(5) Irv 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 98 days. Back down in trip. Didn't see out a testing 1m4f latest and has gone well fresh but others are stronger.

2nd (3) (11/2 -65%) Damoiseau
5.5
11/2(-65%)
(3) Damoiseau 11/2, Unreliable individual. 15/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Can make presence felt. Run well twice over C&D this month (didn't see out 1m3f in between times); leading claims.

3rd (4) (9/1 -29%) Inexplicable
9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Inexplicable 9/1, 8-time course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Found run of good form coming to a halt when last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 13/2) 23 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Type to bounce back. Rarely goes this far; can pull hard and a below-par effort last time will need forgiving.

4th (7) (13/2 +35%) Capallcliste
6.5
13/2(+35%)
(7) Capallcliste 13/2, Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at this course (8.6f) 13 days ago. Ran well for Taryn Langley here in February; will need to settle better than last time.
5th

5th (1) (11/8 +45%) Trojan Truth
1.375
11/8(+45%)
(1) Trojan Truth 11/8, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 9/5, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Squeezed out early and forced round the houses latest (Damoiseau second); shortlisted.
6th

6th (9) (40/1 +20%) Beau Geste
40
40/1(+20%)
(9) Beau Geste 40/1, C&D winner. 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 3 days ago. Dual C&D winner in his younger days but has been poor since returning from ten months off.
7th
8
7th (8) (66/1 -32%) Child Of Lir
66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Child Of Lir 66/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Poor start for his new yard when behind two of these here latest; is hard to recommend.
8th
2
8th (2) (3/1 -50%) Laser Focus
3
3/1(-50%)
(2) Laser Focus 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 150/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Ex-Irish maiden who's done most racing over hurdles; well worth considering.
17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Several of these have crossed swords before and there is little to choose between the likes of Inexplicable, Capallcliste and Fanzone based on recent encounters. However, it might pay to focus on TROJAN TRUTH (third), who impressed with a C&D success on his penultimate start. The selection didn't enjoy the cleanest of runs after a slow start when attempting to follow up here three weeks ago, but can reverse the form with Damoiseau (second) with a better start and smoother run.
TROJAN TRUTH has started off the new campaign well and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Inexplicable and Damoiseau are feared most.
Laser Focus needs considering. Otherwise TROJAN TRUTH is taken to turn things round with Damoiseau from three weeks ago.
(4) Fouroneohfever 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/8, fifth of 13 in minor event at Kempton (8f). Off 132 days. Significantly up in trip and merits respect on handicap debut. Ran to a similar level in three maidens/novices (7f-1m) last backend; market will guide.
2
3
2nd (3) (5/2 +9%) Hampden
2.5
5/2(+9%)
(3) Hampden 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 13 in maiden (3/1) at this course (9.5f) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he's open to improvement. Stamina on his dam's side and tonight's stiffer test may suit now he's had a run back.
3
2
3rd (2) (13/8 -17%) Educate
1.625
13/8(-17%)
(2) Educate 13/8, Twice-raced winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 8 in minor event at Kempton (10f, 4/1) 22 days ago. Up in trip and likely to progress now handicapping. Stamina on both sides of his pedigree and the further step up in trip should suit; player.
4
5
4th (5) (33/1 -136%) Trojan Storm
33
33/1(-136%)
(5) Trojan Storm 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (12f, 6/1) 48 days ago, inadequate test. Makes handicap debut. Gelded. Gone the wrong way and he's been gelded since his handicap debut; has a bit to prove now.
5th
1
5th (1) (9/2 -29%) Peace Walk
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(1) Peace Walk 9/2, Thrice-raced winner. Second of 6 in minor event (6/5) at Ayr (8f, heavy), just failing. Off 6 months and significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. Open to improvement. Progressive last backend; remains lightly raced and could well be up to the job.
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Handicap debutants Peace Walk and EDUCATE jointly set a decent standard here. The former, a winner over the extended 7f at Beverley on his penultimate start, commands respect but the selection won over 1m at Southwell on his racecourse bow and currently appears more suited to this stiffer test of stamina. Second to an improver on his seasonal bow at Kempton 22 days ago, the Sea The Stars colt also has match-fitness on his side. Trojan Storm rates best of the rest.
An interesting handicap in which strong cases can be made for four of the five entries. EDUCATE couldn't live with Palace Green at Kempton but that was still a good effort and he looks the way to go here with this stiffer test likely to help unlock improvement on this handicap debut. Hampden didn't do a great deal wrong on his reappearance here 3 weeks ago and he is feared most ahead of Peace Walk and Fouroneohfever.
There's speed in PEACE WALK's pedigree but he looked more about stamina himself last autumn and is preferred to Educate.
(3) Beveragino 11/10, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Evens, creditable second of 6 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Leading claims. Won't mind going back up from 6f in first-time headgear; remains vulnerable to improvers.
2
6
2nd (6) (7/1 -250%) Smouldering
7
7/1(-250%)
(6) Smouldering 7/1, Profitable filly. Half-sister to several winners, notably very smart 7f-1¼m winner Salute The Soldier. Interesting newcomer. From a good family and is a likely looking newcomer in an ordinary-looking maiden.
3
4
3rd (4) (14/1 -27%) Kinematica
14
14/1(-27%)
(4) Kinematica 14/1, Kendargent filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 8.3f winner Kinaesthesia and 1½m winner Tidal Storm. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Bred to want middle-distances and possibly beyond this season; watch the market.
4
2
4th (2) (11/8 +21%) Rainwater
1.375
11/8(+21%)
(2) Rainwater 11/8, 42,000 gns Mayson colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 6f Ventura Rebel for yard, and 5f-7f winner Suitcase 'N' Taxi. 4/5, second of 5 in maiden at Haydock (6f, heavy) on debut, slowly away. Off 8 months/gelded. Likely to improve and much respected. Odds-on for his debut last summer; has been found the right race, having been gelded.
5th
5
5th (5) (50/1 -25%) Questionable
50
50/1(-25%)
(5) Questionable 50/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 18 days ago. 33-1 for her Lingfield debut; may not be until she's handicapping that she makes her mark.
6th
1
6th (1) (300/1 -100%) One Colour
300
300/1(-100%)
(1) One Colour 300/1, Twice-raced mare on Flat. Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. 250/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at this course (9.5f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Well held in two runs over 9.5f here this spring; is likely to want much further.
18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RAINWATER was a well-backed favourite on his debut at Haydock last August and, while he paid the price for a slow start that day, he did show promise as that race unfolded. Ultimately second to a filly who was pitched at a Group 3 on her next start, that run sets a good standard. Beveragino is respected back at this trip with first-time cheekpieces added, but nicely-bred newcomer Smouldering makes more appeal for the silver medal.
RAINWATER was well backed before making a most promising debut at Haydock 8 months ago, and is taken to improve past the more exposed Beveragino. Smouldering is the more interesting newcomer.
Smouldering is an interesting newcomer but the market spoke well of RAINWATER ahead of one run last summer and he gets the nod.
18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(8) Aces High 9/2, Well held in minor events/maiden at 2 yrs. Off 6 months. Hard to believe he won't do better at some stage. Stable form could be better and would want to see good support before considering him.
1
1
1st (1) (13/2 +59%) Interestnpenalties
6.5
13/2(+59%)
(1) Interestnpenalties 13/2, Fair maiden. 33/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Regressive, ex-Irish maiden who again finished well held latest; is completely exposed now.
2
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +60%) Amroon
2
2/1(+60%)
(2) Amroon 2/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in November. Off 103 days. Tongue strap back on. Well beaten in 2 runs on turf early last year. Has been gelded; one of the more interesting runners going beyond 6f for the first time.
3
6
3rd (6) (9/4 -13%) Tenyatta
2.25
9/4(-13%)
(6) Tenyatta 9/4, First run since leaving Jamie Osborne, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) under this rider 10 days ago. Standard bearer. Better over C&D this spring and holds decent claims again, upped 3lb, despite stall 10.
4
7
4th (7) (10/1 -100%) Tantomile
10
10/1(-100%)
(7) Tantomile 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 5 at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) 53 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Got a bit about her physically so should do better in handicaps now. Starts handicap life off a basement mark and is worth tracking in the market.
5th
5
5th (5) (25/1 -213%) Call Me The Breeze
25
25/1(-213%)
(5) Call Me The Breeze 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Improvement needed. Better was expected on her handicap debut when last seen but again finished well beaten.
6th
10
6th (10) (14/1 +30%) Dash Power
14
14/1(+30%)
(10) Dash Power 14/1, Bit below form 7½ lengths fifth of 10 to Tenyatta in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 10 days ago. Hard to fancy. Clipped heels when behind Tenyatta over C&D latest but again started a big price that day.
7th
9
7th (9) (9/1 -50%) Supreme Tenacity
9
9/1(-50%)
(9) Supreme Tenacity 9/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at this course (8.6f) 21 days ago. Yet to win and he's vulnerable here. Exposed maiden who's done most racing over further since entering handicaps.
8th
3
8th (3) (20/1 -100%) Warrior Tune
20
20/1(-100%)
(3) Warrior Tune 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 (200/1) at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could be set for a bigger performance. Huge prices and offered little in three runs (6f-1m); the market will be the best guide.
9th
4
9th (4) (25/1 -56%) Lord Danielson
25
25/1(-56%)
(4) Lord Danielson 25/1, Poor maiden. 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Plenty of chances at this sort of level; switch from a hood to cheekpieces needs to help.
19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A winner over this course and distance on her debut for the James Own yard 10 days ago, TENYATTA is not overburdened off just a 3lb higher mark and she rates a solid option in her bid to follow up. Amroon hinted at a revival last time out and, dropped 1lb, he can also get competitive on his return to this venue. Handicap newcomer Tantomile is another must for consideration.
TENYATTA didn't take long to score for new trainer James Owen and can notch up a second C&D success. Tantomile, Aces High and Warrior Tune are interesting handicap debutants in opposition.
Tenyatta isn't without risk from the outside stall and preference is for AMROON, who's been gelded and goes up in distance.
(1) Evaluation 4/1, First run since leaving Charlie Johnston when ninth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 59 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Continues to edge down the weights and is not one to write off just yet. Looks to retain most of his ability; claims but is 2lb above his highest successful mark.
2
5
2nd (5) (9/4 -105%) Miss Cynthia
2.25
9/4(-105%)
(5) Miss Cynthia 9/4, 11/8, good second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) when last seen in August. Provided she's raring to go following a break, she will prove a tough nut to crack. Nothing wrong with final second off 2lb lower; capable if ready after eight months off.
3
6
3rd (6) (5/1 +29%) Star Legend
5
5/1(+29%)
(6) Star Legend 5/1, 11/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test. Will get that here and he should make his presence felt. Two decent efforts at Chelmsford this spring; the return to cheekpieces has clearly helped.
4
3
4th (3) (11/1 +31%) Sea Grey
11
11/1(+31%)
(3) Sea Grey 11/1, Ninth of 13 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Poor effort on latest start in this sphere he would have a chance off this reduced mark if he were to put his best foot forward. Tapeta debut off the back of poor effort over hurdles; is some way down the pecking order.
5th
4
5th (4) (5/1 +17%) The Craftymaster
5
5/1(+17%)
(4) The Craftymaster 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 4/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 13 days ago. Something to find on form now. Has won seven in the past four months; will need another career-best off this mark.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/2 +25%) Seal Of Solomon
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(2) Seal Of Solomon 9/2, C&D winner. Six wins from 19 Flat runs. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and it's likely that he'll find one or two too good. Decent strike-rate in handicaps; is a straightforward sort who's won over C&D; fair claims.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MISS CYNTHIA improved as the stamina tests increased on turf last season and is a different proposition to the last time she raced on a synthetic surface. Although this is a step up in class for the daughter of Sea The Moon, there is good reason to expect Sir Mark Prescott has left plenty to work with and another big run looks assured. The Craftymaster is feared despite being held off this mark at Kempton 13 days ago. Unexposed on the all-weather, Sea Grey is noted too.
A deserved first taste of success could be on the cards for MISS CYNTHIA, who made the frame all five starts switched to handicaps last season and may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Evaluation has slipped to a dangerous mark and is feared most, though Star Legend is also accorded respect.
Proven winner SEAL OF SOLOMON is entitled to have come on for his recent return from ten months off. Evaluation is second choice.
(4) Covert Legend 10/3, Sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.5f) 57 days ago, very slowly away. Down the weights and has undergone breathing operation since latest outing. Has the ability to win off this mark but can start slowly/pull; comes with risks attached.
2
8
2nd (8) (5/1 -11%) Plumette
5
5/1(-11%)
(8) Plumette 5/1, 5-time course winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 35 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Steph Hollinshead. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly. Five-time course winner who's been on the downgrade in recent times; each-way claims.
3
2
3rd (2) (11/4 +8%) Coolree
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(2) Coolree 11/4, 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 19 days ago. Shaped better than the result last time and this is less competitive, so he's worth taking a chance on. Last two runs (after a wind op) here have been more like it; holds leading claims down 1lb.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 +20%) Khathak
4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Khathak 4/1, Temperamental sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 44 days ago. Had been running with credit prior to excusable latest effort, so not one to rule out. Eased latest; this trip on Tapeta is fine and ought to fare better off a career-low mark.
5th
10
5th (10) (40/1 +0%) Tacitus
40
40/1(+0%)
(10) Tacitus 40/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 33 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Lost his way; Covert Legend is perhaps his yard's most interesting contender.
6th
11
6th (11) (11/1 -120%) Darker
11
11/1(-120%)
(11) Darker 11/1, 14/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Worth considering despite long-standing maiden tag. Longstanding maiden who can miss the break and hang left; is inconsistent too.
7th
7
7th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mykonos St John
12
12/1(+40%)
(7) Mykonos St John 12/1, C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 18/1). Off 95 days. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Out of form when last seen and it's been a long time since he ran without cheekpieces.
8th
5
8th (5) (18/1 +28%) Lady Lavina
18
18/1(+28%)
(5) Lady Lavina 18/1, 40/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 38 days ago. Plenty to prove. Has struggled since returning from eight months off, coming 15lb down the weights.
9th
6
9th (6) (33/1 -230%) Avarice
33
33/1(-230%)
(6) Avarice 33/1, Course winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 22 months. Hard to know how much ability he retains. Returns from a very lengthy absence; hasn't run over this sort of trip since his 3yo days.
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
COOLREE relished the application of blinkers for the first time here over slightly further earlier in the month, before not quite seeing it out inside the final furlong. If the headgear works again, he makes plenty of appeal with the handicapper also dropping him 1lb. Covert Legend could bounce back following wind surgery and might well be on a dangerous handicap mark, while Khathak and Darker appeal most of the remainder.
COOLREE shaped well up with a strong pace last time and, from stall 1, he's worth chancing in a race where the majority have questions to answer. Darker is one of few that has run with credit last time, so he's a danger, while Covert Legend is worth noting on the back of wind surgery and a short break.
It's easy enough to pick holes in most and this may well be best left to COOLREE (nap). Covert Legend has the ability but is risky.
(7) Mumcat 7/2, Course winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Holding form well of late. Remains well treated and is well up to winning if she settles and gets the breaks.
2
8
2nd (8) (22/1 -83%) Midnight Flame
22
22/1(-83%)
(8) Midnight Flame 22/1, Good second of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7.2f). Off 141 days. Might need this. Found her level round here off this sort of mark last backend; each-way shout on comeback.
3
6
3rd (6) (3/1 +70%) Porfin
3
3/1(+70%)
(6) Porfin 3/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 10 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Front-runner who's struggled since returning to the AW; no better back on turf last time.
4
5
4th (5) (22/1 -120%) Notre Maison
22
22/1(-120%)
(5) Notre Maison 22/1, 7/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Brighton (6f, heavy), unsuited by step up in trip. Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on. Worth a market check. Nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh and 6f on Tapeta doesn't look optimal.
5th
11
5th (11) (10/1 -67%) Coast
10
10/1(-67%)
(11) Coast 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt again. Two wins and a good few near-misses to her name over C&D; is handily drawn again.
6th
10
6th (10) (14/1 +0%) Another Angel
14
14/1(+0%)
(10) Another Angel 14/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 36 days ago, running on. Back up in trip. Not dismissed. Remains consistent despite his years and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end.
7th
3
7th (3) (8/1 -45%) Sisters In The Sky
8
8/1(-45%)
(3) Sisters In The Sky 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 11/4, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Beaten-favourite behind two of these over C&D latest; should go well again though.
8th
9
8th (9) (40/1 -233%) Hard Solution
40
40/1(-233%)
(9) Hard Solution 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 13 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Found this mark beyond him when behind three of tonight's rivals over C&D latest.
9th
2
9th (2) (7/1 -100%) Arlecchino's Gift
7
7/1(-100%)
(2) Arlecchino's Gift 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 7/2, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, just failing. Expected to be bang there. Unlucky loser over C&D a fortnight ago; has a 2lb rise and wide stall to overcome tonight.
10th
4
10th (4) (66/1 -164%) West End Lass
66
66/1(-164%)
(4) West End Lass 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at this C&D 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Hasn't shown enough to be considered, not unless the market speaks firmly her way.
11th
13
11th (13) (12/1 +52%) Billian
12
12/1(+52%)
(13) Billian 12/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 31 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Something to find on form. Below market expectations here last time; perhaps the switch of headgear will do the trick.
12th
12
12th (12) (14/1 -40%) Hard Nut
14
14/1(-40%)
(12) Hard Nut 14/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2019. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (13/2) at this course (5.1f) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Drawn near some good pace; is capable if he gets away better and things fall his way.

16/1(-100%)
(1) Seas Of Elzaam 16/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 12/1) 48 days ago. Stays further and can pull hard which is a concern from stall 13 but still has the ability.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ARLECCHINO'S GIFT nearly made it a third career victory over C&D last time and would likely have done so barring a slow start. The five-year-old's record here since the beginning of the year has been extremely consistent and he is taken to confirm the form with Coast (third) and Sisters In The Sky (fourth). The aforementioned pair are both respected once again, while others to consider include Midnight Flame and Mumcat.
ARLECCHINO'S GIFT scored here in March and got right back on track when an unfortunate second over C&D last time, likely to have scored with a clear run, so he's worth chancing to gain compensation. Coast regularly goes well at this track and should be thereabouts once more, while Mumcat is likely to give her running again.
This might be set up for MUMCAT, who hasn't had the breaks lately. Coast is another who can run well.
(5) Q Twenty Boy 25/1, C&D winner in January. 11/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Three of his five wins have come here; capable of playing a part if getting a good pace.

2nd (9) (11/2 -57%) Higher Law
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(9) Higher Law 11/2, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Creditable length fourth of 10 to Gidwa in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 13 days ago, finishing well. Expected to be bang there. Caught the eye of the stewards here last time, but 0-23 so may not fare any better.
3
11
3rd (11) (40/1 -100%) Rebel Redemption
40
40/1(-100%)
(11) Rebel Redemption 40/1, C&D winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 20/1) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on. Likely to find a few too good. Usually seen over further these days and losing run is now up to 23; others preferred.
4
13
4th (13) (33/1 -32%) Kangaroo
33
33/1(-32%)
(13) Kangaroo 33/1, 17/2, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f). Off 103 days and others make more appeal. 0-13 and needs a turnaround after three months off.
5th

5th (8) (5/2 +29%) Gidwa
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(8) Gidwa 5/2, 11/8, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 13 days ago by nose from Bernard Spierpoint. 2 lb nudge fair enough but more will be needed if he's to go in again. Just got the better of Bernard Spierpoint here last time, but not sure to confirm the form.
6th

6th (4) (25/1 -108%) Kitbag
25
25/1(-108%)
(4) Kitbag 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. First run since leaving Jack Channon when last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and would have a chance if on-song. 3lb lower than when successful over C&D in December; worth a second look.
7th

7th (6) (15/2 +46%) Mine That Ship
7.5
15/2(+46%)
(6) Mine That Ship 15/2, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 16/1) 23 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and needs to raise her game. 0-11, but 7f has looked too far the last twice and she should appreciate the return to 6f.
8th
3
8th (3) (16/1 -191%) Tathmeen
16
16/1(-191%)
(3) Tathmeen 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 24 runs last year. 5/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago, suited by strong pace. Up 5 lb and he's not an obvious candidate to follow up. Four wins here and ended a long losing run last time; could figure if they go quick enough.
9th
10
9th (10) (13/2 +74%) Yaahobby
6.5
13/2(+74%)
(10) Yaahobby 13/2, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft, 66/1) 3 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 6lb below last winning mark, but not sure he is running well enough to take advantage.
10th
12
10th (12) (15/2 -7%) Mikka
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(12) Mikka 15/2, Good length third of 10 to Gidwa in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 13 days ago. Can go well again. 0-10; not far behind Gidwa & Bernard Spierpoint over C&D 13 days ago, but needs a bit more.
11th
2
11th (2) (10/1 -33%) Captain Wentworth
10
10/1(-33%)
(2) Captain Wentworth 10/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 9/2 and visored for 1st time, bit below form third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 47 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Fair efforts lately, but now 0-17; outside stall doesn't do him many favours; blinkers on.
12th
7
12th (7) (15/2 -36%) Bernard Spierpoint
7.5
15/2(-36%)
(7) Bernard Spierpoint 15/2, Course winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. 16/1, nose second of 10 to Gidwa in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, having run of race. Should be on the premises once more. Just beaten by Gidwa on his return from five months off over C&D last time; a player.
21:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
GIDWA built on his second here over 7f last month when benefitting from a drop back in trip to score over C&D last time, when just denying Bernard Spierpoint in the final strides. A 2lb rise for that success is unlikely to stop him from going well again, while his old rival is likely to be a threat on the front end. Captain Wentworth has been knocking on the door in recent starts and first-time blinkers might aid his cause.
HIGHER LAW (fourth) and Mikka (third) were both hot on the heels of Gidwa and Bernard Spierpoint after encountering traffic problems over C&D 13 days ago, and they can reverse placings with those rivals this time. Marginal preference is for Higher Law, who is 0-23 but he was a real eye-catcher in the aforementioned race and looks ready to strike. Tathmeen did the job well at Newcastle but he was seen to maximum effect that day and looks vulnerable up 5 lb.
The vote goes to MINE THAT SHIP, who is 2lb lower than when narrowly beaten the last time she raced over this trip.
