The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(6) Charlie's Choice 18/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 5/1) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Excuses last time and would be a danger to all if getting a solid pace to chase.

2nd (1) (5/2 0%) King's Code
2.5
5/2(0%)
(1) King's Code 5/2, Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 19 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Closing fourth here 16 days ago (behind Eagle Day) and he remains in good form.

3rd (4) (8/1 -7%) Helm Rock
8
8/1(-7%)
(4) Helm Rock 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. 7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 30 days ago. Opposable from a win point of view. Hasn't been at his best the last twice and faces some in-form opposition here.

4th (7) (14/1 +22%) Caramay
14
14/1(+22%)
(7) Caramay 14/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 10 runs last year. Creditable 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Charlie's Choice in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 16/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip and she looks vulnerable. Up in grade but has been in terrific form for a while now on the Tapeta.

5th (2) (2/1 +0%) Fast Society
2
2/1(+0%)
(2) Fast Society 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 6/1, good second of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 20 days ago, sticking to task. Should make his presence felt. Second here 20 days ago and might well improve again for this longer distance.
6th

6th (3) (5/1 +17%) Eagle Day
5
5/1(+17%)
(3) Eagle Day 5/1, Four-time course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Contender. It took a well-handicapped rival to reel him in over C&D 16 days ago; every chance.
7th

7th (5) (10/1 +9%) Way Of Life
10
10/1(+9%)
(5) Way Of Life 10/1, Course winner. Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 88 days ago. Back down in trip and he's likely to again find a few too good. Stuck on a losing run and he's done all his winning at a lower level.
16:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FAST SOCIETY produced a career-best effort when beaten a length into second at this level over an extended mile here last month and is only 3lb higher now. Andrew Balding's four-year-old could have more to offer on only his third handicap start and may prove tough to beat. Eagle Day is a four-time course winner who only found one too good over track and trip at the start of the month and should go well again, while King's Code is another to take seriously.
The vote goes to KING'S CODE, who wasn't disgraced when bidding for the hat-trick over this C&D recently and he is taken to reverse the placings with the re-opposing runner-up that day, Eagle Day, and resume winning ways. The latter should again be on the premises but King's Code may have most to fear from lightly-raced 4-y-o Fast Society.
Still lightly raced and with today's extra yardage promising to suit, recent course runner-up FAST SOCIETY is preferred in a tight race.
(12) Paradoxical 11/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (9.5f, 10/3) 7 days ago, better placed than most. Merits consideration. In fine form and avoids a penalty for latest win; high on list if getting a good pace.
2
10
2nd (10) (10/1 +17%) Calanthe
10
10/1(+17%)
(10) Calanthe 10/1, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Just 1lb above sole winning mark and fourth over C&D the last twice; frame material again.

3rd (2) (9/2 +18%) Straight A
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(2) Straight A 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Good second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 3/1) 12 days ago, running on. Back up in trip. In good form lately including a C&D win; major player back under these conditions.

4th (8) (7/2 +46%) Tea Sea
3.5
7/2(+46%)
(8) Tea Sea 7/2, Course winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 8/11) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Can make presence felt again. Only does the minimum and just 2lb higher in his bid for the four-timer; much respected.
5th

5th (11) (12/1 +0%) Berkshire Phantom
12
12/1(+0%)
(11) Berkshire Phantom 12/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 7/2) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Two C&D wins early last year; 4lb below last winning mark, but twice held since returning.
6th

6th (5) (12/1 +0%) Ciotog

12/1(+0%)
(5) Ciotog 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago, very slowly away. Dual C&D winner including last month; fair third at Kempton last time; a player back here.
7th

7th (3) (50/1 +0%) Cosmos Raj
50
50/1(+0%)
(3) Cosmos Raj 50/1, C&D winner. 66/1, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago. Dual C&D winner this time last year but has finished last in both starts since returning.
8th

8th (6) (7/2 -75%) Overnight Oats
3.5
7/2(-75%)
(6) Overnight Oats 7/2, C&D winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Won 8-runner handicap (11/4) at Southwell (8.1f) 3 days ago, last to first. Has to be taken seriously. Has won six of his last ten starts including on Friday; drawn wide but still respected.
9th

9th (1) (22/1 +12%) Caelan
22
22/1(+12%)
(1) Caelan 22/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Marco Botti when sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 28/1) 10 days ago. May need this again. 2-7 for Marco Botti but well held on stable debut at Lingfield ten days ago.
10th

10th (4) (11/1 +56%) Dawn Of Liberation
11
11/1(+56%)
(4) Dawn Of Liberation 11/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago. Losing run up to 21 despite a plummeting mark; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen.
17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Tea Sea justified short odds over 7f at Southwell on his latest outing to complete a hat-trick, but a 2lb rise makes life tougher. With that in mind, PARADOXICAL gets the vote. The son of Saxon Warrior appreciated the application of cheekpieces when scoring over an extended 1m1f here last week and can cope with this slight drop in trip to record a double. Straight A also arrives in good form and isn't out of it either.
OVERNIGHT OATS has been a serial winner for this yard and he remains on the upgrade judged on his stylish win at Southwell on Friday. He's likely to make another bold bid off a similar mark and is preferred to the thriving Tea Sea. Paradoxical may prove best of the others.
This can go to STRAIGHT A who is 2-4 at this track and who ran really well when narrowly beaten at Kempton last time.
(6) Maaz 14/1, €41,000 yearling, €72,000 2-y-o, Galiway gelding. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner from family of 1000 Guineas/Coronation Stakes winner Ghanaati. Has speed and stamina in pedigree and market should guide on debut.
2
3
2nd (3) (30/100 +67%) Bryant
0.3
30/100(+67%)
(3) Bryant 30/100, 220,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Evergreen. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 1¼m. 9/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at York (7.9f, heavy) on debut, not knocked about. Off 128 days. Up in trip. Sets a fair standard and should progress. Shaped with promise behind some useful prospects at Yarmouth; key player on his return.
3
8
3rd (8) (10/1 -100%) Kintbury
10
10/1(-100%)
(8) Kintbury 10/1, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Galactic Jack. Dam winner up to 9.4f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner) who stayed 1½m (runner-up in Irish Oaks). Well-bred filly and she needs watching in the market on debut.
4

4th (4) (6/1 +14%) El Ghaawy
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) El Ghaawy 6/1, 90,000 gns foal, Ghaiyyath gelding. Closely related to 3 winners, including useful 7f-1¼m winner Song of Life and 11f/1½m winner Allowed and half-brother to 9f-11f winner Avec Laura. Dam lightly raced. 90,000gns foal; plenty to like on paper and he's an interesting newcomer.
5th

5th (5) (200/1 -100%) Itsgottobefun
200
200/1(-100%)
(5) Itsgottobefun 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 200/1) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Tailed off at 200-1 in his two runs over 1m this winter; headgear is now added.
6th

6th (2) (9/1 -38%) Big Take
9
9/1(-38%)
(2) Big Take 9/1, €20,000 foal, 24,000 gns yearling, Australia colt. Brother to useful US winner around 5f Just A Care and half-brother to winner in Italy by Ten Sovereigns. Dam Australian 6f winner out of US 2-y-o Grade 3 6f winner Necessary Evil. Yard 19% in maidens last year and he needs a close look on debut.
7th

7th (7) (28/1 -133%) Blu Chic
28
28/1(-133%)
(7) Blu Chic 28/1, Ghaiyyath filly. Closely related to 1m winner Superb Force and half-sister to 3 winners, including high-class winner up to 1½m Best Solution. Dam maiden (stayed 8.3f). Yard 1-31 in maidens last year and is best watched unless market is persuasive.
8th

8th (1) (50/1 -25%) All About George
50
50/1(-25%)
(1) All About George 50/1, Tasleet gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Emerald Fox and useful 1m-1¼m winner Whitcombe Rockstar. Dam 1m winner. Already been gelded and he could be a longer-term prospect.

17:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With hardly any form to go off, a tentative vote goes to EL GHAAWY, who changed hands for 90,000gns and is related to plenty of winners. The son of Ghaiyyath might be able to make an instant impression, with his main threat possibly being Bryant, who could only manage fourth on his debut at Yarmouth in October. However, it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward to go close, while any market confidence behind newcomer Kintbury would be interesting.
BRYANT made a very encouraging start to his career when fourth in a maiden at York in October and this smartly-bred colt can take this en route to better things (holds Group 1 entry). All but one of his opponents are newcomers with Kintbury and El Ghaawy making the most appeal on paper.
220,000gns colt BRYANT is one of only two runners with experience in the line-up and he ran well for a long way at Yarmouth in October.
17:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(6) Blinky 13/2, 9/4 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 25 days ago, with a couple of today's rivals in behind. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Record of 1-11 but was runner-up at Southwell latest; each-way claims again for new yard.
2
1
2nd (1) (6/4 +25%) Layla Liz
1.5
6/4(+25%)
(1) Layla Liz 6/4, Progressive in novices, winning twice, latterly comfortably over C&D on Boxing Day, looking well suited by the drop to 5f. Leading claims on handicap debut. Made it 2-3 with easy win over C&D on Boxing Day; interesting contender on handicap debut.
3
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -150%) Neytiri Te Tskaha
20
20/1(-150%)
(4) Neytiri Te Tskaha 20/1, Much improved to win a Thirsk novice (5f, good to firm) in August, her final start for Karl Burke. Has an opening handicap mark which demands improvement now setting out for a new yard after 6 months off. Won at Thirsk on final run for Karl Burke; market informative on handicap/stable debut.
4
7
4th (7) (5/1 +29%) Fallen Soldier
5
5/1(+29%)
(7) Fallen Soldier 5/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 7/1) 25 days ago, with Blinky ahead in second. 0-11 but he went very close at Newcastle before a third at Southwell latest; not ruled out.
5th
5
5th (5) (9/4 +50%) Winchurch
2.25
9/4(+50%)
(5) Winchurch 9/4, AW debut winner last spring who added to his tally at Musselburgh (5f) in August. Good second in a Southwell handicap just after Christmas. Disappointing at Newcastle next time but looked back in form when fifth back at Southwell since, keeping on when not clear run. Player having been eased 2 lb. Exposed colt but he was an eyecatcher at Southwell latest; dangerous if he gets some luck.
6th
3
6th (3) (11/1 +21%) Kinetic Force
11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Kinetic Force 11/1, Debut winner on turf last June. Also a good second in a novice at Lingfield in July but not seen again until last of 7 in Southwell handicap last month. Needs to have come on a lot. Lingfield winner but he struggled on handicap debut at Southwell last month.
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There a few in with a chance here, so only a tentative vote can go to NEYTIRI TE TSKAHA. The daughter of Cotai Glory opened her account when trained by Karl Burke at Thirsk in August and now in the care of Stuart Williams, she could be feasibly handicapped from an opening mark of 77. Blinky hit the woodwork from 1lb lower at Southwell last month and he looks a real threat with Alex Jary taking off a handy 5lb. Top-weight Layla Liz, who won over C&D on Boxing Day, heads the remainder.
LAYLA LIZ looked useful when readily defying a penalty in a C&D novice over Christmas and might be able to dominate again. Winchurch met trouble when behind Blinky at Southwell last time and could be the one to give Archie Watson's charge most to think about.
Top of list is the unexposed LAYLA LIZ, who has won two of her three starts and is open to more progress on this switch to a handicap.
(1) Marioento 5/2, Unexposed sort from a good stable. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 10/1) 7 days ago, needing stiffer test. Much respected up in trip. Close fourth over C&D in both his handicaps; still has potential and he's respected.
2
4
2nd (4) (11/4 -38%) Enzos Angel
2.75
11/4(-38%)
(4) Enzos Angel 11/4, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner classified event over C&D (5/2) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Looks on a workable mark back in a handicap. Comfortable win over C&D last time; up 5lb but he's a big player again back in a handicap.
3
9
3rd (9) (9/1 +0%) City Escape
9
9/1(+0%)
(9) City Escape 9/1, Three-time C&D winner. Eyecover on first time, creditable third of 8 in C&D handicap C&D 20 days ago. Eyeshields back on. Back from a break with eyecatching third over C&D last month; possibilities off 1lb lower.
4
7
4th (7) (13/2 -30%) Pessoa
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(7) Pessoa 13/2, Four-time course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. Runner-up here in first two starts this year and had an excuse latest; in the mix.
5th
8
5th (8) (16/1 +36%) Mykonos St John
16
16/1(+36%)
(8) Mykonos St John 16/1, Course winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1m, 25/1) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won off 3lb higher here in October but he's not made an impact since; needs to step up.
6th
5
6th (5) (17/2 +6%) Cryptos Dream
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(5) Cryptos Dream 17/2, C&D winner in November but only sixth of 8 back here since. Bounced back with a C&D win in November but she failed to back that up here last time.
7th
6
7th (6) (15/2 +25%) Naughty Niall
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(6) Naughty Niall 15/2, Winner at Southwell (1m) in December and something surely not right when tailed off at Lingfield since. Off the mark at Southwell but was beaten out of sight at Lingfield next time; risky.
8th
3
8th (3) (16/1 -14%) Mostly Mozart
16
16/1(-14%)
(3) Mostly Mozart 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Things didn't go his way when fifth of 7 over C&D last month and better judged on his C&D handicap debut third before that. Third here penultimate run but that is his standout effort and others are more convincing.
9th
10
9th (10) (50/1 -100%) Break Point
50
50/1(-100%)
(10) Break Point 50/1, 17/2, sixth of 9 in C&D classified event 6 days ago. Something to find on form. 13-race maiden who has generally struggled and he makes no appeal.
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9.5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It looks best to side with ENZOS ANGEL, who recorded a comfortable C&D triumph three weeks ago. Neil Mulholland's gelding is 5lb higher today but Millie Wonnacot negates the rise with her claim, so this looks an excellent opportunity to follow up. Marioento kept on into fourth over the extended mile here last Monday and a step up in trip could suit on that evidence. City Escape shaped with promise on her return from a 152-day absence last time out and she is of interest from 1lb lower.
MARIOENTO should prove suited by this slightly longer trip and is taken to improve past some largely much more exposed rivals, best of whom may be recent C&D classified winner Enzos Angel and course regular Pessoa.
Preference is for ENZOS ANGEL, who was a clearcut winner over C&D last month and is a major player again if he can back that up.
(6) Heartrate 7/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Place possibilities. Losing run is up to 17 but is on a dangerous mark and was a close up at Chelmsford latest.
2
3
2nd (3) (2/1 -33%) Neptune Legend
2
2/1(-33%)
(3) Neptune Legend 2/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. 15/8, respectable third of 10 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 3 days ago. Visor back on and expected to be bang there. In-form 6yo who went close at Southwell on Friday; respected back in a handicap.
3
5
3rd (5) (5/1 +9%) Nordic Glory
5
5/1(+9%)
(5) Nordic Glory 5/1, 17/2, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. That represented a step back in the right direction and he's shortlisted. All of his AW wins have been at Lingfield; has tough draw here and others look stronger.
4
4
4th (4) (10/3 +5%) Rogue Thunder
3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(4) Rogue Thunder 10/3, C&D winner. 11/2, creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Piperstown in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Defied this mark over C&D in December and some creditable efforts since; in the mix.
5th
2
5th (2) (15/2 +38%) Eldeyaar
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(2) Eldeyaar 15/2, Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1) 38 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and he needs a second look. Generally struggled since his last win in September and needs to get back on track.
6th
9
6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Sacred Melody
66
66/1(-100%)
(9) Sacred Melody 66/1, 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago and she looks set for another struggle. Unplaced in all 14 starts and she beat only one rival at Newcastle last time; opposable.
7th
10
7th (10) (80/1 -21%) Moorgate
80
80/1(-21%)
(10) Moorgate 80/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 66/1) 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes tapeta debut. Readily passed over. Out of sorts this winter and slow starts have been an issue; plenty of prove.
8th
8
8th (8) (50/1 -150%) Rockley Point
50
50/1(-150%)
(8) Rockley Point 50/1, Thirty-six runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and others make more appeal. 12yo who has not won since March 2023 and he struggled at Newcastle last time.
9th
7
9th (7) (28/1 +15%) Jumira Bridge
28
28/1(+15%)
(7) Jumira Bridge 28/1, Three-time C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Won over C&D last February but has form figures of 970068 since; down the list.
19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
NEPTUNE LEGEND has been in good form at classified level of late, most recently when finishing a close-up third at Southwell on Friday. The gelded son of Invincible Spirit returns to handicaps on a workable mark and he shades preference over Nordic Glory, who finished a creditable third from 3lb higher at Lingfield recently. Rogue Thunder is another to consider.
Having taken a step back in the right direction at Lingfield recently, NORDIC GLORY could be the answer. He's effectively 3 lb lower in the weights here (eased 1 lb since and was 2 lb 'wrong' at Lingfield) and shades preference ahead of Neptune Legend, who has been in good form in classified events in recent weeks. Eldeyaar has slipped to a dangerous mark and is third choice.
The vote goes to NEPTUNE LEGEND, who has form figures of 32213 since November and that latest third was a close call on Friday.
(5) Under Curfew 6/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip and in the mix. 1-37 on AW but he was placed at Lingfield latest and has each-way claims again.
2
4
2nd (4) (3/1 +0%) Due Date
3
3/1(+0%)
(4) Due Date 3/1, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly. Dual C&D winner who won at Chelmsford latest; up 2lb but he's respected back in a handicap.

3rd (1) (4/1 +20%) Back Tomorrow
4
4/1(+20%)
(1) Back Tomorrow 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 9/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Weighted to go well. Held in bid for a four-timer here last week but things didn't go her way; dangerous.
4
9
4th (9) (7/1 +72%) Available Angel
7
7/1(+72%)
(9) Available Angel 7/1, Two wins from 47 Flat runs. 18/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at this course (7.2f) 7 days ago. Visor on 1st time with more needed. Last win was in 2022 and she's not run over this trip for a long time; passed over.
5th
2
5th (2) (8/1 +60%) Vitalline
8
8/1(+60%)
(2) Vitalline 8/1, 15/2, last of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good). Off 8 months. Others more persuasive. On last winning mark but has something to prove after 269 days off.

(6) My Boy Jack 15/2, 3-time C&D winner. 4/1, below form fourth of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 10 days ago, never nearer. Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. On workable mark but he's hard to win with and has not threatened the last twice.

18/1(-125%)
(3) Starsong 18/1, C&D winner. 15/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago so needs to bounce back. Went close at Lingfield in December but she's been disappointing since; others preferred.

20/1(-67%)
(8) Warminster 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Has work to do. Infrequent winner and he's finished down the field in his last six starts; down the list.

9th (7) (9/1 +18%) Glory Call
9
9/1(+18%)
(7) Glory Call 9/1, C&D winner. 8/1, creditable fourth of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and needs considering. Triple course winner who has run respectably in classified events last twice; in the mix.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Due Date has to be respected following his win at Chelmsford last time but this is tougher and preference is for UNDER CURFEW. The veteran was third at Lingfield earlier in the month and is likely to play a leading role off a 1lb lower mark here. My Boy Jack edges out Glory Call and Back Tomorrow to be best of the rest.
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for BACK TOMORROW who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth over C&D recently and can now capitalise on a lenient-looking mark. Recent Chelmsford City scorer Due Date rates a big danger though, with Under Curfew and Glory Call also in the picture.
Preference is for dual C&D winner DUE DATE, who battled well to defy a tough draw in a classified event at Chelmsford last time.
(8) One More Dream 9/2, Fourteen runs since his last win in 2024 but he got back on track when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago. Expected to be bang there off a 2 lb lower mark. Eight-time AW winner; on very dangerous mark but he needs to find some extra spark.

9/2(-13%)
(5) Rosenpur 9/2, 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (5.1f) 14 days ago, just holding on. Can make his presence felt. Two 5f wins here this year and latest was off 2lb lower; needs a close look back up to 6f.

6/1(+8%)
(2) Muscika 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in January. 15/2, solid third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Recorded his 17th win when scoring at Newcastle and was placed there last time; respected.

4th (1) (7/2 +13%) Mumayaz
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(1) Mumayaz 7/2, C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but not taken lightly. Has finished well to win his last two starts and is a big player again in hat-trick bid.
5th

40/1(-60%)
(6) Lihou 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Leicester in August. 16/1, below form third of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago. Back up in trip with more required. 12-time winner who showed signs of a revival at Southwell; dangerous back up in trip.

10/1(-25%)
(4) Bill Plumb 10/1, C&D winner. 18/1, below-par fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Others appeal more. Back from long absence last month but he wasn't beaten far over C&D latest; not ruled out.
7th

7th (7) (15/2 +0%) Tyke
7.5
15/2(+0%)
(7) Tyke 15/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fair fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 12/1) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. No forlorn hope. Could go well in new headgear but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up.
8th

8th (3) (4/1 +11%) Angel Of England
4
4/1(+11%)
(3) Angel Of England 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Can give a good account. Record of 1-16 but was good second over C&D latest and he's well drawn to attack.
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ANGEL OF ENGLAND bounced back to form when second over C&D three weeks ago and the four-year-old has every chance of going one better off the same mark here. The hat-trick seeking Mumayaz is a big danger but a 5lb penalty for his latest win at Southwell will make life tougher for him, while Tyke is another to consider in a first-time visor.
ONE MORE DREAM signalled he is ready to go in again when a resurgent third at Southwell recently so looks the way to go off a 2 lb lower mark here. In-form C&D scorer Muscika is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Angel of England and Mumayaz.
This looks competitive but it might be worth sticking with MUMAYAZ, who has won on Tapeta the last twice and is as good as ever.
(2) Whenthedealinsdone 11/4, Won 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/2) 26 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Needs considering. Awarded a Lingfield race last month after Hierarchy was disqualified; respected up 1lb.

7/1(+7%)
(4) Brian The Snail 7/1, Latest win at Newcastle in December. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (5f) 3 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Ought to be thereabouts. Veteran who won at Newcastle in December and was an eyecatcher there latest; in the mix.

3rd (3) (10/3 -11%) Charlie Mason
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(3) Charlie Mason 10/3, 4/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Can give another good account despite a 3 lb rise. Generally reliable 4yo who won over C&D last time; in the mix again from good draw.

4th (5) (25/1 -79%) First Company
25
25/1(-79%)
(5) First Company 25/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 25/1) 40 days ago. One for the shortlist. Made all at Kempton in November but down the field in last two runs; others preferred.
5th

5th (1) (2/1 +33%) Hierarchy
2
2/1(+33%)
(1) Hierarchy 2/1, C&D winner. Good second of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago, no match for winner. A likely player once more. Has been in good form this year and was runner-up at Kempton last week; key player.
6th

6th (7) (10/1 -43%) Macanudo
10
10/1(-43%)
(7) Macanudo 10/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2024 but he shaped well when fourth of 8 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Interesting off an easing mark. Record of 1-23 but he often runs well and shouldn't be far away.
7th

7th (6) (80/1 -220%) Ten Club

80/1(-220%)
(6) Ten Club 80/1, Latest win at Kempton in September. 28/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D. Off 119 days. First run for yard after leaving Jamie Osborne. Something to find on form. 25-1 win at Kempton in September but struggled in next two runs; now returns for new yard.
8th

8th (8) (22/1 -120%) Prince Of Bel Lir
22
22/1(-120%)
(8) Prince Of Bel Lir 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 16 days ago so needs to take a big step forward. C&D win last month but he was disappointing back here last time; needs to bounce back.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 3lb rise for winning over C&D last month should not stop Charlie Mason from going well once again but marginal preference is for HIERARCHY. Jamie Osborne's gelding has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and a race of this nature can go his way soon enough. The shortlist is completed by Whenthedealinsdone, Brian The Snail and First Company.
A few with chances but this could go the way of MACANUDO who caught the eye when a recent fourth over C&D and can race off a 1 lb lower mark now. Hierarchy is knocking on the door but might have to settle for runner-up spot once more, with Charlie Mason and First Company also warranting plenty of respect.
This looks competitive but the vote goes to CHARLIE MASON, who justified support with something in hand over C&D last time.
