Worth a precautionary betting check. Bought for £5,000 in May having launched career with two underwhelming Irish point runs.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -256%) Presenting Milan		8 8/1(-256%)																															(4) Presenting Milan 8/1, Bred for stamina and strong at the finish when second of 5 on his Stratford debut 3 weeks ago. Finished well for second on debut at Stratford and is likely to play another big role.

Dam French 2¼m chase winner. Yard get the odd bumper winner so worth a second look in the betting. Half-brother to useful jumper Cultram Abbey; stable has the odd bumper winner.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/8 +35%) Snitterfield		1.625 13/8(+35%)																															(6) Snitterfield 13/8, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Butch and fairly useful chaser Hauraki Gulf, stays 3¼m. Noteworthy newcomer for trainer with a good bumper strike-rate.

15:00 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a trappy affair, it may pay to take a leap of faith with the unraced SNITTERFIELD. Olly Muprhy has his string in fine form at present, and this gelded son of Diamond Boy, who is also a half-brother to the stable's smart hurdler Butch, can land the spoils at the first time of asking. Presenting Milan bumped into an in-form rival when finishing a gallant second on his debut in a Stratford bumper recently, and he must be of interest in a bid to go one place better. Third on his debut over an extended 2m at Bangor, Romeo Foxtrot is respected most out of the remainder.

Olly Murphy has a 20% success rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons so the suggestion is his newcomer SNITTERFIELD, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Presenting Milan has to be respected after his Stratford second, while Fergal O'Brien's Brave Move was prominent in the betting when down the field on his debut last November and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him leave that run well behind.

Newcomer SNITTERFIELD is a half-brother to useful hurdler Butch and is taken to enhance Olly Murphy's very good record in bumpers.

Failed to build on it when only fifth back over C&D 15 days ago but is worth another chance. Irish point winner; second over C&D on hurdle debut; latest run was a backward step.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 +14%) Buxted Reel		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Buxted Reel 12/1, Fair winner at 12f on Flat for Ian Williams. Well held sole hurdles run but arrives fit from the Flat so worth another chance. Fair Flat racer; well beaten on hurdling debut but can do better on this faster ground.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -40%) Washpool		14 14/1(-40%)																															(7) Washpool 14/1, Runner-up sole start in points and hinted a t promise when sixth of 9 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm, 9/2) on NH debut 71 days ago. Not ruled out on his hurdles bow. Safely held on bumper debut but his point form gives him each-way claims.
6th	12 6th (12) (50/1 -100%) Lady Henrietta		50 50/1(-100%)																															(12) Lady Henrietta 50/1, Fair form shown in bumpers but only ninth of 14 in novice (14/1) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Hooded for 1st time now. Tailed off when switched to hurdles last month; others look stronger.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -203%) Eagle Court		200 200/1(-203%)																															(3) Eagle Court 200/1, Fair at best on the level but only ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) on NH debut 15 days ago.

8th	6 8th (6) (200/1 -100%) Miami Jim		200 200/1(-100%)																															(6) Miami Jim 200/1, Failed to complete in a couple of points and has offered little promise in a pair of Warwick maiden hurdles this May. Needs a big step forward. Showed nothing more than minor promise in two maiden hurdles this spring.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 -100%) Nila		22 22/1(-100%)																															(10) Nila 22/1, Fair Flat winner. First run since leaving Peter Schiergen when fell 1st in novice hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 8 months but not discounted with tongue strap on for 1st time. French Flat winner in 2022; early faller on hurdle debut in December; not seen since.
10th	9 10th (9) (8/1 +50%) Soldier's Leap		8 8/1(+50%)																															(9) Soldier's Leap 8/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Hombre de Guerra, and half-brother to modest hurdler Beat The Retreat, stays 2½m, and a point winner. Runner-up in a point so he's a respected newcomer. Lost out only by a neck on pointing debut in May; makes rules debut.
11	11 |PU| (11) (100/1 -150%) Now Then Wendy		100 100/1(-150%)																															(11) Now Then Wendy 100/1, A fair 1m4f Flat winner for Hughie Morrison.

15:30 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having found only unbeaten hurdler Feud too strong on his hurdles bow at Listowel in June, HANDLETHEKETTLE is likely to prove a warm order on his stable debut for Jamie Snowden. A similar performance is likely to prove good enough in these calmer waters and a first career victory looks imminent for the son of Youmzain. Although 3m point winner Manowest failed to build on his promising second over C&D in July when only fifth at the same venue earlier this month, he's still feared most, ahead of Soldier's Leap.

HANDLETHEKETTLE made a promising start for Paul Cashman when runner-up at Listowel and is fancied to go one better now starting out with Jamie Snowden. Olly Murphy's Manowest could emerge as the main danger, with hurdling newcomer Ballytechno not discounted either on his first start for James Owen.

Jamie Snowden's new recruit HANDLETHEKETTLE was second to a useful rival in a big field on his hurdling debut and is the one to beat.

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +17%) Light Dragoon		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(4) Light Dragoon 10/3, Failed to justify support when down the field in a bumper (6/1) at Chepstow on debut but showed a bit more when third in a C&D novice 8 months later. Could improve on that. Well beaten on bumper debut but fared much better when placed in C&D hurdle in July.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/2 +61%) Definite Dream		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(10) Definite Dream 11/2, Maiden pointer but displayed some ability when hitting the frame in a brace of 20f novice events here during the summer. Safely held when making frame on both hurdle starts but may collect another minor prize.
3	3 3rd (3) (100/1 -400%) Highly Recommended		100 100/1(-400%)																															(3) Highly Recommended 100/1, Highland Reel gelding.

5th	9 5th (9) (10/3 -67%) Trust House		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(9) Trust House 10/3, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Mr Smith. Fairly useful form on Flat, stays 1½m, improved when won handicap final start in 2023. Sold from Ralph Beckett 58,000 gns and he's a very interesting contender. Bought for 58,000gns after winning 1m4f Flat novice last September; hurdle debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 -17%) Gordon Grey		7 7/1(-17%)																															(7) Gordon Grey 7/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f), won at Pontefract and Epsom this year, below form last time. Possesses the raw ability to be a factor if taking to hurdling. Fair front-runner on the Flat; ought to be competitive at this level over hurdles.
7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 -100%) Saint Vic		80 80/1(-100%)																															(5) Saint Vic 80/1, Not really threatened in a handful of starts in this sphere, including from a modest mark on handicap debut last time. Well down the field in low-grade handicap here this month; tough task on these terms.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -142%) Dreams Fled Away		80 80/1(-142%)																															(2) Dreams Fled Away 80/1, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Master Jake. Fair handicapper at best on Flat, stays 12.5f, winning twice on the AW in early 2023. Below form for current yard and little short-term promise on hurdles debut minus usual headgear. Made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held sixth over C&D.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -52%) Sox's Sun		100 100/1(-52%)																															(6) Sox's Sun 100/1, Well held in a C&D contest in July. Tailed off when 250-1 for debut here in July; can't be recommended.
1	1 |F| (1) (13/8 +7%) Disco Davis		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(1) Disco Davis 13/8, Point winner who built on debut promise 12 weeks on when third of 16 in bumper at Ludlow in May. Fortnight turnaround may have been too quick given he was disappointing at Kelso but he's sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut having had a breathing op. Irish point winner; showed promise in all three bumpers; should make a hurdler.

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

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

TRUST HOUSE was heading in the right direction when capping off his three-year-old campaign on the Flat with a breakthrough victory at Ripon. Returning from a 352-day layoff, the four-year-old makes his hurdles/stable bow for the Olly Murphy team and he could take all the beating if taking to this discipline. Light Dragoon sets the standard of those with hurdling experience and a reproduction of his C&D third in July is likely to see him in the mix, along with Definite Dream.

TRUST HOUSE progressed nicely as a 3-y-o on the level for Ralph Beckett and having transferred to another successful stable ahead of this hurdles debut, he could well be the answer. Disco Davis is sure to know his job switching from bumpers and is a threat, with Light Dragoon the pick of those with experience over obstacles.

Flat winner Trust House might be dangerous but DISCO DAVIS is selected to deliver on the promise he showed in bumpers.

1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +50%) Fashionelle		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(6) Fashionelle 11/2, Made a positive start in handicaps, making the frame twice at Stratford in July. Posted another creditable effort when sixth of 12 upped to this trip over C&D (good) last time and, like stablemate Faha Belle, she could have a part to play. Placed in two Stratford handicaps in July and wasn't beaten far over C&D last month.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/4 +0%) State Of Honor		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(10) State Of Honor 11/4, Built on reappearance effort when a good second of 13 at Uttoxeter in June. Went one better with a pretty decisive display at Fontwell (21.8f, good) back from a break 8 days ago and, unpenalised for that, she's a big player. Escapes a penalty for recent Fontwell win and needs to be taken very seriously.
3	12 3rd (12) (16/1 0%) Dana's Gem		16 16/1(0%)																															(12) Dana's Gem 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to make much of an impact in 5 hurdles starts for Jonjo O'Neill. Interesting to see what new yard (also represented here by Faha Belle and Fashionelle) can do with her but she's entitled to need the run following 15 months off. Safely held in two handicaps for Jonjo O'Neill in the spring; now with new stable.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 -33%) Jo's Rainbow		4 4/1(-33%)																															(7) Jo's Rainbow 4/1, Fair 10f winner on Flat for Karl Burke and appears to be gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles, putting in good late work to finish fourth of 15 on handicap debut in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, good). Improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test in a first-time tongue strap. Kept on well for fourth of 15 on handicap debut; up in trip today; still has potential.
5th	9 5th (9) (66/1 -100%) Cornamona		66 66/1(-100%)																															(9) Cornamona 66/1, Remote third sole outing in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and this former point winner has failed to pull up any trees in a 3 starts over hurdles to date. Needs to raise her game now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Did not show much in her qualifying races but may yet deliver on Irish point promise.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 +10%) Faha Belle		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Faha Belle 9/2, Irish point winner who is 0-10 under Rules but she will surely put that right before long judged on her last 3 efforts, finding just one too good on each occasion, including here (23f, good) on latest appearance in July. Likely to be on the premises once again. Runner-up all three hurdling starts this season and ought to give another good account.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 +0%) Quick Of The Night		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Quick Of The Night 10/1, Off the mark when narrowly taking a 12-runner handicap here (2m, good) in July and followed that with a creditable third off this mark at Uttoxeter. Shapes as though worth another try at this trip and she's one of several with a decent each-way chance. Placed off this mark since 2m course win in July; unexposed over 2m4f; respected.
8th	1 8th (1) (14/1 -87%) Bolintlea		14 14/1(-87%)																															(1) Bolintlea 14/1, Opened account in a handicap chase at Fakenham on New Year's Day 2023. Placed on 3 of her 4 previous hurdles starts and not without each-way hope on handicap debut in this sphere. Well beaten in a chase last month but was placed here in July and is on a good hurdle mark.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 +29%) Night Fever		10 10/1(+29%)																															(11) Night Fever 10/1, One-time fairly useful performer on the level when trained in Germany but just modest form so far over hurdles. Still, she should at least come on for her recent reappearance sixth at Stratford (first run for 16 months) and wouldn't be without an each-way chance if so. 0-7 over hurdles but returned from long absence with quite encouraging run last month.
3	3 |PU| (3) (20/1 -100%) Principessa		20 20/1(-100%)																															(3) Principessa 20/1, Modest maiden on the Flat but has taken well to this game, showing promise when fourth of 12 in a Uttoxeter novice on hurdles debut in July before landing a 9-runner mares' maiden here (2m, good) the following month. More needed now upped in trip for this handicap bow. 2m maiden winner here last month; up in trip for handicap debut; can improve again.
5	5 |PU| (5) (28/1 -40%) African Lady		28 28/1(-40%)																															(5) African Lady 28/1, Showed ability in maiden hurdles for Gavin Cromwell earlier this year but she failed to make an impact on stable/handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over this C&D last month. Weakened into eighth over C&D on last month's stable/handicap debut.

16:30 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f  Race Class Flow

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

PRINCIPESSA drew clear of her nearest rival in the closing stages over 2m here on only her second start over timber. This extra distance should be within her compass on that evidence and John Butler's progressive filly may prove well treated on her handicap debut. Faha Belle finished second once again on her latest outing and will likely have a say in proceedings, while Quick Of The Night scored over 2m at the course in July and looks worth another try over this longer trip.

Several of these are appealing from an each-way perspective but JO'S RAINBOW and State of Honor stand out when it comes to potential winner material. The latter escapes a penalty for her recent Fontwell success and is the one to beat on that evidence. However, Jo's Rainbow caught the eye on her handicap debut at Stratford and, with this step up in trip likely to help unlock further improvement, she looks the way to go. Faha Belle and Night Fever can do battle for minor honours.

After keeping on too strongly for a well-backed runner-up last week, STATE OF HONOR can follow up off the same mark.

1	4 1st (4) (11/1 +21%) Lihyan		11 11/1(+21%)																															(4) Lihyan 11/1, Off the mark for this yard at Musselburgh last December and hasn't disgraced himself in handicaps at Uttoxeter and Perth the last twice. Place possibilities. In-form 6yo; can be dangerous if this race is set up to suit his usual patient tactics.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -80%) Planet Legend		9 9/1(-80%)																															(6) Planet Legend 9/1, Dual hurdles winner during 2022/23 campaign and twice placed in handicaps during the spring, latterly finishing third of 7 at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft). This slight drop back in trip and forecast quicker ground are positive factors and he's one to consider. Twice made the frame when upped to staying trips in the spring; returns from a break.
3	14 3rd (14) (4/1 +33%) School Days Over		4 4/1(+33%)																															(14) School Days Over 4/1, Opened chase account off a 4 lb higher mark than this at Hereford (21f, good) last November. Placed all 3 starts since returned to hurdles, including over C&D last time, and he's a strong candidate. Sound effort when placed over C&D last month; 1lb lower now; one to consider.
4	12 4th (12) (11/2 +8%) My Gift To You		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(12) My Gift To You 11/2, Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring for fifth time overall when taking a Catterick handicap chase in March and has backed that up with solid placed efforts on 5 of his next 6 starts (all over fences). Will need a career-best if he's to defy this mark back hurdling, though. Back hurdling after making the frame in five of last six chases; probably in the mix again.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 -29%) Charles St		9 9/1(-29%)																															(10) Charles St 9/1, Unreliable type overall but just 2 lb above the mark off which he hit the target at Market Rasen last November. Creditable placed efforts last 3 starts in this sphere and it will be no surprise at all to see him involved in the finish. Yard also represented by School Days Over. Comes here after a good effort but is a tricky horse to win with; others preferred.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -220%) Isthebaropen		80 80/1(-220%)																															(5) Isthebaropen 80/1, Dual winner in summer 2022 but she didn't show much at Bangor when returning from a year off 10 days ago. Five-time hurdle winner; returned from layoff with poor run this month; others look safer.
7th	13 7th (13) (22/1 +12%) Art Approval		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Art Approval 22/1, Losing run stretches back nearly 3 years and while he was placed twice for Ralph Smith this summer, his recent C&D debut for this yard wasn't particularly encouraging. Placed twice this summer (once over C&D) but recent stable debut was underwhelming.
8th	11 8th (11) (5/1 +50%) Earth King		5 5/1(+50%)																															(11) Earth King 5/1, Went the wrong way over fences last season but his mark tumbled as a result and he capitalised returned to timber (also fitted with cheekpieces) when winning 5-runner handicap at Fontwell in May. Creditable fifth of 13 at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) last time and he's an each-way player. Boosted by cheekpieces in May/June, most notably when clearcut winner at Fontwell.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 -257%) Taste The Fear		25 25/1(-257%)																															(3) Taste The Fear 25/1, Winner of back-to-back handicap chases at Southwell (both over 24.3f) during the spring. Fell 5 out when bidding for the hat-trick over the same C&D on latest start in June and could have a part to play if he puts his best foot forward now returned to this sphere. Yard also saddles Planet Legend. Dual chase winner in the spring; back from break today; first hurdle run since summer 2022.
2	2 |U| (2) (17/2 -70%) Sea The Clouds		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(2) Sea The Clouds 17/2, Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles here and at Warwick last summer, and regained the winning thread with cheekpieces applied (retained) at Cartmel (2¾m, good to firm). 3 lb rise fair enough and this 7-y-o should give another good account. Held on gamely to collect a good prize at Cartmel in July; even more needed here, though.
10th	8 10th (8) (10/1 +17%) Juan Bermudez		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Juan Bermudez 10/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding and landed a brace of 18.7f novice events at Stratford in June. However, has come up short switched to handicaps the last twice (reportedly suffered with a breathing problem when pulled up in the Cartmel race won by Sea The Clouds). Pulled up with breathing problem last time; contender if back on song.
9	9 |PU| (9) (16/1 +36%) Breaking Waves		16 16/1(+36%)																															(9) Breaking Waves 16/1, Untrustworthy individual who has followed his Uttoxeter victory in June with a couple of lesser efforts. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Surprise winner in June but two lesser efforts have followed; hard to predict.
1	1 |PU| (1) (20/1 -25%) Fix At All		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Fix At All 20/1, Landed brace of hunters for Michael Scudamore in 2023 and built on a promising return to action when bagging a 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good) in May. However, no show next 2 starts and hard to know what to expect of him now returned to this sphere (well held latest hurdles start). Much better known as a chaser; tricky to weigh up on only second British hurdle start.
7	7 |PU| (7) (22/1 -83%) Mr Tambourine Man		22 22/1(-83%)																															(7) Mr Tambourine Man 22/1, Endured woeful 2023/24 campaign and though back on track with a quickfire double over C&D and at Uttoxeter in June, he was safely held when bidding for the hat-trick at Newton Abbot later that month. Poor on the Flat recently, too, and he's opposable. Dual hurdle winner in the spring but looked very unenthusiastic on the Flat last month.

17:00 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Cheekpieces were added to SEA THE CLOUDS' usual tongue-tie at Cartmel and he duly resumed winning ways. He's been raised 3lb, but drops in class for this and there could be more to come in the new headgear. Taste The Fear was still going well when falling five fences from home at Southwell and has a chance racing off the same mark reverting to the smaller obstacles, while Charles St and Planet Legend are others worthy of a second glance.

SCHOOL DAYS OVER shaped as though he's ready to strike when third over this C&D last time and, in the hope that he gets a strong pace to aim at, the 7-y-o could be the answer. Planet Legend will be a live danger if fully tuned-up following a break of almost four months, while Lihyan is third choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Charles St and Earth King.

Preference is for EARTH KING who has responded positively to the addition of cheekpieces this season and is still on a good mark.

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.
