DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
19	2 Fringill Dike Multiple hurdles winner who has made an excellent start over fences with fluent wins in 6-runner handicaps at Hexham and Uttoxeter. Weighted to complete his hat-trick despite going up another 7 lb. 5330-11	11-0	Charlie Hammond	Jedd O'Keeffe	1/1	0.91/1		9
9	3 Glory And Honour Made a winning start for his new yard in 2m1f handicap chase at Cartmel in August and backed it up with an excellent second of four at Stratford 9 days ago. Merits consideration. 4/395-12	10-7	Jonathan England	Sam England	2.5/1	3.33/1	33
21	1 Grand Roi Useful hurdler but yet to match that form in four runs in this sphere, only fifth of 8 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 21 days ago on his final run for Gordon Elliott. More is needed on his yard/handicap chase debut. FP790-5	11-10	Mr Alex Chadwick	James Owen	2.75/1	2.25/1		18
43	4 With A Start Ex-Irish 2m hurdles winner but hes yet to fire for his current yard and makes little appeal once again from 26 lb out of the handicap. 0/P-6PF3	10-5	James Best	Peter Winks	66/1	100/1	52

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
25	1 Hang In There Scored 5 times (at up to 21.4f) last season and returned to winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) 25 days ago, digging deep. 5 lb higher now but holds leading claims nonetheless. 14-2531	12-0	Joe Anderson	Emma Lavelle	3.33/1	1.5/1		55
16	2 Francky Du Berlais Not scored since July of last year but ran to the pick of his hurdles form when second in handicap at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) last month and is back on his last winning mark over the larger obstacles. R0-3052	11-10	James Bowen	Peter Bowen	3.33/1	5.5/1	65
78	4 Hatcher Only narrowly denied at Fakenham (21.2f) in June but isnt the easiest to win with nowadays and was below par when last seen at Uttoxeter 78 days ago. F3P-324	10-11	Harry Skelton	Dan Skelton	6/1	9/1	50
45	5 Topofthecotswolds Course winner who has acquitted himself well in defeat in recent starts, latest when third of 11 in handicap chase at Bangor (24f, good) 45 days ago. Ought to give another good account. 3P-6423	10-11	Sam Twiston-Davies	Nigel	6.5/1	4/1		38
25	3 La Domaniale Recaptured the pick of her form from last summer when winning at Aintree (19.9f, good) in May and posted respectable third to Hang In There in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) latest. Others look better treated, though. 146-193	11-6	Jonjo O'Neill Jr	Jonjo O'Neill	7.5/1	5/1		33
16	7 Kauto The King Returned to form (on back of second wind operation) when taking 4-runner handicap chase (9/2) at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) 16 days ago. Effective over this longer trip and cant be ruled out. 3 lb out of the weights. 433341	10-2	Brendan Powell	Joe Tizzard	8/1	10/1	25

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
15	6 Newmill Getaway Fourth sole start in Irish points May and displayed ability when third on Rules debut at Uttoxeter in July, sticking to her task. Built on that with an easy C&D win a fortnight ago, travelling powerfully. 431	11-0	Connor Brace	David Brace	3.5/1	3/1		14
140	7 Touchwoodexpress €26,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Drumlin. Won sole start in points in May and has transferred to a successful yard. 1	11-0	Sam Twiston-Davies	Nigel	5.5/1	2/1		64
155	4 Little Peter Stepped up markedly on his debut run when third of 9 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 155 days ago, running on. That puts him right in the mix. 63-	11-2	Brian Hughes	John Berry	7/1	3.33/1		52
0	9 Walking It Off Walk In The Park filly. Sister to modest hurdler Puddlesinthepark, and half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Induno. Dam (h135) 2m-3m hurdle winner.	10-7	Gavin Sheehan	Jamie Snowden	9/1	3/1		67
18	2 Atacama Sky Telescope gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (21f-3¼m winner) Gunner Welburn and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m-21f winner) Ace Fighter Pilot.

Race 4 Worcester 15:50 NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
27	7 The Eventmaster Settled much better with a hood fitted when second of 7 in bumper (8/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 27 days ago. That form puts him right in the mix. 42	11-0	Jack Quinlan	B F Brookhouse	3/1	2/1		33
0	3 Bahio Boum Bucks Boum gelding. Half-brother to French hurdle/chase winner up to 2½m Bahiosun and French hurdler Little Bahia. Dam (c122/h109) French 17f-19f hurdle/chase winner. Newcomer for top yard so demands respect.	11-0	Harry Skelton	Dan Skelton	4/1	3.5/1		13
215	1 Prairie Diamond Well backed and the confidence was justified when winning 6-runner bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good) on NH debut, running on. Off 7 months and more needed under a penalty. 1-	11-7	Sean Bowen	Martin Keighley	5.5/1	4.5/1		18
0	6 Stungbythemaster Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam (h100), bumper winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Wildebeest. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.	11-0	Connor Brace	Fergal O'Brien	7.5/1	4/1		47
49	9 Basman Palace Tongue strap on and sent off a huge price having had a wind op but debut fifth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot wasnt devoid of promise. 5	10-6	Micheal Nolan	Carroll Gray	12/1	12/1		0
25	8 Shirley Knott Tongue strap fitted on first run since leaving Tom Lacey when third of 8 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good, 50/1) 25 days ago. 4-3	10-7	Lee Edwards	Adam West	14/1	14/1		0
18	5 Hutcheson £2,000 New Approach gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 7 winners on Flat, including smart 5f-7f winner Final Song. Tongue tied and heavily backed on debut 18 days ago, only to show very little. Drying ground may help his cause. 8	11-0	Harry Cobden	James Owen	22/1	28/1	27
0	2 Yogi's Trail Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Chickapeakray and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Classic Chic.	11-2	Stan Sheppard	Matt Sheppard	50/1	33/1		34

Race 5 Worcester 16:25 Novices/Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
128	4 Rock House Easy winner of sole start between the flags last spring and looked a good prospect when readily landing bumper at Huntingdon back in April. Ran at least as well in defeat when runner-up a month later at Warwick and representing a top yard, hes sure to be popular on hurdling debut. 1/1-2	11-4	Harry Skelton	Dan Skelton	1.38/1	0.62/1		55
96	6 Corporal Jackjones Left debut behind when winning a 3-runner bumper at Newton Abbot in June and followed up under a penalty there (16.8f, good to firm) a week later for his new stable. Makes hurdles bow after 3 months off and he needs considering. 9-11	11-2	Micheal Nolan	Syd Hosie	1.88/1	7/1	272
49	1 Alright Dai Confirmed debut promise when runner-up in a Warwick bumper back in February and filled that same position on return/debut for this yard on return at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 7 weeks ago. Wouldnt need to be a superstar to go close on hurdles bow here. 42-2	11-4	Harry Cobden	Neil Mulholland	5/1	4/1		20
172	7 Mr Mackay Made the frame on his first 3 starts in bumpers, including in a listed contest at Cheltenham on New Years Day. However, proved a let-down faced with more testing conditions at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) when last seen 6 months ago and could get back on the up now hurdling. 2435-	11-2	Sam Twiston-Davies	Nigel	18/1	4/1		78
121	5 Black Occ Ocovango gelding. Dam (b75), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Justpourit. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 20). 2	11-2	Sean Houlihan	Sheila Lewis	20/1	33/1	65
27	10 Princess Unique Poor in bumpers and well held both starts over hurdles. 76388	10-9	Sean Bowen	Peter Bowen	50/1	150/1	200
13	9 Luckie Money Achieved little on hurdles debut at Stratford in July but showed more 9 weeks on when third in maiden at Bangor (16.7f, good) just less than a fortnight ago. That form nothing special however, so will need to take another step forward. 53	10-11	Theo Gillard	Donald McCain	80/1	50/1		38
16	2 Bowmans Dream Sent off at huge prices and offered nothing on both starts over hurdles at Newton Abbot this summer. Impossible to fancy. 84	11-4	Elizabeth Gale	Carroll Gray	200/1	250/1	25
140	8 Ruith Le Tu Fair handicapper on Flat but refused to race on his last 2 starts 5 months apart, latest at Bath back in May. Has since left Stan Moore and its tough to have any confidence backing him.	11-2	Harry Kimber	Polly Gundry	200/1	200/1		0

Race 6 Worcester 17:00 Novices/Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
18	4 The Geordie Ginge Fair hurdler who has been on his game when placed in similar company on his last 3 outings. Likely to be on the premises again. 620-232	11-4	Sam Twiston-Davies	Nigel	0.91/1	0.83/1		9
16	5 Ar El Bee Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 1m) for David Menuisier. No impact in 2 outings over hurdles for Oliver Sherwood but more positive signs for new yard when third in 2m Newton Abbot novice 16 days ago. Has the potential for more, particularly if settling better. 553	11-2	Paul O'Brien	Harry Derham	3/1	2.75/1		8
168	9 Emily's Star Quite a good pedigree and offered more in this sphere when fifth of 12 in novice at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) last month. May be capable of better for top stable. 9/45-	10-11	Harry Skelton	Dan Skelton	3.33/1	5/1	50
19	2 Gieves Stepped forward from his first 2 efforts over hurdles when third in 2m Wincanton maiden in April. Too free when well held on Uttoxeter handicap debut last month but claims if a first-time hood helps him to settle better. 05U63-9	11-4	Kielan Woods	Ben Pauling	16/1	9/1		44
27	8 Side Stepper 20/1, sixth of 7 in a course bumper on debut 4 weeks ago. Best watched now switching to hurdles unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. 6	11-2	Nick Scholfield	Christian Williams	25/1	80/1	220
18	7 Go On Ya Goodthing Third in an Irish point. Showed a bit when fourth in a Worcester bumper on Rules debut but well held in another bumper and a novice hurdle since. 3P-497	11-2	Connor Brace	David Brace	66/1	100/1	52
232	3 Heresmax Modest maiden handicapper on Flat for Micky Hammond. No show in 2 outings over hurdles for Polly Gundry. A chance of trainer needs to have had a positive effect. 0P-	11-4	Harry Bannister	Richard J Bandey	100/1	25/1		75

Race 7 Worcester 17:35 Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
19	12 Celestial Park Different proposition after wind surgery when winning 11-runner Uttoxeter handicap over this trip at the end of August. Still on a basement mark after a 6 lb rise. 607-591	10-9	Jack Quinlan	Ben Case	3/1	3.33/1	11
55	1 Methodtothemagic Opened her account in convincing style back over hurdles in 11-runner Southwell handicap in July. Creditable third back there 3 weeks later. Another prominent showing is likely. 663-413	12-0	Finn Lambert	Richard Phillips	3.33/1	4/1	20
6	3 Hedera Park Has reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles, the latest over this C&D last week. Harry Cobden booked for handicap debut but opening mark demands more. 4-67443	11-6	Harry Cobden	Debra Hamer	5.5/1	4.5/1		18
523	2 Rosearelli Won handicap chases at Market Rasen and Ffos Las for Ali Stronge in early 2022 but absent since a poor run at Southwell in April of that year. Returns for a yard more than capable of readying one after an absence. Check the betting. 650116/	11-9	Charlie Hammond	Dr Richard Newland	8.5/1	12/1	41
53	4 Malago Rose Has shown a bit of promise in maiden hurdles over 2m here and rates a possible improver in handicaps. 40-544	11-5	James Best	Simon Earle	10/1	5.5/1		45
140	7 Stargazer Belle Showed little in bumpers. Fared a bit better over hurdles in the spring and handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance of success. 0055-4	11-1	Harry Bannister	Ben Case	11/1	18/1	64
27	10 Energy Two Course third in June was quite encouraging but shes failed to build on it since. Remains to be seen whether a step up in trip improves matters. 3-37408	10-11	Micheal Nolan	Philip Hobbs &	16/1	9/1		44
70	11 Bella Madonna Poor form in bumpers/hurdles, including well held on handicap debut in July. Malago Rose looks the more obvious of the yards pair. 38-6558	10-10	David Noonan	Simon Earle	18/1	11/1		39
9	8 Ocean Reach Modest on Flat and just poor form at best over hurdles, beaten 17 lengths when third in 18.5f Stratford handicap 9 days ago. 935/03	11-1	Harriet Tucker	Richard Price	20/1	20/1		0
102	6 Stamina Chope Landed a small-field handicap chase in spring 2022 but has been operating a little below that level since. Off since finishing a remote last of 4 over fences at Uttoxeter in June. Back hurdling after a break. 3635-44	11-2	Lee Edwards	Dave Roberts	20/1	25/1	25
15	5 Betty's Belle Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles for Ben Pauling this summer but ran poorly over 23f here on recent stable debut. 552248	11-3	Mr James Turner	Tracey Leeson	33/1	40/1	21
27	9 Grinn Long-standing maiden. Did fare a bit better when fourth on her Worcester stable debut in August but failed to build on it when down the field at Newton Abbot 3 weeks later. 0-00040	11-0	Sean Bowen	David Rees	33/1	40/1	21

DSLR	HORSE	WGT	JOCKEY	TRAINER	1ST	LT	-%	%
6	1 Hungry Hill Resumed his progress after a blip over C&D with a win in 8-runner handicap hurdle 6 days ago. Not taken lightly under a 7 lb penalty. 2-62161	12-17ex	Nick Scholfield	Jonjo O'Neill	2.25/1	4/1	78
16	3 Edison Kent Winner of a big-field Killarney maiden hurdle for Jessica Harrington back in May 2021. Largely struggled since but shaped more encouragingly on his yard debut when fourth of 8 at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 16 days ago. Weighted to go well off a 4 lb lower mark. P95-9P4	11-7	Lilly Pinchin	James Owen	4.5/1	5.5/1	22
21	9 Coal Fire Opened his account at Market Rasen (20.6f) in July and backed it up with a solid third of 10 in 2m6f Cartmel handicap hurdles 21 days ago. Hes one to consider off an unchanged mark. 8-6P213	10-5	Sean Bowen	Peter Bowen	5.5/1	4/1		27
13	2 Halifax Bagged his third success for his current yard in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good) 13 days ago. On the upgrade recently so must enter calculations despite taking a 4 lb rise. 9-21631	12-0	Conor Ring	Grace Harris	7/1	6/1		14
20	8 Classic Concorde Ended a losing run stretching back nearly 3 years in 9-runner handicap hurdle over C&D 20 days ago. This 10-y-o is likely to give another good account despite a 4 lb rise. 1P2321	10-11	Connor Brace	David Brace	8/1	3.5/1		56
9	5 Peaceful Sunday Fair ex-Irish winner who posted his best effor for his current yard when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 9 days ago. Up in trip now and enters calculations. 934-244	11-4	Lewis Stones	Jennie Candlish	12/1	40/1	233
15	6 Dynamic Kate Returned to her best of late following a breathing operation, cosily winning over C&D before good third of 11 in handicap hurdle here 15 days ago. Not ruled out off an unchanged mark. 1F-3613	10-13	Joe Anderson	Neil Mulholland	14/1	4.5/1		68
45	7 Daranova Gained two 3m chase wins in May 2022 but struggling for form at present, tried in a change of headgear when pulled up at Uttoxeter last month. Has lots to prove back in this sphere. 12P5-PP	10-11	Kevin Brogan	Gary Hanmer	28/1	33/1	18
