14:05 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping CHIEF BLACK ROBE of late and an 8lb raised mark for his latest 18-length success last time looks unlikely to hold him back in his bid for a four-timer. Fergal O'Brien's inmate can mount another bold bid stepping up in distance and he is fancied to get the better of last-time-out C&D winner Tiger Orchid, who has gone up 6lb for that success. Hardy Boy completes the shortlist.

CHIEF BLACK ROBE continues to thrive, winning all 3 starts over fences for this yard, and he still looks ahead of his mark despite another rise. Tiger Orchid is the obvious threat having made a winning chase bow over C&D 12 days ago.

The forecast rain is a potential issue for CHIEF BLACK ROBE but he has been in superb form for his new trainer in recent weeks.

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

Pottlerath has been highly progressive this term and the gelded son of Yeats steps up in class following a comfortable success over 3m at Bangor last month. However, a tentative vote is given to KAUTO THE KING, who finished a fair third over 2m5f at Newton Abbot most recently and can improve off 2lb lower. The consistent Lermoos Legend also warrants a market check following a staying-on third over 2m last time out.

The thriving POTTLERATH can complete the 4-timer at the main expense of Topofthecotswolds, who has dipped below his last winning mark.

Topweight TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS was in the thick of things for a long way before fading into fourth last time, and this race looks easier.

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

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY was only narrowly denied on his racecourse debut over C&D last month and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture here. His dam was a Listed bumper winner and it is likely he has more to offer with that in mind. His chief dangers look to be Rules debutants Ballela Blaze and Tribal Glory, both whom arrive following easy point-to-points wins earlier in the year.

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY found only a well-touted fellow newcomer too good over C&D last month and with that experience sure to stand him in good stead, Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o is fancied to go one better. The market will no doubt provide clues with regards to the newcomers, but Professor Higgins and Tribal Glory both represent top yards and it would be no surprise to see them both in the mix.

One of two to pull along way clear of the others when going close here on debut, THIRTYFOUR THIRTY might be the answer.

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

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

SOLDAT FORTE has been hugely consistent since beginning his career in this sphere and recent efforts have suggested that a step up in trip may eke out further improvement. If so, the six-year-old may have too much for the slightly unlucky Ike Sport, who has been runner-up on three of his last four outings. A winner here over shorter in May, Baikal can also have a say in proceedings.

IKE SPORT escapes a penalty for his win in a conditional jockeys' handicap and that just tips things in his favour ahead of fellow previous hurdle winner Soldat Forte. Roll With It hasn't been seen for 16 months but did achieve enough in bumpers at the beginning of 2022 to think he could make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

This looks a good opportunity for IKE SPORT, who has been running to a fair level in handicaps and avoids a penalty for his win.

16:15 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far over C&D on her handicap debut last month, there is a possibility that THREE MACKS may get her way out in front this time around as she looks to break the maiden at the seventh time of asking. A winner of two of her last three starts, Vision Of Hope can give her the most to think about, along with My Poem, who has run well fresh in the past.

VISION OF HOPE held off another improving sort when scoring at Market Rasen last time and, with further improvement to come, she's fancied to defy a small rise. Three Macks and Energy Two both stepped forward when hitting the frame in the same C&D handicap 19 days ago and they're likely to be involved again.

If ridden a little handier this time then the unexposed ENERGY TWO could reverse recent course placings with Three Macks.

16:50 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

RUBYS REWARD has shown an improved level of form on her last couple of starts and the booking of Harry Cobden might help to make the difference required for her to gain a second career victory. Karavomylos got off the mark at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing and has to enter calculations off a 3lb higher mark. Racing Spirit and Ya Know Yaseff appeal most of the remainder.

KARAVOMYLOS has proved a different proposition stepped up in trip in handicaps this season, staying on well to open his account at Uttoxeter last time, and he can continue his progress to score again. Racing Spirit placed twice at this C&D last summer and could be the main danger, with Rubys Reward completing the shortlist.

If reinvigorated by the combination of first-time blinkers and a switch back to hurdling, WILDFIRE WARRIOR is on a very dangerous mark.

17:25 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

HOLLOW RON benefited from stepping up in trip when scoring for the first time at Uttoxeter last month and the application of cheekpieces for the first time may yield further progression. Jack The Farmer has been knocking on the door recently and he is likely to enter calculations once again, while Robbie Dazzler is capable of building on his recent fourth at Southwell.

JACK THE FARMER is a long-standing maiden but has posted a series of good efforts in defeat since joining Nigel Hawke and looks to have found a reasonable opportunity to get off the mark here. Hollow Ron produced an improved performance to score at Uttoxeter last time and rates as the most serious threat, with Robbie Dazzler making most appeal of the remainder.

Nigel Hawke's JACK THE FARMER (nap) drew clear of the others when second to a next-time-out winner in June and is only 1lb higher here.

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.
