Worcester Race 5 - Fbc Manby Bowdler Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
PREMIER TENOR (7) was beaten 4.75L both starts here. Each time he looked set to appreciate the step up in trip and is a leading contender set to get off the mark hurdling. BLACK EDDY (2) struggled among better company after winning a jumpers flat impressively. Makes hurdling debut for a yard maintaining a good strike rate here. ADE BOY (1) won a jumpers flat before following behind good horses on his first two starts hurdling. Beaten a long way last time however this should be easier. Adopts tongue tie first time. MOI MON VIEUX (6) showed promise in jumpers flats. Outpaced making hurdle debut last time. Better is expected.
