WORCESTER will serve up six sumptuous races as it opens its evening programme tomorrow night.

The Pitchcroft racecourse begins the first of three evening meetings with some top class action on the menu.

And officials are hoping punters will combine the meeting with a bite or two in picturesque summer surroundings.

"It really is the ideal opportunity to come and have a meal and enjoy some excellent racing," said operations manager Katherine Self.

"The forecast is good and I think many will want to come down and combine a great meal and drinks with friends and take in the races."

Racing begins at 6.45pm, with the final race at 9.15pm.

The showpiece event -- the handicap chase -- should see The Land Agent go head to head with Barnburgh Boy in the £6,000 added race.
