1st (4) Beauzon (9/2 -176%)
Beauzon

9/2(-176%)
(4) Beauzon 9/2, On a C&D 4-timer after 3 wins in 9 days last month. Only another 3 lb higher and another bold bid looks assured in his current mood.
Completed a quick C&D hat-trick last month; still feasibly treated; leading contender.

2nd (7) Wee Fat Mac (11/2 +0%)
Wee Fat Mac

11/2(+0%)
(7) Wee Fat Mac 11/2, C&D winner. Four wins from 21 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in December. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt.
C&D winner in December and followed up at Newcastle; solid the last twice; needs more.

One More Dream

16/1(+20%)
(2) One More Dream 16/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Catterick in August. 80/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 23 days ago. Back down in trip.
Out of sorts so far this winter but drop in trip/class could revive; market to guide.

4th (6) Mumayaz (11/2 +8%)
Mumayaz

11/2(+8%)
(6) Mumayaz 11/2, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021 but can't be knocked for consistency, finishing runner-up for the tenth time in his last 11 starts at Lingfield (7f) 8 days ago. Likely to give his running but the outside stall isn't ideal.
Finished 2nd in 11 of his 15 runs for this yard; drawn widest; each-way claims.
5th
5th (1) Masterclass (11/4 +21%)
Masterclass

11/4(+21%)
(1) Masterclass 11/4, Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in November. 12/1, sixth of 9 in Class 3 handicap at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Should be more competitive at this lower level.
Hold-up sprinter who lurks on a fair mark; this easier than last time; shortlisted.

Supreme King

5/2(+50%)
(5) Supreme King 5/2, Tongue strap on first time, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Tongue tie off, first-time visor on now.
Drops in trip with a visor added; 0-15 thus far but he's tumbling down the weights.
7th

Damoiseau

150/1(-127%)
(9) Damoiseau 150/1, Hasn't beaten a rival in 2 C&D handicaps since coming from France. Beauzon looks very much the yard first string.
Not beaten a rival in two C&D runs for Ian Williams; hard to recommend.
8th
8th (8) Moai (50/1 -257%)
Moai

50/1(-257%)
(8) Moai 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 12 in handicap over this C&D (28/1) 72 days ago. Others are preferred.
Dropped 40lb after a dismal 2023 campaign, often slowly away; 6f looks too sharp for him.
9th
9th (3) Pub Talk (66/1 -164%)
Pub Talk

66/1(-164%)
(3) Pub Talk 66/1, First run since leaving Leanne Breen when seventh of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Needs to leave that behind.
Low-key stable debut at Newcastle 18 days ago; best watched on the back of that.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BEAUZON has been in outstanding form of late and the four-timer looks to be very much on the cards following a success from two subsequent winners over C&D last month. Ian Williams' charge has run off higher marks in the past, and he should have too much for fellow C&D winner Wee Fat Mac and Mumayaz, who deserve a change in luck after a series of runner-up efforts.

A further 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent BEAUZON completing a C&D 4-timer. Wee Fat Mac might be the one to give him most to do ahead of Mumayaz.

Beauzon is thriving and should make a bold bid for the four-timer but MASTERCLASS can capitalise on today's drop in class.

Havanazam

9/2(+10%)
(8) Havanazam 9/2, Won a 1½m course handicap last month. Seemed stretched by 2m when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (2m) since so this in-between distance could suit.
It's not all been plain sailing in his nine-race career but he's 2-2 at Wolverhampton.

2nd (7) Night At Sea (5/1 -150%)
Night At Sea

5/1(-150%)
(7) Night At Sea 5/1, Good second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 6/1) 20 days ago. Good chance of a first success with a repeat of that form.
Found only a notably progressive rival too good at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) last time.

(1) Morlaix 11/2, Course winner. 7/2, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 25 days ago, left poorly placed.

9th
9th (5) Dark Mystery (9/2 +50%)
Dark Mystery

9/2(+50%)
(5) Dark Mystery 9/2, Off 6 months, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (2m) 45 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Should be sharper for the run and turf win back in 2022 came off 3 lb higher.
Penultimate start (June) showed that significant ability remains; stamina a concern.
10th
10th (9) First Charge (16/1 +36%)
First Charge

16/1(+36%)
(9) First Charge 16/1, Course winner. 33/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 27 days ago, typically doing himself no favours with a slow start.
Habitual slow-starter, fluffing the stalls badly in recent outings; risks.
11th
11th (12) Still Standing (28/1 +30%)
Still Standing

28/1(+30%)
(12) Still Standing 28/1, Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 50/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.
No win since 2021 but last two starts (here) contained some encouragement.

Blinkered first time when beaten 5l at Lingfield (1m5f, AW; 80-1) on second run for yard.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A highly-encouraging second over a furlong shorter at Lingfield last month, NIGHT AT SEA gives the impression that she will be well served by a further rise in distance and she can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking. That may be at the main expense of the well-handicapped Morlaix and Kitty Foyle, who is of interest on her first start for new connections.

NIGHT AT SEA went down only to a thriving rival at Lingfield last time and could take a bit of stopping if in similar form here. The low-mileage Kitty Foyle is quite an interesting new recruit for the Jack Jones yard and is put up as the chief threat ahead of 1½m course scorer Havanazam, who failed to stay 2m last time but should find this trip within range.

Their stamina has not been proved but calculations appear to be dominated by HAVANAZAM (2-2 at Wolverhampton) and Night At Sea.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DIVINE BREATH was only caught late on when travelling well on her debut over 7f at Chelmsford last month, which suggests that the drop in trip is the right move. Ralph Beckett's charge had the reopposing Ocean Bliss (third) five lengths behind, and she could be in the mix once again on her second start for Mick Appleby. Dolores Abernathy is another to consider on her first run since May.

DIVINE BREATH pulled clear with another newcomer when runner-up at Chelmsford last month and can go one place better in a weak-looking maiden. Twenty Bob is worth another chance to confirm debut promise having had excuses here 2 weeks ago so rates the main threat ahead of Bellatarix Lady, who looks the pick of the newcomers.

This looks a good opportunity for DIVINE BREATH to confirm the promise of her recent Chelmsford debut.

Chelmsford winner in November; ran well at Lingfield last time; new headgear tried.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

RUN JOY RUN has improved since cheekpieces were applied two starts ago, posting an admirable second prior to a game victory at Kempton over a mile last month, and she looks the one to side with having been nudged up 3lb. Jazzy Angel may prove to be the biggest danger to the selection on the back of her creditable second behind a subsequent winner over 1m at Southwell in December. Morindoo has been eased 2lb following an encouraging handicap debut, when fifth over 1m at Southwell in December, and she may fill the frame.

MONTECRISTO GOLD did comfortably best of the rest when second at Lingfield last month so could be the answer off the same mark with headgear back on. Recent Kempton winner Run Joy Run and the progressive Jazzy Angel are obvious threats.

Run Joy Run is improving but JAZZY ANGEL (nap)'s latest second placing has been boosted since and she can gain her second success.

LTO Selection:

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

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

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

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

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

(6) Corsican Caper 14/1, Winner at Southwell in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Not one to write off.
Met trouble here last time having won at Southwell the previous week; should go well.

Typewritten

12/1(-85%)
(2) Typewritten 12/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Very good third of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 10/1) 18 days ago. Not sure to back that up.
Well treated on last winter's form and went close over 1m6f last month; could have a say.

11/1(+21%)
(7) Jenny Ren 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop.
Veteran with a solid record on this course; staying-on fifth three weeks ago; shortlisted.

66/1(-450%)
(11) Hot Team 66/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. May well be on the premises.
Infrequent winner these days and will need to step up on latest fifth of nine at Newcastle.

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

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

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

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

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

Berkshire Phantom

4/1(+56%)
(6) Berkshire Phantom 4/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, very good third of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 28 days ago. Should give another good account if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.
Has come a long way down the weights and showed more last time in the new blinkers.

(7) Island Native 11/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in January. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 6/4) 10 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Visor on 1st time. Leading claims.
In form and another positive ride can be expected back over 7f in the first-time visor.

(1) Harriet's Angel 5/2, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/4) 10 days ago. Still unexposed and looked more straightforward last time, so there could be more to come.
Back from a break to win well at Kempton and the money came; up 6lb.

(2) Mitigator 7/2, Course winner. Won 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 6/1) 21 days ago, finding extra. Should remain competitive.
On a hat-trick after wins over further; should get a good pace to chase back at 7f.

The Gay Blade

17/2(-42%)
(5) The Gay Blade 17/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago. Likely to be back on his game with return to this trip in his favour.
6f-7f wins before finding 5f too sharp; probably still on a competitive mark.

(9) Back From Dubai 22/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Gives his running more often than not, so could bounce back.
Best at Southwell but effective here and latest race reportedly came too soon.

Some promise in four French runs but beat only one rival in three starts for this yard.
LTO Selection:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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