(6) Muddy Mooy 15/8, Twice-raced winner. First run since leaving Barry Brennan when second of 11 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 44 days ago, clear of the rest. Sets a good standard. Won at Chelmsford for Barry Brennan, then went close at Southwell; leading player.

2nd (1) (7/4 -17%) Sovereign Sea
1.75
7/4(-17%)
(1) Sovereign Sea 7/4, Twice-raced winner. Successful at Newcastle in November. 10/3, second of 9 in a novice event back at that course (8f) 32 days ago. Leading contender. Both starts at Newcastle; won readily in November then went close last month; respected.

3rd (7) (9/4 +63%) Nahy
2.25
9/4(+63%)
(7) Nahy 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, fourth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Down in trip and he has a bit to find with Muddy Mooy, a rival he finished around 6½ lengths behind at Southwell in December. Outstayed over 1m3f last time, nevertheless showing ability; frame possibilities.

4th (3) (18/1 +28%) Always A Star
18
18/1(+28%)
(3) Always A Star 18/1, Last of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Sandown (8f, soft) on debut 17 months ago. Entitled to come on for the run. Absent since inauspicious debut 17 months ago.

28
28/1(-250%)
(5) Lechuga Lad 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/2 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 6 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) 31 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Fared better in a hood last time; possibilities if able to progress further.
6th

6th (11) (66/1 -164%) Miss Applejack
66
66/1(-164%)
(11) Miss Applejack 66/1, Once-raced maiden on Flat. Poor winner at 20f over hurdles. 3/1, 1¼ lengths second of 4 to Fashionelle in novice at this course (9.5f) on debut in this sphere 17 days ago. Will find easier opportunities than this. Bumper/hurdles winner; second to Fashionelle here on Flat debut (modest form).
7th

7th (4) (28/1 -12%) Blackwaterfoot
28
28/1(-12%)
(4) Blackwaterfoot 28/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f, 80/1) on debut. Off 166 days. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. Muddy Mooy is presumably the stable No 1. Midfield in Chelmsford maiden on sole run for Dominic Ffrench Davis.
8th
2
8th (2) (33/1 -32%) Fashionelle
33
33/1(-32%)
(2) Fashionelle 33/1, Hurdles winner. Landed a 4-runner Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) on second start on the Flat, proving 1¼ lengths too strong for the re-opposing Miss Applejack (5 lb pull). This is tougher. Hurdles winner; beat Miss Applejack in weak event here last month; this is harder.
9th
12
9th (12) (33/1 0%) Penny's Spirit
33
33/1(0%)
(12) Penny's Spirit 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Needs to raise her game. Plenty to find on form; handicaps more suitable shortly.
10th
10
10th (10) (250/1 -150%) Wild Nephin
250
250/1(-150%)
(10) Wild Nephin 250/1, Fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy, 11/10) 14 days ago. Opposable on Flat debut. Irish point winner; 0-5 over hurdles; enough to prove on Flat debut.
11th

11th (9) (250/1 -25%) Paradise Circus
250
250/1(-25%)
(9) Paradise Circus 250/1, Once-raced maiden on Flat. 300/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Kempton (11f) on flat debut 22 days ago. Down in trip. Duck eggs in bumper and Flat contest.

250
250/1(-25%)
(8) Opera King 250/1, Once-raced maiden on Flat. First run since leaving Nigel Twiston-Davies when last of 10 in maiden (150/1) at Southwell (8.1f) on debut in this sphere 25 days ago. Completely tailed off at Southwell on Flat debut.
16:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SOVEREIGN SEA was impressive when he made a winning debut at Newcastle last November and was just denied by another promising type when attempting to follow up under a penalty at the same venue last month. The son of Ten Sovereigns did little wrong on that occasion and is hard to oppose given he sets a decent standard here. The well-bred Nahy is feared most on his third run after showing some improvement over 1m3f at Kempton last month. Miss Applejack and Penny's Spirit also warrant betting checks.
MUDDY MOOY found only a well-touted newcomer too good when bidding to make it 2-2 back from 11 months off at Southwell in December, form which the winner did no harm when going close at Kempton next time. She gets the nod ahead of the Roger Varian-trained Sovereign Sea, who hasn't done anything wrong in his two starts so far and looks a big threat, despite conceding weight all round. Nahy looks held by the selection but he has a good chance of picking up minor place money.
With further progress plausible, SOVEREIGN SEA is taken to defy top weight. Muddy Mooy is the chief danger on form.
(8) Star Of Jupiter 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden who again showed little when seventh of 8 in maiden at this C&D 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has weak form claims; fitting of headgear needs to make a difference.
2
9
2nd (9) (4/1 +11%) Sun Festival
4
4/1(+11%)
(9) Sun Festival 4/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 15/2, good second of 9 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be in the thick of the action with a repeat. Good results in two classified attempts, including solid second over C&D last time.
3
5
3rd (5) (8/13 +51%) Marinakis
0.615385
8/13(+51%)
(5) Marinakis 8/13, Modest gelding. Winner at Chelmsford City in January. 5/4, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 22 days ago. Form choice. Off the mark at Chelmsford on classified debut; placed in handicaps since; respected.
4
10
4th (10) (8/1 -45%) Zumaaty
8
8/1(-45%)
(10) Zumaaty 8/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. 18/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good). Off 124 days. Recorded sole AW win in better race over C&D exactly two years ago; interesting.
5th
1
5th (1) (8/1 -23%) Daring Leader
8
8/1(-23%)
(1) Daring Leader 8/1, Modest gelding. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f). Off 138 days. Significantly back down in trip. Maiden who lacks consistency but has possibilities on classified debut.
6th
4
6th (4) (16/1 +52%) Hannasboy
16
16/1(+52%)
(4) Hannasboy 16/1, Green when well held all 3 starts to date. Thrice-raced gelding who has far-from-solid claims on form.
7th
6
7th (6) (22/1 -83%) Reverberation
22
22/1(-83%)
(6) Reverberation 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 14/1) 12 days ago. Possibilities in this grade. Fighting chance on these terms but has inconsistent form for new yard.
8th
2
8th (2) (100/1 -52%) Devilwala
100
100/1(-52%)
(2) Devilwala 100/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 125/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. On a long losing spell and his form has deteriorated.
9th
7
9th (7) (22/1 -38%) Rivas Rob Roy
22
22/1(-38%)
(7) Rivas Rob Roy 22/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 but fared better than of late when fourth of 10 in minor event (22/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Has frame possibilities judged on two C&D classified efforts this year.
17:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MARINAKIS has been consistent since returning from a short break and being stepped up in trip. Furthermore, dropping into a classified stakes can see the son of Ulysses make the most of what appears to be a golden opportunity for him to double his career tally. Sun Festival and Rivas Rob Roy are other solid options based on their peak efforts, while Reverberation can also figure if staging a revival.
MARINAKIS has found his feet since returning from a 3-month break and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his career tally. Sun Festival and Reverberation head the dangers.
On the back of a solid C&D effort, SUN FESTIVAL could well go one better. Marinakis is second choice.
(4) Marvellous Lady 6/5, Failed to justify market support in a course classified event on her first run for James Owen but worth another chance in first-time headgear. Out of the frame in Ireland; favourite on recent yard debut when 5th; this trip can suit.
2
6
2nd (6) (40/1 -100%) Tenyatta
40
40/1(-100%)
(6) Tenyatta 40/1, Course winner, her sole win from 21 starts. 33/1, first run since leaving James Owen when seventh of 8 in classified event at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Up and down for J Owen and didn't do enough on yard debut to fancy today.
3
8
3rd (8) (13/2 -8%) Venus Slipper
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(8) Venus Slipper 13/2, Poor maiden but did produced one of her better recent efforts when fourth of 9 in 1m Chelmsford handicap 12 days ago. First-time blinkers won on that occasion are retained. Possibilities on AW form last spring but she seems to have lost her way.
4
5
4th (5) (10/3 +79%) Sunset In Paris
3.333333
10/3(+79%)
(5) Sunset In Paris 10/3, C&D winner. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Has struggled badly in recent starts but well capable in this grade if staging a revival. Won 4 classifieds in 2024; some ordinary handicap runs of late but this is his level.
5th
7
5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Twistaline
18
18/1(-50%)
(7) Twistaline 18/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 11/1, fifth of 8 in similar event at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago, merely closing up late. Five AW wins, including C&D; mixed this winter but capable of going well on best efforts.
6th
2
6th (2) (17/2 -6%) Break Point
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(2) Break Point 17/2, Maiden. Sixth of 9 in C&D classified event (33/1) 15 days ago. Others are preferred again. Had ability as a 3yo but has shown very little in the last year, including in classifieds.
7th
10
7th (10) (40/1 +0%) Winding Road
40
40/1(+0%)
(10) Winding Road 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 8 in classified event at Southwell (1½m) 11 days ago. Down in trip. Minor promise over 1m3f; well held in 1m4f classified latest; this trip might work better.
8th
9
8th (9) (15/2 +53%) Where Is The Love
7.5
15/2(+53%)
(9) Where Is The Love 15/2, 17/2, last of 10 in C&D classified race 15 days ago. Blinkered first time. Chance on best AW form in 2024 but has achieved little since, including in C&D classified.
9th
1
9th (1) (40/1 +20%) Artemesia
40
40/1(+20%)
(1) Artemesia 40/1, No form in maidens in the autumn. More realistic chance at this level but would still need to see market support to consider. Out the back over 6f-7f; step up in trip can only help but future surely lies over jumps.
17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BRINTON posted a solid effort when finishing third over the extended mile here on Saturday night and appeals with the additional yardage likely to be beneficial given the way that race panned out. A sharper start could also help Jonathan Portman's four-year-old and she might be tough to resist if this doesn't come around too soon. Marvellous Lady could be the chief danger if revved up by the first-time visor, while Venus Slipper should also be competitive in a weak event such as this.
MARVELLOUS LADY failed to fire when a strong favourite on her first outing for James Owen but can be given another chance to show her excellent new trainer has turned her around with a visor added this time. The obvious danger is Brinton, who had the selection behind her here last month and placed in another course classified event last weekend.
Marvellous Lady remains of interest but BRINTON can surely find a race sooner rather than later.
(2) Lord Rapscallion 10/3, 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f) 24 days ago. Should remain competitive up 7 lb. Came well clear at Lingfield (7f) latest; back up 7lb and lesser Tapeta form so far.
2
9
2nd (9) (16/1 +52%) Harbour Vision
16
16/1(+52%)
(9) Harbour Vision 16/1, Added 2 more C&D wins in November but the handicapper has looked in charge since. Two C&D wins in November; easy to back and well held in both starts since; other days.
3
1
3rd (1) (6/1 +50%) Serenity Dream
6
6/1(+50%)
(1) Serenity Dream 6/1, 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 31 days ago. Drawn widest. Others more persuasive. Looked to be finding some form again two starts ago; stiff task latest; trip query now.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 +33%) Starshiba
4
4/1(+33%)
(3) Starshiba 4/1, Course winner. Got his head back in front at Lingfield on the final day of 2024 and not seen to best effect on both runs since. Can be treated as if still in form. Multiple AW winner for different yards, latest in December; never involved over C&D since.
5th
4
5th (4) (5/2 +38%) Fools Rush In
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(4) Fools Rush In 5/2, Won 8-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago, well on top finish. Respected after only a 2 lb nudge. Multiple winner with solid record here and gained 3rd win since September over C&D latest.
6th
11
6th (11) (12/1 +33%) Granary Queen
12
12/1(+33%)
(11) Granary Queen 12/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (7f, good), having to pick way through. Off 8 months. Fairly handicapped if ready to roll after a break. Versatile trip-wise; below best last summer but well treated and can go well fresh.
7th
10
7th (10) (66/1 -65%) Three Yorkshiremen
66
66/1(-65%)
(10) Three Yorkshiremen 66/1, Won on AW last spring but no show since, including last of 11 at Southwell (7f, 150/1) 27 days ago. AW winner at Chelmsford (1m2f) last spring but ropey form since; course debut.
8th
12
8th (12) (66/1 -100%) The Rain King
66
66/1(-100%)
(12) The Rain King 66/1, Absent since finishing eighth of 14 at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April 2024. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn. Best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Two turf wins at 1m; off since April 2023; all to prove under the conditions; new yard.
9th
6
9th (6) (11/2 +50%) Hello Miss Lady
5.5
11/2(+50%)
(6) Hello Miss Lady 11/2, Winner at Lingfield in September. 11/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 20 days ago. Back down 3f in trip. Path hasn't been smooth in handicaps over further but looks worth another go at 7f.
10th
7
10th (7) (40/1 -21%) Soar Above
40
40/1(-21%)
(7) Soar Above 40/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago. Could only consider if backed. All eight AW wins at Kempton; down the field in both 7f starts since back from break.
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LORD RAPSCALLION was unfortunate at Lingfield on his penultimate outing but he was able to gain compensation over the same C&D next time, coming clear in fine style, and a subsequent 7lb rise should not be any barrier to further success. Three-time C&D winner City Cyclone couldn't quite reel in the leaders over 6f last time but a return to further will benefit and he looks to be one of the main threats, alongside Fools Rush In, who is only 2lb higher than his recent C&D triumph.
CITY CYCLONE can show he's still on a good mark now back at 7f. Like the selection, Fools Rush In tasted success over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Starshiba, who hasn't had the rub of the green since resuming winning ways at Lingfield on New Year's Eve.
This can go to CITY CYCLONE who defends an unbeaten record over C&D and looked to have a bit up his sleeve in his latest win.
(2) Heathen 9/2, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. Fourth of 5 in handicap there (16.5f, 6/5) 60 days ago. Likely to again find one or two too good. 1-1 over this trip; goes well fresh; interesting on return from two-month break.
2
3
2nd (3) (5/1 +9%) Optician
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Optician 5/1, Five-time course winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year, the latest here in December. 3/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. Record of 5-10 at Wolverhampton and 3-3 in course starts under Rossa Ryan.
3
6
3rd (6) (15/2 -114%) Swinging London
7.5
15/2(-114%)
(6) Swinging London 15/2, Latest win at Southwell in January. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/4) at that course (14.1f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely to give a good account. Last nine races have resulted in form figures of 322211413; solid contender.
4
1
4th (1) (5/4 +23%) Path To Dubai
1.25
5/4(+23%)
(1) Path To Dubai 5/4, 4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 25 days ago, just failing (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Up 4 lb. Can go well again. Low-mileage 4yo whose Southwell reappearance form has been boosted; warrants respect.
5th
5
5th (5) (7/2 +22%) Kitty Foyle
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(5) Kitty Foyle 7/2, C&D winner. Very good 4 lengths third of 7 to Jubilee Alpha in listed hurdle (40/1) at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Successful latest start in this sphere at Goodwood last summer. Ran well in Listed grade on latest hurdles start; successful in last two 1m6f attempts.
6th
4
6th (4) (100/1 -52%) Kolisi
100
100/1(-52%)
(4) Kolisi 100/1, 50/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and sports cheekpieces for the first time in this sphere. Opposable. Has lost his form over hurdles; raced mostly at 1m2f under this code.
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PATH TO DUBAI was awarded the race in the stewards' room at Southwell last month and a 4lb rise looks far from insurmountable, especially after the disqualified winner bolted up at Newcastle on Saturday. James Tate's gelding is expected to double his tally at the main expense of Heathen, who may appreciate a drop in trip having failed to see out the extended 2m at Southwell in December. Swinging London can chase the pair home.
The vote goes to KITTY FOYLE, who landed a Goodwood handicap on her latest appearance on the Flat and is appealing on the back of a highly creditable effort in a mares' listed novice hurdle at Taunton last month. Swinging London is pretty consistent and is just about second choice ahead of Path To Dubai.
Most of the runners bring good stats and/or solid credentials. The percentage call goes to PATH TO DUBAI, ahead of Kitty Foyle.
(6) Piperstown 7/4, 2/1, career best when winning 10-runner minor event at this C&D 17 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick back in handicap company. Two classified wins last month took his record this winter to 3-4; improving steadily.
2
9
2nd (9) (16/1 -14%) Miss Moonshine
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Miss Moonshine 16/1, Ninth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, hampered. Easy to look elsewhere. Attractively handicapped but needs to improve on her form this winter.
3
1
3rd (1) (10/1 -67%) Coolagh Magic
10
10/1(-67%)
(1) Coolagh Magic 10/1, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 11/1) 9 days ago, suited by way race developed. More needed back up in trip under a penalty here but couldn't rule out all the same. Suited by the return to Lingfield nine days ago; incurs 4lb penalty for that win.
4
4
4th (4) (11/2 +31%) Rogue Thunder
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(4) Rogue Thunder 11/2, C&D winner in December. 7/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Others make more appeal on this occasion. Consistent over C&D this winter until form dipped last time; may rebound.
5th
8
5th (8) (8/1 -33%) Tantomile
8
8/1(-33%)
(8) Tantomile 8/1, Very good second of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago, just failing. Another bold show anticipated. Eight-race maiden; went very close at Newcastle most recently, looking unlucky.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/1 -100%) Back Tomorrow
9
9/1(-100%)
(2) Back Tomorrow 9/1, Notched third C&D success when winning a 9-runner minor event (5/2) 17 days ago, dead-heating with Combustion, who is set to renew rivalry. Likely to be on the premises. Dead-heated in classified event last time to complete a C&D hat-trick; respected.
7th
5
7th (5) (12/1 +25%) Tommytwohoots
12
12/1(+25%)
(5) Tommytwohoots 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in October. 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Place possibilities. Consistent at Newcastle this winter; has gained both AW wins over C&D.
8th
10
8th (10) (66/1 -65%) Hi Hoh Tonto
66
66/1(-65%)
(10) Hi Hoh Tonto 66/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 50/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, AW) 18 days ago. Back up in trip and he's probably worth taking on. Maiden; unconvincing efforts this year for new stable.
9th
3
9th (3) (5/1 +9%) Ignac Lamar
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Ignac Lamar 5/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 5/1) 38 days ago. Each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. Most recent attempt under Robert Havlin resulted in a win off 4lb higher last Feb.
19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A number of these arrive in fine form so this looks open, and only a tentative vote can go to BACK TOMORROW, who completed her hat-trick when dead-heating in classified company with the reopposing Combustion. The pair meet on identical terms once again and look certain to be closely matched, but a wide draw will be no help to the latter. Piperstown seeks a hat-trick of his own and should go well, while others to note include Tantomile and Coolagh Magic.
TANTOMILE took a step forward when going agonisingly close at Newcastle recently, a race she probably would've won but for encountering traffic problems at a crucial stage. The 4-y-o is taken to go one better here. Piperstown, a winner of back-to-back classified events last month, is feared most ahead of recent C&D dead-heaters Back Tomorrow and Combustion.
The suggestion is IGNAC LAMAR who looks interesting with Robert Havlin back on board. Piperstown is second pick.
(4) Bungle Bay 11/4, 5-time course winner. Latest win here in December. 6/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago. Can go very well off an unchanged mark. Last year's 3 wins were over 7f here; fair 2nd on return to 6f latest; contender.
2
2
2nd (2) (10/3 +17%) Silky Robin
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(2) Silky Robin 10/3, 15/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 31 days ago, no match for winner. Surrounded by subsequent winners that day so a must for the shortlist. Creditable 2nd to subsequent winner in only his 2nd run over 6f; contender off same mark.

3rd (3) (7/1 -17%) Bossy Parker
7
7/1(-17%)
(3) Bossy Parker 7/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Evens, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 15 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Both wins at 7f here; rarely runs over 6f now but wasn't far away over C&D in September.

4th (5) (33/1 -175%) Star Of Atlantis
33
33/1(-175%)
(5) Star Of Atlantis 33/1, Winner at Southwell in January. Sixth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7.2f) 24 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Jones. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Early handicaps at 1m; creditable first 6f run before off the mark over 7f; new yard.
5th

5th (6) (14/1 -155%) Bankrupt
14
14/1(-155%)
(6) Bankrupt 14/1, 11/2, landed 9-runner minor event at Lingfield (5f, AW) 18 days ago, always holding on. Back up in trip. This course winner must enter calculations. Lay fallow in 2024; back on song now, made all latest (5f); effective over C&D; claims.
6th

6th (9) (13/2 +59%) Vivency
6.5
13/2(+59%)
(9) Vivency 13/2, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 6/1) 4 days ago. Possibilities. Latest win in May 2022 but best run for a while back over 6f in January; not so good since.
7th

7th (1) (6/1 -50%) Galileo Glass
6
6/1(-50%)
(1) Galileo Glass 6/1, Course winner. Good second of 8 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7.2f) 15 days ago, well positioned. Eyeshields/blinkers back on and well in the mix. First 6f run since winning as a 2yo but speedy and bold show likely.
8th

8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Jumira Bridge
33
33/1(+0%)
(8) Jumira Bridge 33/1, 3-time C&D winner, including in this event 12 months ago. 100/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 26 days ago, very slowly away, so needs to get back on track. Four sprint wins here; below best since break but weighted to pounce at some stage.
9th

9th (7) (6/1 +40%) Red Walls
6
6/1(+40%)
(7) Red Walls 6/1, 5-time course winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Latest win here in January. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly. C&D winner last month; good 2nd to well-treated rival since; lesser effort latest.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BUNGLE BAY has returned to form on his most recent outings, including when scoring here over 7f before Christmas, and James Evans' gelding is more than capable of going one better after his latest second at Newcastle. The drop a furlong is likely to suit Galileo Glass following his recent second at this track. Others to consider are Lingfield winner Bankrupt and Silky Robin.
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for multiple course scorer BUNGLE BAY who can race off the same mark as when a good second at Newcastle last time. Bankrupt heads the list of dangers on the back of his Lingfield success with Red Walls, Galileo Glass and Silky Robin also in the picture.
This should be run at a brisk pace which will suit last year's winner JUMIRA BRIDGE for whom a return to form can't be ruled out.
(2) Maharajas Express 4/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Raced freely when only fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (13/8) 29 days ago. Weighted to go well if back on his A-game. Beaten favourite the last twice but hasn't totally lost his form; not written off.

12/1(+25%)
(3) Basholo 12/1, 4-time C&D winner. Four wins from 14 runs last year. 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 12 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won off this mark here in December but was in better form at the time.

6
3rd (6) (3/1 +40%) Apache Star
3
3/1(+40%)
(6) Apache Star 3/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 29 days ago. Needs considering. Couple of respectable C&D efforts since wearing blinkers, beaten 1l both times.
4
11
4th (11) (7/1 +36%) Gypsy Nation
7
7/1(+36%)
(11) Gypsy Nation 7/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago. Recent efforts suggest this return to 5f is worth exploring but he's not solid.
5th
9
5th (9) (150/1 -50%) Himawari
150
150/1(-50%)
(9) Himawari 150/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap (125/1) at this C&D 36 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Maiden whose form has dipped markedly since joining current yard.
6th
5
6th (5) (6/1 -9%) Papa Don't Preach
6
6/1(-9%)
(5) Papa Don't Preach 6/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 29 days ago, never nearer after a slow start. Enters calculations off a 2 lb lower mark. Infrequent winner who comes with risk but has possibilities off current mark.
7th
10
7th (10) (10/1 +44%) Spanish Angel
10
10/1(+44%)
(10) Spanish Angel 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. 16/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Seventeen runs since last win and opposable. A stone below last winning mark but has weak claims on recent form.
7th
4
7th (4) (18/1 -80%) So Obsessed
18
18/1(-80%)
(4) So Obsessed 18/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. Solid third of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 22 days ago, well positioned. Ought to be in the shake-up. Not solid on recent form but has possibilities if building on latest effort.
9th
1
9th (1) (11/1 +31%) Big Time Rascal
11
11/1(+31%)
(1) Big Time Rascal 11/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 40/1) 22 days ago. In the mix. Still a maiden but is interesting off a reduced mark with this return to 5f a plus.
10th
8
10th (8) (6/1 +0%) Second Collection
6
6/1(+0%)
(8) Second Collection 6/1, 4-time course scorer, latest in December. Good second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 9 days ago. Player off the same mark for yard among the winners. Form figures of 1442 since wearing blinkers, the win over C&D; in the mix.
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
STATE OF MADNESS has been knocking on the door on both his appearances here in 2025 and this could be the opportunity for the four-year-old to gain a first career success. Second Collection has to enter calculations racing off the same mark as her recent second at Lingfield, while Apache Star edges out So Obsessed to be best of the rest.
Tony Carroll has his string in great nick so his SECOND COLLECTION is fancied to build on her recent good Lingfield second and bag a fifth course victory. Maharajas Express is weighted to have a big say though, especially if settling better here, while Papa Don't Preach, Apache Star and State of Madness can also have a say in this competitive sprint.
The suggestion is BIG TIME RASCAL who looks interesting off an attractive mark back at 5f. State Of Madness is second choice.
(6) Sax Appeal 13/2, 11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Took well to first-time blinkers in C&D event ten days ago; enters calculations.
2
9
2nd (9) (8/1 +11%) Gozo
8
8/1(+11%)
(9) Gozo 8/1, Off 6 months since a below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 3/1). Needs to hit the ground running. Below best in both runs last year and remains a maiden on the Flat.
3
4
3rd (4) (2/1 -14%) Wonder
2
2/1(-14%)
(4) Wonder 2/1, Course winner in November. 7/4, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (14f) 38 days ago. Remains low mileage and he merits serious consideration off the same mark. Has form figures of 142 since switched to AW; solid effort here last time; respected.
4
8
4th (8) (17/2 +29%) Met Office
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(8) Met Office 17/2, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not dismissed. Inconsistent but sole attempt at Wolverhampton resulted in a win off 4lb higher.
5th
5
5th (5) (22/1 -10%) Lexington Knight
22
22/1(-10%)
(5) Lexington Knight 22/1, 3-time C&D winner but last of 7 in handicap at this course (14f, 11/1) 38 days ago. Unreliable individual. Third off 4lb higher in this race last year; place claims if back to that form.
6th
1
6th (1) (5/1 +23%) Crystal Mariner
5
5/1(+23%)
(1) Crystal Mariner 5/1, 5/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 39 days ago. Others appeal more. Best effort for new stable when second off this mark at Kempton two starts ago.
7th
7
7th (7) (22/1 -57%) Brodie's Boy
22
22/1(-57%)
(7) Brodie's Boy 22/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Something to find on form. Mixed results for new stable but could go well in new headgear.
8th
2
8th (2) (8/1 -33%) Alpine Oasis
8
8/1(-33%)
(2) Alpine Oasis 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs last year. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/2) 25 days ago, finding little. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Made all for comfortable win at Southwell in December; disappointing last time.
9th
3
9th (3) (14/1 +44%) Ocean Heights
14
14/1(+44%)
(3) Ocean Heights 14/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 33/1). Off 99 days. Makes tapeta debut. Has fallen to a workable mark if back on song. Most of his AW form is at Kempton; something to prove on first run here.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WONDER has shown enough promise on both handicap starts to suggest he is likely to be winning a race of this nature sooner rather than later. The four-year-old chased home a subsequent winner over further here last month and the drop in trip looks ideal. Sax Appeal took advantage of first-time blinkers when bouncing back to form last time and is a big danger if the headgear works again. Crystal Mariner and Alpine Oasis head the remainder.
WONDER remains with few miles on the clock so James Fanshawe's 4-y-o is fancied to build on his good second here last time out and bag a second course success. C&D winner Met Office is feared most ahead of fellow C&D scorer Sax Appeal and the handily-weighted Ocean Heights.
The finale can go to WONDER (nap), who likely still has further improvement in him. Sax Appeal is second choice.

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.

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.
