1	1 (1) (11/4 +0%) Guard Duty		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(1) Guard Duty 11/4, Talented enough to make a winning bumper debut at Southwell in November. Good third at Warwick 3 months later, but did quite a bit wrong after a long absence when fourth on recent hurdling debut (pulled hard and jumped sketchily) at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) last month. Hood applied. Bumper winner; only fourth on hurdling debut but can improve if hood helps him settle.
10	10 (10) (18/1 +10%) Either Way		18 18/1(+10%)																															(10) Either Way 18/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and joined a top yard but proved too free when failing to meet market expectations in a Southwell bumper last month. Again failed to last out back there just over 3 weeks ago but it's too soon to be writing her off now hurdling. With a top stable but showed only minor promise in two mares' bumpers this spring.
1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +10%) Jumeirah King		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(7) Jumeirah King 9/2, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but fitted with a tongue tie, failed badly to meet expectations on hurdles debut in January. Showed a bit more at Wincanton 3 months later but failed to improve much more when fourth at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) last month. Fairly useful on the Flat and is improving with experience over hurdles; likely contender.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 -5%) Authoceltic		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(6) Authoceltic 7/2, Authorized colt who made a promising start to his career when 9 lengths third of 10 to Salver in Exeter juvenile hurdle. Failed to back that up in France since and didn't make much of an impact on his recent handicap debut. More expected back in this company. Respectable sixth in Class 3 handicap at Newton Abbot this month; shortlisted here.
3	3 3rd (3) (450/1 -3650%) Red Hugh		450 450/1(-3650%)																															(3) Red Hugh 450/1, Point winner who underperformed when sent off 11/10 for his Rules debut at Thurles in March. Much more like it 10 weeks on when third at Tipperary last month and now makes hurdles bow having switched yards. Check betting. Placed in Tipperary bumper for Emmet Mullins last month; makes stable/hurdle debut today.
4	12 4th (12) (66/1 -100%) Queens Venture		66 66/1(-100%)																															(12) Queens Venture 66/1, Made the frame on the second of 2 starts in points but was readily outpointed once the pace lifted when seventh of 9 in bumper (11/4) at Southwell (15.8f, soft) on Rules debut just over 3 weeks ago. Makes the quick switch to hurdles and shouldn't be underestimated for her top yard. Made low-key rules debut when seventh of nine in mares' bumper this month.
5th	4 5th (4) (250/1 -150%) Selectivelistening		250 250/1(-150%)																															(4) Selectivelistening 250/1, Well held on his completed starts in points and fared no better on his debut under Rules in maiden hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) just under 2 weeks ago. Maiden pointer who was soundly beaten in C&D maiden hurdle on rules debut a fortnight ago.
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 -371%) Minella Miracle		66 66/1(-371%)																															(2) Minella Miracle 66/1, Modest in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher and ran to a similar level sent hurdling for new yard when third of 11 in a maiden at Stratford (16.3f, good) last month. Disappointed with his finishing effort up in trip there next time so no surprise to see him back at 2m. Placed on stable/hurdle debut in May but his latest run was a backward step.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -843%) Lion Wait		66 66/1(-843%)																															(8) Lion Wait 66/1, Fair form in 2 maidens on Flat for Andrew Oliver then sold for 72,000 gns last October. Worth a second look on hurdles bow/return. Displayed significant promise in two Irish Flat maidens last year; interesting recruit.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -809%) Trudie Glen		100 100/1(-809%)																															(11) Trudie Glen 100/1, Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper last May. Not in the same form at Catterick 6 months later but pleasing start to hurdles career when runner-up at Southwell last month. Failed to build on that at Market Rasen just under 3 weeks ago however, but it remains early days. Second on last month's hurdling debut but latest run was a backward step; others stronger.
9th	5 9th (5) (100/1 -525%) Zain Farhh		100 100/1(-525%)																															(5) Zain Farhh 100/1, Rather lost his way on the Flat for Paul Webber last year and sold for just £3,500 last month. Watching brief advised on hurdling debut. Showed some fair Flat form but makes stable/hurdle debut after 278-day absence.
9	9 |F| (9) (20/1 -233%) Think First		20 20/1(-233%)																															(9) Think First 20/1, Useful Flat performer (stays 14.5f) for James Tate. Went close on hurdling debut at Doncaster back in November and returns to this sphere after a few Flat outings this spring. Serious claims. Very useful Flat-racer; second of three in juvenile hurdle in November; can feature here.

16:28 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

After racing keenly on his hurdling bow last month, it is no surprise that Emma Lavelle opts to place a hood on GUARD DUTY. That said, it was a creditable performance to finish fourth and, should the headgear allow him to settle, the Kapgarde gelding could show his true colours. Red Hugh displayed signs of promise in bumpers for Emmet Mullins and is of interest now in the care of Jake Coulson, while others to note include Either Way and Queens Venture.

Preference is for THINK FIRST, who showed plenty of aptitude for hurdling when finishing runner-up at Doncaster in November and Neil Mulholland's charge can go one better arriving fit from the Flat. Trudie Glen has shown promise in a couple of maiden hurdles this spring and she should have more to offer for her top yard, with Authoceltic and Guard Duty another couple worth considering, also.

Not seen to best effect after racing too freely on his hurdling debut, GUARD DUTY can display the necessary improvement here.

4	4 (4) (50/1 -52%) Barleythorpe		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Barleythorpe 50/1, In need of the experience but hinted at ability in a bumper at Market Rasen on debut, before making little impression when sixth of 9 at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to firm) in May. Makes hurdling bow on first start since leaving Pam Sly. Not disgraced in two bumpers for Pam Sly this spring; stable/hurdle debut today.
1	5 1st (5) (5/6 +17%) Brave Knight		0.833333 5/6(+17%)																															(5) Brave Knight 5/6, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 2m) for Sir Mark Prescott, winning 2 handicaps last year and running well when third at Ascot on final outing in October. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Captain Brown, so he's one to note on hurdles debut. Fairly useful on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott; joined top stable for hurling career.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +0%) Nowmelad		2 2/1(+0%)																															(3) Nowmelad 2/1, Point winner who ran to a modest level both starts in bumpers, but made an encouraging start in this sphere when runner-up in a Ffos Las maiden (15.8f, good) last month. Can make another bold bid with his hurdling debut effort behind him. Good second of 12 on last month's hurdling debut at Ffos Las; leading contender here.
3	12 3rd (12) (28/1 -133%) Lady Wormsley		28 28/1(-133%)																															(12) Lady Wormsley 28/1, Fair form when winning 2 handicaps on the Flat in 2023 (both at 1m) and wasn't disgraced when sixth of 13 at Kempton when last seen in November. Has left James Fanshawe ahead of her hurdles debut. Fair on the Flat at up to 1m; makes stable/hurdle debut here.
4	10 4th (10) (16/1 -220%) Olivia Kate		16 16/1(-220%)																															(10) Olivia Kate 16/1, Well held in bumpers and fared little better sent hurdling on her return. However, she showed much more than previously when third in novice at this C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago, so she's one to consider with tongue strap added. No threat on hurdling debut but her clear third here this month was quite promising.
5th	9 5th (9) (400/1 -300%) Miss Kassiopi		400 400/1(-300%)																															(9) Miss Kassiopi 400/1, Very green when down the field in a Warwick bumper on debut, before weakening quickly when last of 9 at the same course (2m, soft) in January. Looks to be up against it as she goes hurdling. Soundly beaten in two soft-ground bumpers last season; hurdle debut today.
6th	1 6th (1) (300/1 -500%) Billy Butcher		300 300/1(-500%)																															(1) Billy Butcher 300/1, Down the field on first 2 starts in bumpers but under less testing conditions he showed his first form when seventh of 16 at Ludlow (15.8f, good) in April. Task is now to build on his latest effort as he goes hurdling. Not beaten far in his latest bumper but further improvement needed on hurdling debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (450/1 -1700%) Mokoro		450 450/1(-1700%)																															(2) Mokoro 450/1, In top hands but well held in a bumper and both starts over hurdles so far, faring little better after a wind op when a remote fourth in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Improvement required. Soundly beaten in a bumper and on first two hurdling starts.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 -203%) Katstar		100 100/1(-203%)																															(7) Katstar 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat at up to 10f. Switched to hurdling on his first start since leaving Harry Eustace, made little impression when sixth of 13 in maiden at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) last month. Much more needed. Ran well to a point on recent stable/hurdle debut; not ruled out each-way.
6	6 |PU| (6) (100/1 -300%) Go Johnny Go		100 100/1(-300%)																															(6) Go Johnny Go 100/1, Won sole start in point bumpers though looked a hard ride switched to Rules at Exeter in April. Finished third in a point subsequently, but offered little on his hurdling/stable debut when pulled up in novice at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 3 weeks ago. Pulled up in pretty thin Newton Abbot novice on recent hurdling debut.
11	11 |PU| (11) (100/1 -203%) Be My Design		100 100/1(-203%)																															(11) Be My Design 100/1, Mahler filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Knowwhentoholdem. Was going well and looked to have every chance when fell 3 out sole start in Irish points in May. One of the more interesting hurdling newcomers in the line-up. In process of making promising Irish point debut before falling last month.

17:05 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having shown a smart level of form on the Flat, BRAVE KNIGHT may prove to be a shrewd acquisition and it would be no surprise if he had enough in the locker to score on his debut for Paul Nicholls. Mokoro hasn't cut much ice in his two starts over hurdles but on his second start after wind surgery, an improved showing is not out of the question. Point-to-point winner Nowmelad found only one rival too good on his hurdles debut last month and he merits respect.

BRAVE KNIGHT developed into a fairly useful handicapper on the Flat last year for Sir Mark Prescott, winning at Windsor and Chester, so he looks to be an interesting recruit to hurdling for his leading yard. He is taken to get the better of Nowmelad, who shaped encouragingly on his hurdles bow.

Brave Knight was a talented Flat-racer but slight preference is for the proven hurdling ability of NOWMELAD.

1	9 1st (9) (12/1 -71%) Mactavish		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) Mactavish 12/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Hereford (both at 21.7f) last year and largely creditable efforts since, save for his latest display back at Hereford. Each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. Didn't fire when well backed last time but a big player if judged on earlier Ludlow second.
2	13 2nd (13) (28/1 -40%) Bergentown		28 28/1(-40%)																															(13) Bergentown 28/1, Little show after making a winning start for this yard at Bangor last June and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Won when fresh last year but was out of form when last seen in the autumn.
3	4 3rd (4) (66/1 -164%) Present Fair		66 66/1(-164%)																															(4) Present Fair 66/1, Brushed off a disappointing run over fences when winning 2m handicap back in this sphere at Uttoxeter in December. However, he has failed to repeat that in 4 subsequent starts (has undergone another wind op since latest outing in April) and needs to bounce back. Has lost his way since winning on heavy ground in December; others have less to prove.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -167%) Shuil Ceoil		12 12/1(-167%)																															(3) Shuil Ceoil 12/1, Confirmed earlier promise when winning 15-runner handicap at Exeter (21f, heavy) in December. Runner-up twice since and latest fourth of 15 at Ffos Las was another good effort, so there is certainly cause for optimism. Returned to form with two good efforts this spring and can make his presence felt again.
5th	14 5th (14) (100/1 -614%) Jormungandr		100 100/1(-614%)																															(14) Jormungandr 100/1, No real impact in his qualifying runs and significant step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Tailed off in all three qualifying runs but still worth a glance in the betting.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -313%) Zucayan		33 33/1(-313%)																															(5) Zucayan 33/1, Got his head in front at Ludlow last spring but he hasn't made much of an impact in 2 completed starts since and others make more appeal. Returned from break with encouraging run in April; suffered nasty fall last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (300/1 -3650%) Glimpse Of Glory		300 300/1(-3650%)																															(7) Glimpse Of Glory 300/1, Shaped with promise when placed in juvenile events at Wetherby and Market Rasen this spring. No match for the upwardly mobile Mostly Sunny on handicap debut at Southwell (15.8f, soft) but that wasn't a bad effort by any means and he should improve for this step up in trip. Unexposed 4yo; placed on all three starts; tries a new trip today.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -400%) Gentle Victor		80 80/1(-400%)																															(11) Gentle Victor 80/1, Latest third in an 8-runner Bangor handicap (19.6f, good) was just about his best effort yet. 1 lb lower now but another step forward will be needed if he's to make an impact here. Kept on for third at Bangor this month but needs further progress here.
9th	8 9th (8) (125/1 -525%) Hedera Park		125 125/1(-525%)																															(8) Hedera Park 125/1, Reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles before improving to make a winning handicap debut over C&D in September. However, two heavy defeats have followed and she now finds herself with a bit to prove. Hood refitted. C&D winner in September and shaped well here last week, after a layoff.
10th	12 10th (12) (350/1 -961%) Dreamsundermyfeet		350 350/1(-961%)																															(12) Dreamsundermyfeet 350/1, Dual chase winner in 2021/22 but largely struggled since and similar scenario likely back hurdling here following a 6-month absence. Badly lost his way over fences last year; reverts to hurdling after a break.
11th	6 11th (6) (300/1 -5355%) Faded Fantasy		300 300/1(-5355%)																															(6) Faded Fantasy 300/1, Opened his account in a 20.5f Southwell maiden last June and produced by far his best effort since when a strong-finishing close second over this C&D at the beginning of the month. Remains on a good mark up 6 lb and he's a live contender. Has modest strike-rate but went close over C&D this month and is still on a wotkable mark.
12th	2 12th (2) (350/1 -7678%) Bread And Butter		350 350/1(-7678%)																															(2) Bread And Butter 350/1, Has fallen appreciably in the weights and better than for a while refitted with a tongue strap after 4 months off when third of 9 at Taunton (19f, good) in April. Failed to back that up under an inexperienced rider next time but could have a big part to play under stronger handling here. Not the force of old but made the frame on consecutive outings this spring; e-w claims.
1	1 |PU| (1) (250/1 -4900%) Beat The Heat		250 250/1(-4900%)																															(1) Beat The Heat 250/1, Bagged 3 handicap hurdles at Fontwell in 2022 and returned to form when hitting the target back there in a first-time visor (retained) a fortnight ago. 5 lb rise fair enough and he's one for the shortlist. Bounced back to form to win in new headgear at Fontwell this month; 5lb rise manageable.

17:40 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FADED FANTASY pulled clear with the eventual winner when finishing an excellent second over C&D earlier this month, and Christian Williams' charge gets the vote to shoulder a 6lb rise to go one place better this time around. Glimpse Of Glory bumped into an improver when runner-up on his handicap debut over 2m at Southwell last time and a prominent showing off an unchanged mark looks likely. Beat The Heat responded well to a first-time visor (retained) when winning cosily over 2m3f at Fontwell recently, and he completes the shortlist.

The most appealing of these is lightly-raced 4-y-o GLIMPSE OF GLORY, who promised to be well-served by this step up in trip. Bread And Butter is lurking on a dangerous mark and he is feared most ahead of Faded Fantasy and recent Fontwell winner Beat The Heat.

Back in good nick when going close over C&D at the start of this month, FADED FANTASY (nap) is still well handicapped after a 6lb rise.

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.
