14:15 Worcester Maiden Chase (Class 3) 23f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +29%) Broadway Boy	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(1) Broadway Boy 5/4, Rangy sort who proved progressive over hurdles last term, career best display when gaining his third success from 7 starts at Cheltenham (3m) in April. Looks every inch the type to do better again now tackling larger obstacles and he's very much of interest. Ended last season with Class 2 handicap hurdle win at Cheltenham; chase debut today.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/10 +27%) Mofasa	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(4) Mofasa 11/10, Tall gelding who impressed when winning first 2 starts over hurdles last autumn. Good third in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January before finishing well held in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree in the spring. However, he's a chaser on looks and has to command respect returning for powerful new stable. Very useful novice hurdler for Michael Scudamore last season; good chasing prospect.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -67%) Coconut Splash	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Coconut Splash 10/1, Maiden hurdle winner who displayed useful form at best without getting his head in front in 11 attempts over fences, proving a disappointment when pulled up at Uttoxeter (3m) in May. Better showing certainly not ruled out returning from 146 days off. Has often shown useful form in defeat over fences but may need some rain.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 +0%) Aimee De Sivola	40 40/1(+0%)	(5) Aimee De Sivola 40/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner who showed promise initially over fences earlier in career. However, mixed bag over hurdles earlier this year and plenty on her plate on these terms returning to larger obstacles. Quite useful in her prime but didn't fire last season and is not favoured by these weights.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -83%) Grand Roi	11 11/1(-83%)	(3) Grand Roi 11/1, Useful hurdler but yet to match that form in handful of chase tries, including when third of 4 in a novices' handicap here 11 days ago having joined present yard for £22,000. Blinkers go back on but he needs to leave that well behind to figure. Smart Irish hurdler in his prime but well beaten in handicap chase on recent stable debut.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Worcester Maiden Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

MOFASA was highly tried as a novice hurdler last season and finished third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January. The seven-year-old now makes his debut for Paul Nicholls and he could prove hard to beat on his chasing bow. Broadway Boy has to be respected given how well he ended his last campaign, while Coconut Splash is the pick of the remainder.

A progressive 3-time winner in his first season over hurdles, BROADWAY BOY looks every inch a useful prospect for this switch to chasing and he could be the way to go on return without the benefit of market clues. Similar comments apply to Mofasa starting out over larger obstacles for his powerful new yard and he could be next best, ahead of Coconut Splash.

A very promising novice hurdler for Michael Scudamore last season, MOFASA is taken to make winning debut for Paul Nicholls.

14:50 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +22%) Dr T J Eckleburg	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Dr T J Eckleburg 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but yet to match that form over fences for his new yard, third of 4 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) 38 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Latest run was probably a step back in the right direction but others have less to prove.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +0%) Chestnut Pete	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Chestnut Pete 6/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when second of four at Ludlow in May. Similar form when runner-up twice over fences in the spring so he can't be discounted after a lay-off. 0-17 under all codes but was second in two chases and a novice hurdle in the spring.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/10 +63%) Mutual Respect	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(9) Mutual Respect 11/10, Belatedly shed his maiden tag at Uttoxeter (2m) in July and followed it with a good second of six over C&D 17 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Followed his small-field win with good second behind revitalised opponent here this month.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 +59%) Vinnie The Hoddie	9 9/1(+59%)	(3) Vinnie The Hoddie 9/1, Error-prone sort who won at Newton Abbot (2m) in March 2022. Stopped the slide back from 9 months off when third at Worcester in July but well below par both runs since, including after a wind op here last time. Others appeal more. Ran well over C&D in July, after a layoff, but two poor performance have followed.
5th	8 5th (8) (5/1 +55%) Herecomeshogan	5 5/1(+55%)	(8) Herecomeshogan 5/1, Dual hurdles winner at 18.5f last year but not been in same form since and ran poorly on the back of a wind op at Uttoxeter 30 days ago. Has lots to prove back over fences. Dual hurdle winner in 2022 but fell on chase debut in May and pulled up over hurdles since.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +0%) Mix Of Clover	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Mix Of Clover 10/1, Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when close third at Stratford (17f) but below-par fifth back up in trip here 17 days ago. Not discounted reverted in distance. Ran well in first-time cheekpieces last month but well beaten here since; too unreliable.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CHESS PLAYER was a very impressive winner over an extended 2m3f at Stratford a month ago and a 7lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old from going in again. Chestnut Pete has filled second place on his last couple of starts and could do so once again, while course second Mutual Respect completes the shortlist.

C&D scorer CHESS PLAYER looks the way to go on the back of his emphatic Stratford success despite having a career-high mark to overcome now. Mutual Respect also arrives in excellent nick and should ensure Ben Pauling's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Chestnut Pete is another who needs factoring in.

Chess Player produced a career-best performance last month but MUTUAL RESPECT also arrives in good form and is narrowly preferred.

14:50 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:25 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (10/1 +0%) Push The Button	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Push The Button 10/1, Displayed a likeable attitude to get off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers at Bangor (16.7f, good to firm) in April and is bred to be suited by this longer trip now hurdling. Signed off with Bangor bumper win in April; needs to improve here but has potential.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/4 +20%) Mylesfromwicklow	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(6) Mylesfromwicklow 6/4, Won his sole outing in points in October and showed fairly useful form over hurdles when runner-up first 2 outings last season. Not quite at that level when filling same spot at Ascot on final outing but still sets a good standard for a yard that has started autumn in fine form. Runner-up all three hurdling starts last season and has another significant role to play.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -60%) Carrigmoorna Rowan	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Carrigmoorna Rowan 16/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and made a pleasing start under Rules when third in an Exeter bumper in November. Proved a shade disappointing in a hood at Plumpton next time, however. Makes hurdles debut. Winning pointer; placed in a bumper last season; should make his mark in novices hurdles.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +50%) Harjo	6 6/1(+50%)	(4) Harjo 6/1, Irish point winner who made promising hurdling debut when second at Carlisle last autumn. Ran to a similar level when third at Uttoxeter next time but folded tamely last 2 starts, so reappears with something to prove. Not much went to plan after last year's promising hurdle debut; may yet get back on track.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 -118%) Beachcomber	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) Beachcomber 12/1, Left debut form well behind when running out an easy winner of a Chepstow bumper in February, drawing clear final 1f. Out of his depth when tailed off in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but should still have a future over hurdles. Won Chepstow bumper by 16l in February; makes hurdling debut today; interesting.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/4 +36%) Flying Fortune	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(9) Flying Fortune 7/4, Made it 2 wins from 4 starts in bumpers in impressive fashion at Haydock (15.6f, firm) in May. Of interest now going hurdling. Comfortably won Haydock bumper by 7l in May and the form has worked out well.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -450%) Classic Lord	66 66/1(-450%)	(3) Classic Lord 66/1, Useful on Flat and improved on hurdling debut form when fourth in a maiden at Naas in February. Not in same form at Fairyhouse on final outing and subsequently sold out of Henry de Bromhead's yard for £29,000. Creditable fourth in strong Naas maiden for Henry de Bromhead in February; stable debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -257%) Ismael	100 100/1(-257%)	(5) Ismael 100/1, Easy winner sole start in Irish points. Showed a bit more than in a bumper tried in cheekpieces when third of 4 on Aintree hurdle bow in May but finished legless when well held on his return here 26 days ago. Not beaten far on hurdling debut in May but struggled over 2m7f here this month.
9th	8 9th (8) (250/1 -150%) Side Stepper	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Side Stepper 250/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle. Well beaten in much weaker race than this when 80-1 for hurdle debut here (2m) 11 days ago.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Mylesfromwicklow looks likely to go well once again having hit the crossbar in all three starts under Rules to date. However, BEACHCOMBER bolted up at Chepstow in February and his subsequent effort in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham can easily be forgiven. Flying Fortune also has to be respected given her form in NH Flat races, while Push The Button is the pick of the remainder.

MYLESFROMWICKLOW showed a good level of form in 3 starts over hurdles last season and reappears with his stable amongst the winners, so he's selected to get off the mark. Flying Fortune was successful on 2 of her 4 bumper outings and rates a good hurdle prospect for a yard that traditionally does well at this time of the year, with Push The Button another interesting contender.

Peter Bowen's FLYING FORTUNE impressed when drawing clear to win a Haydock bumper by 7l in the spring and gets the vote.

16:00 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/1 +56%) Ike Sport	7 7/1(+56%)	(6) Ike Sport 7/1, Raised his game considerably back from 4 months off when seeing off a subsequent winner in handicap at Taunton in March. Done little wrong since, most recently landing the odds in a C&D novice, but this is his most demanding assignment to date.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 -14%) Ikarak	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Ikarak 16/1, Fairly useful form in France (winning chaser). Jumped erratically when failing to beat his sole rival in a handicap at Fontwell on British/stable debut but better effort when runner-up returned to this sphere in a C&D novice in May. Absent since and now tried in cheekpieces.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +8%) Allihies	6 6/1(+8%)	(7) Allihies 6/1, Flat winner in Ireland and opened hurdles account in 3-runner handicap at Warwick at the end of May. Progressed when scoring over this C&D last time and he's one to consider, for all that this demands another step forward.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -180%) Huelgoat	14 14/1(-180%)	(3) Huelgoat 14/1, Much improved switched to chasing during second half of last year, completing quick-fire 4-timer at Newbury in November. Plenty of creditable efforts in defeat have followed but, not for the first time, his finishing effort was slightly underwhelming back hurdling here when last seen in May.
5th	15 5th (15) (20/1 +20%) Woodie Flash	20 20/1(+20%)	(15) Woodie Flash 20/1, £20,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt in February. Made it third time lucky over hurdles when landing a 23f maiden here in July but made hard work of things when third in a handicap back here last month. Now tried in blinkers.
6th	12 6th (12) (20/1 -43%) Gaius	20 20/1(-43%)	(12) Gaius 20/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon and off the mark over hurdles in a 2m maiden here in June. Ran no sort of a race in a Cartmel handicap next time and, though back on track when runner-up in a novice event back here last month, others make more appeal.
7th	13 7th (13) (25/1 -150%) Faded Fantasy	25 25/1(-150%)	(13) Faded Fantasy 25/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons and made the most of a good opportunity with plenty in hand in 12-runner maiden hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. Disappointing on handicap debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter next time, though.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +14%) En Avant	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) En Avant 12/1, Improved form when making a winning stable debut fitted with a tongue tie over 2m here in July. Duly followed up under a penalty in a Fontwell novice (21.8f, good) and merits respect, for all that he now has more on his plate.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (6/1 +63%) Manimole	6 6/1(+63%)	(8) Manimole 6/1, Hasn't finished out of the first two in 7 outings in maiden/novice company since May but she looks vulnerable off this mark now back in a handicap.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (7/2 +71%) Ajp Kingdom	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(1) Ajp Kingdom 7/2, Went close in a Ludlow novice back from a 5-month absence in April and odds-on winner of his next 3 starts at up to 23.3f. However, turned over by a more exposed rival when odds on for his handicap debut at Market Rasen (23f, good to firm) last month and improvement is needed here.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 -10%) Our Scholar	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Our Scholar 11/1, Improved performer this summer, completing the hat-trick when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell (15.8f, good) in July. Continued the good work when scoring on the Flat earlier this month and while this is more demanding, he has to enter calculations.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (14/1 +30%) The Galahad Kid	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) The Galahad Kid 14/1, Unbeaten in 2 bumpers last summer and off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, good) in July. However, safely held both starts since and needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (17/2 -113%) Young Merlin	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(5) Young Merlin 17/2, Three-time winner on the Flat and has quickly established himself as a good prospect over hurdles, making it 3-3 in this sphere in a Cartmel handicap (17.2f, soft) last month. 4 lb rise fair enough and there's probably more to come.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (25/1 -79%) Painless Potter	25 25/1(-79%)	(14) Painless Potter 25/1, Winner on the Flat last year and deservedly opened hurdles account when making all in a C&D novice handicap (soft) recently. 5 lb higher mark by no means prohibitive starting out on debut for new yard and he's not without hope.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (33/1 -32%) Baikal	33 33/1(-32%)	(16) Baikal 33/1, Surprise winner of 2m maiden on second start over hurdles here in May. Added to that when landing a Southwell handicap (15.8f, good to firm) last time but his overall profile is far from convincing and he looks vulnerable up 4 lb.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 -32%) Hobie	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Hobie 66/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when landing a 2m maiden here in May. However, he ran no sort of a race in the Southwell novice won by Manimole back from a break this month.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Young Merlin puts his unbeaten record over hurdles on the line in this series final and Amy Murphy's charge shouldn't be far away off 4lb higher than last month's Cartmel success. Marginal preference, however, is for ALLIHIES, who relished the step up in trip when winning over C&D in July and Dan Skelton's four-year-old can defy a 6lb rise. Our Scholar seeks a five-timer and merits respect, while Sean Bowen taking the ride on Gaius over his stablemate En Avant should be noted too.

With the promise of better to come from YOUNG MERLIN, he is taken to preserve his unbeaten record over hurdles. The 7-y-o appeared to have more in hand than the margin of victory would imply at Cartmel last time and a subsequent 4 lb rise is by no means harsh. Our Scholar and En Avant both appear to be on upward curves and are feared most in that order of preference, while Painless Potter is also shortlisted.

He flopped on his handicap debut but FADED FANTASY qualified for this series final with a very easy maiden win and is worth chancing.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +63%) Ma Belle Noire	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(3) Ma Belle Noire 11/10, Consistent sort who opened her account in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen (20.5f) in July and added to her tally when seeing off 10 rivals over C&D at the start of this month. The handicapper hasn't missed her with a 7 lb rise but she's very much at the top of her game at present. Scored by 8l over C&D when moved back up in trip this month; ought to make presence felt.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +40%) Stamina Chope	3 3/1(+40%)	(8) Stamina Chope 3/1, Landed a small-field handicap chase in spring 2022. Hasn't quite managed to match that form over fences since but she did make a sound return to hurdles when second of 11 in a course handicap 11 days ago. Clear second over C&D 11 days ago but her overall profile remains unappealing.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/2 +54%) Sheila Nash	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(4) Sheila Nash 13/2, Won twice over C&D under Daryl Jacob last summer and back on track when third over C&D in July. Not in anything like the same form back here 3 weeks later and has since undergone wind surgery. Well suited by this C&D but soundly beaten here last month and has become hard to predict.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -17%) Artemis Angel	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) Artemis Angel 7/1, Not long with this yard and good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 18/1) last month. First British runner for trainer. Creditable second to a handicap blot at Bellewstown last month; shortlisted.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 -21%) Pennsylvanie	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(5) Pennsylvanie 17/2, Fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in France. Easily best effort for this stable when second of 8 in 2¾m Fontwell handicap 19 days ago. Claims if she can back that up. Ran big race in defeat when second on recent handicap debut; might have more to offer.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

MA BELLE NOIRE struck with something in hand over C&D earlier this month and, given the authority of that success, a 7lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable. Blue Sans has upped her game this year and she is likely to be in the shake-up once again now only 5lb higher than when completing a hat-trick at Southwell. Artemis Angel arrives in good heart and also enters calculations on the return to 2m7f.

BLUE SANS needs more to get the 4-timer up but could well be up to the task. Ma Belle Noire is also thriving and has to be feared. Stamina Chope ran well back over hurdles here recently and is also in the mix.

Irish raider ARTEMIS ANGEL (nap) faced an impossible task against the winner when second last month but was nicely clear of the others.

1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +58%) Getaway Tom	1.25 5/4(+58%)	(1) Getaway Tom 5/4, Winner in hurdle at Uttoxeter in May. 11/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 27 days ago, well positioned. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should give another good account. Runner-up all three starts since breakthrough win in May; capable 10lb claimer enlisted.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 -10%) Walkinthewoods	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(6) Walkinthewoods 11/2, Off the mark at Chepstow (2m) in October and back on track to score in 8-runner handicap at Ffos Las 143 days ago. Had something to spare there but might need this return. Signed off with good win in May (2m4f, soft); may find 2m on good ground too sharp.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/2 -117%) Up For Appeal	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(4) Up For Appeal 13/2, Fair form in bumpers when in Ireland. Stepped up on previous hurdling efforts to score at Stratford a month ago and may do better again, so likely to be on the premises. Off the mark with clearcut success at Stratford last month and can improve again.
4	7 4th (7) (7/2 +42%) Emanate	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(7) Emanate 7/2, 4/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 17 days ago, kept up to work. Progressive in this sphere and holds solid claims in his hat-trick bid. Pulled up on handicap debut in June but 2-2 over C&D since; must be considered.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +33%) Gerard Mentor	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Gerard Mentor 12/1, Scored twice last autumn but his completed outings since have been underwhelming. Others preferred. Won four times in 2022 but out of form this year; needs wind op to aid a revival.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 +38%) Swift Tuttle	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Swift Tuttle 10/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Brian Meehan. Left previous hurdling efforts behind when scoring at a big price at Bangor last time and remains potentially well treated if he can back that up. Came from off the pace for 33-1 win at Bangor this month; still low-mileage over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

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

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

UP FOR APPEAL looks the one to be on. Christian Williams' gelding gained a breakthrough success at Stratford last month and should give it a good go off only 5lb higher. The reliable Getaway Tom warrants consideration too, while you can also make a solid case for Walkinthewoods on the evidence of his comfortable success at Ffos Las and because he's gone well fresh in the past.

CARDANO has shaped better than the result so far over hurdles and his Flat form gives him the scope for improvement, so he's worth chancing despite the presence of the hat-trick seeking Emanate. Up For Appeal is also going the right way and merits consideration.

The pick is UP FOR APPEAL, who darted clear in pretty good style at Stratford last month and might still be well handicapped.

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.
