mark this high, though, and doesn't always find a great deal when push comes to shove. Looked back in prime form at Warwick last month and is probably still on a workable mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +60%) Sir Jack West	4 4/1(+60%)	(7) Sir Jack West 4/1, Stepped up on chase debut display when scoring at Worcester (2½m, good to soft) in May. Hasn't show much in 2 starts over hurdles since returning from a break, but excuses last time (didn't stay 23.3f on slow ground at Uttoxeter) and merits respect back in this sphere on a winning mark. Not one to rely upon but won off this mark in May and will be suited by today's ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 +45%) Family Pot	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(3) Family Pot 10/3, Won both outings at this venue in February, latterly over C&D off just a 2 lb lower mark. Creditable third when last seen in April (also over this C&D) and proved that he can go well fresh when scoring on seasonal reappearance last term, so ticks plenty of the right boxes. Dual course winner in February; big player if ready to roll after break.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 +25%) The Boat	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) The Boat 15/2, Did the job well when doubling his tally at Leicester (22.7f, good to firm) last December, but it was all downhill thereafter and he resumes from a 6-month absence with a point to prove. Ended last season in poor form but 196-day break might have done him good.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 -67%) Shot Tower	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(6) Shot Tower 15/2, Poor form over hurdles and while he was runner-up on second start in this sphere from a long way out of the handicap at Newton Abbot, that was in a 3-runner race and he was probably flattered (subsequent Worcester effort arguably confirms that impression). Others preferred. Grossly flattered by proximity when second of three last month; well held since.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/4 +0%) Sinister Minister	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(5) Sinister Minister 11/4, Consistent if not a tad frustrating since switched to fences, albeit he finally got the job done when accounting for 5 rivals in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and, with Finn Lambert again booked, he has to enter calculations. Rallied well to score at Bangor this month but has poor record on right-handed tracks.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (50/1 -25%) Fanzio	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Fanzio 50/1, Ended time with Richard Hobson with success at Taunton (2m) in March but hasn't shown much form in 5 starts for his current yard, pulled up on his last 2 outings. Wind op needs to help spark a return to form. Useful in his prime but badly out of sorts since switched to current stable in the spring.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

SINISTER MINISTER appreciated the drop from 3m to an extended 2m4f when landing the spoils at Bangor recently. Sheila Lewis' gelding is effectively 2lb lower here with Finn Lambert's 5lb claim negating a 3lb rise in the handicap and he should take all the beating. Fellow last-time-out winner Ben Buie likely has more to come in a retained visor and looks a big threat if seeing out the longer trip, while Hellfire Princess also makes some appeal on her chasing/seasonal debut.

The one who appeals most is FAMILY POT, who made a winning reappearance last season on the back of a similar period of absence and is just 2 lb above the mark off which he gained the second of his two victories here in February. Sir Jack West should be spot-on following a couple of spins over hurdles and he is feared most ahead of recent Bangor scorer Sinister Minister.

Preference is for dual course winner FAMILY POT, who signed off with a good run over C&D in April and won when fresh a year ago.

1	6 1st (6) (15/2 +73%) Fenney Brook	7.5 15/2(+73%)	(6) Fenney Brook 15/2, Thrived with 3 wins in 2022 but has started this season with a trio of below-par efforts. First run for a new yard after leaving Henry Daly. Not much has gone to plan this season; makes stable debut after £4,000 sale.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -11%) Never No Trouble	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(1) Never No Trouble 10/3, Gained reward for her consistency when winning 2m maiden here in February. Placed on all hurdle starts this season, on the latest going down by only a neck at Bangor. Should give another good account. Placed on last three appearances; climbing up the weights but still respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +0%) Come On Du Berlais	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Come On Du Berlais 9/2, Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott who has sown fair form in maiden/novice hurdles, finishing second at Market Rasen (16.5f) 17 days ago. Ought to be competitive from her opening mark. 0-7 over hurdles and not progressive but ran well in Market Rasen maiden last month.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +20%) Ocean Reach	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Ocean Reach 4/1, Modest Flat winner. Similar form over hurdles, although her recent Newton Abbot third from out of the handicap was a good effort and she's well treated back off her proper mark if that's taken at face value. Placed from out of the weights in recent selling handicap; effectively 14lb lower here.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +0%) Minniemum	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Minniemum 4/1, From a good family and made a sound start to her handicap career when third over 2m here in January. Not seen since so her peak fitness has to be taken on trust. Third here (2m) on handicap debut in January; a possible if tuned up after her break.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -79%) Admiral's Sunset	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Admiral's Sunset 25/1, Course winner who won a Stratford handicap chase over this trip in May. Runner-up at the same venue next time but her last 2 efforts have been a little disappointing. Needs a return to hurdles to spark a revival. On tempting mark for this return to hurdles but was well beaten in her latest chase.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (11/2 -57%) Happy Index	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(7) Happy Index 11/2, Got off the mark at Ludlow (21f, good) in May before running at least as well in defeat when second in 5-runner event at Fontwell a fortnight later. Off the track since but should be heavily involved if ready to roll after a break. Did well when switched to handicaps in the spring and further progress is possible.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

HAPPY INDEX threw away her chance when hitting the last at Fontwell over further in May, though compensation may await the daughter of Blue Bresil on this occasion. The drop in trip should suit and this unexposed five-year-old may have too much for the consistent Come On Du Berlais and Never No Trouble, who has been placed on six of her last seven starts.

OCEAN REACH was effectively third off a stone higher last time and might be worth a chance to show that doesn't flatter her. The consistent Never No Trouble is second choice ahead of Happy Index.

After running a big race in defeat at Bangor six weeks ago, NEVER NO TROUBLE (nap) returns to the scene of her maiden win in February.

1	9 1st (9) (4/7 +59%) Top Cloud	0.571429 4/7(+59%)	(9) Top Cloud 4/7, 11/4, much improved on back of a wind op/yard debut when readily landing conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f) eight days ago. He can race off a 4 lb lower mark here so is very much the one to beat. Won quite comfortably on recent stable debut and is effectively 4lb lower here.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +0%) Nickelforce	8 8/1(+0%)	(5) Nickelforce 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped encouragingly when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, soft) 35 days ago. Hood back on. Should have more to offer. Made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut last month; considered each-way.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -33%) Mactavish	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Mactavish 12/1, Remains a maiden and he came in last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, soft) 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Good third at Uttoxeter last month and subsequent defeat in a stamina test is excusable.
4	12 4th (12) (33/1 -32%) Robeam	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Robeam 33/1, Unreliable individual who came in last of 7 in handicap at Chester on Flat 32 days ago. It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2022. Ran okay on latest hurdling start but this regressive 7yo is difficult to enthuse over.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 +36%) Inspector Lynley	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) Inspector Lynley 9/1, Still a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Shortlisted. Not beaten far in any of his three completed handicaps but others look better treated.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +50%) Ranco	9 9/1(+50%)	(4) Ranco 9/1, Seemed well suited by the step up in trip when winning 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester in July. Below that form both runs since however so he has a bit to prove now. Now only 2lb higher than when winning in July but has become inconsistent this year.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -43%) Herecomeshogan	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Herecomeshogan 20/1, Dual hurdles winner at 18.5f last year but not been in same form since and has run poorly on the back of a wind op at Uttoxeter and Worcester last 2 runs. Has lots to prove. Not at best the year but will be suited by today's ground and is on a good mark.
8th	14 8th (14) (33/1 +59%) Araglen Star	33 33/1(+59%)	(14) Araglen Star 33/1, Poor maiden hurdler and easy to look elsewhere from 3 lb out of the handicap. Has a modicum of ability but will need to improve to get a win on the board.
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 -12%) Saved By The River	28 28/1(-12%)	(11) Saved By The River 28/1, Not the easiest to catch right and he came in only fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 54 days ago. Others are preferred. 33-1 third at Fontwell in June but didn't fire over that C&D on latest outing.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (18/1 -50%) Archie Macdart	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Archie Macdart 18/1, Maiden hurdler who appeared to excel himself when fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, good) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut now and needs to back it up. 0-7 over hurdles; ran well in last two novice races but needs to improve here.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 +0%) Professor Calculus	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Professor Calculus 50/1, Opened his account in a first-time visor at Taunton (19f) in February but largely well below that level since. Others are much preferred. Placed over 2m1f in June but not much has gone to plan since.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner on both his first run for new connections and after wind surgery at Stratford last week, TOP CLOUD must hold every chance of following up on what is just his seventh career outing. He was racing from 4lb out of the handicap that day and, as he escapes a penalty for landing that conditional jockeys' race, he is actually 4lb lower today now back off his true mark. Samatian may not have been in action since January but he was consistent throughout last season and has won fresh before, while Ranco also has the form to get involved in proceedings. Others to note include Archie Macdart, Inspector Lynley and Robeam.

TOP CLOUD took a big step forward on his first run for Robbie Llewellyn when going in at Stratford and is weighted to follow up off a 4 lb lower mark here. Samatian has won off a break so is next on the list on his seasonal return ahead of the lightly raced Nickelforce.

It's very hard to see beyond TOP CLOUD, who is effectively 4lb lower than when winning in good style on his recent stable debut.

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.
