1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +45%) Invincible Speed		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(9) Invincible Speed 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, fifth of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) 64 days ago. Unexposed and interesting on handicap debut, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Promise on all three outings last year; now tackles a handicap could be unexposed.
2	10 2nd (10) (13/2 +59%) Moyola		6.5 13/2(+59%)																															(10) Moyola 13/2, Winner at Newcastle in October. Well below par there twice but he is at least well drawn to attack from the 1 box. Won easily at Newcastle in October but failed by a long chalk to repeat the form.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 +67%) Appellant		3.333333 10/3(+67%)																															(7) Appellant 10/3, 9/2, bit below form sixth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Bounce back needed. Unplaced in nurseries; falling in weights but needs to return to his best.
4	12 4th (12) (16/1 +52%) Moe's Legacy		16 16/1(+52%)																															(12) Moe's Legacy 16/1, 16/1, fourteenth of 18 in nursery at Leicester (6f, good). Off 94 days. Makes tapeta debut. Eight-race maiden; well held in big field at Leicester on final 2yo start; AW debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 +30%) Vice Captain		7 7/1(+30%)																															(8) Vice Captain 7/1, Winner at Bath in September. 11/1, creditable fourth of 10 in nursery at this course (5f) 17 days ago. Consistent type; creditable fourth in nursery here on Boxing Day; unlikely to be far away.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -136%) East Bank		33 33/1(-136%)																															(4) East Bank 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Hood on first time now handicapping. Mark demands improvement. Made winning start at Beverley last spring but has not repeated the form; now hooded.
7th	3 7th (3) (5/1 +9%) Graceful Mary		5 5/1(+9%)																															(3) Graceful Mary 5/1, Thrice-raced C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in nursery at this course (5f, 9/2) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. C&D winner; excuses next time and may still have untapped potential.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +25%) King Street		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) King Street 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and blinkered first time, eighth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Hollie Doyle up but has something to find on form. Has not repeated form of C&D fourth in November; blinkers quickly discarded.
9th	6 9th (6) (15/2 -88%) Zola Power		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(6) Zola Power 15/2, Came good at the first time of asking for his new stable after wind op in 5.1f handicap 10 days ago. First-time headgear combination worn on that occasion retained. Should be very competitive under a penalty but the draw could have been kinder. Winning debut for Mick Appleby ten days ago; should make another bold bid under penalty.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -213%) Heed The Call		50 50/1(-213%)																															(1) Heed The Call 50/1, Latest win at Hamilton in July. 80/1, last of 8 in nursery at Southwell (5f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Drawn widest. Hasn't beaten a rival in two outings for current yard; others preferred.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Graceful Mary can make her presence felt if recapturing the form which saw her win by half a length over C&D in November, but her lacklustre handicap debut when eighth of 10 last month tempers enthusiasm. The application of a hood for the first time should help East Bank to settle better in the early part of the race and he may outrun his forecast odds. Better ran out a three-length winner over C&D in December but has been hit with an 11lb rise for that success which will make life tougher for him here and preference goes to ZOLA POWER. The latter clearly benefitted from wind surgery when making all to win over 5f at this course eight days ago and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty with scope for improvement following that reappearance run.

There could be plenty more to come from George Boughey's BETTER who is selected to make light of a double-figure rise for last month's C&D success. The unexposed James Tate handicap newcomer Invincible Speed is a potentially dangerous opponent, while the draw could have been kinder to Zola Power but he's one who could easily have more to offer for new trainer Mick Appleby.

Impressive in December, BETTER (nap) could still have untapped potential as a sprinter and may follow up despite a rise in the weights.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 -43%) Daytona Lady		5 5/1(-43%)																															(2) Daytona Lady 5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 22 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Remains well treated on old form, so merits plenty of respect. Dead-heated at Chelmsford last month; 3lb rise doesn't look excessive; strong contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/8 +39%) Sibyl Charm		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(3) Sibyl Charm 11/8, 5/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Latest effort has been boosted by the winner since, so she's worth a chance to go one better. Good second (clear of the third) at Newcastle last time; should make another bold bid.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 +21%) Ravensbourne		11 11/1(+21%)																															(11) Ravensbourne 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others make more appeal. Needs to step up on last month's two runs in AW nurseries; headgear now added.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -144%) Dazy Mazy		22 22/1(-144%)																															(6) Dazy Mazy 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f), merely closing up late. Off 11 months. Difficult ask. Shaped with promise on her handicap debut but that was 11 months ago; perhaps best watched.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Sarah's Verse		18 18/1(-125%)																															(4) Sarah's Verse 18/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 48 days ago. Not dismissed. Rated much higher last winter; running okay when last seen but others are more appealing.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -20%) Ithra		6 6/1(-20%)																															(1) Ithra 6/1, 3/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 9 days ago. On a handy mark and remains one to be intereste in. 0-9 but she has shown winning potential; not at her very best last week; still considered.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -64%) Boom Boom Pow		9 9/1(-64%)																															(9) Boom Boom Pow 9/1, 11/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago, better placed than most. Expected to be bang there. Runner-up on her last two starts; 2lb well in but this is tougher than last time.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Madame Fenella		28 28/1(-12%)																															(5) Madame Fenella 28/1, 5/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft). Off 169 days. Something to find on form. Only beat three rivals when winning at Chelmsford in June; absent 169 days; others safer.
9th	8 9th (8) (66/1 -230%) Port Noir		66 66/1(-230%)																															(8) Port Noir 66/1, C&D winner. Last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back. No impact back from a break here last month; needs to step forward quickly from that.
10th	7 10th (7) (28/1 -250%) All In The Hips		28 28/1(-250%)																															(7) All In The Hips 28/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 16 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. Down in the weights and shaped well latest; widest stall not ideal this time though.
11th	10 11th (10) (15/2 +46%) Mariamne		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(10) Mariamne 15/2, First run since leaving James Ferguson when bit below form fifth of 12 in nursery (25/1) at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal. Course winner; not at her best on last month's stable debut; drawn wide tonight.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

DAYTONA LADY arrives here after forcing a dead-heat in her most recent start at Chelmsford, when faring best of those held up off the pace, and she may not have to share first place here off 3lb higher. Boom Boom Pow is fancied as the main danger to the selection after only finding one too good on her last two starts, but she may be the bridesmaid again off the same mark here. Dazy Mazy may be the one to fill the placings after a luckless display off 1lb higher at Newcastle last time out.

SIBYL CHARM pulled clear with one that went in next time at Newcastle recently, so a performance of similar merit could be enough for her to gain compensation. Boom Boom Pow is at the top of her game and should feature, while Daytona Lady can't be ruled out.

Daytona Lady and SIBYL CHARM appeal most. The selection bumped into a rapid improver last time and pulled well clear of the third.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +19%) Beauzon		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(1) Beauzon 13/8, Ended last year on a low-key note but took advantage of much-reduced mark dropped into 0-55 company when landing 12-runner C&D handicap on Sunday. Consistency not his strong suit but claims if arriving in same groove under a penalty. Evidently revived by removal of hood when scoring over C&D on Sunday; respected.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/2 +8%) One For The Ladies		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(10) One For The Ladies 11/2, C&D winner. 15/2, again shaped better than distance beaten suggests when third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 32 days ago, enduring wide trip/from tricky draw. Capable of defying this mark if she gets the breaks. In-form mare, having been placed in last three races (twice here); solid claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -22%) Come On Girl		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(4) Come On Girl 11/2, Losing run is mounting up but she's returned in good heart this winter, finishing to good effect when second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 days ago. No surprise to see her thereabouts from handy draw. Turns looks near having finished second at Lingfield and Southwell the last twice.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +25%) Kaidu		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Kaidu 12/1, Back on track when runner-up in novice company here (5.1f) in November but disappointed both starts back in handicap company since. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip at least. Has produced duck eggs in three handicap attempts; something to prove.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 +10%) My Boy Jack		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(7) My Boy Jack 9/2, C&D winner. 8/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, never nearer. Good pace to aim at here will aid his cause. Both wins over C&D; below best the last twice but is interesting with Rossa Ryan booked.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 +25%) Shabaaby		12 12/1(+25%)																															(2) Shabaaby 12/1, Latest win over C&D in November and dispelled a lesser effort when creditable 2 lengths fourth of 11 to Red Walls in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 21 days ago, ridden 2f out and keeping on. Each-way claims from handy draw. 40-1 win here in November; far from consistent otherwise for current stable.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -50%) Red Walls		9 9/1(-50%)																															(9) Red Walls 9/1, Ended long losing run at Southwell in December and, following a good second over C&D, he duly resumed winning ways in 11-runner minor event at Lingfield (6f) 8 days ago. More on his plate now though back in a handicap and widest draw to overcome. Justified favouritism in Lingfield classified race last week; in good form.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -108%) Captain Wentworth		25 25/1(-108%)																															(5) Captain Wentworth 25/1, Maiden who, having been well backed, run best race for a while when runner-up at Chelmsford (7f) in June. Not figured in 3 subsequent outings, but likely he'll be sharper for his latest run at that venue 3 weeks ago (following 4 months off). Worth noting if market speaks in his favour. Still a maiden and may ideally need a return to 7f.
9th	3 9th (3) (125/1 -400%) Bala Hatun		125 125/1(-400%)																															(3) Bala Hatun 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 50/1) in June, driven over 3f out and soon beaten. Absent since but best effort to date did come on AW. Market may prove a useful guide returning from 7 months off. Far from solid on her 7f/1m form; something to prove dropped in trip.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Beauzon was said to have benefitted from being able to race prominently when winning over C&D five days ago and he merits respect turned out quickly under a penalty, but a wide draw could scupper his chances. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on COME ON GIRL, who continues to knock on the door and she is handicapped to go well. Red Walls is another to consider.

BEAUZON isn't one for maximum faith given his slow starts but he lines up having capitalised on his much-reduced mark with a bit to spare over C&D on Sunday and could just be worth siding with to follow up under a penalty. Come On Girl finished a good second from an unpromising position at Southwell recently and she's feared, with My Boy Jack and One For The Ladies completing the shortlist.

Kept to his ideal scenario with Rossa Ryan booked, MY BOY JACK could well record a third C&D win. Beauzon is feared most.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +33%) Soames Forsyte		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Soames Forsyte 4/1, Refitted with cheekpieces, capitalised on career-low mark to shed maiden tag at Southwell (1m) 21 days ago, rallying close home and bagging share of the spoils on line. Up 2 lb and no reason why he won't give another good account. Game effort to dead-heat at Southwell latest (form franked); chance up just 2lb.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +56%) Green Power		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(2) Green Power 7/2, Latest win at Kempton in October. 20/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Placed over C&D the last twice but he'll need to squeeze out more to win today.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +45%) Win Win Power		3 3/1(+45%)																															(4) Win Win Power 3/1, Resurgent upon joining this yard, gaining fifth success of 2023 over C&D early last month, granted an untroubled passage up the inner and leading final 100 yds. Respectable fourth back here 4 weeks ago. Another expected to continue in form. Five wins in 2023, the latest over C&D last month; not seen to best effect latest; chance.
4	7 4th (7) (33/1 -32%) Eye Of The Water		33 33/1(-32%)																															(7) Eye Of The Water 33/1, Course winner. Latest win at Bath in August. Not at best when sixth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 51 days ago but comes here back on last winning mark and no surprise to see more positive tactics re-employed. Did well last year and back to his last winning mark; others may be stronger stayers today.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/4 +55%) Ring Of Gold		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(5) Ring Of Gold 9/4, Course winner who arrives on a losing run but he looked back in better heart returning from 7 weeks off when finishing a close-up fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 32 days ago. Back down to a potentially lenient mark and he's one to bear in mind. Handicapped to win and shaped well last time; a fast-run 7f probably his optimum though.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -25%) Showmedemoney		10 10/1(-25%)																															(1) Showmedemoney 10/1, Three wins from 18 runs last year. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago, weakening having led until 2f out. Others make greater appeal at present for all his mark is easing all the time. Three wins last year; dropping in grade today and he's one to take seriously.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 +15%) Robert Walpole		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Robert Walpole 28/1, 100/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 16 days ago. Hood refitted now but he's hard to warm to on recent evidence. Down in trip. Signs of a revival here last time and return of a hood should be beneficial; check market.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CEPHALUS is officially 4lb well-in having been narrowly denied at Southwell six days ago, and he appeals as the one to beat in a first-time visor. Soames Forsyte dead-heated for top honours at the same venue three weeks ago and another bold bid looks likely off just 2lb higher, while Win Win Power, who boasts a commendable record on the all-weather, must also be respected.

Having landed a big gamble at Lingfield last month, CEPHALUS more than backed up that effort when runner-up at Southwell 6 days ago, headed close home but nicely clear of the remainder. Now equipped with a first-time visor, he's expected to make another bold bid from what remains an exploitable mark. Ring of Gold is down to a lenient mark himself and he's a threat, particularly granted a good pace to aim at. Win Win Power can also make the frame.

Soames Forsyte and Showmedemoney can go well but CEPHALUS can resume winning ways now tried in a new visor.

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 -160%) Asgard's Captain		6.5 13/2(-160%)																															(7) Asgard's Captain 13/2, 11/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm), suited by increase in trip. 14lb higher now. Off 136 days. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Dowling. Unexposed and progressive over 1m+; hiked up the weights; check betting on stable debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +25%) Surprise Picture		6 6/1(+25%)																															(3) Surprise Picture 6/1, Course winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Becoming well treated. Course winner; mixed bag in recent starts but latest run a step back in right direction.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +8%) English Spirit		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(1) English Spirit 11/4, Bounced back to form to land a third career success in 11-runner handicap at this C&D 67 days ago, well positioned. Respected up 2 lb. Three-time course winner, the latest in November off 2lb lower; should go well again.
4	8 4th (8) (9/2 +36%) Kingwell		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(8) Kingwell 9/2, C&D winner. 13/8, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago. Likely to run well again. C&D winner last year; ended 2023 with some good C&D runs; each-way claims at least.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +0%) Admiral Nelson		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Admiral Nelson 12/1, Successful at Newcastle in December but failed to repeat that effort in a race that panned out very differently at Southwell (7.1f) 21 days ago. Up in trip. 7f winner on stable debut but less good last time and stamina has to be taken on trust.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -75%) Pembrokeshire		14 14/1(-75%)																															(5) Pembrokeshire 14/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in October and shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) 15 days ago, not much room from 2f out. Free-going 4yo who will need to step up on recent Newcastle efforts if he's to feature.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/2 -10%) Lunarscape		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(2) Lunarscape 11/2, First run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Not taken lightly. Placed on her last three starts; drop in trip should suit; cheekpieces now added.
8th	6 8th (6) (13/2 -30%) Mr Boson		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(6) Mr Boson 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden who proved a let-down when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) when last seen in May. Off since. Unexposed 4yo; absent since a poor turf run in May; earlier Kempton second was promising.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 8.5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Recent C&D winner ENGLISH SPIRIT was never far away in a race which it paid to sit prominently and, with a similar scenario likely to unfold here, Heather Main's gelding can repeat the dose. Lunarscape has been knocking on the door in recent starts so she could find more for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Pembrokeshire continues to fall down the weights and should not be underestimated.

The vote goes to LUNARSCAPE, who found only a well-treated pair too strong on her stable debut at this course 16 days ago. Asgard's Captain has been hit hard by the assessor for his wide-margin win at Musselburgh back in August but further improvement can't be ruled out on first start for Dylan Cunha. Surprise Picture has dropped to a handy mark and completes the shortlist having taken a step back in the right direction at Newcastle last time.

Kingwell and Lunarscape are high on the list but ENGLISH SPIRIT may be able to defy top weight and gain his fourth course win.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
