1	7 1st (7) (11/2 +15%) Rocks Up Late	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(7) Rocks Up Late 11/2, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Huntingdon most recent run and no really worthwhile form; tongue-tie tried Weak claims on form; market may prove best guide on handicap/chase/stable debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +15%) Tactical Affair	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(2) Tactical Affair 11/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Plumpton latest after taken on up front; in solid form prior to that off quite stiff marks, today's more lenient and one to consider 0-5 over fences; continues to drop in weights and is attractively treated on best form.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 -13%) Dj Pete	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Dj Pete 9/2, Two good chase efforts and improved from debut when beaten 3/4l off 95 over 2m at Chepstow last time; up a 1lb, but obvious contender Good runner-up at Chepstow last time and that was only his second attempt over fences.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +40%) Grain Trade	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) Grain Trade 6/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Huntingdon latest and best judged on about 4l 4th off 84 at same track three starts back; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; chase debut Not particularly solid on hurdles form and lacked fluency last time; chase debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 -27%) Tropical Talent	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(6) Tropical Talent 7/2, Out-battled late when second beaten 5l in a handicap chase over 2m at Hereford latest; repeat of that would give him a big shout off same mark Won off a similar mark last May; ran creditably at Hereford most recently; solid claims.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -14%) Electric Jet	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Electric Jet 4/1, Well backed beaten 2 1/4l off 100 over 2m at Newcastle last time backing up previous near miss at Ludlow off a 98; contender Has performed well on the figures in two starts since dropped to 2m; possibilities.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -20%) Haafback	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Haafback 12/1, Made too much use of fourth beaten 8l in a handicap chase over 2m at Warwick latest, but in poor form of late and that run probably best reflects chance Inconsistent but he's one of only two runners who already have winning chase form.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (40/1 -186%) Head Over Hinds	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Head Over Hinds 40/1, Comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m at Hereford on debut; hood first time; hurdle form suggests mark is quite stiff Inconsistent maiden; chance depends on whether he improves for first-time hood.

17:48 Worcester (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DJ PETE hit the woodwork in a tougher contest than this at Chepstow last month and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 1lb. The son of Malinas may have more to offer on only his fourth handicap start and will prove tough to beat. Tropical Talent failed to justify favouritism but wasn't disgraced in second at Hereford last time and is likely to be thereabouts. Of the remainder, Electric Jet makes the most appeal.

Judged on his efforts since dropped to 2m, ELECTRIC JET appears to have an ordinary race in him. Tropical Talent is second pick.

6	6 \|U\| (6) (12/1 -9%) Masterdream	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Masterdream 12/1, Down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Bath on the Flat most recent run in September; only beaten 3l off a 103 in a chase in June, but risky that will find that form after a rest Flat/hurdles winner; ran creditably in the first of two attempts over fences.

18:18 Worcester (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

HOLOKEA has occupied the runner-up berth over hurdles the last twice and is a previous course winner. Mickey Bowen's six-year-old has taken a step forward on each of his last three outings and it would be no surprise to see him score now tackling a fence. Pottlerath struck in good style at Stratford on his most recent start and holds an obvious chance off 7lb higher. Impatient looks best of the rest.

Solid-looking chase debutant HOLOKEA (nap) is preferred, ahead of Pottlerath who won this contest in 2023.

18:48 Worcester (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

EARTH KING went in by just under a length in a stronger event at Exeter when last seen in October and makes his return to action off a 6lb higher mark. The nine-year-old should find this a little easier and can go in again. Ebony Warrior secured his second victory over the smaller obstacles at Warwick in March and is an interesting contender back in a handicap. Shantou Express is another to note.

With the cheekpieces retained, ROCKADENN may be able to end a long losing spell. Ebony Warrior is second choice.

9th	14 9th (14) (6/1 +63%) Master Dancer	6 6/1(+63%)	(14) Master Dancer 6/1, Probably needed race fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest; can improve on that, but mark looks a little stiff More on his second start since a wind op latest; on a handy mark if able to build on that.

19:18 Worcester (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A few with chances, but preference is for the James Owen-trained JACKPOT CASH, who arrives in search of a hat-trick having recorded wins at Sedgefield (fences) and Stratford recently. The six-year-old had a bit in hand crossing the line last time and, although 8lb higher, he still might not have reached the ceiling of his ability. Market Rasen scorer Groovy Blue enters handicaps off a potentially workable mark and must enter calculations, along with Teorie and Liverpool Knight.

The vote goes to LIVERPOOL KNIGHT, who's used to plying his trade in better company and will appreciate the step back up in trip.

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

Squire Danagher was a useful performer on the level and Ben Pauling's new recruit will be a real force if taking to this new discipline, but the vote goes to HAVEFUNONTHERUN. The son of Doctor Dino shaped with promise when fourth in a bumper at Huntingdon on his racecourse bow last month. Connections waste no time in sending him over hurdles and it would come as no surprise were he to progress. Fresh As A Daisy is also noted.

The Verdict comprises SOUL LIMBO, Fresh As A Daisy and Havefunontherun who have shown clear promise in bumpers.

20:18 Worcester (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

RENOIR was raised 5lb after winning at Hereford in March but Ben Clarke's gelding had pulled well clear with the runner-up that day and, with the prospect of more to come, that hike from the assessor could prove to be lenient. Katana goes handicapping with scope for improvement so makes plenty of appeal, and it would come as no surprise to see the consistent Estate Planning on the premises.

Katana needs to put in a better round of jumping, and preference is for RENOIR, who's proving better as a hurdler than on the Flat.

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.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
