1
1st (2) Stumps Or Slips (3.33/1 +5%)
Stumps Or Slips

3.33/1(+5%)
(2) Stumps Or Slips 3.33/1, Seven-race maiden over hurdles and didn't jump well on chase debut at Warwick in February. Again didn't look a natural at the same course (16.2f, good) next time but the mistakes didn't stop him winning and strong claims up 6 lb here.
Scored at Warwick in April and remains unexposed over fences; shortlisted.
2
2nd (5) Sinister Minister (9/1 +64%)
Sinister Minister

9/1(+64%)
(5) Sinister Minister 9/1, After 8 months off, proved that he retains his ability when runner-up over hurdles here in October. However, well held both starts since and needs to turn things round now switched to fences in first-time cheekpieces.
Inconsistent maiden hurdler; makes chase debut with cheekpieces added.
3
3rd (3) Sir Jack West (2.75/1 -22%)
Sir Jack West

2.75/1(-22%)
(3) Sir Jack West 2.75/1, Hurdles winner at Leicester in November and off the mark at second attempt in this sphere over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. 4 lb rise by no means harsh and he has to enter calculations.
Successful in similar event over C&D last month (second chase start); highly respected.
4
4th (9) Caro Des Flos (11/1 +8%)
Caro Des Flos

11/1(+8%)
(9) Caro Des Flos 11/1, Poor strike rate and efforts since returning from a break have hardly hinted that a revival is imminent. Now tried in blinkers.
Defied a higher mark over C&D two years ago; modest claims on 2023 form.
5th
5th (7) Hermes Le Gris (6/1 +40%)
Hermes Le Gris

6/1(+40%)
(7) Hermes Le Gris 6/1, Disappointing in handicap hurdles this year and it's hard to envisage him reversing recent C&D placings with Sir Jack West (finished 15½ lengths adrift of that rival).
Finished third to Sir Jack West over C&D on chase debut; may build on that.
6th
6th (6) Famoso (16/1 -33%)
Famoso

16/1(-33%)
(6) Famoso 16/1, Yet to win a race of any description and, unless the change of scenery (makes debut for new yard) has a positive effect, he will probably struggle once more.
Disappointing maiden who can be opposed on debut for new yard.
7th
7th (8) Dogem By Design (28/1 -133%)
Dogem By Design

28/1(-133%)
(8) Dogem By Design 28/1, Improved when second in a 5-runner Catterick handicap chase (15,7f, good) in February but that is very much a standout effort. Others preferred for win purposes.
Holds each-way hopes on best effort but he's not solid.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Fox's Socks (3/1 -9%)
Fox's Socks

3/1(-9%)
(4) Fox's Socks 3/1, Winning hurdler who has posted solid efforts in defeat on 2 of his 4 starts since switched to fences, most recently faring best of those held up when third of 11 at Southwell (20.4f, good). Needs considering off the same mark.
Placed in two of his four attempts over fences, third at Southwell latest.
|PU|
|PU| (1) Ornua (66/1 -32%)
Ornua

66/1(-32%)
(1) Ornua 66/1, One-time smart chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but not so good nowadays and he was beaten a long way at Ludlow when last seen in December.
Drop in class may help but others hold stronger claims on recent evidence.
LTO Selection:

14:00 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Unexposed as a chaser, SIR JACK WEST was in unstoppable form when landing a similar contest over C&D 17 days ago and, while a 6lb higher mark demands more of him, he could well follow up. Stumps Or Slips has a similar burden to adjust to following his 2m success at Warwick in April and appears the chief threat to the selection, while Fox's Socks has some scope for improvement too.

FOX'S SOCKS put in a good shift when third back from a break at Southwell and he could be the answer off the same mark. Stumps Or Slips and Sir Jack West both struck at the second attempt over fences on their latest outings and the former is feared most.

Unexposed over fences and a C&D scorer last month, SIR JACK WEST (nap) holds strong claims. Stumps Or Slips is feared most.

1st (2) Kakamora (4.5/1 -80%)
Kakamora

4.5/1(-80%)
(2) Kakamora 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who gained his first success in this sphere in 5-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) in April, forging clear. Ran no sort of race at Ludlow since, however.
Flopped at Ludlow last month and has something to prove, but he won two starts ago.
2
2nd (1) Aviewtosea (1.38/1 +15%)
Aviewtosea

1.38/1(+15%)
(1) Aviewtosea 1.38/1, Made it 3-4 over fences last season when seeing off 3 rivals over C&D in September. Probably needed the run after 8 months off at Southwell 19 days ago, eventually beaten much further than looked likely entering the straight. Should do much better here.
Won two in a row last August/September and could be sharper for recent comeback run.
3
3rd (3) Shetland Bus (6.5/1 -8%)
Shetland Bus

6.5/1(-8%)
(3) Shetland Bus 6.5/1, It all clicked for him over fences with cheekpieces added in the autumn, winning over shorter trips at Stratford and Fakenham. Not been in same form in 3 outings since, though, and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Change of headgear.
Below his best this spring and hopes are pinned on first-time visor turning things around.
|U|
|U| (4) Dalkingstown (1.88/1 +44%)
Dalkingstown

1.88/1(+44%)
(4) Dalkingstown 1.88/1, Won a chase/hurdle over 23f here last summer and shaped as if needing the run when falling at Plumpton on return 3 weeks ago. Claims.
May have needed last month's comeback and he won two in a row here last summer.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

The versatile DALKINGSTOWN has a good record here and looks worth chancing given that he gets plenty of weight from his three rivals. Assuming he is none the worse for a fall at Plumpton last month, the Peter Bowen-trained gelding is dangerous to underestimate now he is back on a winning mark. Aviewtosea ought to be sharper on the back of his reappearance at Southwell last month and he shades second preference over Kakamora, who finished tailed-off last time.

AVIEWTOSEA did very well over fences last season, winning 3 of his 4 starts (including over C&D), and he can resume winning ways having shaped well on his comeback at Southwell. Dalkingstown should also prove better for his return so is feared most.

Three-time course winner DALKINGSTOWN earns the vote in the expectation that he will improve for last month's comeback run.

Johnny Blue

1.1/1(+0%)
(2) Johnny Blue 1.1/1, €70,000 Soldier of Fortune half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Mister Hotelier. Top stable operates at a 29% strike-rate in bumpers here. Likely to play a leading role.
70,000euros 3yo; half-brother to four winners; top stable operates at 24% in bumpers.

2nd (3) Thirtyfour Thirty (6.5/1 -44%)
Thirtyfour Thirty

6.5/1(-44%)
(3) Thirtyfour Thirty 6.5/1, Telescope gelding. Dam (h134) bumper/2½m-2¾m hurdle winner. Stable has a healthy 16-97 bumper record here over the years.
Out of a useful bumper winner and yard does well in these type of races at Worcester.
3
3rd (5) Military Mistress (4.5/1 +0%)
Military Mistress

4.5/1(+0%)
(5) Military Mistress 4.5/1, €21,000 Soldier of Fortune filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Monkshood and fairly useful chaser Lilith. Dam bumper/2m hurdle winner. The stable second string on jockey bookings but she could still play a part.
One of two for Henderson; plausible pedigree for a bumper; well worth a market check.
4
4th (6) The Masters Maiden (9/1 +59%)
The Masters Maiden

9/1(+59%)
(6) The Masters Maiden 9/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam (h106), maiden hurdler, sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 29f) Bellshill. Betting should guide to expectations.
Useful pedigree; stable 6-62 in bumpers in recent seasons.
5th
5th (1) Ropeman (25/1 +38%)
Ropeman

25/1(+38%)
(1) Ropeman 25/1, Hinted at ability on debut at Lingfield but well beaten at Huntingdon since. Likely outsider.
Well held twice; has an experience edge over younger rivals but still hard to recommend.
6th
6th (4) Hint Of Sage (4.5/1 -29%)
Hint Of Sage

4.5/1(-29%)
(4) Hint Of Sage 4.5/1, Sageburg filly. Sister to fair hurdler Exmoor Forest. Her very much in-form yard enjoys plenty of bumper success.
Out of an unraced half-sister to the smart Horner Woods; yard 4-11 in bumpers this season.
LTO Selection:

15:10 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JOHNNY BLUE, who cost 70,000 euro as a three-year-old, has a likable enough pedigree to suggest that Nicky Henderson has plenty to work with going forward. The gelding is a half-brother to Mister Hotelier, who won over both hurdles and fences in Ireland, and it would be no surprise to see him primed to make a successful racecourse debut. His stablemate, Military Mistress also warrants a betting check, while Thirtyfour Thirty has a solid jumping pedigree and is another notable debutant.

The suggestion is JOHNNY BLUE, the mount of Nico de Boinville of the Henderson pair. Hint of Sage and Thirtyfour Thirty might be the pair to give him most to do, although the betting will obviously provide more clues.

Fergal O'Brien's fine record in bumpers this season swings the pendulum in favour of HINT OF SAGE.

1st (1) Latino Fling (3/1 -100%)
Latino Fling

3/1(-100%)
(1) Latino Fling 3/1, Good strike rate over hurdles for this yard and capitalised on ease in weights when adding 6-runner mares' handicap to her tally at Aintree (20f) 15 days ago. 4 lb rise is fair so another bold bid is on the cards.
Regained the winning thread at Aintree two weeks ago; still favourably treated.

Walk Of No Shame

1.62/1(+46%)
(4) Walk Of No Shame 1.62/1, Scored at Lingfield in February and quickly back to form when third at Warwick last month. Headgear now fitted and not taken lightly.
Ran creditably last time; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.
3
3rd (3) Pure Theatre (3.5/1 -75%)
Pure Theatre

3.5/1(-75%)
(3) Pure Theatre 3.5/1, Taken well to hurdles, winning 2 of her 4 starts, including on handicap bow at Fontwell last month under this rider, making all and always holding on. Should go well again.
Scored under Jack Martin at Fontwell last month; looks the type to progress further.
4
4th (2) Nextdoortoalice (3.33/1 +61%)
Nextdoortoalice

3.33/1(+61%)
(2) Nextdoortoalice 3.33/1, Ran up to best when third on 21f Wincanton reappearance in November but disappointed at Fakenham on New Year's Day and faded into a well-held fifth when stepped up to 3m at Newbury following month. Drop back in trip should at least suit,
Goes well fresh and looks interesting off a reduced mark on return from break.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The Anthony Honeyball stable can do little wrong at present and PURE THEATRE must hold every chance if building on a determined win at Fontwell last time out. A 4lb rise could prove lenient and she can see off Latino Fling, who bounced back to form with a solid victory at Aintree last time out. Walk Of No Shame has the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

LATINO FLING took advantage of a further easing in the weights at Aintree 2 weeks ago and remains on a good mark up 4 lb. Pure Theatre was always holding on when making a winning handicap bow at Fontwell so is feared most.

There should be more to come from PURE THEATRE, who is first choice ahead of Nextdoortoalice.

Won handicap debut and 5lb rise fair for one open to further improvement..

Pillar Of Steel

Multiple winner in 2021 and just as good when pretty consistent in defeat last year..

Black Buble

Lacks a run and it's 2018 since he last ran over this sharp a trip..
LTO Selection:

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

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

A taking winner on his handicap debut at Huntingdon in April, there should be plenty more to come from PLAYTOGETAWAY off a mere 5lb higher mark. As long as he handles the better ground, the five-year-old should have too much for C&D winner Bannister and Pillar Of Steel, who has become well-handicapped and must be of interest on her first start for a new yard.

It was hardly a deep race that PLAYTOGETAWAY won at Huntingdon in April, but he was value for extra over the result and appeals as the type to go on improving for a while yet, so is difficult to oppose in his follow-up bid for all that Pillar of Steel and Bannister have fallen to good marks and go well at this track.

Playtogetaway won well on his handicap debut but PILLAR OF STEEL and Bannister - closely matched - are definite dangers.

Bare form of hurdle completions in 2021 offers hope but mixed on Flat these days.

Two 1m4f Flat wins 2021; respectable hurdle debut for new yard; the shorter trip can suit.

Well held in an ordinary bumper then remote last of 5 on hurdle debut 12 months ago (25-1).

Thereabouts in ordinary middle-distance AW events this year; low-key hurdle debut (40-1).
LTO Selection:

16:55 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Hidol Du Livet could put a better foot forward if he can settle better than he did on debut and the six-year-old could have learned a lot from that outing. However, the vote goes to RULER LEGEND, who is rated 88 on the Flat and makes his first start for the Jonjo O'Neill stable. The four-year-old is strongly fancied to strike as he embarks on his career in this sphere. Amalfi Bay completes the shortlist.

The market should reveal plenty here but AMALFI BAY is taken to build on his promising start for Anthony Honeyball and get off the mark in this sphere. Hurdling-newcomer Ruler Legend is feared most, especially if the betting vibes are positive after his absence, while Painless Potter has the form to play a major part if this switch to hurdling sparks a resurgence.

This can go to AMALFI BAY who had some fair form on the Flat and wasn't disgraced in a better race than this on his hurdle debut.

Unexposed under these conditions and, with cheekpieces turned to, he has to be of interest.

Third over 2m4f here recently but he was beaten 15l by a 50-1 winner..
LTO Selection:

17:25 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

THE GOONER was a respectable fourth at Wetherby in January and, with two subsequent winners coming out of that race since, the form looks strong. The son of Flemensfirth was leniently dropped 1lb for that display and he tries first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out improvement. The main danger might be Dicey Rielly, who returns to this sphere and could prove competitive off her current mark, while Tiger Orchid is also worth a second look.

Jonjo O'Neill's THE GOONER remains with potential and is taken to make light of his absence and build on an encouraging handicap debut fourth at Wetherby (form been franked) and add to his points success. Tiger Orchid should strip fitter for his recent Ludlow sixth after an absence and is next on the list, with Lelantos also worth considering for place purposes.

The suggestion is DICEY RIELLY who could have some improvement lurking at a new trip over hurdles.

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.
