14:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 9f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (9/4 +70%) Whip Cracker	2.25 9/4(+70%)	(4) Whip Cracker 9/4, Lightly raced sort who ran up to best when fourth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, heavy) on final start in October. Record on AW stands at 1-1 and feasible to think this 4-y-o could have more to offer on the back of just 7 career starts. Unexposed 4yo; ran well in the mud twice last autumn; more to come this year contender.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +60%) Local Hero	4 4/1(+60%)	(6) Local Hero 4/1, 4-y-o colt who boasts a largely progressive profile on AW, adding to his tally at Kempton (1m) in December. Found himself caught further back than ideal when 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Zoffandia in handicap at that venue 17 days ago and he remains of considerable interest. Not seen to best effect behind Zoffandia latest; progressive beforehand; can do better.
1	1 (1) (13/2 -63%) Kingdom Come	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(1) Kingdom Come 13/2, All 4 career victories have come on all-weather, including this corresponding race from a 2 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Showed benefit of comeback run when good second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 86 days ago and likely he'll be thereabouts again. Beat Final Voyage in this race last year off 2lb lower; good 2nd latest; solid contender.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +7%) Symbol Of Light	7 7/1(+7%)	(2) Symbol Of Light 7/1, Dual C&D winner who has been lightly raced by present yard and confirmed himself better than ever when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago. Had run of the race then but foolish to rule out another big run. Impressed when making all at Southwell last month (1m) but he's up 8lb in a better race.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +44%) Two Tempting	10 10/1(+44%)	(3) Two Tempting 10/1, Enjoyed a fine 2024, gaining a fifth success since the spring in 13-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f) in August. Career-high mark enough to anchor him when tenth of 18 in handicap at Ascot (7f) on final start though, and others appeal more for win purposes back from 5 months off. Won five times last year; may not have finished improving; good record fresh; interesting.
13	13 (13) (12/1 +25%) Zoffandia	12 12/1(+25%)	(13) Zoffandia 12/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who looks well bought at 6,500 gns, belying market weakness when opening his account in 9-runner Kempton handicap (1m) 17 days ago. Value for a little extra having come from further back than placed pair then and there's likely more to come. Made winning handicap debut at Kempton despite a slow start; unexposed but in deeper here.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -115%) Final Voyage	14 14/1(-115%)	(5) Final Voyage 14/1, 3-time C&D winner who found only Kingdom Come too strong in this race 12 months ago. Largely consistent subsequently, and he comes here on the back of a good second of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 15 days ago, finishing well. Expected to be in the mix partnered by Billy Loughnane. Ran well from a bad draw in this race last year; form claims but stall 13 is offputting.
11	11 (11) (18/1 -177%) Great Chieftain	18 18/1(-177%)	(11) Great Chieftain 18/1, Progressive during second half of last season, making it 3 wins from last 4 starts with a determined display in 7-runner Newmarket handicap (1m) in August. Absent since but nudged up only 3 lb and feasible to think he could do better yet as a 4-y-o. Did well after being gelded, winning three 1m handicaps on turf; can still rate higher.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -38%) Farasi Lane	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Farasi Lane 22/1, Opened account for present yard at Kempton (1m) last April. Too free returning from 6 months off at Chelmsford in December but more like it when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago, not clear run 2f out but keeping. Step back up in trip in his favour now. On a dangerous mark but 0-9 in Class 2 events; others appeal more.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Tolstoy	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Tolstoy 25/1, Hasn't always been the most straightforward but resurgent for present yard, completing a 7f York hat-trick last summer before going in again at Newcastle (1m) in August. Never figured in Cambridgeshire on final start at Newmarket (9f) the following month and current mark demands more. Had a fine year for new connections in 2024; can blow the start; tough task on return.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -100%) Bajan Bandit	28 28/1(-100%)	(12) Bajan Bandit 28/1, Winless on turf last season but lightly raced on all-weather and he comes here having landed 2 of his last 3 starts in handicaps at Southwell, the latest over 7f 2 weeks ago. This undoubtedly tougher from revised mark, though. Two Southwell wins this year but in CLass 4 company; more required to take this.
10	10 (10) (33/1 +18%) Silent Age	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Silent Age 33/1, Record of 2-4 when trained by Charlie Appleby (both on AW, including over C&D). Not disgraced on back of 10 months off when 4½ lengths sixth of 9 to Zoffandia in handicap at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Entitled to be sharper but others appeal more. Lightly raced and his stable debut/reappearance wasn't too bad; career best needed though.

14:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Having returned to form with a close-up second at Chelmsford 86 days ago, last year's winner KINGDOM COME may be crowned king once more. A 1lb rise in the ratings shouldn't inconvenience the six-year-old and he gets the nod over Symbol Of Light. Julie Camacho's gelding looked better than ever when making all at Southwell last month, but an 8lb higher mark does demand more of him. Great Chieftain and Final Voyage are others to consider.

It may pay to side with one of the 4-y-os with Richard Hannon's LOCAL HERO narrowly selected to come out on top. He shaped with plenty of promise in attempting to come from a long way back when fourth behind re-opposing Zoffandia at Kempton recently and there's a good chance there's more to come from him on all-weather. The latter is an unexposed sort himself and feared, along with last year's 1-2 Kingdom Come and Final Voyage. Symbol of Light is another with a shout.

Whip Cracker looks pick of the 4yos but TWO TEMPTING (nap) had a fine 2024 campaign and can make a winning reappearance.

15:20 Wolverhampton Listed (Class 1) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (15/8 +0%) Jabaara	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(7) Jabaara 15/8, Useful filly. 5/2, head second of 9 to Raqiya in Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood in July (first past the post but drifted right and subsequently disqualified). Off 7 months but still merits serious consideration on her tapeta debut with yard going well. Made good progress last summer and not fully exposed; going left handed a slight niggle.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +20%) Fair Angellica	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Fair Angellica 4/1, Useful filly. Respectable fourth of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 174 days. Makes tapeta debut. Shortlisted. Progressive last year; 3-3 on AW; may do better still but easy lead would appear unlikely.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +18%) Witch Hunter	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Witch Hunter 9/2, Smart gelding. C&D winner. 9/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Classy on his day and recent return came in a race not run to suit; capable of a big run.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +61%) Royal Zabeel	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(3) Royal Zabeel 11/2, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (13/8) at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again. Rapidly improving 4yo; tough task on official figures but suspicion he'll run a big race.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -13%) Willem Twee	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Willem Twee 9/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Below-form ninth of 12 to Night Raider in listed race (14/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 112 days. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Big chance if at his best but he failed to fire twice last autumn; has a rare 7f run today.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -144%) Al Shabab Storm	11 11/1(-144%)	(1) Al Shabab Storm 11/1, Smart gelding. 8/1, 17 lengths last of 9 to Kinross in Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) 175 days ago on his final run for Andrew Balding. Still much respected on his yard/tapeta debut. Progressive last year; unpenalised for Group 3 win; should enjoy the track; stable debut.
2	2 (2) (22/1 -100%) Golden Mind	22 22/1(-100%)	(2) Golden Mind 22/1, Useful gelding. 22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Merits consideration. Enjoyed an easy lead at Kempton last month (6f); more required to win at this level.

15:20 Wolverhampton Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Al Shabab Storm was probably feeling the exertions of a long season when finishing last in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster in September. Now under the tutelage of Marco Botti, the four-year-old isn't taken lightly but may struggle to concede 5lb to JABAARA. The daughter of Exceed And Excel finished a cracking second in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket last July and she rates as the one to beat. Fair Angellica is the pick of the remainder.

This is wide open but Roger Varian has his string in good nick so JABAARA is taken to return in style on her first go on tapeta. Recent Kempton scorer Golden Mind heads the list of dangers with Willem Twee and Al Shabab Storm also worthy of consideration in this intriguing listed event.

Jabaara can progress further this year but WITCH HUNTER can show the benefit of last week's return to action.

15:55 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 3) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (13/8 +13%) Honved	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(8) Honved 13/8, 52,000 gns foal, €100,000 yearling, Zoustar colt. Brother to 8.5f-1¼m winner Clash of Currents. Interesting debutant. 100,000euros half-brother to winner in France; dam a well-related maiden; newcomer of note.
3	3 (3) (15/8 -36%) Miami Matrix	1.875 15/8(-36%)	(3) Miami Matrix 15/8, Promising Invincible Spirit colt who built on debut promise to land 12-runner maiden at this C&D (15/8) 12 days ago. Open to more progress and he's the one to beat. Promise on debut before an easy C&D win 12 days ago; big player despite a 7lb penalty.
7	7 (7) (5/2 +50%) Fearnot	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(7) Fearnot 5/2, 90,000Y. Brother to 6f winner Elfend and useful 6f winner Invincible Gal and also closely related to useful 7f winner African Dream. Dam 6f/7f winner. One to consider on his first run. Eighth foal with his seven siblings all successful; dam a Group 3 winner; interesting.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -60%) Art Of Fox	12 12/1(-60%)	(5) Art Of Fox 12/1, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Fox Avatar. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Considered newcomer. Half-brother to 1m2f winner Fox Avatar (RPR 75); dam a useful sprinter; betting to guide.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Arizona Rock	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Arizona Rock 14/1, Finished well when a promising fourth of 12 to Miami Matrix in maiden at this C&D (16/1) on debut 12 days ago. Sure to do better. Over 7l behind Miami Matrix here 12 days ago but likely to close that gap today.
1	1 (1) (125/1 -25%) It's Tim	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) It's Tim 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 80/1) 24 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Plenty to find on form here though. Modest form in two runs this year; will be of more interest in handicaps over further.
6	6 (6) (125/1 -89%) Crackamour	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Crackamour 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW, 125/1). Off 109 days with work to do. Down the field in two 1m runs last November; handicaps over 1m+ more suitable after this.
2	2 (2) (150/1 -88%) Fighting Queen	150 150/1(-88%)	(2) Fighting Queen 150/1, 4,000 gns 3-y-o, Iffraaj filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to very smart 1m-16.2f winner Raymond Tusk. 4,000gns 3yo; first foal of a 1m AW winner (RPR 91); best watched on belated debut.

15:55 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

MIAMI MATRIX supplemented his debut third at Newcastle when opening his account over C&D 12 days ago. Although a 7lb penalty demands more of Hugo Palmer's colt, his race experience could prove crucial. Art Of Fox, a half-brother to the 76-rated Fox Avatar, is the most attractive of the newcomers judged on pedigree, although market support for Fearnot and Honved would be interesting.

Hugo Palmer's MIAMI MATRIX got off the mark in good style over C&D recently and looks the way to go here with further improvement very much on the cards from this son of Invincible Spirit. Newcomers Honved (second choice) and Fearnot both appeal on paper and are in good hands too so could emerge as the main dangers.

Miami Matrix sets the standard but there are some interesting newcomers on show. HONVED could be worth chancing.

16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2/1 +33%) Brunel Nation	2 2/1(+33%)	(1) Brunel Nation 2/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year, culminating with a 7f Newmarket win in September. Only 1 lb higher here and player if fully revved after 168 days off. Three handicap wins last year; returns on a fair mark but taking on match-fit opponents.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +0%) Follow Your Heart	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(4) Follow Your Heart 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in February. 4/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago, running on. Likely to go well. Three solid runs this year, including C&D; more appealing than many.
5	5 (5) (4/1 -14%) Pressure's On	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Pressure's On 4/1, 11/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) in November. AW winner. Contender if ready to roll on reappearance. Made all at Newmarket when last seen four months ago; easy lead unlikely in this field.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +7%) Intervention	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(2) Intervention 13/2, Three-time C&D winner. Twenty six runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (6f) 8 days ago. 4th in the Listed race on this card in 2024; 10lb lower now; needs to better recent runs.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +17%) Thapa Vc	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(9) Thapa Vc 15/2, Four-time C&D winner. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has dropped to a workable mark. Multiple C&D winner; hasn't found recent races run to suit; lurks on a dangerous mark.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -83%) Enthused	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Enthused 22/1, Lost his way over hurdles in November but no shock were he to revive back on AW Flat after a break. Placed on last two Flat runs but over 1m2f and 1m4f; opposable at 7f after a break.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -108%) Harbour Vision	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Harbour Vision 25/1, Eight-time course winner, including 2 over this trip in November. 16/1, good second of 10 in C&D handicap 25 days ago, clear of rest. Enters the reckoning. Conditions to suit and he ran well over C&D last month; more required up in class.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -65%) Court Of Session	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Court Of Session 66/1, Well held on all 3 outings since joining this yard and hard to fancy. Yet to find his best form for new connections; others look more persuasive.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -52%) Three Yorkshiremen	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Three Yorkshiremen 100/1, Won at Chelmsford last spring but has struggled since. 66/1, seventh of 10 over C&D 25 days ago, very slowly away . Out of sorts so far this winter; drawn wide and looks vulnerable again.

16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INTERVENTION was fourth in a much stronger race than this over 6f at Lingfield eight days ago and he merits plenty of respect off a 3lb lower mark in this company. Harbour Vision hit the crossbar over C&D last time and could make the frame once again, while Follow Your Heart edges out Brunel Nation and Pressure's On to be best of the rest.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART has had a productive winter and may have a fitness edge over returning pair Brunel Nation and Pressure's On.

Follow Your Heart looks solid to go well but THAPA VC could find this being run to suit and he gets the nod.

10	10 (10) (10/3 +26%) Cargin Bhui	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(10) Cargin Bhui 10/3, Course winner. Good second of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Southwell (6f) on reappearance 8 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Not taken lightly. Yet to win a handicap but ran well after a break 8 days ago; now blinkered; big player.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Silky Wilkie	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Silky Wilkie 5/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2023 but given a chance by the handicapper and back to form when second of 9 at Lingfield (6f)) 8 days ago, running on. Good second at Lingfield eight days ago; should go well off the same mark.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +8%) Knebworth	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Knebworth 6/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 9/2) when last seen in October. Second in this race on his 2024 reappearance. Respected. Second in this race on last year's reappearance; added two turf wins; solid contender.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +0%) Habooba	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Habooba 6/1, C&D winner in August and good placed effort at Southwell and Kempton on next 2 starts. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off. Progressive on AW and record for this rider reads 221; good draw; one to take seriously.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +0%) Monsieur Beaulieu	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Monsieur Beaulieu 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. 10/3, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Having a good winter but he'll need another career best to win at this level.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +39%) Sir Les Patterson	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(4) Sir Les Patterson 17/2, Started his career in a positive fashion but has struggled since, including last of 11 at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in October. Would need to see market support to consider. Struggled badly since handicapping; could yet fulfl early promise but there are risks.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +21%) Probe	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Probe 11/1, C&D winner. Also successful at Chelmsford (6f) in November 2023 but last of 6 at Kempton a month later and not seen since. A watching brief is the percentage call from a wide stall. Useful sprinter in 2023, including a C&D win; market revealing after 444 days off.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +0%) Twilight Romance	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Twilight Romance 12/1, Hooded first time, sixth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (6f) on reappearance 15 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Yet to win a handicap but looks well treated and can step up on last month's return.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -100%) Brooklyn Nine Nine	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Brooklyn Nine Nine 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in December. Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Got up late to win a 5f handicap at Southwell in December; big run expected back at 6f.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -67%) Grant Wood	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) Grant Wood 20/1, Four wins from 12 runs last year. Off since midfield in the Silver Cup at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in September. Chance he'll need this. Productive 2024, winning four handicaps; could progress further but back from a break here.

17:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

SILKY WILKIE returned from an unsuccessful spell in Dubai with a promising second in a higher grade at Lingfield recently. Off the same mark, Karl Burke's gelding has to be of interest here. Cargin Bhui was narrowly denied at Southwell last time and may benefit from the first-time application of blinkers, while Habooba should not be underestimated on her seasonal debut.

CARGIN BHUI is well drawn and gets the nod to build on a promising return to action at Southwell last week with blinkers enlisted now. Silky Wilkie bounced back to form when second at Lingfield recently and is feared most ahead of the reappearing Knebworth, who started 2024 with a second place in this race.

Twilight Romance is feared with his comeback behind him but BROOKLYN NINE NINE could benefit from the return to 6f.

6	6 (6) (13/8 +80%) Ancient State	1.625 13/8(+80%)	(6) Ancient State 13/8, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 17/2) 23 days ago. Down in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Not without each-way hope. Looked a tricky ride when 5th on last month's h'cap debut (7f); now tried in a tongue-tie.
2	2 (2) (15/8 +25%) Bank On Kent	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(2) Bank On Kent 15/8, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (7/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago, battling well. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he's the one to beat. Game win in a 6f handicap at Southwell eight days ago; big player despite a 2lb rise.
7	7 (7) (9/2 -35%) Kameko Spirit	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(7) Kameko Spirit 9/2, Very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 5/1) 37 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he has to enter calculations. Placed in 5f Polytrack handicaps the last twice; now tongue tied; should go well.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -23%) Hardlass	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Hardlass 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 46 days ago, left poorly placed. Likely to find one or two too good. Better than the bare result on h'cap debut latest and that race was red hot for the grade.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +36%) Blue Force One	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Blue Force One 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal. No improvement for handicapping in two runs for his new yard; others safer.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +20%) La Mer Grise	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) La Mer Grise 20/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 23 days ago. Back down in trip and she looks set for another struggle. Unplaced all seven starts but has hinted at ability; others preferred for the win.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -50%) Hala Joza	33 33/1(-50%)	(5) Hala Joza 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 50/1) on final run for David Loughnane when last seen in October. Needs to raise her game on handicap/yard debut. Modest form in three 6f runs for D Loughnane; drawn wide on stable debut; no headgear now.
10	10 (10) (125/1 -25%) Miss Campanella	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Miss Campanella 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap (150/1) at this course (6.1f) 18 days ago. Hard to fancy. No improvement for the switch to handicaps here (6f) last month; yet to beat a rival.

KAMEKO SPIRIT contested a fierce battle all the way to the line when beaten a neck into second at Chelmsford in January and is only 2lb higher for that effort. She sports a first-time tongue-tie and looks well placed to record her first career success. Bank On Kent was all out to shed his maiden tag over 6f at Southwell on his most recent start and can go well, while Royal Accord completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to BANK ON KENT, who knuckled down well when belatedly opening his account at Southwell recently and this 2 lb higher mark should be comfortably within reach. Kameko Spirit has been knocking on the door and is second choice ahead of Ancient State.

Bank On Kent and Kameko Spirit are solid but HARDLASS can build on her promising handicap debut.

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (11/4 +69%) Civil Law	2.75 11/4(+69%)	(6) Civil Law 11/4, Four-time C&D winner. 28/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago. Merits consideration. Falling in weights, has a good record at Wolverhampton and makes each-way appeal.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -5%) Arcadian Nights	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Arcadian Nights 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. 10/3, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 20 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. Has a fine strike-rate (11-45); narrow winner at Lingfield last time; in the mix again.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +72%) Son Of Man	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(5) Son Of Man 9/2, 17/2, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D. Off 112 days and he looks vulnerable. Unplaced all four starts for this stable; falling in weights but more to prove than some.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -20%) Eagle Day	6 6/1(-20%)	(4) Eagle Day 6/1, Four-time course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year, the latest here in December. Sixth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Definite chance if able to bounce back. No obvious excuse when beating one home last time; chance may depend on getting easy lead.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -40%) Arthur's Realm	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Arthur's Realm 7/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (10f, heavy) when last seen in October. Has slipped back to last winning mark and he'll be a danger to all if fully tuned-up for this assignment. Won the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar last May but failed to repeat the form; bit to prove.
11	11 (11) (9/1 +25%) Shahbaz	9 9/1(+25%)	(11) Shahbaz 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/2) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Shaped quite well when third at Kempton but failed to fulfil that promise at Southwell.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -113%) Etretat	16 16/1(-113%)	(9) Etretat 16/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Last of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 29 days ago. Will be a threat if able to shrug off that below par Lingfield display. Ran as if amiss at Lingfield in February but no surprise if he bounces back.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Party Island	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Party Island 25/1, 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run, which was his first following a 5-month break, and this step back up in trip can help. 1m was probably an inadequate trip last time; 7-21 on AW; not discounted.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -60%) Expert Witness	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Expert Witness 40/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy, 17/2). Off 134 days ahead of this first run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Todd and she's opposable. Consistent for Sir Mark Todd last season but has to prove she's as effective on AW as turf.
10	10 (10) (125/1 -594%) Laser Focus	125 125/1(-594%)	(10) Laser Focus 125/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Brighton in September. Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 22/1) 10 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Last of seven back on Flat at Kempton ten days ago; much more required off same mark.

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ARCADIAN NIGHTS successfully completed a double in this grade at Lingfield last month and the assessor might have been kind to only put him up 2lb. The seven-year-old has five previous course successes to further aid his cause and can continue his brilliant form. If Eagle Day can reproduce his second over track and trip on his penultimate start, then he could get into contention, while Etretat looks best of the rest.

If on-song following a break ARTHUR'S REALM will have every chance. Ed Dunlop's charge has dipped back to the mark off which he registered his latest success at Beverley last spring and he shades preference ahead of Al Waqidi and Civil Law.

Arcadian Nights and Al Waqidi are respected but five-time course winner CIVIL LAW gets the vote.
