Worcester Race 4 - Richard And Ann Hitchings Memorial Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
MAGNIFIX DU MOULIN (6) First run back from a break. Made some ground late when 3rd last time at Bangor and putting a tidy record together so far. Winning chance in this line up. SHADOW LOVE (10) Initial appearance 4yo by Getaway for trainer Daniel Skelton. Jockey Harry Skelton adds value. Follow the money. NO AIRS OR GRACES (8) 4yo first starter sired by Walkinthepark for Neil Mulholland. Harry Cobden is highly regarded. Watch early betting. OUR PEGGY (3) Back after break of 30 weeks. Failed to finish in a hurdle at Kelso. Expecting to settle positively. Looks a great place bet.

Resumes after a 29 week break. Was $4.50 and ran on into 4th last time at Southwell. Harry Skelton is an advantage. Expected to settle towards the tail. Small possibility.

Resumes after a break. Came on strongly to finish 3rd last time at Bangor and showing consistent performance in races. Very capable of taking this out.

At $34.00 disappointing display when 6th last start here. Likely to get back in the run. Others are better.

Walkinthepark 4yo on debut for trainer Neil Mulholland. More confidence with jockey Harry Cobden guiding the horse. Watch the market moves.

Started at $201.00 and ran 5th last start in a hurdle at Chepstow. Recent form of the yard is strong. Not ready for this level.

Daniel Skelton 4yo by Getaway having first start. Good to see jockey Harry Skelton is jumping on. Betting is the best guide.
