2/1(+27%)
(5) Phoenix Beach 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Good second of 8 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. In good order and worth a chance to go one better than last time. Very good C&D second a week ago; this C&D scorer is a player off an unchanged mark.

25
25/1(-79%)
(7) Classy Clarets 25/1, 14/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Struggling for form and hard to make a strong case for. Still a maiden and he arrives below par; others appeal more..

15/2(+25%)
(8) Maharajas Express 15/2, C&D winner. 10/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others have achieved more of late. Largely below par since joining his current yard; this C&D scorer needs to step forward.
7th

7th (4) (9/2 -13%) Let's Go Hugo
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(4) Let's Go Hugo 9/2, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Has been shaping well lately and is worthy of interest. C&D scorer; good second at Newcastle 11 days ago; very much one to consider back up 1lb.
8th

8th (10) (20/1 -25%) Rogue De Vega
20
20/1(-25%)
(10) Rogue De Vega 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs to get back on track. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when 11th at Southwell 18 days ago; possibilities.
9th

9th (2) (40/1 -150%) Stone Of Destiny
40
40/1(-150%)
(2) Stone Of Destiny 40/1, Untrustworthy individual. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form but he's hard to trust. Looked rusty after nine months off when ninth at Newcastle 11 days ago; considered.
10th

10th (3) (22/1 -57%) Symbol Of Hope
22
22/1(-57%)

33
33/1(-106%)
(11) Chiedozie 33/1, 16/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Others make more appeal. Creditable fifth in Lingfield handicap 30 days ago; shortlisted off a 2lb lower mark.
16:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LET'S GO HUGO occupied the runner-up berth in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he was only put up 1lb for that display. Ollie Pears' four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he could prove tough to beat. Phoenix Beach has made the frame on each of his last three starts at this venue and should remain competitive, while Blue Force is another to consider.
PHOENIX BEACH is comfortable at this track and arrives in good order, so he's marginally preferred to Let's Go Hugo, who has shaped well on his last two outings. Aces Wild also comes into the reckoning.
The verdict goes to PHOENIX BEACH (nap) who signalled he is ready to bag a second C&D success when a good second here last time.
(5) Optimistic 200/1, Foaled March 7. Havana Grey colt. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Others preferred. Havana Grey colt; market can guide on his debut.

6
1st (6) (1/1 +78%) Veblen Good
1
1/1(+78%)
(6) Veblen Good 1/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in maiden at Sandown (5f, soft, 4/1) on debut 31 days ago. May well do better and is worth considering. Promising debut second at Sandown; he can take a step forward now; big player.

2nd (8) (9/1 -80%) Queenofdestruction
9
9/1(-80%)
(8) Queenofdestruction 9/1, Foaled March 6. €42,000 foal, €10,000 yearling, £100,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man filly. Dam 1m winner out of useful 6f/7f winner Girouette. One for shortlist on debut given connections. £100,000 breeze-up 2yo; interesting newcomer from leading yard.

3rd (1) (11/2 -100%) Binadham
5.5
11/2(-100%)
(1) Binadham 11/2, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Yarmouth in April. 50/1, 10 lengths thirteenth of 16 to Tropical Storm in listed race at York (5f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Strong claims if he can get back on track. Winless since Yarmouth debut but has kept good company; good claims in these calmer waters.

4th (2) (11/4 0%) Bonnie's Boy
2.75
11/4(0%)
(2) Bonnie's Boy 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Solid claims. Solid fifth in 6f Ayr nursery 24 days ago; he must enter calculations.
5th

5th (7) (20/1 -300%) Lucid
20
20/1(-300%)
(7) Lucid 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/8, second of 7 in maiden at Kempton (5f), not ideally placed. Off 166 days. Should progress further and can't be dismissed. Shaped well when second in 5f Kempton maiden in May; off since but merits consideration.
6th

6th (4) (22/1 -57%) It's Only Fun
22
22/1(-57%)
(4) It's Only Fun 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in maiden (7/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Third at Hamilton for Charlie Johnston; needs considering for his new handler.
7th
3
7th (3) (28/1 -100%) Colocolo
28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Colocolo 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (5/2) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 73 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Worth a market check but more is required. Failed to go on for Kevin Philippart De Foy; needs to hit ground running for new stable..
17:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Binadham brings plenty of experience to the table and sets the standard with a rating of 91, but he will need to bounce back from two underwhelming efforts. Taking that into consideration, the less-exposed VEBLEN GOOD looks the way to go. Karl Burke's juvenile found only one too good on his debut at Sandown last month and, with the likelihood of plenty more to come, he gets the nod. Lucid is another to consider.
This should be well contested but QUEENOFDESTRUCTION cost six figures at the Breeze Ups and represents a stable that does well with similar types, so she's worth siding with first time up. Bonnie's Boy is an obvious player and Veblen Good should step forward from his debut, so they're both considered.
Karl Burke's VEBLEN GOOD shaped well when second on his Sandown debut and can build on it here and get off the mark.
(6) Pals Battalion 10/3, 5/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Likely to be on the premises. Yet to score this term but he's proved a consistent sort; very much one to consider.
2
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Mesaafi
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Mesaafi 2/1, Good third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 4/1) 17 days ago. In a rich vein of form and is unlikely to be far away. Still to get his head in front but in good nick; he's one for the shortlist.
3
3
3rd (3) (12/1 +14%) Ziggy's Queen
12
12/1(+14%)
(3) Ziggy's Queen 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, creditable tenth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth considering back in calmer waters. Consistent this term, solid tenth at Ayr last time; much respected with tongue-tie added.
4
7
4th (7) (18/1 +45%) State Of Madness
18
18/1(+45%)
(7) State Of Madness 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) 31 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip. Has failed to kick on since sent handicapping; he needs to take a step forward.
5th
8
5th (8) (10/1 -25%) Rusheen Boy
10
10/1(-25%)
(8) Rusheen Boy 10/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 74 days ago. Hood back on. Others preferred. Failed to fire at Thirsk/Nottingham this summer but possibilities returned to the AW.
6th
4
6th (4) (12/1 -118%) Glitterella
12
12/1(-118%)
(4) Glitterella 12/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Merits consideration. In good form until only sixth at Salisbury last month; the sort to bounce back though.
7th
5
7th (5) (11/2 +39%) Suicide Blonde
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(5) Suicide Blonde 11/2, 4/1, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 76 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to have a positive effect. Too free after nine months off when last at Lingfield in July; blinkers are reached for.
8th
10
8th (10) (22/1 -300%) Gigastar
22
22/1(-300%)
(10) Gigastar 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fifth of 7 in novice at this course (5.1f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Could do better back up in trip for handicap debut. Brought along steadily, fifth here two weeks ago; player back at 6f on handicap debut.
9th
1
9th (1) (16/1 +36%) Dapperling
16
16/1(+36%)
(1) Dapperling 16/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 40 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for after a couple of tame efforts. Arrives out of sorts, tenth at Southwell latest; handily weighted if getting back on track.
10th
9
10th (9) (28/1 -522%) Borealis Thunder
28
28/1(-522%)
(9) Borealis Thunder 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, third of 6 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good, 12/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could have more to come and market will be significant. Hooded when good third at Brighton 27 days ago; not discounted now going handicapping.
17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MESAAFI has made the frame in this grade on each of his last two outings, including over 7f here last time and he goes off an unchanged rating. Charlie Fellowes' four-year-old may only need to maintain that level of form in order to get off the mark. Glitterella could only manage midfield at Salisbury last time, but she is worth another chance based on her pair of runner-up efforts prior to that. Of the remainder, Dapperling makes the most appeal.
MESAAFI is in good form and could be the one to side with iin an open race. Pals Bataliton should go well again, while handicap-debutante Borealis Thunder would require respect if the market spoke in her favour.
Preference is for Harry Eustace's GIGASTAR who appeals as a likely improver now handicapping with the step back up in trip also a plus
(5) Novak 9/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 14/1) 4 days ago. Should give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon. Creditable third at Ayr last Thursday but difficult to recommend for win purposes..
2
9
2nd (9) (11/2 +39%) Snooze Lane
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(9) Snooze Lane 11/2, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in April. Good third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this course (9.5f) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Back to a potentially lenient mark, so merits consideration. All four wins have been over 8.5f-9.5f at this track; may find this an insufficient test..
3
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +0%) Sonmarg
4
4/1(+0%)
(2) Sonmarg 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Makes plenty of apppeal. Yet to win a handicap but placed in four of his last five starts, all on AW..
4
1
4th (1) (11/2 +73%) Evocative Spark
5.5
11/2(+73%)
(1) Evocative Spark 11/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Last win was in September last year; minor form since but return to 7f can help.
5th

5th (3) (8/1 +0%) Ormolulu
8
8/1(+0%)
(3) Ormolulu 8/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 7/2) 17 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. On a handy mark and can't be dismissed. Dropping in the weights and hood left off but others look stronger for win purposes..
6th
12
6th (12) (10/1 -100%) A Pint Of Bear
10
10/1(-100%)
(12) A Pint Of Bear 10/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 21 runs this year. Very good second of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, sticking to task. Should get competitive again. Beaten a short-head over C&D last Monday; claims off career-low mark.
7th
11
7th (11) (18/1 -100%) Buttercross Flyer
18
18/1(-100%)
(11) Buttercross Flyer 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, no match for winner. Others are more persuasive. Shaped encouragingly when fourth and second over C&D last month for new yard..
8th
4
8th (4) (20/1 -25%) Em Jay Kay
20
20/1(-25%)
(4) Em Jay Kay 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Nottingham in July. 28/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Others are more appealing. Steps back up in trip but last of 11 when tried over 7f in April at Chelmsford..
9th

9th (6) (8/1 +33%) Rainwater
8
8/1(+33%)
(6) Rainwater 8/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Shaped better than the result on previous outing and shouldn't be written off. Nine-race maiden who hasn't gone on since an encouraging second on his debut last year.
10th
10
10th (10) (25/1 -257%) Vaunted
25
25/1(-257%)
(10) Vaunted 25/1, 12/1, won 16-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Remains well treated on her best form. In good form at about 6f on turf with wins at Chepstow in August and Bath last month..
11th
7
11th (7) (16/1 -33%) Spirit Of The Rose
16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Spirit Of The Rose 16/1, 16/5, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 68 days ago. Has lacked consistency and needs to get back on track after a break. Six-race maiden but was only beaten a head when second at Haydock in July..
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A PINT OF BEAR ran on into fourth over 6f here last month before going agonisingly close over C&D last Monday. Scott Dixon's charge appears to be coming to the boil now and, from a handy draw, is taken to gain compensation. Vaunted has yet to confirm her stamina at this trip but the manner in which she won at Bath recently suggests it will be no problem. Adrian Wintle's mare can go close along with Sonmarg, who continues to knock at the door.
A PINT OF BEAR goes well here, is in good order, and has an ideal draw, so he's the solid option in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out winner Vaunted should come into it and Sonmarg deserves plenty of respect.
This has an open look and preference is for the unexposed 3yo SPIRIT OF THE ROSE. Bint Havana Gold is the main danger.
(1) Addosh 9/4, 4/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Potentially well treated in this sphere and has to be taken seriously. Three wins over hurdles but hasn't won on the Flat since 2021; 0-6 on AW..
2

2nd (2) (1/1 +9%) Baileys Warrior
1
1/1(+9%)
(2) Baileys Warrior 1/1, Gained some reward for her consistency when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 21 days ago. Has found another weak race and could take plenty of beating. Good record over 2m and wide-margin C&D winner three weeks ago; back up 3lb; good chance.
3
5
3rd (5) (22/1 -450%) Robeam
22
22/1(-450%)
(5) Robeam 22/1, C&D winner. 50/1, good 4¼ lengths third of 10 to Baileys Warrior in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Worthy of respect. Inconsistent and his two recent placed efforts at big prices probably reflect that..
4
7
4th (7) (10/1 +70%) Wahoo King
10
10/1(+70%)
(7) Wahoo King 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Five-race maiden who has shown little so far; steps up in trip in first-time cheekpieces..
5th

5th (8) (22/1 -175%) Highland Lil
22
22/1(-175%)
(8) Highland Lil 22/1, 13/2, first run since leaving Tom Dascombe when respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Not ruled out. Nine-race maiden but step up in trip may bring about improvement..
6th

6th (6) (50/1 0%) Kitten's Dream
50
50/1(0%)
(6) Kitten's Dream 50/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 125/1) 9 days ago. Others preferred. On a long losing run and hard to fancy..

7th (3) (28/1 -75%) Easy Equation
28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Easy Equation 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Winless when with Charlie Fellowes and has shown little in two runs for his current yard..

8th (4) (13/2 +80%) Lumberjack
6.5
13/2(+80%)
(4) Lumberjack 13/2, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 46 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Barry Brennan. Eight-race maiden making his stable debut for his fifth trainer..
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BAILEYS WARRIOR recorded a commanding success over C&D on his return from a 75-day absence three weeks ago and, from just 3lb higher, this looks a good opportunity to double up. Robeam finished four-and-a-quarter lengths behind in third that day but more will be needed to reverse that form, so Addosh, who returns from a brief spell over hurdles, might be the bigger threat.
BAILEYS WARRIOR is more consitent than most at this level and arrives on the back of a likeable performance to score over C&D last time, so she's the most solid option for all that Addosh is potentially well handicapped back on the level. Robeam is also respected.
This should take little winning and BAILEYS WARRIOR looks set to follow up after her win here three weeks ago. Addosh is next best.
(6) Port Noir 5/1, 4-time course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 14 days ago, never nearer. Merits some respect from a reduced mark. Multiple wins up to 7f; stamina query over C&D latest but she kept on well into 4th.

10
2nd (10) (12/1 +40%) Juan Cool Dude
12
12/1(+40%)
(10) Juan Cool Dude 12/1, Fifth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Had a few goes off modest marks, tending to be a weak finisher at 1m and 1m2f.

6
6/1(-100%)
(8) Rubellite 6/1, Course winner. 12/1, second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Can make presence felt. Course winner in January; back to form at Newcastle latest; in the thick of it.

18/1(-260%)
(4) Fitz Perfectly 18/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 4/1) 52 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Worth monitoring in the betting. Maiden; pick of 1m form on Polytrack offers hope on course/yard debut.

1.4
7/5(+60%)
(7) Forever Proud 7/5, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/8) 25 days ago. Stable debut prior to that was encouraging and she's worth another chance. Both 1m2f wins on Polytrack; beaten favourite both starts for new yard; course debut.

7th (2) (11/2 +78%) Beaming Light
5.5
11/2(+78%)
(2) Beaming Light 11/2, Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (16.6f) 21 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Others preferred. Promise over 1m in June but hasn't fared well in handicaps over various trips, 2m latest.

16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Van Zant 16/1, Course winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (9/1). Off 154 days. Hard to make a case for unless the market speaks in his favour. Excellent run of form on Tapeta in the spring; soundly beaten over C&D in May; off since.

(9) Kenstone 18/1, Course winner. Good second of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 42 days ago, flattered by proximity. Back up in trip. Worthy of respect. Has C&D form; weighted to go well if wide stall doesn't count against him.

(12) Rising From Embers 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Looks limited. Modest form at 7f and 6f; bred to fare much better up in trip now handicapping.

50
50/1(-317%)
(5) Precious Lagatha 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D. Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Makes handicap debut. Has plenty to prove. Hint of ability on AW but off since early 2023; likely to need this; new yard.

80/1(-60%)
(11) Metal Beau 80/1, 100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good). Off 100 days. Hard to fancy. Had few chances but little of note as yet.
19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PORT NOIR hasn't been easy to win with lately, but her recent fourth over course and distance signalled somewhat of a return to form. Robert Stephens' charge is now 2lb below his last successful mark and in a race lacking much depth, another step in the right direction might suffice. Rubellite finished a creditable second over 1m2f at Newcastle last month and is of interest down in trip. Olympic Quest showed little in two starts at Bath recently but she will appreciate a return to the all-weather.
FOREVER PROUD disappointed at Chelmsford last time but the race may have come too soon and she's liable to bounce back after more of a break, so she's worth chancing. Rubellite and Fitz Perfectly arrive in good order and should be on the premises.
Port Noir seemed to stay this trip here last time but preference is for RUBELLITE after her return to form at Newcastle recently.
(4) Ravenglass 10/3, Twenty-eight runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers replace hood. Losing run up to 28, but well treated on pick of AW form; possibilities.

25
25/1(+0%)
(12) Guildford 25/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 33/1) 21 days ago, going off too hard. Tough to assess at present. Little to get excited about in six starts; best watched.

3rd (8) (10/1 +50%) Eccentric
10
10/1(+50%)
(8) Eccentric 10/1, 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 9 days ago. Back over a more suitable trip with blinkers back on. 8lb below sole winning mark; has run well over C&D and could go well again.

4th (2) (2/1 +67%) Meng Tian
2
2/1(+67%)
(2) Meng Tian 2/1, C&D winner. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 25 days ago, slowly away. Needs to cast that effort aside. 2lb lower than when winning over C&D in April; high on list if back to that sort of form.
5th
10
5th (10) (15/2 +6%) Inexplicable
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(10) Inexplicable 15/2, Seven-time C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Eight-time course winner; not easy to predict, but capable of making his presence felt.
6th

6th (3) (15/2 -200%) Tasever
7.5
15/2(-200%)
(3) Tasever 15/2, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 28/1) 46 days ago. Long-standing maiden but he can remain competitive. Ran well when third last time, but 0-21 and the outside stall not helpful.
7th

7th (9) (33/1 -136%) Peachey Carnehan
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Peachey Carnehan 33/1, Nine-time course winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces replace usual visor. Nine-time winner here, but is attempting this far for only the second time in 159 starts.
8th

8th (1) (16/1 -60%) Mr Slicker
16
16/1(-60%)
(1) Mr Slicker 16/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (8f, 20/1). Off 150 days. First run for yard after leaving Mme R. Edwardsson Giron and not an easy one to assess. Won eight races on the AW in France; watch market on stable debut after five months off.
9th

9th (5) (6/1 -80%) Eva Rosie
6
6/1(-80%)
(5) Eva Rosie 6/1, 8/1, respectable third of 10 in minor event at this course (12.2f). Off 98 days and back down in trip. 0-12 but placed in five 0-50 classified events on the AW this year; each-way claims again.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Inexplicable is due to go down 2lb for future races but has been capable off this mark in the past with eight wins here. He can go well but MR SLICKER intrigues on his first start for new connections. A multiple winner in France at Chantilly and Deauville, he looks more than interesting off a mark of 52, leaving Tasever to follow them home.
Hard to make a compelling case for any of these, so long-standing maiden TASEVER gets the tentative nod from his career-low mark with a good-value claimer booked. Eva Roise and Handel are a couple of dangers.
The vote goes to MENG TIAN who has dropped 2lb lower than when successful over C&D in April.
(7) Beset 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 33 days ago, no match for winner but seeing this trip out well. Five-race maiden who finished second at Lingfield last month on her handicap debut..

9/1(+25%)
(6) Southern Voyage 9/1, 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 10 days ago, weakening having taken a strong hold. Now below last winning mark. Scored at Doncaster in May off 2lb higher mark but placed only once since..

(8) Royal Praise 9/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Last of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 44 days ago, reportedly returning lame. Back up in trip. 100-1 winner off this mark at Chelmsford in June; back up in trip..

7/2(+22%)
(5) Sugarloaf Lenny 7/2, Latest win at Lingfield in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 3/1) 18 days ago in his quest for the hat-trick. In good form with wins at Yarmouth in August and Lingfield last month..
5th

5th (4) (9/4 +36%) Bobacious
2.25
9/4(+36%)
(4) Bobacious 9/4, 13/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut and he remains of interest. Both wins this year at 1m2f; trip query as looked a non-stayer over 1mk4f in August.
6th

6th (2) (4/1 -78%) Genesius
4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Genesius 4/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Has good chance on form having been eased 1 lb. Has been largely consistent this year, finishing third at Catterick 12 days ago..
7th

18/1(+45%)
(1) Sun Tracker 18/1, Hooded for first time, seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (12f). Off 7 months and given a chance by the handicapper but work to do on balance of form for this yard. Returned from a break when third over C&D last November but has failed to build on that..

14/1(-40%)
(3) El Pro 14/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, last of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm). Off 130 days. Significantly back up in trip (campaigned over this sort of distance in Germany). Maiden back from break and may need more weight off his back..
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BESET remains a maiden after five starts, but she showed plenty of improvement when stepped up to this trip at Lingfield last month where she finished second. Any further progress may see the Expert Eye filly get off the mark, with Sugarloaf Lenny her biggest rival. Wins at Yarmouth and Lingfield this season were followed by a fourth at Southwell but he may still place, with Bobacious another to at least consider.
GENESIUS arrives on the back of a pair of solid placed efforts and eased 1 lb, he makes plenty of appeal. Bobacious is rarely missed in the market and can remain competitive at this level, while 3-y-o Beset is not yet fully exposed.
C&D winner GENESIUS looks the one to be on here off a career-low mark. The unexposed Beset looks the main danger.
(10) Cerulean Summer 13/2, Creditable second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 17 days ago though slow starts are becoming the norm with her. Slow starts have become a habit but she still went close over C&D 17 days ago.
2
11
2nd (11) (13/2 +7%) Coloane
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(11) Coloane 13/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago, left with too much to do. That effort suggests she's in reasonable nick. Regressed since her Pontefract win in July but she does have form around here.
3
1
3rd (1) (6/1 +70%) Outrace
6
6/1(+70%)
(1) Outrace 6/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Drops in class but still has a fair amount to prove. Hasn't won for a good while and has been well below his best the last twice.
4

4th (5) (17/2 -13%) Mykonos St John
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(5) Mykonos St John 17/2, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 17/2, undone by a penalty when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Others more persuasive. 33-1 winner over 8.6f here last month but inconsistent and fared less well last week.
5th

5th (3) (6/1 +40%) Paradoxical
6
6/1(+40%)
(3) Paradoxical 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, first run since leaving Sylvester Kirk when sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago. Down in trip. 0-5 and showed no improvement on stable debut having been gelded.
6th

6th (2) (11/1 -144%) Cariad
11
11/1(-144%)
(2) Cariad 11/1, Course winner. 9/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor back on. Has to be taken seriously eased 1 lb. In fair form and well worth another go over today's extended 1m1f.
7th

7th (4) (14/1 -40%) Persian Phoenix
14
14/1(-40%)
(4) Persian Phoenix 14/1, Eighteen runs since sole win in 2023. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Sole win came here in a novice; cheekpieces could help, as might an easy lead.
8th
6
8th (6) (16/1 -256%) Blue Hero
16
16/1(-256%)
(6) Blue Hero 16/1, Latest win at Bath in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago., particularly as he was forced to switch. Not taken lightly. Always goes well at Bath (as last time) but does have placed form on the AW.
9th
7
9th (7) (3/1 +57%) Cuban Harry

3/1(+57%)
(7) Cuban Harry 3/1, Opened account over 8.7f here in September. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 12 days ago and needs to settle better to stay this new trip. Disappointing at Kempton but two solid performances here prior to that.
10th

10th (8) (33/1 -32%) Speed Court
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Speed Court 33/1, First run since leaving Harry Eustace when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 9 days ago, slowly away. Needs to build on that with cheekpieces removed. Left Harry Eustace in September and was only ninth of 12 on stable debut over C&D.
11th

11th (9) (25/1 -25%) Ultimate Sapphire
25
25/1(-25%)
(9) Ultimate Sapphire 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice (200/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 28 days ago. Handicaps more suitable. Poor so far; goes handicapping at a realistic level but market support is needed.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
With very little recent winning form to work with, it may be worth considering Mykonos St John, a winner here over shorter in September, but only sixth at Southwell when dropped back to a mile. The seven-year-old can go well, but a chance is taken on CERULEAN SUMMER. Upped just 1lb after a close-up C&D second in September after a slow start, she could go one better here. Persian Phoenix is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.
CARIAD is just 1 lb above her last successful mark and with this slight step up in trip expected to help her cause, she's just about the most appealing option. Blue Hero and Cerulean Summer are a couple of potential threats.
Charlie Johnston's PERSIAN PHOENIX is on a recovery mission but she's in first-time cheekpieces and could get a soft lead up front.

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.
