14:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +17%) Unlimited Data	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(6) Unlimited Data 2.75/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (7/2) at this C&D when last seen, just holding on. Off 165 days. Could do even better. Off the mark in a C&D nursery last December; a contender if ready to go after 165 days off.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Victors Dream	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Victors Dream 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Can improve and a contender. Well held in three starts last month, but bred to be better than that; tricky draw, though.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -47%) Global Effort	11 11/1(-47%)	(2) Global Effort 11/1, 13/2, first run since leaving Anthony Carson when last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 10 days ago. Work to do. 0-7 and well beaten on stable debut last time; needs return to AW to make a big difference.
4	8 4th (8) (22/1 -57%) Northern Chancer	22 22/1(-57%)	(8) Northern Chancer 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 38 days ago, well positioned. This is tougher. 0-8 and didn't achieve much when fourth here last time; well down the list.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.88/1 -7%) Cuban Grey	1.88 1.88/1(-7%)	(4) Cuban Grey 1.88/1, C&D winner. 10/3, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 20 days ago. Good shout back here. Had 12 starts already, but plenty of good efforts against his name including a C&D win.
6th	7 6th (7) (7.5/1 +25%) Silverlode	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(7) Silverlode 7.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft, 22/1) 22 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. 0-9 and may appreciate return to the AW, but sharp 5f may not be ideal.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 +13%) Lupset Flossy Pop	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Lupset Flossy Pop 14/1, 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Newcastle nursery win last autumn, but quiet since returning and drop to 5f not ideal.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Victors Dream has weakened late on over further on two of his three starts and he could be of interest over this trip on his handicap debut off a mark of 60, with the eye-catching booking of Neil Callan to ride. However, with a lack of obvious pace in the race, UNLIMITED DATA may be able to slip the field from stall one. A C&D winner in December, an added 3lb may not stop him repeating the feat here. Agostino could surprise a few on his second start after being gelded.

Tricky stuff, with CUBAN GREY fancied to resume winning ways after another good run at Brighton. Unlimited Data scored in a nursery when last seen and can be competitive again. Victors Dream is a potential improver now handicapping for Marco Botti.

This can go to CUBAN GREY who has been running well on turf and the AW lately. Fellow C&D winner Unlimited Data is the main danger.

14:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (10/1 -33%) You're Cool	10 10/1(-33%)	(7) You're Cool 10/1, 8-time C&D winner. 11/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 73 days ago. Can't be discounted around here. Nine course wins and still capable at this level, but may just need this after 73 days off.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +53%) Street Life	4 4/1(+53%)	(3) Street Life 4/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 20/1) 24 days ago. C&D winner who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; one for the shortlist.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -14%) Apache Star	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Apache Star 4/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago, finishing with running left. Poor strike rate but his only win came here and that last run was promising. No luck at Southwell last time, but isn't the easiest and looks better over 6f.
4	1 4th (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Caribbean Sunset	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(1) Caribbean Sunset 3.5/1, 13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Evidently hard to train but shaped as if retaining ability after 14 months off and has wins in him if standing up to more racing. Lightly raced since his successful debut in November 2020; something to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +20%) Red Walls	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Red Walls 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (5f) 12 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Three-time C&D winner who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; visor on.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -106%) Next Second	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Next Second 33/1, C&D winner. 10/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Both wins from the front over C&D last summer, but hasn't come close to that form since.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 -67%) Forca Brasil	5 5/1(-67%)	(2) Forca Brasil 5/1, Won on debut for this yard (good 5f event at the 2021 Craven Meeting). Little to write home about since (trained in Ireland last year), hooded for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Abbreviated career since his successful 2yo debut in April 2021 and has enough to prove.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 -150%) Animist	40 40/1(-150%)	(4) Animist 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, first run since leaving John Gallagher when last of 3 in minor event at this C&D 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Hard to know what he achieved when last of three after a long absence here last month.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Animist has to be of interest despite finishing last of three on his first start since October 2021, but he will need to improve if he wants to get to the front where it matters most. RED WALLS was beaten less than two lengths off 2lb higher at Chelmsford on his last start when possibly sent to the front too soon, but a first-time visor could help his focus and that might see him win for the sixth time. Apache Star and You're Cool are others to consider.

APACHE STAR shaped well at Southwell and looks the way to go. You're Cool can never be discounted around here, while Caribbean Sunset has wins in him if standing up to more racing.

This can go to the newly visored RED WALLS who has gained three of his five wins over C&D and is 2lb below his last winning mark.

15:10 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.25/1 +38%) Owl Island	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(3) Owl Island 1.25/1, Promising sort. 10/3, won 7-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 12 days ago by length from Profit Given, bit in hand. More to come. Beat Profit Given by a length on his Chelmsford debut; should improve.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Eden Storm	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Eden Storm 3.5/1, Won 9-runner minor event (9/4) at this C&D 28 days ago. That form isn't great but he can progress again provided he becomes more polished. Off the mark over C&D last month despite hanging; high on the list.
3	11 3rd (11) (25/1 +38%) Sail On Silverbird	25 25/1(+38%)	(11) Sail On Silverbird 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 12/1) 38 days ago. Promising third on her debut at Kempton last autumn, but well held here on her return.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -38%) Profit Given	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Profit Given 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, length second of 7 to Owl Island in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago, clear of rest. One to note. A length behind Owl Island last time and better off at the weights; shouldn't be far away.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -180%) Aim For The Moon	28 28/1(-180%)	(4) Aim For The Moon 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago, finishing well. Can win races on that evidence. Beaten a head at Kempton on her second start and should win races, but is drawn wide.
6th	12 6th (12) (40/1 -122%) Tangled In Time	40 40/1(-122%)	(12) Tangled In Time 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) on debut, slowly away. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Should progress. Not without promise in one start for Richard Hannon last year; watch market.
7th	9 7th (9) (10/1 -18%) Story Of Peace	10 10/1(-18%)	(9) Story Of Peace 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, second of 8 in maiden at Leicester (7f, heavy) 10 days ago, looking much sharper. Could progress further. Improved from his debut when a close second at Leicester last time, but drawn widest.
8th	10 8th (10) (10/1 +38%) Moralisa	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Moralisa 10/1, Promising sort. 8/1, second of 11 in novice event at Newcastle (6f) on debut in September. Open to improvement with that experience behind her. Runner-up on her Newcastle debut last autumn, but form is nothing special.
9th	7 9th (7) (5.5/1 +8%) Island Luck	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) Island Luck 5.5/1, £105,000 yearling out of useful 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs) out of close relative of King Edward VII Stakes winner Across The Stars and half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Bronze Cannon. Appealing pedigree and one to consider on debut. Well-bred newcomer, but could have been drawn better; watch market.
10th	6 10th (6) (150/1 -50%) All Inclusive	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) All Inclusive 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 25 days ago. Well held in both starts 187 days apart; looks one for handicaps after this.
11th	8 11th (8) (150/1 -127%) Queensland Boy	150 150/1(-127%)	(8) Queensland Boy 150/1, 16/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. Well held on his Pontefract debut; looks one for handicaps in due course.
12th	1 12th (1) (100/1 +0%) Gautrey	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Gautrey 100/1, Fifth of 6 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 80/1) on debut 24 days ago. Will make more appeal in handicaps. Well held on his debut over further here; looks one for handicaps.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Owl Island made a winning debut at Chelmsford 12 days ago, when receiving 7lb from Profit Given (second). An 8lb swing in the weights could see Ismail Mohammed's filly close the gap today, but EDEN STORM is taken to come out on top. The son of Starspangledbanner was a comfortable winner over C&D last month, despite showing clear signs of inexperience, and he could double up with improvement likely. Island Luck represents the powerful Qatar Racing juggernaut and is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his debut.

There is more to come from Chelmsford winner OWL ISLAND and he can make it 2-2. Story of Peace could make it a 1-2 for the stable. Island Luck is an interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to EDEN STORM who would have won by further over C&D last month had he not hung both ways up the straight.

15:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3.5/1 -5%) Written Broadcast	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(6) Written Broadcast 3.5/1, C&D winner in March. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed in a steadily-run affair. He's holding his form pretty well, so expected to be in the shake-up. Just 3-42 but two of his wins have come on Tapeta this year, the latest over C&D.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +56%) Crystal Dawn	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(5) Crystal Dawn 3.5/1, C&D winner. 80/1, ran a moody race after 9 weeks off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, slowly away/hanging badly right under 2f out. Plenty to find. Back off the same mark as when successful over C&D last autumn; could go well.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 -64%) Mudlahhim	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Mudlahhim 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Ran well after just 4 days off when third of 8 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Every chance if building on that effort. Losing run up to 21, but has run well in his last two visits here; should go well again.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 +30%) Pop Favorite	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Pop Favorite 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, again raced way too freely when third of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 8 days ago, caught final 1f having gone clear before home turn. Could be in the mix back down in trip. Ran well when third over further here last time, but this trip looks too short for him.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 -43%) No Diggity	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) No Diggity 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in February. Below form on rare turf start when sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, heavy, 16/1) 38 days ago. Won a classified event at Kempton in February, but may find this company too competitive.
6th	7 6th (7) (2.75/1 +31%) Flagman	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(7) Flagman 2.75/1, Winner at Kempton in May. Run best excused when ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 7 days ago, racing on unfavoured far side. Makes tapeta debut and worth considering with the booking of Murphy catching the eye. Off the mark at Kempton last month, but held next time; may be best at 6f.
7th	1 7th (1) (66/1 -65%) Global Romance	66 66/1(-65%)	(1) Global Romance 66/1, 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, offered little on first outing since leaving Chris Dwyer after 8 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 0-6 and showed little on recent stable debut over C&D; best watched for now.
8th	4 8th (4) (2.75/1 -22%) Seas Of Elzaam	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(4) Seas Of Elzaam 2.75/1, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 15/2) just under 8 weeks ago. Hood on 1st time and not taken lightly back down to his last winning mark. First and second in his last two visits here so worthy of consideration; hood on.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

FLAGMAN sprang a surprise when winning at odds of 28/1 at Kempton earlier this month, but the former Goldolphin-owned son of Kingman failed to back up at Chepstow 13 days later. However, he did beat a subsequent winner two starts ago and, now back on an artificial surface, he could return to form. Mudlahhim finished a good third over C&D last time and he merits respect from an unchanged mark, while Written Broadcast heads the remainder.

WRITTEN BROADCAST has held his form pretty well since scoring over C&D in March, so Ollie Pears' grey is fancied to notch a third success of the year at the expense of Pop Favorite, who is a free-going sort but should appreciate this drop back to 7f. Seas of Elzaam and Flagman are another couple who could well be in the shake-up, too.

This can go to previous C&D winner MUDLAHHIM who has run well in his last two visits here, as when third over this trip 11 days ago.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (16/1 +0%) Flame Spirit	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Flame Spirit 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Not at best in first-time blinkers (discarded) when fifth of 8 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Up in trip for handicap debut and dam's side of pedigree suggests he may improve for it.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Quantum Light	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Quantum Light 10/1, Fair form when reaching the frame on all four outings as a juvenile (6f/7f). Up in trip for reappearance. Unexposed sort from a good stable. The betting should guide. Didn't build on early promise last year; returns from seven months off; watch market.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -20%) Hat Toss	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Hat Toss 4/1, Positive start for new yard when narrowly denied in 1m Haydock handicap (good to firm) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Raised 6 lb but still looks on a workable mark. Engaged 2.55 Redcar Monday. Improved plenty when just beaten on stable debut at Haydock last month; respected.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -78%) Kodiman	16 16/1(-78%)	(8) Kodiman 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1 and hooded first time, seventh of 11 in novice at Southwell (7f) 49 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not gone on from promising debut at Southwell; needs to resume progress on handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Forest Demon	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(3) Forest Demon 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (1m, heavy) on reappearance 36 days ago. Could strip fitter for the run. Makes tapeta debut. Well beaten in four runs on turf, but 1-1 on AW; interesting back on an artificial surface.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -64%) Dhariye	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Dhariye 9/1, Improved on his 2 efforts at the start of last summer when winning 13-runner maiden at Southwell (1m) in January. Likely capable of better again now handicapping after another break. Off four months since his Southwell win, but proven fresh and open to further improvement.
7th	7 7th (7) (2.75/1 +17%) Born Ruler	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(7) Born Ruler 2.75/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 9-runner novice at this course (7f) in January. Longer trip will suit now handicapping after a break. Should be more to come and big player from a handy draw. Won over 7f here in January; return to longer trip in his favour on handicap debut.
8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 +50%) No Barrier	6 6/1(+50%)	(9) No Barrier 6/1, Fair form. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, soft) 23 days ago but might fare better back on AW and the booking of William Buick, who rode a winner for the stable at York last week, takes the eye. Has shaped as though this slightly stiffer test may suit; not dismissed back on the AW.
9th	6 9th (6) (16/1 +20%) Star Child	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Star Child 16/1, Winner on handicap debut Chelmsford (1m) in January. Might be worth forgiving her run on very testing ground at Nottingham since. Well beaten on turf last time, but progressive on the AW during the winter.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Dhariye made it third-time lucky when winning at Southwell in January and an opening mark of 76 doesn't look beyond him on today's handicap debut. It would be no surprise were the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Born Ruler to thrive in handicaps this year and the son of Kingman is another who merits respect here, but the value may lay with QUANTUM LIGHT. Ralph Beckett's filly failed to kick on having shaped with significant promise on her debut last July, but a step up in trip might prove the key to her and she may provide her in-form yard with yet more success.

BORN RULER appeals as one who should have more to offer now handicapping over further and can add to his 7f course novice success at the start of the year. Dhariye is another last-time-out winner who should go on to better things in handicaps and is feared most ahead of the William Buick-ridden No Barrier. Hat Toss would also need serious consideration if showing up here instead of Redcar.

Born Ruler and DHARIYE have similar profiles. Slight preference is for the latter who ground it out well when winning at Southwell.

1	2 1st (2) (1.38/1 +61%) H Key Lails	1.38 1.38/1(+61%)	(2) H Key Lails 1.38/1, C&D winner in March who got back on track when second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Return to this longer trip will suit and is one for the shortlist. C&D winner who has finished runner-up in two of his three starts since; much respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 +25%) Musterion	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Musterion 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 66/1) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Others preferred. Well beaten in first five starts; only of interest if backed.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +0%) Moondial	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Moondial 6/1, 9/2, good fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Won a Kempton nursery last autumn and has run well in both starts since returning.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 -155%) Dame Laura Knight	7 7/1(-155%)	(8) Dame Laura Knight 7/1, Promising individual who found improvement when third of 5 on handicap debut at Chelmsford City (8f) 33 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Improved when a close third of five on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month.
5th	10 5th (10) (6.5/1 +19%) Gypsy Nation	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(10) Gypsy Nation 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not sure to be suited by the longer trip and drawn wider than ideal; blinkers on.
6th	12 6th (12) (28/1 -27%) Navy Wren	28 28/1(-27%)	(12) Navy Wren 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft, 33/1) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. 1 lb out of the weights. Better effort when fourth on handicap debut this month; could make an impact on AW debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -33%) Red Fort	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Red Fort 12/1, Stepped up on return effort when third of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 31 days ago, well positioned. One of likelier contenders. Best effort when third at Nottingham last time, but shorter trip may not be ideal.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -21%) Smart Shot	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Smart Shot 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 66/1) 22 days ago. Makes limited appeal. 1 lb out of the weights. Hasn't beaten many in his first five starts; look elsewhere.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 -7%) Panning For Gold	8 8/1(-7%)	(5) Panning For Gold 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 141 days. Gelded since last seen and appeals as the type to do better in handicaps. Well beaten in three starts in the winter; worth a market check on handicap debut.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -14%) Romantic Sunlight	25 25/1(-14%)	(9) Romantic Sunlight 25/1, 10/1, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 29 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Off the same mark as when winning at Kempton last August, but not threatened since.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -456%) Delayed Action	100 100/1(-456%)	(6) Delayed Action 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 100/1) 15 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Nothing in three starts, but nicely bred and may show more now switched to a handicap.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Moondial runs off just 2lb higher than her success on Kempton's Polytrack surface last September and can go well back on Tapeta, while H Key Lails, who went close over 7f at Wetherby last week, is another of interest having broken his maiden over C&D in March. However, the vote goes to RED FORT, who arrives on the back of his best effort to date and, with his stamina slightly more proven, he looks a big player off the same mark today.

C&D winner H KEY LAILS returned to form when runner-up at Wetherby last week and can race off the same mark here. He can go one better. Potential improvers Dame Laura Knight and Panning For Gold are feared most.

The solid option is H KEY LAILS (nap) who won over C&D in March and has been beaten under a length in two of his three starts since.

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1.75/1 -40%) Philos	1.75 1.75/1(-40%)	(6) Philos 1.75/1, Good second of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Beverley (12.1f, good) 7 days ago, just failing. Big player off the same mark here. Close 2nd over 1m4f at Beverley latest; solid marker with W Buick up for first time.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Optik	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(7) Optik 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 15 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Significantly up in trip and improvement could be on the way. Soft ground against him on handicap debut (1m, favourite); stamina in pedigree for 1m4f.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +5%) Bailar Contigo	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(4) Bailar Contigo 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, very good second of 7 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 20 days ago, running on. Up in trip and she's one of the more appealing candidates. Unproven at 1m4f but stayed on well when close 3rd over 1m1f here recently; good claims.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -33%) Schumann	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Schumann 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at this course (9.5f) 20 days ago. Up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Improvement needed. No progress since handicapping over 1m (turf) and 1m1f here but dam won over 1m5f.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +80%) Little Tiger	4 4/1(+80%)	(1) Little Tiger 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (150/1) at Kempton (7f), slowly away. Off 7 months and moves significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. Modest 7f form as 2yo but out of multiple 1m4f winner so should do better now handicapping.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -14%) Petite Sioux	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Petite Sioux 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in minor event (150/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) 43 days ago. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap on for 1st time for this handicap debut. Minor 1m form; handicaps more realistic but not sure to want 1m4f on pedigree.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -150%) Dawn Mission	40 40/1(-150%)	(3) Dawn Mission 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip and sports first-time blinkers. Modest form at up to 1m, including on handicap debut (50-1); has much to prove.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -203%) Clementyne	200 200/1(-203%)	(8) Clementyne 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in minor event (300/1) at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. Never competed so far; some stout stayers in pedigree so may improve now handicapping.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

PHILOS has done little wrong in defeat lately and, having shown tenacity during a luckless run at Beverley (short of room early and struck into), a similarly determined effort could result in him gaining compensation for that near-miss. Bailar Contigo rates the main danger having shown improvement here last time, although the step up in trip is a bit of a concern. Optik looks best of the rest in a modest handicap.

This represents a good opportunity for PHILOS to open his account. He was unlucky not to do so at Beverley last week and the booking of William Buick adds to his appeal. Optik failed to measure up to market expectations on his handicap debut at Windsor but could be about to take a step forward now upped in trip. Best of the rest is Bailar Contigo, who produced her best effort yet over 9.5f here last time and is also likely to benefit from this stiffer test.

A few of these have something to prove but BAILAR CONTIGO looks worth a crack at 1m4f and she is preferred to Philos.

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.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
