Worcester Race 5 - Fbc Manby Bowdler Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
SPANISH DARLING (6) Finished well when winning last start at the track. Coming to a new trainer. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Can win this. LEXINGTON WOOD (4) Resuming from a spell. Was competitive when 2nd last run in a hurdle at Perth. Jockey Sean Bowen and trainer Olly Murphy are usually competitive when they team up. Must respect in this event. NORTHERN OLYMPIAN (5) First up and put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 3L first up last preparation at Munich. First race for a new trainer. Worth strong consideration. KING ROLO (3) 5yo debutant by Getaway for trainer Harry Derham. Good to see Paul Obrien is jumping on. Keep your eye on the market.

First up today. Started $29.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start in a hurdle at Chepstow and back to a shorter distance. Needs significant improvement.

Back after a break. Ran 2nd last run in a hurdle at Perth. Jockey Sean Bowen is in top form for this yard. Should get going late. Expect a forward showing.

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $41.00 and average performance when 7th last run in a hurdle at Uttoxeter. Should muster plenty of early speed. Form will be tested here.
