LAWRENCE Clarke is hopeful of a bold show when he starts his 110m hurdles campaign in the World Athletics Championship in Beijing tomorrow morning.

Clarke, from Christmas Common, near Watlington, races at 4.20am, with a potential semi-final on Thursday and the final on Friday.

“I have prepared as well as possible and I am in shape to perform to my best,” Clarke said.

“It is a great privilege to represent Great Britain.”
