14:10 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 -23%) Any News	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) Any News 2/1, Bumper/hurdles winner. Yet to get his head in front over fences but he got back in track when finding just one too good at Uttoxeter (20.9f, good) and backed that up when third at Bangor. Can put experience to good use. Not at best last time but a big player if judged on earlier Uttoxeter second.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.25/1 +32%) Polish	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(3) Polish 2.25/1, Little impact in 4 starts on the Flat for John Gallagher in 2022 but, having re-joined former yard, has shown plenty of ability remains when runner-up all 3 starts over hurdles. Makes chase debut. Second in all three hurdles this season; not bred for chasing but current mark is workable.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -23%) Jet Of Magic	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Jet Of Magic 2/1, Developed into a fairly useful handicap hurdler for Paul Nicholls and took it up a notch with a tongue tie added to cheekpieces when making a winning yard debut at Uttoxeter. Looked to have every chance of following up before departing in unfortunate circumstances there late on. Makes chase debut. Won over hurdles on stable debut in July and is an interesting recruit to chasing.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Butler's Brief	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(4) Butler's Brief 8.5/1, Decent strike rate over hurdles and back to form in first-time headgear when landing a 5-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (heavy). Not disgraced when third there next but was badly let down by jumping when previously tried in this sphere. Six-time winner over hurdles but both previous chasing attempts were unconvincing.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Polish has finished second on all three starts over hurdles since returning from close to a year off, and he can go well on his chasing debut, but he may find JET OF MAGIC has the edge. Sure to have been well schooled by Nigel Twiston-Davies, he would be the best of these over hurdles and he could have a promising career over the larger obstacles. Butler's Brief is also noted.

ANY NEWS has plenty of experience over fences and that should count for plenty here. Jet of Magic is rather unlucky not to be 2 from 2 for his current yard and is the obvious threat if taking to this sphere at the first attempt.

Seemingly aided by a tongue-tie on his two hurdling starts for Nigel Twiston-Davies, JET OF MAGIC might make a winning chase debut.

14:45 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +21%) Ya Know Yaseff	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Ya Know Yaseff 11/1, Having unseated on her first 2 starts over fences, wasn't disgraced under a forcing ride when fourth at Exeter (24.2f) in March. Ran no sort of race back over hurdles after 4 months off (had wind op) over C&D in July so hard to have much confidence after that. Blinkers on. Out of form and everything depends on what effect the new blinkers might have.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +0%) Saxon Queen	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(5) Saxon Queen 3.5/1, Unreliable individual but she scored at Newton Abbot in June and has backed it up with couple of solid runner-up efforts, going down by just a head back there (26.5f, good) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for her chasing debut and she's one to keep an eye on for an in-form yard. Bang there in all handicaps over hurdles; now goes chasing in new cheekpieces.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Justshortofabubble	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) Justshortofabubble 3.33/1, Finally got off the mark in 9-runner handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good to soft) last month and wasn't far off following up despite having been shoved back up the weights at this course (20f, good to soft) 12 days ago. In the mix again. Hard to knock his last three runs and solid claims despite his mark being on the increase.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +14%) Findusatgorcombe	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Findusatgorcombe 6/1, It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2020 and ran poorly when last seen at Hereford (25.2f, soft) 8 months ago. Starts out for new yard on potentially very lenient mark and market support would look significant. This veteran is well handicapped if new trainer can get him back on track.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -43%) Dreamsundermyfeet	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Dreamsundermyfeet 20/1, Dual chase winner in 2021/22 (including here) but proved rather frustrating last term, pulled up when last seen at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) 5 months ago. Has tumbled in the weights but arrives with enough to prove. Below par on his last couple of runs and this long a trip remains a concern.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (8/1 -45%) If I Say	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) If I Say 8/1, Off the mark in handicap hurdle here last September and back on track over fences when runner-up at this course (20f, good) last month, no match for a well-backed winner but beating the rest convincingly. Second to the right horse here last time but has her stamina to prove over this far.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (5.5/1 +39%) Cresswell Queen	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(2) Cresswell Queen 5.5/1, Stepped up on her reappearance over hurdles when getting back to winning ways in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in June. Has remained in form since, fourth without carrying much of a win threat at Stratford (27.5f, good) 10 days ago. Won over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good) in June and fair enough efforts in defeat since then.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (25/1 -127%) Joyful Kit	25 25/1(-127%)	(8) Joyful Kit 25/1, Sketchy jumper of hurdles but fared a bit better when third here on chasing debut. Went a long way to confirming that effort at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) just over a fortnight ago but remains opposable for win purposes. When third last time they went a modest pace and fences were omitted.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (25/1 -56%) Tom O'Roughley	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Tom O'Roughley 25/1, C&D winner last September and made a winning return at Warwick in May. However, he proved very easy to back and ran as if amiss when pulled up at this track (20f, good) a couple of months ago so will need to leave that effort well behind. C&D winner who goes well fresh, so not dismissed after two months away.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Dreamsundermyfeet is having his first start since April which may be an issue, but he likes good ground given all four career wins have come on a similar surface. He could go well, but SAXON QUEEN might have the edge for the trainer/jockey combination who won this last year. She is making her chasing debut after being beaten a head over hurdles at Newton Abbot, and first-time cheekpieces may work the oracle. If I Say and Justshortofabubble are others to consider.

Several of these arrive with a bit to prove including FINDUSATGORCOMBE, who hasn't been seen for 8 months but starts out for Robert Walford on potentially very lenient mark. He gets the tentative nod ahead of Justshortofabubble, who has struck up a fine partnership with this rider and is expected to be bang there once again. The Peter/Sean Bowen combination landed this event 12 months ago and Saxon Queen is one to look out for making her chasing debut.

15:20 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 -48%) Newmill Getaway	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(5) Newmill Getaway 3.33/1, Fourth sole start in Irish points May and displayed ability when third on Rules debut at Uttoxeter in July, sticking to her task. That sets the standard. Had a previous winner behind when third at Uttoxeter; obvious claims.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.57/1 +29%) Drumlee Spud	0.57 0.57/1(+29%)	(4) Drumlee Spud 0.57/1, €3,000 3-y-o, £45,000 5-y-o: third foal: half-sister to Monbeg Stream (3m-3¼m jumps winner in USA, by Libertarian). Dam pulled up sole start in points. Successful in an Irish point on debut in March and makes Rules debut at an ordinary level. One of the favourites when a rallying winner of her only point in Ireland; bought £45,000.
3	3 3rd (3) (40/1 -21%) Roczen	40 40/1(-21%)	(3) Roczen 40/1, Geordieland gelding. Half-brother to a point winner. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Hot Port. Hooded on debut and showed nothing at Newton Abbot in July. Always behind and tailed off when 25-1 at Newton Abbot a month ago (good).
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Thinking Thyme	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(1) Thinking Thyme 6.5/1, Native Ruler gelding. Dam ran twice in bumpers. Represents successful yard and market may guide. Stable has a modest record in bumpers and more than likely best watched.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -13%) My Kent	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) My Kent 18/1, Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Ellens Way and fairly useful hurdler Mcgowan's Pass, stays 2½m. Nice enough pedigree but stable is 0-7 in bumpers recent seasons.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner DRUMLEE SPUD, who is a half-sister to a Listed jumps winner in the US, is the most appealing of this select bunch and, having set connections back 45,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sales in April, she is presented with a good opportunity to shine on her Rules debut. Newmill Getaway is entitled to build on her respectable bumper effort at Uttoxeter in July, while any support in the betting for Thinking Thyme would be noteworthy.

DRUMLEE SPUD won her sole start in Irish points during the spring and, having transferred to a successful stable, she may well follow up switched to Rules. Newmill Getaway shaped like a stayer starting out at Uttoxeter but can still make her presence felt.

15:55 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.67/1 +8%) Olivers Travels	0.67 0.67/1(+8%)	(3) Olivers Travels 0.67/1, Runner-up in an Irish point before landing bumpers at Worcester and Newton Abbot this summer. Failed to land the odds on his hurdles debut but shaped enouragingly when third of 10 in novice at Perth (16.2f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and leading form claims. Promising start under rules and this longer trip is likely to serve him well.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 +45%) Fulgurant	22 22/1(+45%)	(1) Fulgurant 22/1, Placed on completed start in points but well held in a bumper and two hurdle events for new yard in 2023. Needs to step forward. No closer than 24l in three runs under rules, a bumper and two 2m4f hurdles.
3	5 3rd (5) (2/1 +11%) Sforza Castle	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Sforza Castle 2/1, Fair maiden hurdler who posted a good second of 10 in novice over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Must enter calculations. Similar form the last twice, the latest when 2nd over C&D; now goes in cheekpieces.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +6%) Ismael	8 8/1(+6%)	(2) Ismael 8/1, Easy winner sole start in Irish points in January. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when third of 4 in novice at Aintree (20f, good) on hurdles bow 107 days ago. Needs considering. Irish point winner but it's been an underwhelming start under rules.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (50/1 -25%) Stop This Train	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Stop This Train 50/1, 11/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, good) on NH debut 6 months ago. Since had a wind op and lots more is needed with hood/tongue strap applied. Had wind surgery since reportedly making a noise when pulled up in a 2m3f maiden hurdle.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

SFORZA CASTLE bumped into a progressive type when he was an eye-catching second over C&D last month and, given that was easily his best effort so far, there could be more to come from Ben Pauling's gelding. The fitting of cheekpieces may give him some added focus and a breakthrough success looks likely. Olivers Travels and Ismael both stayed 3m in point-to-points and appeal most of the remainder.

OLIVERS TRAVELS couldn't land the odds on his first go in this sphere when a recent third at Perth but still showed more than enough to suggest he can build on it and add to his two bumper wins. Sforza Castle and Ismael both have some fair form to their names too and can chase home Peter Bowen's 5yo in that order.

15:55 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:30 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 -25%) Ma Belle Noire	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Ma Belle Noire 5/1, Consistent sort who opened her account in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (20.6f) in July. Posted another good effort in the headgear when third of 8 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good) 40 days ago so she merits consideration. Consistent mare who won a maiden in July and has another significant role to play here.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 +45%) Rubys Reward	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(6) Rubys Reward 2.75/1, C&D winner in July who has continued in good nick, seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Ready C&D winner in July and did well to finish second here last month (hampered).
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -20%) Dynamic Kate	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Dynamic Kate 4/1, Returned to her best following a breathing operation when cosily winning 12-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 33 days ago by 2½ lengths from Rubys Reward. Up 4 lb but another bold showing is on the cards at these weights. Back in form with C&D win last month; can make presence felt from off the pace again.
4	9 4th (9) (10/1 +44%) Milanese Rose	10 10/1(+44%)	(9) Milanese Rose 10/1, Poor maiden who ran creditably when second in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f) in June. Pulled up at Southwell since though so she needs to get back on track. Largely consistent over hurdles but didn't fire last time and is now 0-14.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/1 +67%) Trickalight	11 11/1(+67%)	(10) Trickalight 11/1, Irish point winner but she remains with little form over hurdles. Likely to struggle again. Placed in C&D maiden in 2021 but has not shown a great deal since.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -144%) Miladygrace	22 22/1(-144%)	(5) Miladygrace 22/1, Made a positive start over fences last season but hasn't kicked on so far this term, only fourth at Stratford last time. Cheekpieces go on for the 1st time back in this sphere. Others make more appeal. Below best over fences lately; back hurdling for first time since 2020; cheekpieces tried.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -38%) Tre A Peni	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) Tre A Peni 11/1, Hard to rely on but she arrives on the back of a very good third of 12 to Dynamic Kate in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 33 days ago. Others remain more persuasive however. 0-14 over hurdles but ran well when third from out of the weights over C&D last month.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -340%) Betty's Belle	33 33/1(-340%)	(3) Betty's Belle 33/1, Fair bumper winner who arrives in good nick in this sphere, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 47 days ago on his final run for Ben Pauling. Not ruled out for her new yard. Second twice for Ben Pauling in July/July; sold for £6,000 after a lesser effort.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 +36%) Toughasoldboots	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Toughasoldboots 16/1, Doubled her tally returned to hurdling at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March but has failed to reproduce that form in 4 outings since, fitted with a first-time hood at Bangor last time. Hard to make a case for. 3lb below last winning mark but out of form this season and not proven over this far.
10th	8 10th (8) (12/1 -71%) Oneway Express	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Oneway Express 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first form when third of 10 in handicap at Bangor (23f, good) 30 days ago. Needs to build on it with headgear retained. Looked suited by step up to 2m7f when placed on handicap debut; might do better again.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (12/1 +64%) Orange Gina	12 12/1(+64%)	(11) Orange Gina 12/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but she has offered little in her three completed starts over hurdles. Not beaten far over 2m4f here on handicap debut but improvement needed over new trip.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A wind operation in June appeared to work it's magic for DYNAMIC KATE when Neil Mulholland's mare scored with something in hand over C&D at the start of last month. A 4lb rise for that success looks lenient and a double could be on the horizon. Ma Belle Noire has been running with credit in maiden/novice company of late and is expected to remain competitive on the switch to handicaps. The six-year-old is feared most ahead of the unexposed Oneway Express.

DYNAMIC KATE showed the benefit of a wind op when going in over C&D last month and a 4 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Ma Belle Noire is a reliable sort and appeals as the one to give Neil Mulholland's resurgent mare most to do now back in handicap company ahead of C&D winner Ruby's Reward.

17:05 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/1 -13%) Pinnacle Peak	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Pinnacle Peak 9/1, Much improved when the cheekpieces went on in 2021, completing a hat-trick in handicap hurdles (including success here over 23f). After 18 months off, struggled in 2 starts over fences, but fared better back hurdling when third at Southwell (20.4f) when last seen in March. Placed off today's mark when last in action, but that was back in March.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 +0%) Secret Trix	1.75 1.75/1(+0%)	(2) Secret Trix 1.75/1, Has thrived with cheekpieces applied this season, recording back-to-back wins at Southwell (24.3f) before completing his hat-trick with something in hand at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in July. Can go on to score again in his current form. Back from break with three consecutive wins in cheekpieces this season; major player.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.5/1 +8%) Call Me Tara	1.5 1.5/1(+8%)	(3) Call Me Tara 1.5/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts in maiden/novice company last summer and ran creditably after 7 months off when third at Ludlow in April. Let down by her jumping tried over fences next time, but bounced back with success in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in July. Respected. Left clear for wide-margin win in July and now 3-5 over hurdles; likely contender.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 +36%) Appreciate	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(4) Appreciate 4.5/1, Completed a 4-timer with victory at this C&D last summer and added to his tally at Cartmel (17.2f) in May, Made the frame on his next 2 outings (including on the Flat in July) and shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 14 at Market Rasen (20.6f) last time. Six-time hurdle winner; very respectable fifth in competitive race last time; in the mix.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (14/1 -87%) San Giovanni	14 14/1(-87%)	(1) San Giovanni 14/1, Won his first 2 starts last summer, including maiden at this C&D. However, found it tougher when well held on handicap debut here in September and, after 10 months off (had a wind op), fared no better at Newton Abbot in July. Needs to get back on track with tongue strap applied. Dual novice winner; well beaten in both handicaps but may yet get back on track.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Secret Trix has proved a revelation since being fitted with cheekpieces in May and can't be taken lightly in his quest to land a four-timer off 6lb higher in the ratings. However, CALL ME TARA is only 1lb higher than her first success of the season at Uttoxeter in July and may have more to come over 2m4f given how much kinder she travelled that day. Appreciate completes the shortlist.

SECRET TRIX has shown much improved form since fitted with cheekpieces, maintaining his unbeaten run this season with a comfortable success at Uttoxeter in July, and he can continue his progress to add to his tally. Call Me Tara resumed winning ways back over hurdles last time and looks the main danger, with Appreciate the pick of the remainder.

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.
