16:20 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 +86%) Angel Of Rain	9 9/1(+86%)	(1) Angel Of Rain 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 28/1), slowly away. Off 8 months ahead of this debut for new yard. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Cut little ice in two 6f novices last summer for William Haggas; more needed for new yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/13 +75%) Enola Holmes	0.615385 8/13(+75%)	(3) Enola Holmes 8/13, Promising sort. 12/1, first run since leaving Ollie Sangster when winning 10-runner maiden at this C&D 17 days ago, readily. Should improve. Comfortably landed C&D maiden latest; has more to offer and merits serious consideration.
3	8 3rd (8) (18/1 +10%) Nad Alshiba Rain	18 18/1(+10%)	(8) Nad Alshiba Rain 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby and likely to find a few of these too strong. Failed to make the frame in four runs for Mick Appleby; may still do better for new yard.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 -42%) Mehmas Shy Angel	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(6) Mehmas Shy Angel 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 5/1) 34 days ago. Down in trip and she's a live each-way contender. Fourth in 1m Kempton maiden last month; she needs to build on it dropped markedly in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (66/1 +18%) Marmoga	66 66/1(+18%)	(2) Marmoga 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in a C&D maiden (33/1) on debut in November 2023. Absent since and sports a first-time tongue strap. Eighth in C&D maiden 15 months ago; tongue tied for her comeback run with lots more needed.
6th	12 6th (12) (17/2 -183%) Wonderbolt	8.5 17/2(-183%)	(12) Wonderbolt 17/2, 175,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Boccaccio and useful 1m winner Gal Wonder, both useful. Interesting newcomer for in-form yard and the market will be revealing. 175,000gns yearling; plenty of appeal on pedigree; one of 2 interesting newcomers for yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 -50%) Cupola	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(5) Cupola 9/2, Once-raced maiden. Third of 8 in novice at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/2) on debut 25 days ago. Should have more to offer and she's a key player. Shaped very well when third on debut at Lingfield, finishing with a flourish; interesting.
8th	4 8th (4) (200/1 -60%) California Fling	200 200/1(-60%)	(4) California Fling 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 10 in novice at Southwell (6.1f) 34 days ago. Another who may do better in handicaps further down the line. Well held in a pair of 6f Southwell novices last month; others appeal more.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 -21%) Remember The Bear	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Remember The Bear 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f, 25/1) on debut. Off 130 days and equipped with a first-time hood here. Finished last on debut at Kempton in October (6f); hood goes on for her comeback run.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 0%) Mishy's Star	80 80/1(0%)	(7) Mishy's Star 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice (80/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 19 days ago. Readily passed over. Showed little in novices at Kempton/Chelmsford either side of Christmas.
11th	11 11th (11) (250/1 -658%) Saif Territory	250 250/1(-658%)	(11) Saif Territory 250/1, Territories filly. Dam, 7f-8.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f A Lilac Rolla, second in Irish 1000 Guineas. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers and watching brief advised. Some appeal on paper but stable not known for winning newcomers.

16:20 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Enola Holmes broke her maiden in comfortable fashion over C&D recently and although respected, she has more to do under the penalty. Karl Burke's debuting duo of Wonderbolt and Rajwa make considerable appeal and market support would be noteworthy, but the vote goes to CUPOLA. Clive Cox's filly made a pleasing racecourse bow at Lingfield last month, finishing third, and it would come as no surprise were the Harry Angel filly to step forward today.

CUPOLA shaped well amidst greenness when third on her introduction at Lingfield and, likely to improve with that run under her belt, the daughter of Harry Angel earns the vote. Enola Holmes scored in good style on her first run for this yard over C&D recently and she is greatly respected, while the Karl Burke-trained newcomers Rajwa and Wonderbolt both need close attention in the betting.

A few with chances but there was a lot to like about the debut Lingfield third of CUPOLA so Clive Cox's filly gets the vote.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +17%) Sun Keeper	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) Sun Keeper 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Third on handicap debut at Newcastle last time and form has been boosted; tongue-tie on.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 +0%) Ballsgrove Boy	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Ballsgrove Boy 5/1, 25/1, gelded and first run since leaving Alice Haynes when good second of 11 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 61 days ago. More will be needed if he's to go one better on this debut for another new yard, but it's possible. Only beaten a neck at Southwell last time and each-way claims for another new yard.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +50%) Dance Recital	4 4/1(+50%)	(1) Dance Recital 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at this C&D 17 days ago. Improvement needed now handicapping. Has ability but hung badly left the last twice; has a big question mark against her.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -64%) Little Bittern	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(3) Little Bittern 9/2, Successful at Southwell in January. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 11 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on and definite chance if breaking on terms. Disappointed at Lingfield last time after winning at Southwell; return to Tapeta may help.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/2 +0%) Top Biller	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(9) Top Biller 9/2, C&D winner in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (5f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and he's not out of things. C&D winner last month; could go well back here, especially if ridden positively.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 -175%) Watkins	11 11/1(-175%)	(2) Watkins 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 15 days ago. Visor on 1st time and sizeable step forward needed. Hasn't finished within 8l of the winner in five starts; dropis in trip with a visor on.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 +90%) Summer Rain	5 5/1(+90%)	(4) Summer Rain 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 33/1). Off 98 days and others are more persuasive. Returns from three months off having been gelded and has a bit to prove.
8th	10 8th (10) (150/1 -500%) Miss Campanella	150 150/1(-500%)	(10) Miss Campanella 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice (200/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft). Off 7 months ahead of this handicap debut. Has an official mark of 27 so effectively 19lb wrong on handicap debut after 223 days off.

16:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SUN KEEPER shaped with promise on her first foray into handicap company, finishing third in behind a couple of in-form rivals at Newcastle last month. Eased 1lb for her troubles, the daughter of Havana Grey should appreciate this extra furlong and the application of a first-time tongue-tie is another potential source of improvement. Dance Recital hasn't always looked the easiest of rides, but she moves into handicaps from a potentially workable mark. Ballsgrove Boy, a narrow second at Southwell in December, is also noted.

LITTLE BITTERN was well backed to follow up her Southwell success at Lingfield but blew the start and was never on terms. This looks a thin handicap and she can resume winning ways if breaking better. Top Biller is feared most ahead of Ballsgrove Boy.

The vote goes to SUN KEEPER who finished third on handicap debut at Newcastle four weeks ago and that form has since been boosted.

Has to be taken seriously. Made all over 7f here (from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; this drop to 6f should suit..
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +29%) Wondrous Ways	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) Wondrous Ways 10/1, 12/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 32 days ago. Others preferred. Won from 2lb lower at Catterick (5f, soft) last summer; AW debut & comeback run modest..
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Inconspicuous	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Inconspicuous 12/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 12/1) 15 days ago and he's opposable on the back of that low-key display. Cheekpieces back on. Fourth at Lingfield (5f) penultimate; latest run (7f) was disappointing; career-low mark..
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -150%) Rosezan	25 25/1(-150%)	(2) Rosezan 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden (150/1) at this course (9.5f) 59 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly down in trip for this handicap debut and significant improvement needed. Triple-figure odds in three AW runs (7f-8.5f; novice/maiden); back to 6f for handicap bow..

Back up in trip and she needs raise her game a touch. Failed to get competitive on AW debut at Newcastle (5f; 33-1); eased 2lb since; 6f a plus?.

First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes and he's an each-way player. Fourth at Thirsk (6f; tongue-tied) in September; off since (gelded and changed stables)..
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 -100%) Blue Force One	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Blue Force One 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving K. R. Burke when bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 25/1) 11 days ago, not knocked about. Place possibilities. Modest headway into fourth in this headgear on recent stable debut at Lingfield (6f; 25-1).
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -100%) Orlando Magic	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Orlando Magic 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Michael Appleby when last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut. Beaten just a single rival in four starts; no obvious reason to expect better..

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A chance can be taken on ATHERSTONE BEAU, who posted an improved performance when not beaten far into sixth over 5f on her all-weather debut last month. A step up in trip looks certain to suit Roger Fell's filly on that evidence and a 2lb ease in the handicap could be very lenient. Causin A Commotion has been knocking at the door recently and is unlikely to be far away once again, while Rosezan warrants a market check now sent handicapping for the first time.

KALEIDOSCOPE EYES did the job well when opening her account over 7f here last month and followed that with a creditable effort back at this course 15 days ago. She promises to be suited by this drop back in trip and shades preference ahead of Causin A Commotion and Royal Accord, while Blue Force One is also worth a second look.

In a race where plenty arrive out of sorts, and from declining marks, the safest option is seemingly the in-form KALEIDOSCOPE EYES.

2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 +46%) Inlet	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(4) Inlet 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 20 days ago. Has work to do. Respectable seventh at Kempton latest; may do better stepping up in trip; not ruled out.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +40%) Addosh	3 3/1(+40%)	(2) Addosh 3/1, Course winner. Second over 2m at Southwell (AW) in January. Two respectable efforts back hurdling since and should go well back on the Flat. Course winner; good fifth over hurdles at Fakenham four days ago; much respected back here.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Balgowan	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Balgowan 5/1, Respectable second of 10 over C&D (4/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Should go well again. Yet to register a victory but he arrives in good nick for his current yard; can go well.

6th	3 6th (3) (11/4 +45%) Hawa Jumeirah	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(3) Hawa Jumeirah 11/4, Course winner over 1½m in January. Only fourth under a penalty a week later but may get back on the up having been freshened up since. Won here in January but just a fair fourth back here since; remains one for the shortlist.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -380%) Marvellous Lady	12 12/1(-380%)	(7) Marvellous Lady 12/1, Clicked at only the second time of asking for James Owen in 9.5f course classified event last Tuesday. The much longer trip now is an unknown but it's likely she has more to give for this yard. Won for new yard here last week (9.5f); big player under penalty over a trip that may suit.
8th	8 8th (8) (22/1 -38%) Villazon	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) Villazon 22/1, 10/3, first run since leaving Deborah Faulkner when last of 9 in handicap at this course (1½m) 43 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Last on his yard debut in 1m4f handicap here last month; others are preferred.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Addosh was beaten five lengths into second when last seen in this sphere at Southwell last month and has been well held in two starts over hurdles since. A return to the Flat could produce a better performance, but it may be best to side with HAWA JUMEIRAH. The four-year-old ran below-par when only fourth over 1m4f here last time but based on his success at this venue prior to that, he could be the one to beat. Balgowan completes the shortlist.

BALGOWAN gets the nod to resume winning ways after a couple of good runner-up efforts to start 2025. James Owen pair Addosh and Marvellous Lady, who won a course classified event over a much shorter trip last week, may provide the main opposition.

Ex-Irish MARVELLOUS LADY was quick to get off the mark for James Owen here last week and can defy a 5lb penalty upped in distance.

Leading claims with Warren Fentiman taking 7 lb off this time. C&D winner and a good Southwell second four days ago; bold showing on cards off same mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 -11%) Daaris	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Daaris 5/2, C&D winner in December. Creditable placed efforts on all 4 outings since and should be in the shake-up again. C&D winner and arrives in good nick; he ought to be thereabouts once more.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 +46%) Trackman	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(8) Trackman 15/2, Poor maiden. Respectable fifth of 10 in C&D handicap (11/2) C&D 59 days ago. Not disgraced when fifth over C&D in December; considered after a break.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 -30%) Sophosc	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(5) Sophosc 13/2, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, creditable length third of 10 to reopposing Mamdoh in C&D handicap 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Course winner who posted a solid third over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist.
5th	7 5th (7) (17/2 +47%) Two Plus Two	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(7) Two Plus Two 17/2, C&D winner in January. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) since. C&D winner in January but just sixth at Southwell 26 days ago; he needs to bounce back.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 +45%) Grand Scheme	18 18/1(+45%)	(2) Grand Scheme 18/1, 28/1, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) when last seen in October. Best watched after a break unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Well below par when last seen in the autumn, last at Newcastle; others preferred.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 +8%) Ezmerellda	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Ezmerellda 11/1, Hurdle winer since last seen on the Flat but below-form fourth in Doncaster handicap on latest hurdle start. Below par of late hurdling so has it to prove on her first Flat run since October 2023.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

MAMDOH hasn't finished out of the top two since the application of cheekpieces two starts ago, when beating Sophosc into third and scoring by a length over C&D. The four-year-old was far from disgraced in second over an extended 2m at Southwell subsequently and could prove difficult to beat back at this venue. Two Plus Two beat Daaris (third) when successful over track and trip on his penultimate start and he can confirm that form to go close.

MAMDOH has been in top form since cheekpieces have gone on and can resume winning ways with Warren Fentiman taking a handy 7 lb off. The consistent Daaris is second choice ahead of Sophosc, who was third to the selection here at the beginning of the month.

C&D winner MAMDOH (nap) has advanced his form since cheekpieces went on and can race off the same mark as when a good second on Friday.

Third of 5 in handicap (6/4) at Kempton (7f) 27 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Bit more required. Dual winner over this trip and a close third at Kempton last month; shouldn't be far away.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/4 +9%) City Of God	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(5) City Of God 5/4, 7/4, won 10-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago, knowing his job well enough to lead this time and always in command. Couple of promising ones in behind and he can improve again now handicapping. Built on his promising debut when making all at Southwell last month; the one to beat.

Makes tapeta debut. More still to come. 4lb higher than when defying the widest stall to win at Kempton last time; major player.

Retains potential and 7f should suit. Contrasting form since winning on debut last May; needs longer trip to unlock improvement.

Latest win at Southwell in December. 14/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 32 days ago. Down in class and Warren Fentiman's claim helps. Could go well back at 7f. Three-time winner, but a modest effort last time and still to prove he stays this far.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

City Of God improved on his debut fourth to shed his maiden tag over a mile at Southwell last month and with any amount of improvement to come, he has to be considered on his handicap debut. However, it may pay to side with SWEET FANTASTIC, who stayed on to win well in first-time cheekpieces over this trip at Kempton last time and was only put up 4lb for that triumph. With Liam Wright claiming a handy 5lb this time around, he may prove tough to stop. Master Technician is another to note.

A competitive handicap that can go to SWEET FANTASTIC, who won well in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton last month and has more to offer. City of God took a big step forward at Southwell and should do better again now handicapping.

The choice is CITY OF GOD who remains open to improvement now handicapping after his all-the-way success at Southwell last month.

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 16/1, creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at this C&D 8 days ago, looked unlucky not to finish closer given he had little room to open up fully. One to consider. Didn't enjoy the clearest of runs in one of these here last week but now 0-22.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/1 +31%) Moreginplease	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Moreginplease 11/1, Modest filly. One win from 30 Flat runs. 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Well held at Southwell only four days ago on her return from 113 days off.
6th	9 6th (9) (4/1 +33%) Scarfo	4 4/1(+33%)	(9) Scarfo 4/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 8 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 17/2) 10 days ago. Similar form in 8.6f classified races here the last twice; win came over 7f; could go well.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/4 -38%) Dandy Lichious	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(4) Dandy Lichious 11/4, Modest gelding. 5/1, good third of 9 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 19 days ago. Merits consideration. Only 1-20 but arrives here on the back of competitive shows at Newcastle and Southwell.
8th	2 8th (2) (12/1 +57%) Baulac	12 12/1(+57%)	(2) Baulac 12/1, Poor gelding. Seventh of 10 in minor event (20/1) at this C&D 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Uphill task. 20-1 for a classified race here last week and was behind Coconut Bay.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -100%) Independent Beauty	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Independent Beauty 80/1, Poor mare. Remains a maiden after 43 Flat runs. Last of 7 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 80/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Very hard to make a case for. Placed a few times but now 0-43 and finished last on her recent return from a break.
10th	10 10th (10) (150/1 -88%) Trois Blancs	150 150/1(-88%)	(10) Trois Blancs 150/1, Last of 9 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 150/1) 11 days ago. Maiden who has beaten only eight rivals in seven starts since leaving James Fanshawe.

19:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Plenty of these have something to prove, so it might be worth taking a chance on GRECIAN GOD. Mark Usher's charge would undoubtedly need to step forward on what he has shown recently, but this is his first foray into classified company and it would come as no surprise to see an improved display. He shades the verdict over Dandy Lichious, who arrives on the back of a respectable third at Southwell and a similar performance should see him thereabouts once more. Scarfo is the pick of the remainder.

DANDY LICHIOUS has found some consistency at this level of late and is narrowly selected to come out on top from stablemate Coconut Bay, who also ran one of her better races this winter when fourth over C&D 8 days ago. Balmy Breese is another in with a shout.

Mark Usher's GRECIAN GOD is preferred to Scarfo and Dandy Lichious. It's the selection's first run in a classified race.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +61%) Mariner	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(5) Mariner 7/2, Maiden who has been afforded a chance by the handicapper and got back on track when good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, hampered briefly around 1f out and keeping on. Not out of things. Maiden; best handicap form at 1m2f on turf but close 3rd over C&D latest; yard in form.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +30%) Charlatan	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(8) Charlatan 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell (1m) in January. Remained in good form since, posting a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap back at that venue (8.1f, 9/4) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be in the mix again. Four wins since January 2024; exposed but reliable; thereabouts.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 -50%) Mr Fustic	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Mr Fustic 6/1, C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m) 16 days ago, edging ahead post. Nudged up just 2 lb if he can back that up. Won consecutive races in 2022 and 2023; fallow in 2024 but narrow Lingfield winner latest.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -50%) Shot Of Love	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Shot Of Love 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 5/1) 13 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and fading. Handicapper has eased him a little more ahead of this but others appeal more for win purposes. Sole AW win at 7f; has won over this trip on turf but generally a weak finisher at it now.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -50%) Delta Legend	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Delta Legend 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 7/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago, needing stiffer test. Blinkers/tongue tie applied now and rider takes off a handy 7 lb. Two 1m wins at Lingfield; fair run back at 1m latest; well handicapped if these aids help.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/4 +50%) Waistcoat	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(4) Waistcoat 7/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) in August, unsuited by drop in trip. Gelded/changed hands for 10,000 gns thereafter and he remains the type to do better back up in trip. One to consider. Had excuses for two handicap defeats; sold 10,000gns since latest run in August.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -211%) Celebrating Ethel	14 14/1(-211%)	(6) Celebrating Ethel 14/1, Just the one win from 25 Flat runs but confirmed her return to form when again finding only one too good in 5-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago. Should be competitive again having been nudged up 1 lb. No wins in Britain as yet but often thereabouts, as for her latest two runs on this track.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -175%) Soi Dao	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Soi Dao 33/1, C&D winner who returned to form when runner-up at Bath (1m) in October. Not in same form when fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) later that month but fallen back down below last winning ahead of this return to action. C&D winner off today's mark last January; consistent since; first run since October.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Celebrating Ethel found only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip 22 days ago and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks very fair. However, MR FUSTIC overcame a rough passage when holding on to score at Lingfield earlier this month and, racing off just 2lb higher, the seven-year-old may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. Charlatan and Mariner can also make their presence felt.

WAISTCOAT was unsuited by the drop in trip in a race that has thrown up subsequent winners when sixth in a handicap at Kempton (7f) back in August and, starting out for a new yard/having been gelded, he could be worth chancing with the step back up in trip looking firmly in his favour. Lingfield-scorer Mr Fustic, Charlatan and Celebrating Ethel head up the dangers.

Mariner can go well for a yard in great form but Lingfield winner MR FUSTIC can take advantage of a still-favourable mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +31%) Sense Of Worth	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Sense Of Worth 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 10 days ago, headed final 100 yds but running on. Not taken lightly back up in trip. Tapeta win over 1m3f; back in better form again and might stay this far round here.
2	8 2nd (8) (12/1 -260%) Starfighter	12 12/1(-260%)	(8) Starfighter 12/1, 4-time C&D winner who settled better than most and continued good spell when adding to his tally in 7-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago. Fancied to be competitive again from 3 lb higher mark. Two recent C&D wins in a lower grade but still well treated on past form here.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/11 +27%) High Court Judge	0.909091 10/11(+27%)	(1) High Court Judge 10/11, Thriving sort who made it 5-5 for the year with a ready success in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) on Saturday, getting a good pace to aim at and forging clear. Rider's handy claim more than off-sets his penalty and he ought to prove tough to beat again. Made it five on the trot on Saturday (1m4f); good chance of another win despite penalty.
4	5 4th (5) (17/2 -31%) Cerulean Summer	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Cerulean Summer 17/2, Dual course winner, the latest over 9.5f in November. 11/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago. Can give another good account with her rider able to take off a handy 5 lb. Both course wins at about 1m1f; stayed on well over this trip latest; form franked since.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -38%) Night Bear	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Night Bear 22/1, 11/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 12 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Fallen back down to last winning mark and the return to this shorter trip can help. Ran up to best at Southwell (1m4f) in December but lesser run after; non-stayer latest.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +38%) Pysanka	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) Pysanka 10/1, Three wins from 13 runs last year. 7/1, 5¼ lengths fifth of 7 to High Court Judge in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Work to do if he's to turn the tables with that rival here. Shade flat of late; weights turnaround with High Court Judge on recent C&D form.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 -100%) Douglas Dc	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Douglas Dc 28/1, Ran respectably returned to this sphere when fourth in handicap at Lingfield (12f) on penultimate start but disappointing when sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 24 days ago. Steps back up in trip but his losing run tempers enthusiasm. 0-14 on turf/AW and recent runs back on sand don't advance claims for this race.
8th	2 8th (2) (12/1 +52%) Aikhal	12 12/1(+52%)	(2) Aikhal 12/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. First-time visor needs to have positive effect now. Won Group 3 in 2022 but form on the slide these days, including over C&D latest.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

HIGH COURT JUDGE had little difficulty in completing a five-timer at Newcastle three days ago and he's hard to oppose on his current upward trajectory. Warren Fentiman is taking a handy 7lb off the five-year-old's back and a 5lb penalty seems unlikely to prevent an eighth career victory. Sense Of Worth arrives on the back of a solid second over an extended 1m1f here, but today's 1m4f distance may stretch his stamina. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from last-time-out C&D winner Starfighter.

HIGH COURT JUDGE had little trouble bringing up his fifth victory since the turn of the year when running out a ready winner at Newcastle on Saturday and he looks to hold prime claims again under Warren Fentiman. Starfighter is another arriving in excellent form and is feared most. Sense of Worth and Night Bear rate next best.

Starfighter makes some appeal now he's found some form again but the six-timer is very much on the cards for HIGH COURT JUDGE.

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.
