1	1 1st (1) (4/6 +59%) Storm Catcher		0.666667 4/6(+59%)																															(1) Storm Catcher 4/6, Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 33 days ago. Very much one to consider. Progressive handicapper; latest Newcastle 2nd was a cracking effort; this is weaker; solid.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -20%) Felix		4 4/1(-20%)																															(2) Felix 4/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 39 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers on 1st time. Worth taking a chance on. Third over C&D in a race not run to suit on Boxing Day; new headgear now reached for.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 -110%) Forca Timao		7 7/1(-110%)																															(5) Forca Timao 7/1, 9/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to bounce back. Better off with Storm Catcher on Lingfield run in November; failed to fire last time.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 -18%) Queen Of Ipanema		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(4) Queen Of Ipanema 13/2, 4-time course winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (9/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 16 days ago, cosily. Respected. 8-13 in handicaps, four of them here; more appealing than most.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 +0%) Woodstock City		20 20/1(+0%)																															(6) Woodstock City 20/1, Latest win at Deauville in August. Last of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Promising 3rd here on stable debut; less good since; step back up in trip a positive.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -75%) Aikhal		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Aikhal 28/1, 50/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 36 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do. First sign of revival for new yard when sixth at Southwell in December; others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Felix fared the best of those ridden off the pace when third on his most recent outing over C&D, but his tendency to be slowly away tempers enthusiasm slightly. With that in mind, preference goes to QUEEN OF IPANEMA, who was sporting first-time cheekpieces when landing the spoils over 1m3f at Southwell last month and, with the headgear retained, she can make a bold bid off 4lb higher. The quirky but talented Aikhal hasn't shown much on his three starts for this stable but he may be able to fill the frame.

FELIX is one that needs things to drop right but a more positive ride might be employed in first-time cheekpieces and he certainly shaped like he was a threat from this sort of mark over C&D last time, so he gets the marginal vote over Storm Catcher, who ran well at Newcastle a month ago. Queen of Ipanema is also considered.

The lack of any obvious pace is a concern but STORM CATCHER, who won a slowly run affair at Lingfield in November, gets the nod.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 -11%) Virtual Hug		5 5/1(-11%)																															(1) Virtual Hug 5/1, Course winner. One win from 28 Flat runs. 7/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly. Fourth of ten over 2m here two weeks ago and likely to be on the premises once more.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -125%) Stolen Encounter		9 9/1(-125%)																															(5) Stolen Encounter 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f). Off 9 months. Up in trip. Needs to take another step forward but he's still unexposed. Green first three starts; some improvement when fourth here last May; could be unexposed.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 +71%) Ocean Ridge		2 2/1(+71%)																															(8) Ocean Ridge 2/1, Good second of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (11f) 3 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Good staying-on second at Kempton on Wednesday evening; every chance if repeating the form.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -313%) Fandabidozi		33 33/1(-313%)																															(4) Fandabidozi 33/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 8 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Stratford (18.7f, soft) 156 days ago. Out of sorts when last seen in this sphere but returns on a handy mark as a result. 1-34; has been hurdling; potentially well treated and worth a market check after a break.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 +13%) Alioski		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(10) Alioski 13/2, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Not discounted for all that he's not been shaping as if he's well treated. Ran respectably when fifth of ten over C&D three weeks ago; ought to be thereabouts again.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/1 +44%) Casa Luna		9 9/1(+44%)																															(12) Casa Luna 9/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 14/1) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. 21-race maiden; placed three times in second half of 2023; should stay this far.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 -100%) Princess Nieve		66 66/1(-100%)																															(9) Princess Nieve 66/1, 150/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Visor back on. Something to find on form. Has struggled to make an impact since joining current yard; others look safer.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 -56%) Corsican Caper		14 14/1(-56%)																															(6) Corsican Caper 14/1, Winner at Southwell in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Not one to write off. Met trouble here last time having won at Southwell the previous week; should go well.
9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 -85%) Typewritten		12 12/1(-85%)																															(2) Typewritten 12/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Very good third of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 10/1) 18 days ago. Not sure to back that up. Well treated on last winter's form and went close over 1m6f last month; could have a say.
10th	7 10th (7) (11/1 +21%) Jenny Ren		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Jenny Ren 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Veteran with a solid record on this course; staying-on fifth three weeks ago; shortlisted.
11th	3 11th (3) (10/1 -33%) Rebecca West		10 10/1(-33%)																															(3) Rebecca West 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In front of Alioski and Hot Team when fourth over C&D; each-way claims if building on that.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 -450%) Hot Team		66 66/1(-450%)																															(11) Hot Team 66/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. May well be on the premises. Infrequent winner these days and will need to step up on latest fifth of nine at Newcastle.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

REBECCA WEST posted an eye-catching performance most recently when fourth over C&D last month and she could be able to make her presence felt. The unexposed Stolen Encounter may prove to be the main danger to the selection if he can build on his promising handicap debut over an extended 1m1f here last May. Jenny Ren and Ocean Ridge are others to note.

FANDABIDOZI doesn't have a compelling record on the Flat but he was running consistently well over hurdles when last seen and, as such, is worth a chance to defy a much-reduced mark. Virtual Hug and Typewritten both ran with credit last time, so they're also considered.

Unlike most of these, STOLEN ENCOUNTER may have some potential and he's a tentative selection to make a winning return from a break.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +56%) Berkshire Phantom		4 4/1(+56%)																															(6) Berkshire Phantom 4/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, very good third of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 28 days ago. Should give another good account if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Has come a long way down the weights and showed more last time in the new blinkers.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/2 -100%) Island Native		5.5 11/2(-100%)																															(7) Island Native 11/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in January. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 6/4) 10 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Visor on 1st time. Leading claims. In form and another positive ride can be expected back over 7f in the first-time visor.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +14%) Mokaatil		12 12/1(+14%)																															(8) Mokaatil 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Bit to prove. Had a wide trip here on his penultimate start but that made it 0-11 here.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +0%) Harriet's Angel		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(1) Harriet's Angel 5/2, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/4) 10 days ago. Still unexposed and looked more straightforward last time, so there could be more to come. Back from a break to win well at Kempton and the money came; up 6lb.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 +14%) To The Bar		12 12/1(+14%)																															(4) To The Bar 12/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Others more persuasive. First time in a Class 6 when finishing well from off the pace over C&D last week.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 +30%) Mitigator		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Mitigator 7/2, Course winner. Won 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 6/1) 21 days ago, finding extra. Should remain competitive. On a hat-trick after wins over further; should get a good pace to chase back at 7f.
7th	5 7th (5) (17/2 -42%) The Gay Blade		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(5) The Gay Blade 17/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago. Likely to be back on his game with return to this trip in his favour. 6f-7f wins before finding 5f too sharp; probably still on a competitive mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -57%) Back From Dubai		22 22/1(-57%)																															(9) Back From Dubai 22/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Gives his running more often than not, so could bounce back. Best at Southwell but effective here and latest race reportedly came too soon.
9th	11 9th (11) (150/1 -127%) Cailin Saoirse		150 150/1(-127%)																															(11) Cailin Saoirse 150/1, C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 14 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Has suffered six major disappointments since winning over this far at Southwell a year ago.
10th	10 10th (10) (150/1 -200%) Grand Style		150 150/1(-200%)																															(10) Grand Style 150/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 125/1). Off 152 days. Others are more appealing. Some promise in four French runs but beat only one rival in three starts for this yard.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick chasing Mitigator and Harriet's Angel both command respect based on recent winning form. That said, The Gay Blade and Island Native have also been on the scoresheet lately and look to make this competitive. Nevertheless, given that he runs off 21lb lower than his last winning mark, none appeal more than BERKSHIRE PHANTOM in handicapping terms. A previous C&D winner, the selection is highly tempting with the blinkers retained.

Having scored in good style at Chelmsford, ISLAND NATIVE went a bit too hard at Lingfield last time and, in a first-time visor, he's fancied to get back to winning ways at the likely expense of Harriet's Angel, who returned from 4 months off with an impressive display at Kempton 10 days ago. Mitigator, another last-time-out winner, is also considered.

The money came for HARRIET'S ANGEL when she won well at Kempton after a break and she's open to further progress.

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.
