The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(7) My Margie 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, third of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and she could well have more to offer now stamina is tested further. Had wind op. Progressive form last summer and she looks interesting on handicap debut; had wind surgery.

2nd (1) (11/2 -100%) Yaajooz
5.5
11/2(-100%)
(1) Yaajooz 11/2, Son of Ten Sovereigns who progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o for Charlie Fellowes, good third of 12 in novice at Yarmouth (7f) in October. Changed hands for 28,000 gns/gelded thereafter and very much the type to go om improving now handicapping. Progressive in 7f novice events and he needs a close look on his handicap/stable debut.

3rd (4) (9/2 +18%) Wait And Hope
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(4) Wait And Hope 9/2, Winner at Kempton in January. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 5 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Record of 132 since switched to handicaps and his latest second was over C&D; respected.

4th (8) (18/1 -177%) Jolty Jem
18
18/1(-177%)
(8) Jolty Jem 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden who readily surpassed previous efforts when second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 100/1) 34 days ago, ridden over 2f out and keeping on. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on for handicap debut and return to further shouldn't hold any fears. 100-1 second at Kempton and has claims if he can build on that on his handicap debut.
5th

5th (2) (7/2 +61%) Master Franca
3.5
7/2(+61%)
(2) Master Franca 7/2, Winner at Lingfield in October. 10/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Looks fairly exposed after eight starts and he needs to find more at this new trip.
6th

6th (6) (11/1 -10%) Dan Dee Prince
11
11/1(-10%)
(6) Dan Dee Prince 11/1, Fair gelding. Winner at Leicester (7f) in August prior to a good second from 6 lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) later that month. Not at same level in 2 starts thereafter though and has since left Tom Dascombe. Well held in final two runs for Tom Dascombe and has some questions to answer for new yard.
7th
5
7th (5) (15/2 +25%) Persian Phoenix
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(5) Persian Phoenix 15/2, Better with each outing in maiden/novice company, off the mark over 7f here in June. Didn't kick on in trio of handicap starts thereafter last summer and market may prove a useful guide as to expectations back from 6 months off. Disappointing in nurseries last season and has something to prove on her return.
8th
3
8th (3) (5/1 +44%) Never Sell
5
5/1(+44%)
(3) Never Sell 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran up to best having been gelded when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in October. Absent again since but this step up in trip could well play to his strengths with cheekpieces now enlisted. Still unexposed but he needs improvement upped in trip after another break; headgear on.
16:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 8.5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not beaten far behind a subsequent winner over C&D last time out, WAIT AND HOPE sets the form standard and he can regain the winning thread for his in-form yard. That may be at the main expense of the handicap-debutant My Margie, and Yaajooz, who must be of interest going up in trip on his first start for the George Boughey yard.
Despite looking a work-in-progress, YAAJOOZ encouragingly showed race-by-race progress in a trio of novice events for Charle Fellowes as a juvenile and, gelded ahead of this yard/handicap debut, he's fancied to prove his opening mark a lenient one. Wait And Hope comes here in form and is feared, whilst Jolty Jem and My Margie are a couple of handicap debutantes to note in the betting.
This looks tricky but George Boughey's new recruit YAAJOOZ gets the vote ahead of another handicap newcomer in My Margie.
(2) Kings Merchant 8/13, Lightly-raced gelding. Creditable second of 5 in maiden (1/3) at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Runner-up in 3 of his 4 starts; beaten at short odds last time but still high on the list.
2
3
2nd (3) (3/1 -33%) Miss Anya
3
3/1(-33%)
(3) Miss Anya 3/1, Fair filly who ran her best race when caught near the finish in a C&D nursery last October. Possible she needed the run when below par on her 6f course reappearance and this might be her day. Her best 2yo run came over C&D; not at her best 19 days ago; favoured by the weights.
3
1
3rd (1) (4/1 -129%) Ingleby Archie
4
4/1(-129%)
(1) Ingleby Archie 4/1, Fair maiden. Turned over at very short odds on his Southwell reappearance and now sports cheekpieces. Bang there on last year's form. Beaten at 1-8 on last month's return but big player on 2yo best; cheekpieces now added.
4
4
4th (4) (50/1 -257%) Duely Spiced
50
50/1(-257%)
(4) Duely Spiced 50/1, Runner-up over 6f/7f at 2 but well held over both starts this year. Now drops in trip with a visor added. She isn't progressing and faces a stiff task at the weights dropping to 5f; visor added.
16:40 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A small but competitive field where it could pay to side with the largely unexposed KINGS MERCHANT, who is entitled to improve on a runner-up effort on his return at Newcastle recently. Second on three of his four career outings, the son of Bated Breath deserves a change in luck and he can get the better of the similarly consistent Ingleby Archie. Narrowly denied over C&D last October, Miss Anya cannot be ruled out either.
If MISS ANYA is back to the form she showed when worn down only near the finish in a C&D nursery last autumn she might take a bit of pegging back from the 1 box. Ingleby Archie can give her most to do.
A race to tread carefully with and INGLEBY ARCHIE is only tentatively preferred to Kings Merchant and Miss Anya.
16:40 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Toxic 8/1, 4,000 gns foal, Rajasinghe filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Red Gulch. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Bred for shorter but yard in form and a market move for this newcomer would be interesting.
2
8
2nd (8) (9/2 -100%) Maritime Lady
4.5
9/2(-100%)
(8) Maritime Lady 9/2, Built on her debut effort when fourth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 15 days ago, staying on late. Could be ready to get off the mark with more still to come over this longer distance. Promise in two outings over 7f and this longer trip should suit; gets the vote.
3
6
3rd (6) (5/2 +38%) Rosy Kiss
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(6) Rosy Kiss 5/2, Improved from her first outing when second of 9 in minor event (9/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) in December. Enters calculations upped further in trip. Better effort at two when second at Lingfield (1m) in December; respected.
4
5
4th (5) (6/1 +25%) Reyaadah Star
6
6/1(+25%)
(5) Reyaadah Star 6/1, Made appeal on paper, but stumbled and unseated rider at the start in maiden at Southwell (11.1f, 14/1) on debut 11 days ago. Worth another chance. 14-1 when unseating at the start on her Southwell debut.
5th
2
5th (2) (40/1 -400%) Adelabella
40
40/1(-400%)
(2) Adelabella 40/1, Went backwards from her first run when fifth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Needs to find more as she goes up in distance. Has shown ability in two outings at Chelmsford in recent weeks; won't need much more.
6th
3
6th (3) (2/1 +80%) Nancy P
2
2/1(+80%)
(3) Nancy P 2/1, Showed bit more than on debut when fourth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 125/1) in November. Further improvement required over this longer trip on her return. Showed a bit in two outings over 7f (turf/AW) last autumn; may do better.
7th
9
7th (9) (18/1 -13%) Northstead Gardens
18
18/1(-13%)
(9) Northstead Gardens 18/1, Offered some encouragement on debut, but merely closed up late when ninth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (25/1) 12 days ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps. Fourth on C&D debut but only ninth back here since.
8th
1
8th (1) (100/1 -1011%) One Colour
100
100/1(-1011%)
(1) One Colour 100/1, Won back-to-back bumpers before well-beaten eighth of 13 to Avakate in listed event at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft, 12/1) when last seen in December. Makes first start in this sphere having left Rae Guest. Dual bumper winner for Rae Guest; starts out on the Flat in an ordinary race.
9th
7
9th (7) (150/1 -200%) Ten To The Top
150
150/1(-200%)
(7) Ten To The Top 150/1, Very green first time up when well-beaten tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 200/1) 10 days ago. Looks one for the longer term. Sent off at 250-1 when well held on recent debut..
17:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MARITIME LADY has shaped on both career outings over 7f as though a step up in trip is exactly what is needed for this daughter of Crystal Ocean. The James Owen stable has been in fine form of late, and she is narrowly preferred to Rosy Kiss, who displayed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up at Lingfield last December. Toxic could be of interest on debut if garnering any market support.
MARITIME LADY took a step forward from her debut effort when fourth at Newcastle 15 days ago, shaping as if she would benefit from going up in trip, so she is taken to continue her progress and open her account. The main danger could be Rosy Kiss, who knew more than on her first start when runner-up at Lingfield, with Reyaadah Star completing the shortlist.
James Owen's MARITIME LADY shaped as if a longer trip could suit her when fourth over 7f at Newcastle and might be up to the task.
17:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Mamalouka 2/1, Made it 3 wins in her last 4 starts when pulling 3 lengths clear over 9.5f here a week ago. Handicapper hasn't missed her with an 8 lb rise but she's thriving and could make another bold bid if her stamina holds now up in trip. Progressive; three wins this year from 1m-1m2f; thriving and not dismissed lightly.
2
3
2nd (3) (20/1 -67%) Capla Mojo
20
20/1(-67%)
(3) Capla Mojo 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (1m) 35 days ago. Significantly longer trip needs to spark improvement. Not beaten far on debut but hasn't built on that; hopes rest on a step up in trip.
3
5
3rd (5) (10/3 -11%) Flowering
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(5) Flowering 10/3, Did too much too soon when 7¼ lengths third of 7 to Pegasus of Harry over C&D 19 days ago. Could get a lot closer to that rival if ridden more conservatively this time. Third to Pegasus Of Harry here last time and now 10lb better off; interesting contender.
4
2
4th (2) (13/2 +19%) Pilgrim Of Culture
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(2) Pilgrim Of Culture 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at this course (8.6f, 14/1) 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. Modest form; needs to improve for today's significantly longer distance on handicap debut.
5th
1
5th (1) (7/4 -7%) Pegasus Of Harry
1.75
7/4(-7%)
(1) Pegasus Of Harry 7/4, Much improved when winning 7-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Raised 10 lb but there could easily be more to come. Convincing C&D winner last time and seems sure to go well again even with a 10lb rise.
17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PEGASUS OF HARRY bolted up on just her second start in a handicap over C&D earlier this month and a 10lb hike may not be enough to anchor Marco Botti's charge. Fellow impressive last-time-out winner Mamalouka looks to be the main danger to the selection, although the step up in trip and 8lb rise in the handicap are a concern, while Pilgrim Of Culture also commands attention on her handicap debut for a top stable.
PEGASUS OF HARRY relished the step up in trip when scoring comfortably over C&D at the beginning of the month and may be able to overcome a 10 lb hit from the handicapper. Flowering was better than the result behind the selection last time and is second choice ahead of Mamalouka.
Pegasus Of Harry was impressive here last time but third-placed FLOWERING may well gain her revenge on today's revised terms.
(1) Navello 22/1, Course winner. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 101 days. Now 4lb lower than when winning the Epsom Dash but lost his form in second half of 2023.
2
3
2nd (3) (9/1 +10%) Leap Abroad
9
9/1(+10%)
(3) Leap Abroad 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (6f) 34 days ago. Something to find on form. Best when making running; won here in November; not dismissed under 7lb claimer.
3
8
3rd (8) (6/1 +14%) Habooba
6
6/1(+14%)
(8) Habooba 6/1, Winner at Lingfield in December. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/4) 56 days ago. Can't be discounted. Lingfield winner in December; second there next time is solid form; still unexposed.
3
5
3rd (5) (11/1 -120%) Muscika
11
11/1(-120%)
(5) Muscika 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 8/1) 16 days ago. Should be on the premises again. 16-time winner, thrice here; arrives in good form and respected again.
5th
7
5th (7) (11/2 +21%) Tyger Bay
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(7) Tyger Bay 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 15/2) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration. C&D winner; did well at Lingfield last time after blowing the start; solid chance.
6th
4
6th (4) (10/3 -48%) Ice Cool Harry
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(4) Ice Cool Harry 10/3, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (9/4) at this C&D 43 days ago by ¾ length from Muscika, slowly away. Quirky, but still unexposed and remains well treated, so worth a chance to follow up. Lightly raced 4yo; cajoled along to score here in February; dangerous if in same mood.
7th
2
7th (2) (2/1 +43%) Laheg
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Laheg 2/1, C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 48 days ago by short head from Muscika. Remains on a fair mark and seems likely to go well again. Up just 2lb for gutsy Lingfield win and should be in the thick of things once more.
8th
6
8th (6) (14/1 -17%) Pockley
14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Pockley 14/1, 7/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago, merely closing up late. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. In and out this winter, winning at Newcastle; 0-3 at Wolverhampton; others preferred.
18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LAHEG led close home to narrowly beat Muscika over 6f at Lingfield last month and, despite the latter being marginally better off at the weights this time around, the former is expected to confirm that form. Ice Cool Harry raced keenly before hanging left in the straight when winning over C&D recently, and that success was a testament to his obvious ability, but he will need to settle better if he is to defy a 4lb higher mark here.
ICE COOL HARRY did well to get up after a slow start over C&D last time and, with a solid pace on the cards, he's expected to do better again, so he's marginally preferred to Laheg, who remains on a fair mark after his cosy success at Lingfield. Muscika has been beaten by both of the aforementioned pair recently but should still be on the premises.
The suggestion is TYGER BAY who did well after blowing the start at Lingfield last time and whose previous C&D run resulted in a win.
(6) Sisters In The Sky 11/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Left behind a lesser effort when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 3 weeks ago. Capable of getting involved. On a losing run but he's run some solid races over C&D this winter; one to consider.
2
1
2nd (1) (6/4 +45%) Bernie The Bear
1.5
6/4(+45%)
(1) Bernie The Bear 6/4, Three wins from 11 runs last year, with latest success at this C&D in December. Better than result when fourth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at this course (7.2f) 4 days ago, stumbling before 3f out. Major player. Series of good runs for this yard and likely to be in the thick of it once again.
3
5
3rd (5) (7/2 +0%) Fircombe Hall
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(5) Fircombe Hall 7/2, Course winner. Confirmed promise of previous run when successful in 9-runner minor event (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago, just holding on. One to consider in his current form. Two wins this winter and this not much stronger than the classified event he won last week.
4
7
4th (7) (11/1 -175%) Viewfromthestars
11
11/1(-175%)
(7) Viewfromthestars 11/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Soon back on track when second of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 11/4) 23 days ago, despite having raced freely. Could be thereabouts once more. Second in two of his last three starts but 0-27 and he'll need luck in running.
5th
10
5th (10) (17/2 +15%) Tommytwohoots
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(10) Tommytwohoots 17/2, C&D winner. Fared better than of late when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 12 days ago. Not discounted at this venue. C&D win in November; not beaten far here 12 days ago but headgear is now left off.
6th
3
6th (3) (10/1 +0%) Princess Naomi
10
10/1(+0%)
(3) Princess Naomi 10/1, Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 6/1) 13 days ago, denied clear run early in straight. Lurks on a dangerous mark as she drops back down in trip. Thrown in on last spring's turf form; not really fired this winter but yard is going well.
7th
4
7th (4) (22/1 -120%) Port Noir
22
22/1(-120%)
(4) Port Noir 22/1, C&D winner. Run best excused when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 22/1) 12 days ago, badly hampered approaching final 1f. However, she needs to find more to take advantage of her falling mark. Needs things to fall right for her and no guarantee there will be a suitable pace for her.
8th
2
8th (2) (22/1 -120%) Zeno
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Zeno 22/1, Went the wrong way after his debut, in first-time cheekpieces when last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) last summer. Needs to get back on track after 9 months off (has been gelded). Unexposed; absent since a low-key h'cap debut nine months ago; can't discount.
9th
11
9th (11) (100/1 -300%) Pink Stripes
100
100/1(-300%)
(11) Pink Stripes 100/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Has finished down the field all 3 starts this year, last of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 125/1) a month ago. Best watched. Exposed 21-race maiden who hasn't found her form yet this year.
18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FIRCOMBE HALL made his return to 6f a winning one when scoring in a classified event at Newcastle last week and, pitched back into handicap company, he gets the tentative vote to come home in front. Bernie The Bear's recent fourth over 7f here can be upgraded after he clipped heels at a crucial stage, and he warrants respect off an unchanged mark, while Viewfromthestars is also noted.
BERNIE THE BEAR has been going through a good spell for his current yard, not having things go his way when fourth here on his latest outing, so he could be ready to return to winning ways this time around. Viewfromthestars did well under the circumstances when runner-up at Chelmsford last month and is next on the list, ahead of Fircombe Hall.
An open race in which SISTERS IN THE SKY is tentatively preferred to Princess Naomi and Bernie The Bear.
(8) Red Walls 18/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Last of 9 in minor event (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to find on form. Three wins this winter but he was a remote last of nine at Newcastle on Monday.
1
2
1st (2) (6/1 -50%) Buraback
6
6/1(-50%)
(2) Buraback 6/1, Losing run is mounting up but gradually eased in weights and best effort for current yard when second of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Worth considering if he can build on that here. On reduced mark and he showed signs of a revival when runner-up at Southwell; dangerous.
2
6
2nd (6) (3/1 +79%) Alfred Cove
3
3/1(+79%)
(6) Alfred Cove 3/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, second of 7 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 2 days ago. Runner-up at Southwell on Thursday but he's now 1-28 and is not easy to predict.
3
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -67%) Monsieur Fantaisie
20
20/1(-67%)
(4) Monsieur Fantaisie 20/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 21 days ago, reverting to her slow starting ways and meeting with trouble. Will need things to fall just right drawn widest of all. Well held in two C&D runs for new yard and needs new headgear to give him a boost.
4
1
4th (1) (2/1 +56%) Bear To Dream
2
2/1(+56%)
(1) Bear To Dream 2/1, Latest win at Chelmsford in February. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 12 days ago, staying on final 1f having come from further back than the front pair. One of the likelier types. Record of 223413 this year and her latest third was over C&D 12 days ago; respected.
5th
7
5th (7) (14/1 +0%) Coast
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Coast 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. 18/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, weakening approaching final 1f having been up with the strong pace. Mark has eased a little more. Won at Lingfield in January but has not come close to that form since; down the list.
6th
3
6th (3) (11/1 -83%) Q Twenty Boy
11
11/1(-83%)
(3) Q Twenty Boy 11/1, 11/4, ¾-length fourth of 7 to Admirable Lad in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not out of things returned to handicap company. Won over C&D in January and was a close second here on penultimate run; in the mix.
7th
9
7th (9) (6/1 +57%) Billian
6
6/1(+57%)
(9) Billian 6/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 77 days ago, forced to switch over 1f out and never on terms. Others preferred back from a break. On dangerous mark but he's finished down the field in last four runs; opposable.
8th
10
8th (10) (15/2 +53%) Balmy Breese
7.5
15/2(+53%)
(10) Balmy Breese 15/2, 11/1, first run since leaving Sarah Hollinshead when sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, losing place gradually. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 14-race maiden who was well held on recent stable debut; now returns to 6f in new headgear.
19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Bear To Dream has held her form well of late and is a must for the shortlist in this company, while Balmy Breese, who tries first-time cheekpieces, is dangerous to underestimate from the bottom of the handicap based on his peak efforts. However, connections of MONSIEUR FANTAISIE also have also opted to experiment with the same headgear and, with the possibility of him breaking more sharply, this could be a good time to side with the Peter Niven-trained gelding.
BURABACK ran his best race yet for his present stable from a sliding mark when chasing home a class-dropper at Southwell 7 days ago and he could be worth chancing to build on that here. Bear To Dream and Admirable Lad are other in-form sorts to consider, with Q Twenty Boy not out of things either.
The vote goes to BEAR TO DREAM, who has a record of 223413 this year and that latest third was an eyecatching effort over C&D.
(5) Trojan Truth 7/1, 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Can get involved if he's straight enough for this return. Just 1-16 but he's on a workable mark and is effective on Tapeta; watch market on return.

2nd (7) (18/1 -177%) Kingston Joy

18/1(-177%)
(7) Kingston Joy 18/1, 11/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, merely closing up late. On a handy mark and shouldn't be discounted. Inconsistent sort with a record of 1-12 and others are more convincing.

3rd (1) (10/11 +60%) Snooze Lane
0.909091
10/11(+60%)
(1) Snooze Lane 10/11, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Got back on the scoresheet over C&D last week and a 3lb rise looks fair; big player.

9/1(-29%)
(2) Seraphic 9/1, 15/2, second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f) 37 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Not sure to be in the same form. Sole win came in a claiming hurdle and his latest Flat run was at 2m; others preferred.

9/2(+18%)
(4) Edmund Ironside 9/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. 13/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Should give another good account. Won at Lingfield in November and he's held his form since then; should go well again.
6th

6th (9) (25/1 -178%) Tawtheef
25
25/1(-178%)
(9) Tawtheef 25/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, eighth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive. His last win was in May 2022 and he has some work to do from a wide draw here.
7th

7th (3) (10/1 -67%) Sir Titan

10/1(-67%)
(3) Sir Titan 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Others look better treated. Ended a 21-race losing run at Lingfield in January but he's faded in his last two starts.
8th

8th (8) (18/1 -29%) Barbarosa

18/1(-29%)
(8) Barbarosa 18/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Winner at Lingfield in February. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 12/1) 25 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Won a classified at Lingfield in February but he beat only one back in a handicap latest.
9th

9th (10) (80/1 -300%) Rainbow Mirage

80/1(-300%)
(10) Rainbow Mirage 80/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 9 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Plenty to prove. Most wins have come in sprints and she's regressed sharply in the past year; opposable.
19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
EDMUND IRONSIDE has been threatening to land one of these modest handicaps for a while now and, with the return to this trip a possible reason for improvement, the Michael Attwater-trained gelding looks worth chancing off a competitive mark. Trojan Truth is another who has been knocking on the door and warrants close inspection, while Barbarosa got no luck in running last time and could bounce back with a clear run.
SNOOZE LANE was back to his best when scoring with a bit to spare over C&D last time and there's a good chance he'll follow up from a mark that still looks feasible. Another solid showing is expected from Edmund Ironside.
Top of the list is SNOOZE LANE (nap), who finished well when scoring over C&D last week and a 3lb rise for that success looks fair.
(1) Crafter 6/5, C&D winner. Winner here in December. Very good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get back to winning ways if the pace is solid. Has a largely consistent record over C&D; good third last week; solid contender.

2nd (7) (10/1 -54%) Prince Hector

10/1(-54%)
(7) Prince Hector 10/1, C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. Winner here in December. 9/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Strong in the betting last time and isn't one to completely rule out. C&D winner; latest race didn't go smoothly for him; treated as still in form.

3rd (3) (11/2 -144%) Moon Over The Sea

11/2(-144%)
(3) Moon Over The Sea 11/2, Three wins from 13 runs last year. 7/2, back on track to land 8-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Last three races include two wins at this venue; should remain competitive.

4th (2) (10/3 +52%) Come On John
3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(2) Come On John 10/3, C&D winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 57 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has fallen to a workable mark and shouldn't be ruled out. Won off 1lb higher over C&D in November; good chance if back to that form.
5th

5th (6) (7/1 -17%) Kingwell
7
7/1(-17%)
(6) Kingwell 7/1, Course winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago. One to consider. Largely consistent since last autumn; frame possibilities on most of that form.
6th

6th (4) (12/1 -20%) Portoro
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Portoro 12/1, 16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 23 days ago. Hood back on. Has a fair bit to prove at present but still warrants a market check. Still has something to prove on AW but may do better off this reduced mark.
7th

7th (5) (40/1 -300%) Premiership

40/1(-300%)
(5) Premiership 40/1, Three wins from 6 runs last year. Last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Poor form on AW; has done all his winning at 1m on turf.

8th (9) (150/1 -650%) Vaudevillian

150/1(-650%)
(9) Vaudevillian 150/1, 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Poor maiden who still has no placed form; opposed.
20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having won over this course and distance in January and then again over the extended mile here on his latest start, MOON OVER THE SEA has a lot going for him in this company and is fancied to extend his run of good form. Crafter, who is also a previous C&D winner, is feared most, with the burden of top-weight not expected to cause too many problems, although Kingwell can also get competitive off 3lb below his last winning rating.
CRAFTER kept on well from an unpromising position when third over C&D last time and he should put up a bold showing provided the race is run to suit. Last-time-out winner Moon Over The Sea is a danger and Kingwell can't be ruled out.
Topweight CRAFTER looks poised to record a second C&D success. Moon Over The Sea is second choice.
