1	4 1st (4) (6/4 +33%) Come On John		1.5 6/4(+33%)																															(4) Come On John 6/4, Course winner. 3/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 6 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Back up in trip. He's found one too good 5 times since scoring in October and another win can't be far away. Mainly consistent since his last win and went close last time; respected off same mark.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +30%) National Health		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(6) National Health 7/2, 7/1, suited by the step up in trip when second of 11 in minor event at this C&D 3 weeks ago. He shouldn't be too long in opening his account. 0-12, but placed in last three starts in 0-50 classified events here; contender.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -144%) Lednikov		11 11/1(-144%)																															(5) Lednikov 11/1, 16/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 19 days ago, responding well to front-running tactics. 3 lb higher and fancied to be bang there once again. All three AW wins at Southwell including last time, but well held in four visits here.
4	7 4th (7) (33/1 +34%) Anticipating		33 33/1(+34%)																															(7) Anticipating 33/1, 66/1, offered little back up in trip after 7 weeks off when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. 0-10 and not beaten many in four starts on the AW since joining this yard; cheekpieces on.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -67%) Avarice		20 20/1(-67%)																															(3) Avarice 20/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap (125/1) at Kempton (12f) 33 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. 9 lb below last winning mark and interesting to see market support. 9lb lower than when winning this race three years ago; market support would be significant.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +27%) Bloodhound		4 4/1(+27%)																															(2) Bloodhound 4/1, Showed a lot more on third outing for current yard when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 5 weeks ago. Can make presence felt from the same mark. 0-13 but finished runner-up over C&D last time; each-way claims at least from same mark.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/2 +35%) Desert Guest		5.5 11/2(+35%)																															(8) Desert Guest 11/2, Has shown little to date, well-beaten eighth of 9 in maiden (150/1) at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could well prove a different proposition now significantly upped in trip. Well held in three AW maidens and not sure longer trip is the answer on handicap debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -267%) Misaura		33 33/1(-267%)																															(1) Misaura 33/1, Showed a lot more on qualifying run when third of 8 in novice (40/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 65 days ago. Makes handicap debut and may have more to offer. Better effort when third in a Southwell novice last time; more needed on handicap debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -200%) Artemesia		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Artemesia 150/1, Fared no better after 4 months off when last of 9 in minor event (40/1) at this course (9.5f) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has failed to beat a rival in four starts; needs to find a deal of improvement.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

LEDNIKOV was not for catching when making all in style over this distance at Southwell last time out and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a fifth career success. Well behind him on that occasion was Come On John (sixth), who subsequently improved to finish second over shorter here last week, while National Health is another to note, having been placed on his last three starts here.

Preference is for COME ON JOHN, who has hit the crossbar on several occasions since opening his account for this yard back in October and James Owen's 6-y-o deserves to get the rub of the green (caught further back than ideal here last week). Heading up the dangers is Lednikov, who responded well to front-running tactics to end a long losing run at Southwell recently, while Bloodhound and Desert Guest both warrant a second look, too.

This can go to COME ON JOHN who has been consistent since his last win and is off the same mark as when a close second six days ago.

1	5 1st (5) (11/8 +39%) Aviano		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(5) Aviano 11/8, 13,000 yearling, Ulysses colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Iconic Choice and 1½m winner Northern Choice and half-brother to 9f winner Glittering Choice. Wears tongue strap. Interesting to see what the betting makes of this newcomer. Market useful on debut; refused to enter stalls on his intended debut; tongue-tie on.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/1 -67%) Preanka		2 2/1(-67%)																															(4) Preanka 2/1, Won on Windsor debut (6f) last June. Had excuses when 8½ lengths sixth of 7 to Soldier's Heart in listed race at Ripon (6f, good to firm 4 weeks later (final start for Alice Haynes). Big player on return for new trainer Stuart Williams. Winning debut last summer but then held in Listed company; watch market on stable debut.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 -8%) Wise Stars		7 7/1(-8%)																															(9) Wise Stars 7/1, Promising individual. Third of 8 in maiden (7/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to improve and go well again. Beaten less than a length into third of eight on her Kempton debut 12 days ago; respected.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 +68%) Up The Monk		16 16/1(+68%)																															(6) Up The Monk 16/1, 33/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f) on debut 18 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. Fifth of seven on last month's Chelmsford debut; improvement needed.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/2 +71%) Babylon		3.5 7/2(+71%)																															(3) Babylon 7/2, Modest form in 2 outings on turf at the end of last summer. Best watched unless the betting suggests improvement is anticipated. Some promise in two starts as a 2yo, but handicaps over further may be more his thing.
6th	11 6th (11) (150/1 -88%) Belabambina		150 150/1(-88%)																															(11) Belabambina 150/1, Down the field in 2 turf maidens at the end of last summer. Well held in two starts on turf last year; best watched on return from six months off.
7th	12 7th (12) (125/1 -150%) Queen Sansa		125 125/1(-150%)																															(12) Queen Sansa 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (9/1) at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. Preanka surely the yard's main hope. Out of the frame in both starts but was sent off favourite on debut; watch market.
8th	10 8th (10) (150/1 -88%) Amber Honey		150 150/1(-88%)																															(10) Amber Honey 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. Out of the frame in two starts on Polytrack last month; looks one for handicaps after this.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 +0%) I Was Thinking		80 80/1(+0%)																															(1) I Was Thinking 80/1, Make Believe gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 12.3f Mickdaam. Drawn widest on belated debut and stable wouldn't be noted for winning newcomers.
10th	2 10th (2) (200/1 -60%) Iflookscouldkill		200 200/1(-60%)																															(2) Iflookscouldkill 200/1, 250/1, eleventh of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 54 days ago. Well beaten on her belated debut at Kempton in January; best watched for now.
11th	8 11th (8) (200/1 -100%) Metamora		200 200/1(-100%)																															(8) Metamora 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 125/1) 12 days ago. Preanka looks very much the stable first string. Beaten a total of one rival in two starts on Polytrack; may show more once handicapping.

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PREANKA won in decent style on her debut at Windsor before finding Listed company a step too far at Ripon in August. She sets a decent standard for this grade and is expected to be a tough nut to crack, having switched to Stuart Williams since her last run. Magna Grecia Star ran with promise to finish third at Kempton and she is likely to enter the reckoning, while others to consider include Wise Stars and Up The Monk.

PREANKA had an excuse when well held in a listed race on only her second start and can resume her progression and make a winning return for new trainer Stuart Williams. Wise Stars and Magna Grecia Star showed promise when placed on the same card at Kempton recently and look the main threats unless the betting speaks in the favour of Marco Botti newcomer Aviano.

Two of these finished third on debut at Kempton 12 days ago. MAGNA GRECIA STAR is preferred as the time of her race was much quicker.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +38%) Lady Wingalong		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(2) Lady Wingalong 5/2, Four 7f wins last year (including here) and showed she's equally as effective at 6f when making all at Southwell last month. Should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher. Enjoyed the run of the race when winning last time; 3lb rise may leave her vulnerable.
2	8 2nd (8) (15/8 +38%) Autumn Angel		1.875 15/8(+38%)																															(8) Autumn Angel 15/8, C&D winner in January. 11/4, good second of 11 over C&D 6 days ago. Big player off 2 lb lower this time. Dual C&D winner around new year; 2lb lower than when beaten a neck last time; high on list.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 -67%) Back Tomorrow		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(7) Back Tomorrow 15/2, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) 2 days ago. Completed a hat-trick over C&D in January, but this company is much tougher.
4	1 4th (1) (22/1 -100%) Rainyniteingeorgia		22 22/1(-100%)																															(1) Rainyniteingeorgia 22/1, Latest win at Lingfield (5f) in December. 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Not easy to make a case for. Dual Lingfield winner and 1lb lower than for the latest but attempts 6f for the first time.
5th	5 5th (5) (13/2 -18%) Kensington Agent		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(5) Kensington Agent 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Creditable fourth of 8 over C&D (9/2) on reappearance 28 days ago. Won twice over C&D in 2023 and close fourth on return from a break here last time; player.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +10%) Bazball		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Bazball 9/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 66/1 and cheekpieces on first time, first run since leaving Paul Midgley when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 37 days ago. Well treated if able to build on that. Had become disappointing but showed more when fourth last time; claims if building on that.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -129%) Zepparella		16 16/1(-129%)																															(6) Zepparella 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. May have more to offer as a sprinter. 0-5 but beaten less than a length last time; still open to improvement.
8th	3 8th (3) (14/1 +22%) Rhythmic Acclaim		14 14/1(+22%)																															(3) Rhythmic Acclaim 14/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Off since a below-par run at Chelmsford in October and might be best watched on this occasion. Back off last winning mark, but 0-9 on AW and likely to need the run after five months off.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The switch to front-running tactics appeared to make a difference to AUTUMN ANGEL, with Tony Carroll's mare only beaten a neck over C&D last Tuesday. The six-year-old is able to race off a 2lb lower mark here and a repeat of that latest performance should be enough for her to record a sixth career success. Zepparella produced her best effort so far when going close at Kempton last month and she is respected along with Back Tomorrow, who finished third here a fortnight ago.

AUTUMN ANGEL is able to run off 2lb lower than when narrowly denied over C&D last week and must go well is showing up in similar form. Last-time-out Southwell scorer Lady Wingalong should play a prominent role again, while a lightly-raced profile suggests Zepparella could build on a promising first run over 6f at Kempton 12 days ago.

The vote goes to dual C&D scorer AUTUMN ANGEL who is 2lb lower than when beaten a neck back here last Tuesday.

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 14 days ago. Nice chance. C&D winner who drops to this level for the very first time; looks the one to beat.

Creditable fifth of 10 in minor event (11/1) at this course (7.2f) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not beaten far here 13 days ago, but a record of 1-31 makes her less enticing than a few.
6th	9 6th (9) (5/1 -43%) Tilsworth Ony Ta		5 5/1(-43%)																															(9) Tilsworth Ony Ta 5/1, Modest gelding. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account. 0-14 on Tapeta but has been placed in his last two starts back down at this level.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 +21%) Savalas		11 11/1(+21%)																															(8) Savalas 11/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner.

Sold from Tony Carroll 3,400 gns later in February. Has good chance on form. Two wins for Tony Carroll at Southwell this year; claims if in same form on stable debut.

19:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROGUE THUNDER has been running consistently well in handicap company in recent months and this drop into classified company represents a fine opportunity for him to come out on top. Kapparis Kid won at Southwell when last seen and the four-year-old is likely to enter calculations. Tilsworth Ony Ta has benefited from the drop to this level recently and is expected to be competitive.

KAPPARIS KID has already won a couple of similar events this year and has the form to make a winning start for this yard. Rogue Thunder and Tilsworth Ony Ta are others to consider.

The choice is ROGUE THUNDER (nap) who has been running well in handicaps over C&D lately. He drops to this level for the first time.

Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account. Not beaten far in three of last five starts, but needs more on Tapeta for the first time.
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +27%) Nordic Glory		2 2/1(+27%)																															(6) Nordic Glory 2/1, Modest gelding. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt. Only managed to win one of his last 23 starts, but drops to this level for the first time.

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

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

In what looks a trappy affair, NORDIC GLORY gets the tentative vote. He was far from disgraced when third after being keen over C&D last month and, provided he races more economically this time, the six-year-old could prove tough to peg back. Second Collection shaped with promise when third over 5f here recently and another bold bid looks likely upped to 6f, while Available Angel can fill the frame.

STAR OF ATLANTIS made a positive start for this yard when fourth in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and looks a big player if building on that. Second Collection and Nordic Glory should also be bang there.

The vote goes to NORDIC GLORY who finished third from the outside stall in a handicap here a fortnight ago and now drops in class.

1	2 1st (2) (7/4 +7%) Collusion		1.75 7/4(+7%)																															(2) Collusion 7/4, 10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 34 days ago by 1½ lengths from Alafdhal. This 4 lb higher mark may well prove to be within reach. Off the mark at the eighth attempt over C&D last time; another big effort seems likely.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/4 +83%) Ramon Di Loria		2.75 11/4(+83%)																															(10) Ramon Di Loria 11/4, Course winner. 22/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Likely to come up short once more. 6lb below last winning mark, but latest efforts don't suggest he can take advantage.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -10%) Arlecchino's Gift		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) Arlecchino's Gift 11/2, Four-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. 11/1, won 7-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago, having run of race. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should give another good account. Four wins over C&D and successful at Kempton last time; should make his presence felt.
4	5 4th (5) (17/2 +39%) Not Just Yet		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(5) Not Just Yet 17/2, One win from 28 Flat runs. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 days ago, left poorly placed. Readily passed over. Record of 1-28 (0-14 on the AW) suggests that other are more compelling.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +33%) Alafdhal		8 8/1(+33%)																															(4) Alafdhal 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 26 runs last year. 33/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on and, back in Class 6 company, he will be a threat if on-song. Three wins here, the first two over 6f and the latest over 5f in January; thereabouts.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Roman Emperor		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Roman Emperor 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Tongue strap back on and he looks sure to be in the mix once again. Much better effort when beaten a neck at Kempton 12 days ago; shortlisted from same mark.
7th	9 7th (9) (18/1 -13%) Kento		18 18/1(-13%)																															(9) Kento 18/1, First run since leaving Tom Clover when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 6/1) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to raise his game. 0-12 and well held on stable debut last month; needs to step up from that.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -150%) Eight Mile		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) Eight Mile 40/1, 15/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f). Off 159 days ahead of this debut for new yard and sports a first-time hood. Wouldn't be without an each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. Makes his stable debut after five months off; market informative; hood on.

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

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

COLLUSION scored comfortably over this track and trip last time out and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice off 4lb higher. Arlecchino's Gift impressed when making all over this trip at Kempton last month and commands respect off 2lb higher, despite an unfavourable draw. Roman Emperor lost little in defeat when a narrow second at Kempton last time out and another bold bid off an unchanged mark would come as no surprise.

COLLUSION found plenty for pressure when proving 1½ lengths too strong for Alafdhal over this C&D at the end of January and a 4 lb rise may not stop him. Having put in a good shift at Kempton recently, Roman Emperor has to be respected and he is feared most ahead of Arlecchino's Gift and Mighty Gurkha.

Despite being 6lb worse off with his old rival, the less-exposed COLLUSION can confirm January's C&D form with Alafdhal.

1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +31%) The Defiant		11 11/1(+31%)																															(9) The Defiant 11/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago. Opposable. Losing run up to 18 and well behind Beaumadier at Lingfield last time.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +30%) Wedgewood		7 7/1(+30%)																															(3) Wedgewood 7/1, Three-time C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Hasn't got home in her last two starts over C&D and races off the same mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +10%) Buraback		3 3/1(+10%)																															(4) Buraback 3/1, Four-time course winner. Four wins from 20 runs last year. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Shortlist material. Four course wins; ran well in a much better race last time; interesting back at this level.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +0%) Nelson Gay		5 5/1(+0%)																															(1) Nelson Gay 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, not clear run. Likely to find one or two too good. Three-time course winner whose latest run can be forgiven; capable at this level.
5th	10 5th (10) (40/1 -21%) Anglesey Lad		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Anglesey Lad 40/1, First run since leaving David Loughnane when last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/1). Off 146 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. 0-11 and best watched now back from another five months off.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -150%) Some Nightmare		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) Some Nightmare 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow in September. 10/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft). Off 153 days and he's opposable from a win point of view. 6f course winner, but record suggests this first start in five months may be needed.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/8 +69%) Beaumadier		1.375 11/8(+69%)																															(7) Beaumadier 11/8, Winner at Newcastle in January. First run since leaving Daragh Bourke when good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 12/1) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Place possibilities. 1-18 but ran well to finish second on stable debut at Lingfield last time; considered.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 -220%) Basholo		16 16/1(-220%)																															(5) Basholo 16/1, Four-time C&D winner. Four wins from 14 runs last year, the latest here in December. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 20 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Last four wins have come over C&D and just beaten by a subsequent winner here last month.
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -371%) Bernard Spierpoint		40 40/1(-371%)																															(8) Bernard Spierpoint 40/1, 15/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (5f). Off 116 days ahead of this debut for new yard. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Dual C&D winner; worth a market check on stable debut after four months off.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

NELSON GAY would have finished a lot closer but for being denied a clear run at a crucial stage over this track and trip last month, and he gets the vote to atone for that luckless display here. Basholo was a close second at this venue recently and another prominent showing looks likely upped 2lb, while each-way players may want to keep Buraback on side.

BURABACK did well to finish as close as he did in a Class 4 handicap at Chelmsford recently and he is appealing back down in class off the same mark here. If Basholo reproduces the form of her latest C&D second she won't be far away, while Beaumadier and Gustav Graves are others to consider.

This can go to BURABACK who knows his way around here and will find this easier than when third in a Class 4 at Chelmsford last time.

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.

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.
