| Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:55 Worcester | 2nd (1) Hidalgo de L'Isle |  | | | | 7 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Fair hurdler who made a good start to his chasing career at the end of last month, easily beating Silent Revolution by 14l in a four-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (2m, good); the value of that form is open to question but a subsequent 5lb rise could have been worse. |
| 13:55 Worcester | (2) Silent Revolution | | | | | 8 | Lorcan Williams | Paul Nicholls | Useful hurdler when on song but made jumping errors and looked very unconvincing in all three chases; easily brushed aside by Hidalgo De L'Isle when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and needs to get his act together over fences. |
| 13:55 Worcester | 3rd (3) Isabella Bee | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | 3-10 over hurdles and built upon her very promising chasing debut when winning readily over C&D (good; front pair clear) last month; 8lb rise demands more but she still makes very obvious appeal. |
| 13:55 Worcester | 4th (4) Minella Double | | | | | 6 | Philip Armson | Rob Summers | Safely held in two chases for Olly Murphy but returned to form and caused a 40-1 surprise over hurdles here (2m4f, good) last month, his second start for Rob Summers; drops in trip again on this return to fences and others have more persuasive profiles. |
| 13:55 Worcester | 1st (5) Beat Box | | | | | 8 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Rejuvenated by switch to new stable this summer and, having easily made the most of a good opportunity at Newton Abbot (2m, soft; also suited by good) last week, is now 3-3 for Dan Skelton; faces tougher task under 7lb penalty but still commands respect. |
| 14:25 Worcester | 3rd (1) Frere d'Armes | | | | | 7 | Miss Heidi Palin | Dan Skelton | Safely held on last two outings and remains without a win since November 2022, but is now 8lb lower than when going close in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good) last November; has other form as recent as this spring that would make him hard to beat; blinkers removed after one use. |
| 14:25 Worcester | (2) Issuing Authority | | | | | 7 | James Bowen | Nicky Henderson | Low-mileage 7yo who won three-runner beginners' chase on heavy ground during the winter; raced too close to hot pace before weakening at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May then, conversely, was given a lot to do before making late headway at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June; moves back up in trip today; still has potential. |
| 14:25 Worcester | 1st (3) Watergrange Jack | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Neil Mulholland | Went close off today's mark at Stratford (2m6f, good) in May after a break, but has not really built on that performance since and was safely held when reverted to hurdling ten days ago; needs to up his game. |
| 14:25 Worcester | (4) Bagheera Ginge | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Looked out of sorts when pulled up on consecutive outings in June/July, but fared much better and went close at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; can cope with a 3lb rise and helps give his stable a good hand in this race. |
| 14:25 Worcester | 2nd (5) Chance A Tune | | | | | 9 | James Turner | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at the second attempt, keeping on strongly to win readily at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in February; not seen since unseating rider a few days later but will be fine on today's ground and remains open to improvement as a chaser. |
| 14:25 Worcester | 4th (6) Grey Skies | | | | | 8 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Has rather mixed record over fences and was well beaten on his latest outing in June, but his second at Cartmel (2m5f, good) two starts ago was a fine effort and he's on a good mark now; will be dangerous if combination of a wind operation and first-time tongue-tie has a beneficial effect. |
| 15:00 Worcester | (1) Brave Move | | | | | 5 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | Half-brother to useful chaser Fern Hill; with good stable but was unable to justify prominence in the betting when eighth of ten at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last November and has not raced since. |
| 15:00 Worcester | 4th (2) Directly | | | | | 5 | Robert Dunne | Samuel Drinkwater | £5,000 3yo; 12th foal; half-brother to useful jumper Cultram Abbey and a point winner; dam French chase winner; stable has the odd bumper winner. |
| 15:00 Worcester | (3) Guinness Lad | | | | | 4 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Neil Mulholland | First foal from a fair Flat/hurdle winner; stable has good strike-rate in bumpers (15%) and market support will make this newcomer of interest. |
| 15:00 Worcester | 3rd (4) Presenting Milan | | | | | 4 | Bradley Harris | Richard Hawker | Out of a useful hurdler and outran 25-1 odds when keeping on strongly to finish second in tactical race at Stratford (good to firm) three weeks ago; likely to play another significant role. |
| 15:00 Worcester | 1st (5) Romeo Foxtrot | | | | | 4 | Gavin Sheehan | Jo Davis | Out of a 7f Flat winner who has produced two bumper winners; raced a bit too freely but still made promising debut when third of 12 at Bangor (soft) in April; contender if suited by the quicker ground. |
| 15:00 Worcester | (6) Snitterfield | | | | | 4 | Sean Bowen | Olly Murphy | Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Butch (useful 2m4f-3m hurdle), Eavesdropping (bumper/hurdle) and Hauraki Gulf (bumper/chase); dam unraced half-sister to useful jumper Princely Player; looks the part on paper and stable has very good bumper strike-rate (20%). |
| 15:00 Worcester | 2nd (7) Start Again | | | | | 4 | Kielan Woods | Fergal O'Brien | Bought for £5,000 in May having launched career with two underwhelming Irish point runs that month; probably best watched on rules debut. |
| 15:00 Worcester | (8) Blue Du'gard | | | | | 4 | Jonathan England | Sam England | £3,500 yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to fair hurdler Bluefortytwo; dam unraced half-sister to three 2m hurdle winners; hooded on debut and stable not known for bumper winners. |
| 15:30 Worcester | 2nd (1) Ballytechno | | | | | 5 | Sean Bowen | James Owen | Third on Irish point debut in 2023; showed only minor promise in three subsequent bumpers for Thomas Gallagher and needs significant improvement on this stable/hurdle debut, but Sean Bowen is a good booking. |
| 15:30 Worcester | 4th (2) Buxted Reel | | | | | 5 | Stan Sheppard | Tom Lacey | Fair Flat racer who was placed over 1m5f last month; had previously been well beaten on hurdling stable/debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July but ought to fare better on this faster ground. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (3) Eagle Court | | | | | 7 | Harry Reed | Michael Blake | Useful on the Flat in his prime but has regressed in that sphere and was a well-beaten 100-1 shot over C&D on hurdling debut a fortnight ago. |
| 15:30 Worcester | 1st (4) Handlethekettle | | | | | 5 | Gavin Sheehan | Jamie Snowden | Fell in both his Irish points but made very promising start to hurdling career when second in 16-runner Listowel maiden (2m, good to yielding) in June, form that has been very well advertised by the winner since; changed hands for £50,000 in July and has good chance to make winning stable debut. |
| 15:30 Worcester | 3rd (5) Manowest | | | | | 6 | Lewis Saunders | Olly Murphy | Irish point winner who made very encouraging hurdle debut when second over C&D (good) in July; took a backward step here a fortnight ago but still warrants consideration in a race lacking depth. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (6) Miami Jim | | | | | 6 | Ben Poste | Rosemary Gasson | Failed to complete both Irish points in spring 2023 and showed nothing more than minor promise in two maiden hurdles this spring (2m/2m3f). |
| 15:30 Worcester | (7) Washpool | | | | | 5 | David Bass | Charlie Longsdon | Lacked the pace to land a telling blow in tactical bumper at Market Rasen in July, but was second to a subsequent rules winner in a maiden point in May (2m5f, good); has realistic each-way claims on this hurdling debut. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (8) Nelson Bay | | | | | 4 | Lee Edwards | Dave Roberts | Showed only glimmer of promise during five-race Flat career for Kevin Frost and makes stable/hurdle debut after 11-month absence. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (9) Soldier's Leap | | | | | 4 | Fergus Gillard | T Ellis | Brother to fair hurdler Hombre De Guerra; lost out only by a neck in maiden point (2m4f, good to soft) on debut in May; interesting to see how he fares on this rules debut. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (10) Nila | | | | | 5 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Absent for 577 days after winning 1m6f claimer on the Flat in France in June 2022 then fell at first flight on stable/hurdle debut in December; back from another layoff with tongue-tie fitted; may yet have a future over hurdles but there's a lot to take on trust. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (11) Now Then Wendy | | | | | 7 | Charlie Deutsch | Steph Cameron | Won 1m4f AW novice for Hughie Morrison in January 2023 but her form during the last AW season was underwhelming and this stable/hurdle debut comes after a 255-day absence. |
| 15:30 Worcester | (12) Lady Henrietta | | | | | 4 | Shane Fenelon | Peter & Michael Bowen | No match for winner when second in Stratford bumper in July and struggled when switched to hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last month; drops back in trip with hood fitted; others look stronger. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (1) Disco Davis | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Irish point winner who displayed significant promise in all three bumpers, most recently when fifth in quite valuable series final at Kelso (good) in May; had wind op in July; could have a good future over hurdles. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (2) Dreams Fled Away | | | | | 5 | David Bass | Barry Brennan | Dual 1m4f AW winner in Ireland at start of this year, but out of form on the Flat for new stable this spring and made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held sixth over C&D in July. |
| 16:00 Worcester | 3rd (3) Highly Recommended | | | | | 5 | Charlie Deutsch | Mel Rowley | Made low-key bumper debut last November and fell at second flight on hurdle debut in June; not the most obvious answer. |
| 16:00 Worcester | 1st (4) Light Dragoon | | | | | 6 | Stan Sheppard | Tom Lacey | Sold unraced by Godolphin in 2021 and was well beaten in Chepstow bumper on debut last October, but fared considerably better when third over C&D (good) on hurdling debut in July; a possible if able to build on that run. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (5) Saint Vic | | | | | 5 | James Turner | Anthony Day | Has a modicum of ability, but finished well down the field in low-grade 2m4f handicap here a fortnight ago and looks up against it on these terms. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (6) Sox's Sun | | | | | 6 | Mr Geoff Barfoot-Saunt | Tracey Barfoot-Saunt | Tailed off when 250-1 for debut here in July; can't be recommended. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (7) Gordon Grey | | | | | 4 | Jack Quinlan | B F Brookhouse | Fair front-runner at around 1m4f on the Flat; dual winner for Ben Brookhouse this season and ought to be competitive at this level if he takes adequately to hurdling. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (8) Stray Bullet | | | | | 4 | Gearoid Harney | David Pipe | Won twice on the Flat in France in May 2023, but struggled in three juvenile hurdles for David Pipe last season and we haven't seen him since a heavy defeat on the Flat in February; swaps blinkers for cheekpieces. |
| 16:00 Worcester | (9) Trust House | | | | | 4 | Sean Bowen | Olly Murphy | Made all 1m4f Flat novice for Ralph Beckett just under a year ago (RPR 84) and was sold for 58,000gns a few weeks later; has fitness to prove on this stable/hurdle debut but looks an interesting recruit for Olly Murphy. |
| 16:00 Worcester | 2nd (10) Definite Dream | | | | | 6 | Jonathan Burke | Denis Coakley | 0-9 in points but has made the frame in two 2m4f novice hurdles here this summer, albeit safely held on both occasion; has tongue-tie refitted today; no surprise if she collects another minor prize. |
| 16:00 Worcester | 4th (11) Suitably Surprised | | | | | 5 | Jonathan England | Sam England | Showed some ability in Irish points last season was a well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling starts this summer (2m-2m3f). |
| 16:30 Worcester | (1) Bolintlea | | | | | 9 | Luke Scott | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Well beaten in a recent 3m2f chase but was placed over fences here (2m4f, good) in July, after a break, and now reverts to hurdling on a good mark; one to consider. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (2) Faha Belle | | | | | 6 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | 0-8 over hurdles but runner-up on all three starts this season, most recently here (2m7f, good) ten weeks ago; will be fine over today's shorter trip and ought to give another good account. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (3) Principessa | | | | | 4 | Jack Quinlan | John Butler | Built upon encouraging hurdle debut when winning 2m maiden here (good) last month; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut and not bred to improve for the longer trip, but could easily have more to offer. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (4) Quick Of The Night | | | | | 7 | Lee Edwards | Dave Roberts | Got up close home to win 2m handicap here (good) in July and was placed off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) three weeks later; could have untapped potential over 2m4f; respected. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (5) African Lady | | | | | 4 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Displayed promise in Irish maiden hurdles in the spring, but weakened into eighth over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces) on last month's stable/handicap debut; clearly needs to do better today. |
| 16:30 Worcester | 1st (6) Fashionelle | | | | | 5 | James Best | Fergal O'Brien | Placed off today's mark in her first two handicaps (both over 2m2f at Stratford in July) and wasn't beaten far when sixth of 12 over C&D (good) last month; can make her presence felt. |
| 16:30 Worcester | 4th (7) Jo's Rainbow | | | | | 4 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Fair Flat racer; not an instant success over hurdles but kept on well when fourth of 15 on recent handicap debut at Stratford (2m, good to firm); upped in trip with tongue-tie added today; still has potential. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (8) Morning Fortune | | | | | 5 | Nick Scholfield | Ryan Potter | Shaped with significant promise when fifth in Hereford maiden (2m, good) in May, but dropped out of contention rather tamely on handicap debut the following month (2m); back up in trip with cheekpieces added. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (9) Cornamona | | | | | 6 | Adam Wedge | L J Morgan | Irish point winner; left Nicky Henderson after one underwhelming bumper run in 2023 and has not shown a great deal in three 2m novice/maiden hurdles for new stable this summer, but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and ought to be suited by the step up in trip; worth a market check. |
| 16:30 Worcester | 2nd (10) State Of Honor | | | | | 7 | Alan Johns | Tim Vaughan | Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt in conditional jockeys' race at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last week; pulled well clear of the others with the heavily backed runner-up there and escapes a penalty; needs to be taken very seriously. |
| 16:30 Worcester | (11) Night Fever | | | | | 7 | Gavin Sheehan | Jamie Snowden | 0-7 over hurdles but returned from long absence with quite encouraging sixth of 15 at Stratford (2m, good to firm; behind Jo's Rainbow) last month; might have come on for the run. |
| 16:30 Worcester | 3rd (12) Dana's Gem | | | | | 6 | Jack Hogan | Fergal O'Brien | Unexposed after only five starts but was safely held in both handicaps for Jonjo O'Neill in the spring (2m5f/3m); cheekpieces removed after one use; improvement required on stable debut (same owner). |
| 17:00 Worcester | (1) Fix At All | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Neil Mulholland | Fairly useful chaser who came good for current stable with clearcut success off today's mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in May; didn't fire on last two appearances or on only previous British hurdling start, though. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (2) Sea The Clouds | | | | | 7 | Will Featherstone | Jamie Snowden | Three good runs under Will Featherstone this season, most recently when clinging on gamely to collect a good prize at Cartmel (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; effectively 6lb higher here if his rider's reduced claim is considered and probably needs to pull out even more. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (3) Taste The Fear | | | | | 9 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Won two Southwell chases (both 3m, good) when cheekpieces were swapped for blinkers in the spring, but he fell on his latest outing in June and now reverts to hurdling for the first time since summer 2022. |
| 17:00 Worcester | 1st (4) Lihyan | | | | | 6 | William Maggs | Rebecca Menzies | Came from off the pace for clearcut success at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) in May and has performed very respectably in races that weren't really run to suit since; can be dangerous if this race sets up more favourably for him. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (5) Isthebaropen | | | | | 11 | Jack Hogan | Gary Hanmer | Five-time hurdle winner (always on good ground) but lightly raced in recent years; returned from latest layoff with a poor performance this month and is difficult to enthuse over after that. |
| 17:00 Worcester | 2nd (6) Planet Legend | | | | | 5 | Charlie Hammond | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Returned to form and was evidently suited by the hike up in trip when making the frame on consecutive outings in the spring (3m/3m1f); won't be far away if still in similar mood after four-month break. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (7) Mr Tambourine Man | | | | | 7 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Won over C&D (good) and at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) in spring, but needs to prove he can still cope with a hurdle mark this high and looked very unenthusiastic (albeit on heavy ground) on the Flat recently. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (8) Juan Bermudez | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Useful Flat-racer who won two 2m2f Stratford novice hudles in June and was not beaten far in quite valuable 2m7f Uttoxeter handicap later that month; reportedly made a respiratory noise when pulled up in Cartmel race won by Sea The Clouds in July; contender if back on song. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (9) Breaking Waves | | | | | 10 | Kielan Woods | Alex Hales | Bounced back to form with an emphatic win in refitted blinkers at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; stays further) in June, but two lesser efforts have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (10) Charles St | | | | | 5 | Fern O'Brien | Fergal O'Brien | Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (11) Earth King | | | | | 8 | Dylan Johnston | Neil Mulholland | Boosted by cheekpieces in May/June, most notably when winning by 6l at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft); ahead of Lihyan and Juan Bermudez when respectable fifth in quite valuable race at Uttoceter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and again benefits from Dylan Johnston's useful 5lb claim. |
| 17:00 Worcester | 4th (12) My Gift To You | | | | | 6 | Sean Bowen | James Owen | Progressive since making stable debut from a lowly mark last summer, collecting five wins (two hurdles, three chases) along the way; reverts to hurdling after making the frame in five of his last six chases; sports first-time cheekpieces; probably on the premises again. |
| 17:00 Worcester | (13) Art Approval | | | | | 8 | Sean Houlihan | Joe Tickle | Placed twice (once over C&D) for Ralph Smith when cheekpieces were refitted this summer and has claims if judged on those efforts, but needs to rebound from last month's underwhelming stable debut. |
| 17:00 Worcester | 3rd (14) School Days Over | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | 0-8 over hurdles but placed on his last three appearances, most recently when third over C&D (good) last month; that form was boosted when the winner followed up here on Wednesday and this fellow is 1lb lower now. |
