1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -14%) Fox Flame	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Fox Flame 4/1, Fair maiden who ran creditably when third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 5/1) 34 days ago, though went in snatches. Up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.2/1 +27%) Damascus Steel	2.2 2.2/1(+27%)	(2) Damascus Steel 2.2/1, Hinted at ability in novice events in 2022 and looks the type to do better now venturing into handicaps up in trip. Has been gelded since last seen.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 -20%) Secret Contact	3 3/1(-20%)	(3) Secret Contact 3/1, 10/3, good ½-length second of 6 to Margaret Beaufort in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Meets that rival on 6 lb better terms so could reverse the form.
4	4 4th (4) (2.75/1 +17%) Margaret Beaufort	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(4) Margaret Beaufort 2.75/1, 11/4, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 3 days ago by ½ length from Secret Contact, driven out. Carries 6 lb penalty and looks sure to go well in her hat-trick bid.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Margaret Beaufort arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having proved too strong for SECRET CONTACT (second) when the pair met over this C&D on Saturday. However, with George Scott's filly carrying a 6lb penalty, there is every chance the latter can reverse that form to gain her first victory. Fox Flame is capable of being in the mix with the step up in trip potentially in his favour.

SECRET CONTACT and Margaret Beaufort were separated by only half a length over C&D 3 days ago, so on 6 lb better terms, the former is taken to gain her revenge and come out on top. Damascus Steel appeals as the type to do better now tackling a low-grade handicap over a markedly longer trip and requires a market check.

A quick rematch between MARGARET BEAUFORT and Secret Contact, who were first and second over C&D on Saturday.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Duke Of Oxford	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(1) Duke Of Oxford 2.75/1, Once-raced winner. Won 9-runner minor event (4/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 31 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. More needed here under a penalty but may well improve for this step up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.1/1 +51%) Captain Potter	1.1 1.1/1(+51%)	(2) Captain Potter 1.1/1, Promising type. Second of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 6/1) on debut 8 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to be suited by this stiffer test and he's high on the shortlist. Yard also saddles Grain of Hope.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 +20%) Poet's Prize	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Poet's Prize 16/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/2, 7½ lengths eighth of 9 to Duke of Oxford in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 31 days ago. Up in trip and clearly has work to do.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -20%) Super Mo	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Super Mo 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/4 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Duke of Oxford in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 31 days ago. Back up in trip and shouldn't be far away.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 -64%) Postergal	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(8) Postergal 4.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, fourth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago. Up in trip and improvement could be on the way.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 +47%) Bridle Beauty	80 80/1(+47%)	(4) Bridle Beauty 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at this course (9.5f) 17 days ago. Up in trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (125/1 -56%) Queen Of Steel	125 125/1(-56%)	(7) Queen Of Steel 125/1, Modest filly. First run since leaving J. Reynier when seventh of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 150/1) on UK debut 13 days ago. Up in trip.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 -100%) Grain Of Hope	18 18/1(-100%)	(5) Grain Of Hope 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 5 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D 59 days ago. Yard fields a more appealing candidate in Captain Potter.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

DUKE OF OXFORD made a pleasing start when scoring at Chelmsford last month and the extra couple of furlongs might yield some improvement, with his dam being a Group 3 winner over this distance. Captain Potter finished second over 1m2f on his racecourse bow at Newcastle and he is capable of being in the mix along with Postergal, who is related to some useful stayers.

The one who appeals most is CAPTAIN POTTER, who couldn't match strides with an experienced stablemate at Newcastle last week but he in turn pulled nicely clear of the rest and improvement is on the cards. The Johnston yard is also represented by Grain of Hope but she will be of greater interest in handicaps in due course. Bigger threats are likely to be posed by Postergal, who shaped with encouragement at Lingfield recently, and Chelmsford debut winner Duke of Oxford.

Having caught the eye when clear second to a stablemate at Newcastle last week, CAPTAIN POTTER can go one better here.

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 8.5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/1 -50%) Wonder Legend	5 5/1(-50%)	(5) Wonder Legend 5/1, Improved a little on his debut form when second of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 5/2) 69 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to further improvement.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 -43%) Mr Buster	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(2) Mr Buster 2.5/1, Improved on debut form when third of 13 in 1m maiden at Kempton in October. Off since but appeals as the type to make a better 3-y-o.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.5/1 +55%) Tajawal	0.5 0.5/1(+55%)	(4) Tajawal 0.5/1, Fared best of the newcomers when second of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 11/4) on debut, just failing. Off 118 days. Open to improvement.
4	6 4th (6) (150/1 -355%) Grand Duchess Olga	150 150/1(-355%)	(6) Grand Duchess Olga 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, still green when eighth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark.
5th	1 5th (1) (200/1 +0%) Mane Man Boris	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Mane Man Boris 200/1, 200/1, last of 6 in minor event at Southwell (5f) on debut 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (250/1 -25%) Ray The Hay	250 250/1(-25%)	(3) Ray The Hay 250/1, Last of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 47 days ago. Up in trip.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Despite showing signs of inexperience, TAJAWAL shaped with a fair amount of promise on his first start when runner-up at Kempton in December. The penny seemed to be dropping in the closing stages on that occasion and the son of Frankel is fancied to go one better today. Wonder Legend was no match for an easy winner at Kempton in February, but he has shown more than enough to be competitive along with Mr Buster, who is bred to improve when stepping up in trip.

MR BUSTER, Wonder Legend and Tajawal all appeal as the types to be winning races before long. Preference however is for the first named, who finished ahead of 2 subsequent winners when third at Kempton at the end of October and should make a much better 3-y-o.

After learning on the job, TAJAWAL stuck to his task very well in the closing stages of his debut and lost out only by a neck.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3.5/1 +75%) Lafan	3.5 3.5/1(+75%)	(6) Lafan 3.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving John Butler when third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 45 days ago, not ideally placed. More needed.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 -50%) Give A Little Back	3 3/1(-50%)	(5) Give A Little Back 3/1, 9/4, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and likely to be in the thick of things once more.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Goldsmith	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(1) Goldsmith 4.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. 11/4, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Should go close if taking to this surface.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +9%) Carey Street	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Carey Street 5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 13/2) 15 days ago. By no means discounted.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +13%) Harbour Vision	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Harbour Vision 14/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 28 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 1 day ago.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Tickets	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(3) Tickets 3.5/1, Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (8f) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to get back on track.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -50%) Global Spectrum	33 33/1(-50%)	(4) Global Spectrum 33/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Happy Valley (10.9f, good, 9/1). Off 9 months ahead of this tapeta debut/first run for yard after leaving A. S. Cruz. Three-time winner with Gay Kelleway in early days but best watched here.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

GIVE A LITTLE BACK ran on well to score over C&D on his latest start when tackling this distance for the first time and the four-year-old may well have more to offer, despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Goldsmith was third at Lingfield when attempting to land the hat-trick last month and appears likely to pose the most obvious threat, while any market support for Global Spectrum should be noted.

GOLDSMITH has turned the corner since joining this yard, bagging back-to-back Lingfield handicaps during the winter and shaping better than the bare result back from a break when third there 13 days ago. He clearly remains in top form and should prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark, provided he proves as effective on this surface. Give A Little Back is also in good heart but Carey Street has dipped to an attractive mark and rates the main danger.

Connections have found the key to GIVE A LITTLE BACK (nap), who wears a hood now and won when upped to this trip last month.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 +0%) She's Centimental	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) She's Centimental 5.5/1, Goldencents filly who built on debut second last summer to land back-to-back 6f maiden/novice events (including over C&D) thereafter. Value for extra latest and she remains open to further improvement now handicapping.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.8/1 +12%) Cruise	0.8 0.8/1(+12%)	(4) Cruise 0.8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when very good second of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago, badly hampered entering final 1f and keeping on. Well worth considering with better to come.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 -14%) Raven's Up	25 25/1(-14%)	(2) Raven's Up 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. 66/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 28 days ago, the run easily excused given rider lost irons early. Mark does demand a little bit more.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +13%) Pierce	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Pierce 7/1, Speedily bred sort who ran best race on qualifying run when 2 lengths second in 12-runner Southwell maiden (5f) in October, no match for winner but running on. Gelded subsequently and feasible to think he can do better again now handicapping this term back up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -7%) Ignac Lamar	8 8/1(-7%)	(5) Ignac Lamar 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Chelmsford (6f) 10 days ago, keeping on. Should give another good account of himself.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -40%) Soaring Eagle	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Soaring Eagle 14/1, 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) 45 days ago. Winner has boosted that form since and return to 6f promises to suit back in handicap company.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 +44%) Miss Mai Tai	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Miss Mai Tai 9/1, 11/4, first run since leaving Robert Cowell when last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 17 days ago, outpaced early in the straight and plugging on. Entitled to have sharpened up for that and her mark is a workable one on balance.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Angelic Divas	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Angelic Divas 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 32 days ago, staying on final 1f. That was her first start for 7 months and another who may well be sharper here.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SHE'S CENTIMENTAL has put together quite the record since beginning her career and there is every reason to suggest that she can bring up the hat-trick. A mark of 77 on her handicap debut looks feasible and she may have too much for Pierce, who is likely to improve for the step up in trip. Cruise is another leading contender with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking.

CRUISE very much caught the eye on yard/handicap debut at Kempton, badly hampered entering final 1f and noted finishing with running left. She gets the nod to go one place better under Oisin Murphy, with the returning pair She's Centimental and Pierce heading up the dangers.

After looking unlucky not to win at Kempton ten days ago, CRUISE is taken to gain compensation off just a 1lb higher mark here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -14%) Level Up	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Level Up 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. Seventh of 8 in handicap (10/1) at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, unable to get on terms from wide draw/having had no cover. Better showing anticipated returned to the minimum trip from reduced mark. Market should guide.
2	4 2nd (4) (18/1 -50%) Red Walls	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Red Walls 18/1, 3-time C&D winner. 11/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, trapped deep and unable to get to the lead. Operating from last winning mark but he may find a few too good again here.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +25%) Freedom Flyer	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(3) Freedom Flyer 2.25/1, Shaped better than bare result on return and duly built on that when landing 16-runner Thirsk handicap (5f) 7 days ago, produced to lead over 1f out and winning readily. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and well worth a second look.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -10%) Gustav Graves	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Gustav Graves 11/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 9 days ago, keeping on final 1f but always held. Not out of things back on AW.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 +27%) Reigning Profit	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Reigning Profit 2/1, C&D winner in November. Seventh of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) in December, pushed along before halfway and weakening over 1f out. Returns from a short break with yard in good form and booking of Murphy catches the eye.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -25%) Therehegoes	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Therehegoes 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner minor event (6/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, making all and well on top finish. More on his plate returned to handicap company.
7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 +14%) Autumn Flight	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Autumn Flight 12/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 13/2, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago, doing plenty to secure the lead from a wide draw. Likely he will face plenty of competition for the lead here.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner at Thirsk last week, FREEDOM FLYER is turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty and he can strike at a track where he has run well in the past for his in-form connections. Therehegoes did it well over C&D last time out and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with Gustav Graves, who ran a cracker when second at Doncaster nine days ago.

FREEDOM FLYER shaped better than the bare result on return and duly built on that to end a long losing run at Thirsk 7 days ago, winning readily. He earns the vote to come out on top again under a penalty, with recent Doncaster runner up Gustav Graves and Level Up returned to the minimum trip others fancied to feature.

This can go to FREEDOM FLYER, who looked in excellent nick when dominating a big-field turf handicap a week ago .

2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Rockley Point	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Rockley Point 4.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 12/1) 7 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Enjoying a good spell on artificial surfaces previously and no surprise to see him bounce back.
3	1 3rd (1) (25/1 +0%) Clownsman	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Clownsman 25/1, Maiden who ran best race when third in 10-runner Kempton handicap (6f) in October 2021. Below that level final 2 starts last year and returns from 16 months off operating for new stable here. Betting could well prove a useful guide.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +29%) Reversion	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Reversion 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, fourth of 10 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago, merely closing up late on back of a missed break. Needs to keep the slow starts at bay if he's to figure here.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +0%) Amazing Amaya	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Amazing Amaya 12/1, Latest win over C&D in March. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 -33%) Reckon I'm Hot	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Reckon I'm Hot 6/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Had wind op/tongue tied, 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to May Remain in minor event at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 14 days ago, headway under pressure 2f out and plugging on. Record is a mixed one but he's entitled to be sharper for that now.
7th	5 7th (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(5) Tilsworth Ony Ta 6.5/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 11/2, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form and yard going well.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +20%) Coley's Koko	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) Coley's Koko 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but she did build on her yard debut effort when respectable second of 10 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, ridden entering straight and keeping on. Not out of things with a repeat.
9th	9 9th (9) (10/1 -11%) Mr Pc	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Mr Pc 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f, 12/1) 42 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others make greater appeal on balance.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 +10%) Our Man In Havana	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Our Man In Havana 18/1, C&D winner. 9/1, 9¾ lengths ninth of 10 to May Remain in minor event at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, racing in midfield and weakening over 1f out. Others arrive with more pressing claims.
11th	6 11th (6) (16/1 -60%) Big Time Maybe	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Big Time Maybe 16/1, C&D winner. 22/1, below form seventh of 14 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 46 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly for all his draw in 11 makes things tricky.

LTO Selection:

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

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

MAY REMAIN wasn't for catching when landing a classified stakes over further here last month and the drop in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to notch up an eighth career success. Coley's Koko has done well since joining her new connections and she is entitled to go close, along with C&D winner Amazing Amaya. Others to note include Big Time Maybe, Reckon I'm Hot and Tilsworth Ony Ta.

TILSWORTH ONY TA wasn't at his best at Southwell last month but comes here operating from his last winning mark with his yard in fine form, so could just be worth chancing to bounce back. Coley's Koko, May Remain and Rockley Point head up the dangers in a tricky finale.

Rockley Point should go well but the suggestion is RECKON I'M HOT, who returned from a break with an encouraging run last month.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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