14:10 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

All The Glory and Flight Of Freedom both merit the utmost respect given their proven winning form over hurdles, but the penalties that they carry have to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for FAVOUR AND FORTUNE, who won two bumpers in impressive fashion last season and his most recent effort in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham can easily be forgiven.

FAVOUR AND FORTUNE looks a useful prospect for hurdling and the dual bumper winner can make a successful start in this sphere. Flight of Freedom created a good impression when scoring first time up over hurdles at Warwick recently and should improve. All The Glory is probably vulnerable again and stablemate Rock of The Nation could be a bigger threat if ready to roll.

After this month's emphatic Warwick win, FLIGHT OF FREEDOM is preferred.

Billytherealbigred was second in a similar event on his debut at Stratford a couple of weeks ago and is arguably the one to beat here. However, a chance can be taken on the unraced FRANCINA, who is a full-sister to the Group 3 Flat winner and dual hurdles scorer Favorite Moon. Great Valley is another noteworthy newcomer, while Summer Night City will need to improve to make an impact.

Dan Skelton landed the first race of the season of this type at Stratford recently and GREAT VALLEY is an obvious one on paper for the yard. He's preferred to fellow newcomer Francina and Billytherealbigred, who was second in the aforementioned contest.

The filly FRANCINA has a nice Flat pedigree and she wouldn't have to be anything special to take this.

15:10 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

In a moderate event it would be no surprise to see YOUNG WOLF bounce back to form. The 10-year-old has not matched the level of form that saw him win at Market Rasen in August in three subsequent starts, but he is just 1lb above that winning mark and may improve for first-time cheekpieces. Ballinoulart was not disgraced at Bangor last time and edges out Carapaz to be best of the rest.

BALLINOULART has a much less exposed profile than most of these and looks worth siding with on his reappearance. Young Wolf is back to just 1 lb higher than when successful at Market Rasen in August and could pose the chief threat if reacting well to first-time headgear.

The 5yo BALLINOULART can gain a first success after two fair chasing efforts in the spring.

15:40 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

MONTREGARD came home strongly to win over 2m3f at Warwick in April, and Tom Lacey's charge is expected to be even better over this longer trip. An opening mark of 105 wouldn't appear to be a gift, but it's unlikely that he will need to be anything out of the ordinary to strike here. My Gift To You and Izzy's Grey head the list of dangers.

There should be plenty more to come from MONTREGARD, who landed the odds in a Warwick maiden during the spring and is likely to relish this stiffer test now moving into handicap company. State of Honor was all set to make a successful handicap debut over C&D when last seen 8 months ago and will be a threat if none the worse for that tumble. Mactavish is third choice ahead of My Gift To You.

Unexposed 4yo MONTREGARD (nap) displayed a pretty good turn of foot to collect at Warwick maiden in the spring and gets the vote.

SPITFIRE GIRL finished first past the post on her chasing debut nine days ago, but was later demoted to second having caused interference. Connections will have been happy with the overall performance, however, and she will appreciate the return to a right-handed track. With improvement to come, she can repel the likely challenge of Kestrel Valley, who arrives having notched up back-to-back wins in the spring. Sadie Hill is another to consider.

KESTREL VALLEY was an emphatic winner over C&D when last seen and could take a bit of stopping if new trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies has her in similar form for this reappearance. Spitfire Girl is the obvious danger having finished first past the post off this mark at Ffos Las recently (subsequently demoted to second).

It is hard to escape the claims of SPITFIRE GIRL, especially returning to a right-handed track.

16:40 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Gerard Mentor was only denied by a head when second in a similar event at Exeter 12 days ago and should go well again, but a 4lb rise makes life tougher and preference is for EZ TIGER. The Alex Hales-trained gelding got within a short head of landing a double at Southwell last month and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent this in-form six-year-old going close again. Starlight Glance could be well treated off bottom weight on her handicap debut.

Though he arrives on a long losing run, STONIFIC has fallen a long way in the weights since his latest success and looks ready to strike judged on his placed efforts at Southwell and Ludlow the last twice. Gerard Mentor is a much-respected main danger having returned to form when going close at Exeter recently and, like the selection, he is on a good mark. East End Girl is a live each-way candidate, a remark which also applies to Ez Tiger and the lightly-raced Starlight Glance.

17:15 Hereford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IRISH CHORUS made an encouraging debut when third at Newbury in March, form that has been boosted by two of those behind her scoring since, and she looks a big player with improvement expected following that initial experience. Navajo Indy was only held by a length at Kempton when last seen in March and has claims on that form, while Matchadam cost 50,000gns following a point-to-point success and he's of interest on his debut under Rules.

DIAMOND DICE, Bellas Bridge and Matchadam are all of strong interest starting out under Rules for respected yards. The first-named is the only member of the trio who failed to make a winning debut between the flags, but he may well have done so but for falling at the last and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Navajo Indy looks the pick of those with experience in this sphere and he merits respect.

A reasonable standard is set by NAVAJO INDY and he could make it third time lucky.

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.

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.
