1	5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +53%) My Bobby Dazzler		1.88 1.88/1(+53%)																															(5) My Bobby Dazzler 1.88/1, Three Aintree wins in 2021. Back in form when reaching the frame in big-field handicaps twice this spring and having been off 8 weeks, was lit up but stuck at it well enough to secure another frame finish at Cartmel (25.4f) 17 days ago. Point winner so one to consider on chase bow. Winning pointer/hurdler; quite interesting on chase debut but perhaps better at 3m now.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +27%) Silver Sheen		4 4/1(+27%)																															(3) Silver Sheen 4/1, Useful hurdler in Ireland for Jessica Harrington. Off 6 months and not discredited on both runs for his current yard, latest when fourth in 2m4f Leicester handicap chase in December. Needs considering after a wind op and with a first-time tongue tied applied. Three hurdle wins at up to 3m; not so good over fences so far; first run after wind op.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Martello Sky		4.5 4.5/1(-64%)																															(1) Martello Sky 4.5/1, Useful hurdler who has been pretty consistent in defeat at listed/Graded level last season. Heavy defeat back in a handicap on final run for Lucy Wadham but offered something to work on sent chasing when not beaten far in a match last month (lost a shoe). Big chance back in trip. Useful hurdler; good run in a match on chase debut (3m); perhaps better at 2m4f; chance.
4	4 |U| (4) (1.75/1 +36%) The Bomber Liston		1.75 1.75/1(+36%)																															(4) The Bomber Liston 1.75/1, Seemingly hard to train but ran well after 8 months off to hit the frame at Kempton on Boxing Day. Ran to a similar level when sixth at Wincanton (21.4f) a couple of months ago and attentions are now turned to the larger obstacles following a breathing op. Lightly raced 7yo; good 2nd over hurdles in March; chase debut after a wind op; chance.

LTO Selection:

18:50 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A tentative vote goes to MARTELLO SKY in a contest lacking depth. The daughter of Martaline finished two and a half lengths behind the winner over 3m at Uttoxeter on her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland last month. She can benefit from a shorter trip, given she weakened towards the finish on that occasion. Silver Sheen hasn't been seen since last December but is feared most in a first-time tongue-tie, while Ballybegg completes the shortlist.

Impossible to discount any of the quintet with MARTELLO SKY selected to score second time up in this sphere having gone down by just 2½ lengths when conceding 19 lb to a sole rival at Uttoxeter last month. Both The Bomber Liston and Silver Sheen have had breathing operations since last seen and they can chase the selection home in that order.

In a tricky trace, THE BOMBER LISTON is taken to make a winning debut over fences with Martello Sky also expected to go well.

1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Scarpia		2.5 2.5/1(+17%)																															(3) Scarpia 2.5/1, Good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to firm, 9/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 3 lb but he's in the mix. Has a patchy record, with only one win (January 2022) from ten attempts in handicaps.
2	5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 -67%) Polish		7.5 7.5/1(-67%)																															(5) Polish 7.5/1, Out of form when last seen out for John Gallagher, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good). Off 11 months but now back with former yard off a handy-looking mark. Interesting to see what the market makes of him. Back with Fergal O'Brien and well handicapped with any sort of a revival; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.88/1 +6%) Shantou Express		1.88 1.88/1(+6%)																															(1) Shantou Express 1.88/1, 6/4, resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise. Back on song when comfortably made all in four-runner Stratford race (3m2f) 12 days ago.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Hell Red		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(2) Hell Red 3.5/1, Enjoyed a highly-productive spell in chases last summer and made it 5 wins from 7 starts over fences when successful at Fontwell (21.6f) in April. Below-par fourth at Plumpton returned to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces last time so more is needed. Five chase wins in last 13 months in very small fields; not so good over hurdles latest.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +27%) Butler's Brief		5.5 5.5/1(+27%)																															(4) Butler's Brief 5.5/1, C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago so needs to bounce back. Should be a lot more interesting today than he was seven weeks ago after 186 days off.

19:20 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

An emphatic winner over an extended 3m2f earlier this month, Shantou Express can go close off a 6lb raised mark. However, a shorter stamina test looks set to suit SCARPIA. Nicky Henderson's inmate was headed after the last over 3m1f on his latest outing at Huntingdon and a first-time tongue-tie can give him the edge. Hell Red also warrants a market check.

POLISH returns from an absence now back with Fergal O'Brien off a good-looking mark so could be worth chancing. Scarpia is feared most on the back of his good Huntingdon second, with Stratford scorer Shantou Express also in the mix in a trappy handicap.

All five are considered seriously but SHANTOU EXPRESS backed up a Stratford win last May with a good run here and may do so again.

1	6 1st (6) (2.25/1 +10%) Well Done Dani		2.25 2.25/1(+10%)																															(6) Well Done Dani 2.25/1, Placed 3 times during the autumn and improved when opening her account on the back of a break/wind op at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in April. Creditable third of 10 at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) since. Likely to be in the shake-up.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Only Fools		2.25 2.25/1(+36%)																															(7) Only Fools 2.25/1, Fair Flat winner in France. Better signs over hurdles since handicapping, finishing second of 13 over 18.5f at Newton Abbot last time. Considered.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.6/1 -20%) Melvich Bay		3.6 3.6/1(-20%)																															(5) Melvich Bay 3.6/1, Looks to be getting her act together now, finishing second of 5 in a 2m Kelso novice 18 days ago. That was an uncompetitive race of its type but a mark of 80 could still underestimate her back in a handicap.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 +25%) Fabreze		12 12/1(+25%)																															(2) Fabreze 12/1, Poor form in 4 hurdle starts in Ireland in 2021/22 but did manage a point win there this spring. Worth a precautionary market check on her debut for new connections.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +11%) Luna Dora		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Luna Dora 4/1, Made light of a five-month absence and a bad mistake at halfway when readily landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April. Effort flattened out when fifth over 19.5f at Bangor latest and this return to 2m could help.
6th	8 6th (8) (40/1 -60%) Autumn Blaze		40 40/1(-60%)																															(8) Autumn Blaze 40/1, No promise in 2 bumpers and 3 hurdles. Has a basement mark to work with now handicapping after wind op but still hard to make a case for.

19:50 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ONLY FOOLS finished a decent second over an extended 2m2f last time and could be worth taking a chance on dropping in distance. She is rated 2lb higher for the aforementioned effort, but still makes plenty of appeal based on the pick of her form. Recent distance runner-up Melvich Bay is another to consider as she looks to be getting the hang of things now, while you can make a decent case for Well Done Dani too.

Although it wasn't a strong novice MELVICH BAY was second in last time it's rare one who was beaten 4½ lengths in a race of that nature gets the opportunity to run in a handicap off a lowly mark of 80 on their next start so she's the suggestion. Only Fools and Well Done Dani can fight it out for minor honours.

Several need to be considered seriously but WELL DONE DANI may emerge on top from Only Fools.

1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -33%) Baileys Derbyday		12 12/1(-33%)																															(2) Baileys Derbyday 12/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) and is a half-brother to useful hurdler Pilansberg. Still, he will need to step on his first 2 efforts in this sphere in order to play a leading role here. Hood applied. Fair Flat handicapper; modest efforts over jumps (pulled hard last time); hood now tried.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 -50%) Kenzai Warrior		3 3/1(-50%)																															(5) Kenzai Warrior 3/1, Useful sort on Flat and produced a step forward from his hurdles debut when second of 12 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in December. However, efforts on the level the last twice have been poor. Good second at Taunton in December but disappointing since (last two on the Flat); player.
3	10 3rd (10) (33/1 -83%) Sobegrand		33 33/1(-83%)																															(10) Sobegrand 33/1, Went the wrong way following promising debut second for the Gosdens on the Flat at Kempton. Failed to make much of an impact on hurdles debut at Bangor, though, and subsequently gelded. Signs of ability on the Flat and likely to improve on sole jumps run after being gelded.
4	4 4th (4) (0.5/1 +64%) Evenwood Sonofagun		0.5 0.5/1(+64%)																															(4) Evenwood Sonofagun 0.5/1, Made the frame on plenty of occasions when trained in Ireland and has shown ability both completed starts on these shores, too. Has undergone a wind op and he's one of the more likely winners. Back after a wind op; sound fifth over C&D last time (first four all won since); chance.
5th	3 5th (3) (40/1 +39%) Blazing Court		40 40/1(+39%)																															(3) Blazing Court 40/1, Showed only poor form in a pair of bumpers and it was much the same in maiden hurdles at Southwell and Taunton during the winter. Best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Lantic Bay. Modest form in two bumpers and plenty to prove after two ordinary efforts over hurdles.
6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -65%) Valparaiso		33 33/1(-65%)																															(9) Valparaiso 33/1, Bagged a 1½m Doncaster handicap for Marcus Tregoning in April 2021 but below par when last seen in June of that year. Wellbeing has to be taken on trust ahead of this hurdles debut for new connections. Won over 1m4f on good to firm on the Flat; no easy task on jumps debut after two years off.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 -100%) Thrifty Scot		14 14/1(-100%)																															(8) Thrifty Scot 14/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Lady Valerie and represents a strong yard that can ready one first-time-out. Watch the betting for clues. Half-brother to a bumper winner out of an unraced mare; market best guide on debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -127%) Lantic Bay		50 50/1(-127%)																															(6) Lantic Bay 50/1, Dream Eater gelding. Dam winning pointer/runner-up sole start over fences. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers but he's worth a second look in the betting all the same. First foal of a winning pointer; perhaps best watched on debut.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 -100%) Nyoufsea		200 200/1(-100%)																															(7) Nyoufsea 200/1, Poor maiden who was pulled up for the fourth time in his last 5 starts (all over fences) at Warwick at the end of March. Looks set for another struggle back hurdling, unless the addition of blinkers have a profound effect. Long-standing maiden; tried in blinkers (has run in cheekpieces); others stronger.
1	1 |RO| (1) (40/1 -21%) Ascension Day		40 40/1(-21%)																															(1) Ascension Day 40/1, €6,000 3-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fair hurdler Payngo, stayed 3m. Didn't show much in 3 starts between the flags last spring, however. Modest Irish pointer who is best watched on his hurdles/stable debut.

20:25 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN may have been comfortably beaten over C&D last time out, but the form of that race has worked out extremely well and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at the 12th time of asking. Fit from two runs on the level, Kenzai Warrior has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Taunton, while Baileys Derbyday is one who is entitled to improve on what he's shown so far.

EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN and Kenzai Warrior have both shown more than enough ability to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within reach. Marginal preference is for the former, who should come on for his reappearance spin over C&D last month. Newcomer Thrifty Scot is one to note in the betting.

The form of the race in which EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN (nap) finished fifth last time is rock solid and he can break his duck over hurdles.

1	6 1st (6) (14/1 -133%) No Recollection		14 14/1(-133%)																															(6) No Recollection 14/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who took well to hurdles for Alan King last summer, winning a C&D maiden. Much better than bare result at Market Rasen on debut for this stable and should strip fitter for it. Ex-Alan King; quite useful on Flat and a C&D winner over jumps; well held on stable debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 -10%) John Betjeman		2.75 2.75/1(-10%)																															(2) John Betjeman 2.75/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ffos Las in March. 9/4, creditable 2 lengths second of 8 to Nibras Gold in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, clear of rest. Has been consistent of late and another solid showing seems likely. In good form this year and 3lb better off with Nibras Gold who beat him by 2l last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (0.83/1 +45%) Nibras Gold		0.83 0.83/1(+45%)																															(1) Nibras Gold 0.83/1, Fair stayer on the Flat who has taken well to hurdling. Doubled his tally in this sphere back from 8 months off in a handicap at Ffos Las 24 days ago and makes plenty of appeal again. C&D winner last summer; back to form to win a Ffos Las h'cap last time; up 6lb; chance.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +44%) Dutch Admiral		14 14/1(+44%)																															(7) Dutch Admiral 14/1, Modest hurdler who was below form when last seen in this sphere and hasn't been offering much encouragement on the Flat this year. Hurdle winner in 2020; mixed form after that; poor form on Flat after 444 days off in 2023.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 +0%) Chasamax		25 25/1(+0%)																															(4) Chasamax 25/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson but ended time with that yard on a downer and no positives to draw from what he's done for current stable. Three wins for Nicky Henderson but not shown much for present yard; others stronger.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -33%) Gerard Mentor		12 12/1(-33%)																															(3) Gerard Mentor 12/1, Scored twice last autumn but last 2 efforts have been poor. Might strip fitter for return at Ludlow but others are still more appealing. Four wins on good/soft at around 2m last term; not run as well since but could bounce back.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -54%) Striking Out		10 10/1(-54%)																															(5) Striking Out 10/1, Irish point winner who scored over hurdles and made a positive start over fences. Unseated at Chepstow in that sphere last time but fixed-brush obstacles should suit back in this sphere. Also in cheekpieces for the first time. Irish point/maiden hurdle winner; some fair efforts since but drop to 2m not sure to suit.

21:00 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash between NIBRAS GOLD (first) and John Betjeman (second) at Ffos Las, and it is the former who is taken to uphold that form at a track where he won comfortably last June. Striking Out is interesting on his return to hurdles, while Gerard Mentor is another to note and can go well if bouncing back to form.

NIBRAS GOLD already has a C&D win to his name and, having returned with an improved display to score at Ffos Las recently, he makes most appeal. Old rival John Betjeman is a danger. Striking Out is another one to consider back over hurdles.

Having looked a decent prospect last season, GERARD MENTOR is taken to beat the in-form pair of Nibras Gold and John Betjeman.

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.
