Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (7/1 +65%) Beyond Borders	7 7/1(+65%)	(11) Beyond Borders 7/1, Winner at Thirsk (6f) in July. 15/2, fifth of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, heavy) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Progressive prior to a flop on heavy ground last time; may still have more to come.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 -57%) Succession	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Succession 22/1, Thrice-raced winner. Winner at Bath in May. Only fifth there later in the month and off since ahead of this nursery debut. His mark demands improvement. Off since May but promise over 5f and there should be more to come at this trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (5.5/1 +27%) Suicide Blonde	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(10) Suicide Blonde 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/4, second of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. One to consider from a handy draw. Improved with each run in 6f maidens; needs more here but that's not impossible.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +39%) Tierney	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(3) Tierney 5.5/1, Winner at Haydock in July. Good second of 7 in nursery (11/4) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. 6f Haydock winner in July; similar form when 2nd at Leicester latest; may do better yet.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Pressure's On	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(5) Pressure's On 8.5/1, Fair form. Creditable third of 11 in novice at Salisbury (6f, soft, 13/2) 6 days ago. One of 2 for the Ed Dunlop stable. Has threatened in novice/maiden/nursery company; one of two runners for Ed Dunlop.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -33%) Ajwadi	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Ajwadi 16/1, Winner at Pontefract (6f) in August but struggled in a very competitive nursery at the York Ebor meeting since. Bounce back needed. Pontefract maiden winner; struggled in hot York nursery latest; this more manageable.
7th	9 7th (9) (8.5/1 +47%) Crocus Time	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(9) Crocus Time 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. No progress for nurseries (7f) latest but return to 6f no issue & she's capable of better.
8th	7 8th (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Parker's Piece	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Parker's Piece 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, seventh of 9 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Placed in both AW runs; didn't get home upped to 7f on nursery debut; needs career best.
9th	4 9th (4) (4/1 -14%) The Smiling Wolf	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) The Smiling Wolf 4/1, Improved when a comfortable winner of 8-runner nursery at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) under Rose Dawes 6 days ago. Good shout under a 6 lb penalty. Impressive win at Ffos Las last week (6f, good to soft); well in under a penalty; solid.
10th	1 10th (1) (9/1 -100%) Mini Magna	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Mini Magna 9/1, Two wins at Bath last summer. Narrowly denied the hat-trick on last week's 5f Carlisle nursery debut. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Big player off 1 lb lower. Progressive in recent starts; went close on last week's nursery debut; 4lb well in; chance.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Cogsworth	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Cogsworth 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded first time, third of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Drawn widest. More needed. Below par in one AW run; drawn widest and looks up against it.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The Smiling Wolf secured a comfortable success over this trip at Ffos Las last Friday and he must enter calculations under a 6lb penalty. That said, MINI MAGNA has scored on two of his last three starts and gets the vote on his Tapeta debut. Ed Dunlop's gelding has to shoulder top-weight but he could be hard to stop if transferring his recent form onto the all-weather. The unexposed Suicide Blonde is another to consider.

London & The South start the evening in third place but might be able to narrow the gap at the top of the table courtesy of THE SMILING WOLF, who looks nicely treated under a penalty for last week's comfortable Ffos Las success. The thriving Mini Magna is feared most on the back of her recent Carlisle near miss. Suicide Blonde and Skilled Master are handicap newcomers who make some appeal, although the draw could have been kinder to the latter.

There should be more to come from Beyond Borders but THE SMILING WOLF looks ahead of the handicapper after last week's easy win.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (28/1 -56%) Crimson Angel	28 28/1(-56%)	(4) Crimson Angel 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two AW wins early in the year; absent until low-key turf return 3 weeks ago; can do better.
1	3 1st (3) (8/1 +11%) Minnetonka	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) Minnetonka 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Should be ont he premises again. No win since debut but there was clear promise over 7f at Kempton latest; return to 6f a +.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -40%) International Girl	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) International Girl 14/1, Below form eighth of 18 in handicap (18/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. On a winning mark; promise in one Tapeta run; down in class and not discounted.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/1 -100%) Razzam	5 5/1(-100%)	(10) Razzam 5/1, Winner at Yarmouth in August. 9/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago. Merits plenty of respect despite wide draw. Two good runs for new yard, narrowly missing out at Newcastle last week; contender.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 +25%) Kit Gabriel	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Kit Gabriel 9/1, First run since leaving Amy Murphy when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 40/1) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted. Promising stable debut at Pontefract last month; has C&D form; likely to go well.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Hello Me	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Hello Me 4.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Sure to go well again. Conditions to suit and comes here in good order; easy lead unlikely but still a key player.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Momaer	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(5) Momaer 4.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in July. Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 15/2) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Unexposed and progressive front-runner; well drawn to attack; latest form worked out well.
7th	13 7th (13) (20/1 +50%) Aira Force	20 20/1(+50%)	(13) Aira Force 20/1, Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Quiet the last twice; tongue-tie off and cheekpieces on; others stronger.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 +0%) Estate	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Estate 20/1, Latest win at Windsor in July. 25/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. His two wins this year have come in 5f Class 5 handicaps; well held over 6f latest.
9th	6 9th (6) (10/1 +9%) Le Beau Garcon	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Le Beau Garcon 10/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, running on. Blinkers on 1st time. Should feature if he can secure a reasonable position from stall 11. Handicapped to win but drawn wide on this rare 6f run; change of headgear today.
10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +44%) Water Of Leith	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Water Of Leith 14/1, C&D winner. 18/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Two C&D wins to his name; handicapped to go well but stall 13 won't make life easy.
11th	9 11th (9) (9/1 +10%) Bear Profit	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Bear Profit 9/1, 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 7 days ago. Not in top form at present, so others make more appeal. Not at best this year and perhaps not ready to exploit his reduced mark.
12th	11 12th (11) (66/1 -164%) Alcazan	66 66/1(-164%)	(11) Alcazan 66/1, Course winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago, all out. Remains fairly treated on old form. Back to winning ways on turf latest (form franked) but vulnerable from wide draw this time.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Newcastle last time out, RAZZAM is fancied to build on that effort off the same mark here. Frederick Larson knocks 3lb off the gelding's back and, with more progression likely, the three-year-old can get the better of Hello Me, who drops in class following a creditable second at Chelmsford most recently. Momaer has been consistent of late and is another who warrants consideration.

HELLO ME is right at the top of her game and should be well positioned, so she takes marginal preference over Razzam and Le Beau Garcon, who both arrive on the back of solid showings but have wide draws to contend with. A case can be made for several others in a competitive event.

Minnetonka is interesting back at 6f but KIT GABRIEL shaped well on his stable debut and now has something to build on.

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 8.5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Yeoman	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Yeoman 3.33/1, Dual C&D winner. Very good second of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly. Currently 2-2 over C&D, 0-6 otherwise and fared better back on to Tapeta last time; player.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +27%) Supaspecialawesome	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Supaspecialawesome 8/1, Course winner. Very good second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 15/8) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Visor on first time. Happier on the AW than turf but hasn't looked to see it out in three runs over 7.5f-1m.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +44%) Moonspirit	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(3) Moonspirit 2.5/1, Winner at Bath in July. 10/1, good third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 7 days ago. Can give a good account under Billy Loughnane. Remains open to improvement back down in trip and Billy Loughnane's 3lb claim won't hurt.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 +21%) Pjanoo	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(1) Pjanoo 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning race 18 of this series at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Claims if the headgear works a second time. Surprise winner in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago; fair claims of following up.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -9%) Old Smoke	12 12/1(-9%)	(2) Old Smoke 12/1, Winner at Thirsk in April. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (1¼m, good, 11/1) 28 days ago. This is a touch easier down another 2lb and down in trip, and he holds each-way claims.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 -157%) Royal Dream	9 9/1(-157%)	(9) Royal Dream 9/1, C&D winner last month (form boosted). 11/1, good third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously. Luckless effort last week; this is a bit stronger again but he appears on the upgrade.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 +0%) Valkyrian	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Valkyrian 25/1, Winner at Windsor in May. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago, running on. Can miss the break and/or pull hard; arrives in form but there are safer options.
8th	4 8th (4) (20/1 -67%) Noodle Mission	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Noodle Mission 20/1, Has struggled on turf lately but returns to the scene of his 2 C&D wins earlier in the year. No shock were he to stage a revival. Followers are pinning their hopes on the return to Tapeta bringing him back.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -56%) Achillea	14 14/1(-56%)	(6) Achillea 14/1, Winner of race 3 of this series at Yarmouth (1m) in July. Not in same form when 5¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Pjanoo in handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm, 20/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to find more for the surface switch but is a half-sister to two course winners.
10th	8 10th (8) (20/1 +29%) Lunarscape	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Lunarscape 20/1, 20/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1m, firm) 84 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Lost a shoe at Goodwood and not much went right last time; too soon to write her off then.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

The drop in trip looks set to suit MOONSPIRIT, who lost second inside the final furlong over 1m2f at Newcastle a week ago. The unexposed daughter of Kingman retains the mark from that run and is fancied to improve, but Yeoman can give her plenty to think about following a staying-on second over a mile most recently. A first-time visor could see Supaspecialawesome build on a decent second from his latest outing and he completes the shortlist.

The C&D handicap ROYAL DREAM won last month has worked out really well and he looked unlucky not to go closer when third at Kempton last week so he's the suggestion. His teammate Yeoman has a steadily progressive profile on AW and is second choice ahead of Moonspirit.

Moonspirit is respected, but ROYAL DREAM has progressed nicely in AW handicaps this summer and gets the vote.

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +50%) Koy Koy	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Koy Koy 5/1, Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy, 13/2) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Reliable type who is likely to be on the premises. On last winning mark and was a clear second at Chester last time; in the mix on AW debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +31%) Farasi Lane	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(7) Farasi Lane 4.5/1, Latest win at Ascot in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 21 days ago. Outbattled last time but expected to give his running. Two wins this year and he went close at Windsor last time; could make another bold bid.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +38%) Parlando	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Parlando 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 7 days ago. Still unexposed, so bigger effort can't be ruled out. Lightly raced 4yo but he was beaten 4l at Newcastle last week and needs more progress.
4	5 4th (5) (8.5/1 -42%) What's The Story	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(5) What's The Story 8.5/1, Latest win at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Holding form well and worth a chance to open his account for this stable. In good form on turf for his new yard and he should go well again back on Tapeta.
5th	9 5th (9) (40/1 -122%) Young Fire	40 40/1(-122%)	(9) Young Fire 40/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 26 days ago. Stronger pace here should suit him, so he's not one to rule out. Four wins this year but he was well held last time and this is tougher back up in grade.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -136%) Cry Havoc	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) Cry Havoc 33/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 14/1) 15 days ago, staying on well. On a handy mark, so could feature if she's able to build on latest effort. Finished well when third at Kempton (7f) and she has possibilities back up in trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (40/1 -100%) Night Arc	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Night Arc 40/1, Latest win at Sandown in July. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do. Well below form at Newmarket latest and this is a big step back up in grade; down the list.
8th	4 8th (4) (7.5/1 -50%) Hafeet Alain	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(4) Hafeet Alain 7.5/1, Latest win at Newmarket in June. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 6/1) 26 days ago, running on. Holding form well lately, so could feature if things drop right. In good form on turf this summer and he's respected back on AW.
9th	1 9th (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Lir Speciale	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(1) Lir Speciale 3.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in May. Last of 25 in handicap (40/1) at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Has a solid record on AW and seems likely to bounce back up in trip. His form has slumped at Ascot last twice and has some questions to answer at this new trip.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 -82%) Harswell Duke	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Harswell Duke 40/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Only seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 7/1) 33 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal. Won the Spring Mile at Doncaster in April but he's failed to shine in his two runs since.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +11%) United Front	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) United Front 8/1, Latest win at Beverley in June. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 10 days ago. Goes well on synthetics, so worthy of respect. 6yo who is most potent on AW and has claims if he gets a good pace and some luck.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Young Fire is the only course and distance winner in the field and, as he has won five times off higher marks, the eight-year-old is hard to ignore. LIR SPECIALE is forced to carry top weight, but drops in class after disappointing twice at Ascot and returns to the all-weather having won twice at Kempton. He may be at his best on an artificial surface and could hold off the attentions of Koy Koy, who was not disgraced at Chester and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb here.

The majority have some sort of chance but it may pay to side with WHAT'S THE STORY, who has been holding his form well and hasn't had much racing for his current yard. Hafeet Alain could emerge as the main danger and United Front should benefit from a return to AW.

An open race in which Mick Appleby's UNITED FRONT gets the vote ahead of Hafeet Alain and What's The Story.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Painters Palette	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) Painters Palette 4.5/1, Fine start for present yard when landing pair of course handicaps in the spring (latterly over C&D). Plenty of good efforts since, adding to his tally at Redcar (1m) prior to solid fourth at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Remains of interest from this mark. C&D winner; another solid effort when 4th at Newcastle last week; firmly in the mix.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Naxos	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Naxos 3.5/1, Low-mileage sort who made it 2 from 3 in AW novice events on return at Newcastle (1m) in April. Unable to make an impact in Britannia Stakes (1m) after but back on the up when second at Newmarket (1m) 26 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and not discounted. Unexposed two-time Tapeta winner; good 2nd at Newmarket latest; up 4lb but considered.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -25%) Graignes	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Graignes 10/1, In resurgent form following a wind op, landing handicaps at Kempton/Sandown with plenty to spare prior to a good second at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 12 days ago. Possibly helped by where he raced then however and more needed now revised mark has kicked in. Two ready wins this summer; perhaps ground not ideal latest but he's 9lb higher today.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -40%) Civil Law	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Civil Law 7/1, Goes well at this track, bagging a pair of C&D handicaps late on last year. Largely shaped as if still in form during first half of this term, not seen to best effect when ninth at Kempton 912f) in June. Gone well fresh previously and return to this venue a plus. Four course wins last year; handicapper on top in 2023 but return to Wolverhampton a plus.
5th	7 5th (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Have Secret	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Have Secret 5.5/1, Improved with each start last year, winning 2 nurseries, and has continued on the up this term too, making the frame in a trio of top 3-y-o handicaps. Never involved under a more patient ride when seventh at York (10.2f) 12 days ago but respected as one of only two 3-y-os in the line up. Run well in some good handicaps this year; perhaps a stiffer test will be required though.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +10%) Kingori	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Kingori 9/1, 2-3 in AW maiden/novice events at 3 yrs and back on the up on second handicap start when second behind an upwardly-mobile sort at Newcastle (10.2f) in July. Not in same form switched to turf at Newmarket latest but no surprise to see a better showing back on an artificial surface. Two AW wins and also ran well in a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle in July; less good latest.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +0%) Arcadian Nights	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Arcadian Nights 12/1, 5-y-o who gained third success of the year over C&D in April. Respectable effort at Haydock later that month and he comes here having posted a career-best effort when second at Chepstow (1m) 4 weeks ago. Operating from career-high mark now but he's clearly in good heart. Three AW wins early in the year (two over C&D); good second on turf latest; contender.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -108%) Fantasy Believer	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Fantasy Believer 25/1, Latest win at Newmarket (10f) in July. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 28 days ago, best work finish. Each-way possibilities once more. Newmarket winner in July; third at Chepstow four weeks ago; needs a strong pace to shine.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 +38%) Carolus Magnus	10 10/1(+38%)	(5) Carolus Magnus 10/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding and threatening to come good for present yard, not seen to very best effect when fifth at Newcastle (10.2f) last week. Remains low-mileage and he's not underestimated. Looks to retain good chunk of ability & one to consider, especially if they go quick early.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 -14%) Marie's Diamond	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Marie's Diamond 16/1, On a long losing run but he did run a cracker when second at York (10.2f) in May. Has been some way below that level on last 3 starts though, and whilst this ease in class is a plus, others arrive with more pressing claims. Big chance on even this season's best now faced with a marked drop in grade.
11th	11 11th (11) (22/1 -10%) Lucky San Jore	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Lucky San Jore 22/1, Dual C&D winner upon joining present yard last autumn and, following a couple of lesser efforts in the spring, he returned to form when fourth at Leicester (8.2f) 15 days ago, keeping on having been hampered at the start. Likely to give another good account back on AW. Good record over C&D and ran well over an inadequate 1m last time; not discounted.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Both Civil Law and ARCADIAN NIGHTS have good records here with eight course wins between them, and both look capable off their current marks. Preference is for the Mark Loughnane gelding who was a solid second at Chepstow last month. Upped 2lb for that, he returns to the all-weather and may go one better with a clear run. Naxos is another changing surface and, with his 2/3 record on the all-weather, he is also hard to overlook.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims and there could be a spot of value in KINGORI. He wasn't at his best on turf latest but his profile on all weather is a positive one and this low-mileage 4-y-o can prove his present mark a workable one. Painters Palette and Naxos head up the dangers, whilst Carolus Magnus is threatening to come good soon and is also worth keeping an eye on.

There are risks involved with MARIE'S DIAMOND but this is a drop in class and May's York second represents a strong piece of form.

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 14f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Diamond Bay	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Diamond Bay 7.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at York in June. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good, 17/2) 18 days ago, forced to switch 1f out and staying on strongly. No reason why he won't give another good account. York winner in June (1m6f); still looked in form latest; a strong early pace would suit.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Glenister	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Glenister 4.5/1, Typical improver for shrewd yard, making it 4 wins from 5 starts this term at Newcastle (12.5f) 7 days ago, leading last ½f and idling. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and unlikely he's reached his limit yet. Thriving this year; stepping up in trip can spark even more; strong claims under penalty.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Faylaq	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(4) Faylaq 4.5/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2019. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago. However, others make greater appeal for win purposes. Running well this year and handles Tapeta but getting on for four years since his last win.
4	10 4th (10) (2.25/1 +25%) Belgoprince	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(10) Belgoprince 2.25/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner Amateurs' Derby (12/1) at Epsom (12f, good) 10 days ago, going clear inside final 1f. Rates a big player under a penalty with Billy Loughnane taking off a handy 3 lb. Bolted up over 1m4f at Epsom ten days ago; well in under penalty; obvious chance.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 -14%) Percy Jones	8 8/1(-14%)	(7) Percy Jones 8/1, Placed on 3 of his last 4 starts on turf and ran right up to best when landing 6-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, leading inside final 1f. This rates more demanding up in class from revised mark, though. Ready winner over C&D three weeks ago; this deeper but still has handicapping scope.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -14%) Alnilam	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Alnilam 16/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth (14f) in July. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good to soft, 11/2) 23 days ago, hanging left 2f out and never involved. No surprise to see a better showing. Two wins over this trip in midsummer; progress stalled over 2m latest; type to bounce back.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -22%) Gozo	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Gozo 22/1, Maiden who made a bright start for new yard stepped up in trip, matching previous best when fifth at Newmarket (10f) in July. First blip of the campaign when sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (10f) and he takes another marked step up in trip now. Seven-race maiden; has shown promise but new trip/tongue-tie need to spark more from him.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -175%) The Thunderer	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) The Thunderer 33/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Ollie Sangster when respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Alnilam in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft, 10/1) 42 days ago. Revised mark may not beyond him but slow starting means he comes with risks attached. Two wins for O Sangster this year; shaped well on stable debut 6 weeks ago; may do better.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 +7%) Dark Island	7 7/1(+7%)	(8) Dark Island 7/1, Landed an 11f AW handicap during a mixed 3-y-o campaign but much more consistent this time around, running best race yet tackling this trip for the first time when second at Sandown (14f) 18 days ago. Not out of things on balance. Banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose latest; dangerous with an easy lead.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 -100%) Sophosc	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Sophosc 40/1, Course winner who hasn't been operating at his best on the Flat so far this year but did manage to finish an encouraging second having first start over fences at Stratford (19.5f) 46 days ago. Operating from last winning mark back on the level if he can build on that now. Second over fences latest; this year's Flat form poor but step back up in trip may help.
11th	1 11th (1) (80/1 -100%) Achnamara	80 80/1(-100%)	(1) Achnamara 80/1, Fairly useful C&D winner for Charlie and Mark Johnston in 2022. However, proved most disappointing over hurdles/on Flat for Harry Fry and has since joined present yard for £16,000. Return to AW needs to have positive effect with cheekpieces refitted. Two wins here for the Johnstons; struggled for H Fry; sold £16,000 last month; risky.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

PERCY JONES has been running well of late and he got his head in front last time, scoring over C&D. Mark Loughnane's charge has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that win and, while this is a hotter heat, that could prove lenient. Belgoprince is feared most after running out a decisive winner over 1m4f at Epsom and it would be no shock were he to defy a 5lb penalty, while similar comments apply to Glenister.

BELGOPRINCE arrives firmly at the top of his game, posting a career-best display when bagging the Amateurs' Derby at Epsom 10 days ago, and, turned out under a penalty, he could well be up to going in again with Billy Loughnane taking off a very handy 3 lb. Glenister made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts at Newcastle last week and he's a big threat with the prospect of more to come. Dark Island and The Thunderer complete the shortlist.

Belgoprince won in fine style at Epsom but he's up against another progressive one in GLENISTER (nap) this time.

20:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +0%) Get It	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) Get It 11/1, Course winner. Respectable ¾-length fourth of 14 to Good Earth in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. Not beaten far from a wide stall at Sandown latest; an easy 6f should be fine now; player.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/1 +8%) Tiger Crusade	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Tiger Crusade 11/1, Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 12/1, won 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 40 days ago. 9 lb higher now but he's better on the AW. Arrives in form but such an easy 6f from a double-figure stall is a bare minimum.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +44%) Aramis Grey	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Aramis Grey 9/1, C&D winner. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Must cast that effort aside but his AW record is a positive one. Record in C&D handicaps reads 1241; record in September stands at 12114; can do better.
4	13 4th (13) (14/1 +0%) Walking On Clouds	14 14/1(+0%)	(13) Walking On Clouds 14/1, Four wins in a productive 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 59 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Grant Tuer. This tougher for new yard (picked up for 40,000gns) but he's won fresh; can't be ruled out.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 -69%) Monsieur Kodi	11 11/1(-69%)	(11) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Below form sixth of 18 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 5/1) 19 days ago. This mark should be within range. Below par when among the favourites for the Great St Wilfrid but progressive prior to that.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 +0%) Lequinto	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Lequinto 10/1, Quirky sort. Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in June. 40/1 and blinkered for first time, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 31 days ago. Three-time course winner who's been in fine form round Windsor; is one to consider..
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -25%) Bosh	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Bosh 25/1, 25/1, last of 17 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Well beaten latest following more than a year off; Mums Tipple looks his yard's best shout.
8th	10 8th (10) (6.5/1 +24%) Prisoner's Dilemma	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(10) Prisoner's Dilemma 6.5/1, 10/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with a visor on for the first time. Goes in a first-time visor for Irish trainer who does well with UK runners; shortlisted.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -32%) Strong Power	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Strong Power 33/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Alice Haynes when eighth of 19 in handicap (40/1) at York (5f, good) 40 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip and much higher AW mark is justified. Has regressed on turf this year, latterly for new yard off a turf mark fully 21lb lower.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 -80%) Good Earth	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Good Earth 18/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, digging deep. Back up in trip and he's a credit to connections. Returns to the AW on a career-high rating; will need a personal best if he's to take this.
11th	12 11th (12) (7.5/1 +0%) Celtic Champion	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(12) Celtic Champion 7.5/1, Big career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield in February. 6/1, good fifth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago, never nearer. Shortlist material with prospect of more to come. Drawn away from the action on his return from six months off; that was promising enough.
12th	1 12th (1) (3.5/1 +36%) Mums Tipple	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(1) Mums Tipple 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Excellent fourth in the Wokingham in June and he's had excuses both starts since. This represents a slight drop in class. Needs to put a couple of below-par efforts behind him; has never run off a mark this high.
13th	2 13th (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Space Cowboy	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Space Cowboy 7.5/1, C&D maiden/Newcastle novice winner in autumn of 2021. 12/1, creditable third of 10 in novice event at Newcastle (6f). Off 17 months so well-being an unknown ahead of this handicap debut. Drawn widest; has been off for well over a year and the market should provide some clues.

LTO Selection:

20:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Despite running into a modest third over 6f at Newcastle last time, it is SPACE COWBOY who gets the nod to claim this prize. Richard Spencer's colt appears to be on a workable mark for his handicap debut. Lequinto has been a model of consistency of late and he should be thereabouts despite running off 4lb higher than his neck second over 6f at Windsor last time, while Tiger Crusade isn't ruled out either.

Stall 12 isn't ideal but 3-y-o CELTIC CHAMPION possesses the scope to rate higher before the year is out so he gets the nod in what is a very competitive contest. Mums Tipple eases slightly in class and is a big threat, along with Monsieur Kodi.

Get It is shortlisted but PRISONER'S DILEMMA is most interesting for an Irish trainer who's 8-29 with travellers in recent years.

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.

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.
