16:41 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (10/1 -82%) Courageous Strike	10 10/1(-82%)	(2) Courageous Strike 10/1, Back on track making all-weather/nursery debut when second of 14 at Dundalk (7f, 10/1) 3 weeks ago. Goes up in trip and switches to tapeta on first run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. Respected. Ex-Irish maiden; stamina is an obvious question mark from the outside stall.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +42%) Free Speech	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(4) Free Speech 3.5/1, Upped further in trip, made a winning nursery debut in 7-runner event (9/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago, keeping on to lead final 50 yds. Could be more to come now that she's up and running. Winner off 4lb lower on her nursery debut a fortnight ago; goes on the shortlist.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +43%) Bay Of Australia	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Bay Of Australia 8/1, Made the frame on first 3 starts but lesser effort when seventh of 9 in minor event at Ripon (1m, good to soft, 18/1) 69 days ago. Needs to get back on track making his tapeta/handicap debut. Has stamina to prove back from ten weeks off on his nursery debut.
4	8 4th (8) (3.5/1 +30%) Go Your Own Way	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(8) Go Your Own Way 3.5/1, Off the mark at Bath in September. Career-best effort when second of 12 in nursery (9/1) at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago, only just failing. Can resume winning ways in his current form. Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow; needs considering.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -155%) Storm Alice	28 28/1(-155%)	(6) Storm Alice 28/1, Opened account at Chepstow in September but below form under contrasting conditions when fourth of 6 in nursery at Yarmouth (1m, soft, 13/8) 36 days ago. Could bounce back making her second start on all-weather. Possible that softening ground didn't suit at a short price last time; should fare better.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +68%) Beauty Generation	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(1) Beauty Generation 9/2, Stepped up on first 2 outings when successful at Chelmsford City in August, but not in the same form when fifth of 6 in nursery at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 5/1) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with cheekpieces applied. Didn't look to have any excuses on his nursery debut; first-time headgear needs to help.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -56%) Seahorse Syd	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) Seahorse Syd 14/1, Has shown improved form switched to nurseries, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when landing 5-runner event (9/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 31 days ago. Enters calculations. Blinkers have helped and there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise; respected.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/2 -115%) Volcanology	3.5 7/2(-115%)	(3) Volcanology 7/2, Left debut form behind when winning 7-runner maiden at Brighton (1m, good, 11/2) 17 days ago, having run of race. Dangerous if allowed her own way out in front again as she goes handicapping. Dam won over 1m6f for the yard and it's likely there's more to come; shortlisted.

LTO Selection:

16:41 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner at Brighton last time out, VOLCANOLOGY is the leat exposed in the field and should therefore be open to plenty of improvement on just her third career outing. The step up in trip is a big plus and she should have too much for Courageous Strike on his first start for new connections and Go Your Own Way, who has been narrowly denied on his last two starts.

GO YOUR OWN WAY produced a career best when runner-up at Kempton 11 days ago, only just failing, so he is taken to go one better returned to this longer trip. Courageous Strike was also narrowly denied on his latest outing and could be the main danger on his stable debut, with Seahorse Syd completing the shortlist.

Ollie Pears is 5-19 with 2yos on the AW this season and SEAHORSE SYD can add to the tally. Volcanology is second choice.

17:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1.25/1 +55%) Eagle Angel	1.25 1.25/1(+55%)	(2) Eagle Angel 1.25/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event (5/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 51 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip and improvement should be forthcoming. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree; this trip is bound to suit after a pleasing 7f debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +40%) Hampden	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(4) Hampden 4.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (9f, soft, 9/4) 12 days ago. Open to progress and one to consider on AW debut. Pulled hard on soft ground latest; retains some potential but will need to settle early.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 -40%) Zayina	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(1) Zayina 3.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2/1, won 6-runner minor event at Brighton (8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Another bold show likely, provided that she takes to this surface. Quite a late foal with stamina in her pedigree; stiffer test should suit under a penalty.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -67%) Across Earth	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) Across Earth 20/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (8f, 4/1) on debut 21 days ago. Will be sharper this time and he's one to consider. Deal of promise after a slow start over 1m on his debut; is entitled to improve.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +8%) Faster Bee	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Faster Bee 6/1, Fair colt. 17/2, good second of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 44 days ago. Stamina to prove now upped in trip, but should be thereabouts if he does see it out. Step into the unknown stamina-wise tonight; vulnerable to improvers back to novice company.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -33%) Rogue King	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Rogue King 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/4, fourth of 7 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good) on debut 17 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Among the favourites for his turf debut; will have learned from that but this looks deeper.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 -115%) Flowering	14 14/1(-115%)	(8) Flowering 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Bath (8f, soft, 14/1) on debut 25 days ago. In good hands and can be expected to leave that form behind in time, but others preferred here all the same. Never happy and beaten a long way on her soft-ground debut; likely best watched after that.
8th	6 8th (6) (250/1 +0%) Nicholo	250 250/1(+0%)	(6) Nicholo 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Chester (7f, soft, 500/1) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Huge prices for two runs from wide stalls round Chester last month and ran accordingly.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ZAYINA may have a 7lb penalty to overcome for a taking success at Brighton last week, but that was only her third start and she should be open to far more improvement as she goes up in distance. Narrowly denied at Southwell last month, Faster Bee looks to be a key player, along with Across Earth, who ran a highly-encouraging race on his debut at Newcastle.

This step up in trip promises to suit ZAYINA, who was strong at the finish when opening her account in a 1m Brighton novice. She is likely to take plenty of stopping on her all-weather debut, despite carrying a penalty. Across Earth and Hampden are both open to improvement and rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while Eagle Angel and Rogue King showed ability on their respective debuts and can do better in time.

17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (11/4 +21%) Star Of St Louis	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(7) Star Of St Louis 11/4, 18/1, not seen to best effect on first run since leaving Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 13 days ago, forced very wide home turn. One to consider. Solid debut for his new yard recently; fine on Tapeta but wants a true test over this trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +17%) Golden Phase	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(4) Golden Phase 5/2, Winner at Bath in August. 9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Enters calculations. Two solid efforts on Polytrack since a turf win off 3lb lower; high on the shortlist.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 +38%) Coconut Bay	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(8) Coconut Bay 15/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/1) 25 days ago. Seems to be going through the motions at present. Generally poor this year since leaving Hughie Morrison; goes without headgear tonight.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 +31%) Distinction	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Distinction 9/2, Thirty runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 17/2) 10 days ago. May come on for the outing. Just a single win to his name after 43 starts; ordinary run back from a break ten days ago.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 -8%) Possible Ambition	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(1) Possible Ambition 13/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (8f), running on. Off 8 months but sure to be in the thick of the action if ready to roll. Found a weak handicap back from a break; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -180%) Clotherholme	14 14/1(-180%)	(5) Clotherholme 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs to settle early from stall 9; otherwise he arrives in form and on a competitive mark.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -21%) College Wizard	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) College Wizard 80/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 80/1) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Poor maiden who's had plenty of chances; Brazen Arrow looks his trainer's best shout.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -285%) Inexplicable	25 25/1(-285%)	(6) Inexplicable 25/1, 6-time C&D winner who lost all chance at start on most recent outing. Risky proposition at present. Seven-time course winner; tailed off eight weeks ago; needs to rediscover his spark.
9th	12 9th (12) (150/1 -127%) Pink Walls	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Pink Walls 150/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 200/1) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Six poor efforts over various trips and is exposed as moderate.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +25%) Brazen Arrow	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Brazen Arrow 12/1, Course winner. One win from 38 Flat runs. Ran below form when fifth of 9 in minor event (22/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft). Off 100 days. Cheekpieces back on. Boasts a fair course record and will be happier back down from 1m2f; each-way claims.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

The step up in trip can work the oracle for GOLDEN PHASE, having shown signs in recent starts, when slightly outpaced over a mile, that she may relish this longer distance. The booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye and she is preferred to Clotherholme and Possible Ambition, who wasn't beaten far at Newcastle when last seen in February. Completing the shortlist are Coconut Ba and Star Of St Louis.

GOLDEN PHASE did well to sustain her effort at Lingfield 22 days ago having been forced wide throughout, so she remains of interest, especially with that form proving solid. Star of St Louis and Possible Ambition head the opposition.

18:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.91/1 -60%) Initio	0.91 0.91/1(-60%)	(1) Initio 0.91/1, Fair maiden. 50/1, last of 13 in the mud in handicap at York (7f) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. The clear form choice. Stopped quickly on soft ground a fortnight ago; is better judged on his earlier turf work.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +61%) Fianian	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(4) Fianian 3.5/1, Last of 5 in maiden (22/1) at Cork (8f, good to firm) on debut 51 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Sean Davis. Outsider of five when finishing a remote last on his 1m debut in Ireland early last month.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +0%) So Glorious	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) So Glorious 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 125/1) 11 days ago. Related to winners, including here, and has shown more than the majority of these.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 +8%) Maruna	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Maruna 11/1, Massaat filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Casaruan. Dam down the field in maidens. In good hands so she's an interesting newcomer. Newcomer; market strength would see her enter calculations in a weak affair.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 -32%) Jesse Luc	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) Jesse Luc 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Similar profile to his two stablemates, having twice been beaten a long way at big prices.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 +18%) Teah	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Teah 33/1, Fifth of 7 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 100/1) on debut 53 days ago. Lots more is needed. Likely she's one for handicaps but is worth tracking in the market.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 +0%) Hailey Ya Mal	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Hailey Ya Mal 9/1, Seventh of 10 in maiden (9/4) at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut. Off 6 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Owen Burrows. Open to improvement. Bombed on debut and has since been sold for 11,000gns and gelded; watch the market.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 +45%) National Health	18 18/1(+45%)	(6) National Health 18/1, Fourth of 8 in seller at Leicester (7f, heavy, 80/1) 10 days ago, not knocked about. May do better. Said to have struggled with his breathing last time; some sort of chance on that though.
9th	12 9th (12) (20/1 -167%) Won't Stand Down	20 20/1(-167%)	(12) Won't Stand Down 20/1, 2,000 gns foal, Hot Streak filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m winner Tezzaray and useful winner up to 1¼m Mountain Rescue. Market can prove a good guide. Yard wouldn't be noted for newcomers but she wouldn't need to be any great shakes.
10th	11 10th (11) (250/1 -150%) Hedenham	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Hedenham 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 300/1) 18 days ago. Beaten miles on debut and again when just behind stablemate Jesse Luc last time.
11th	7 11th (7) (100/1 -150%) Pachelbel	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Pachelbel 100/1, 125/1, last of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) on debut 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Started 125-1 when finishing a remote last on her Newcastle debut three weeks ago.
12th	3 12th (3) (150/1 -50%) Timely Artist	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Timely Artist 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 200/1) 58 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. First-time tongue-tie and switch to Tapeta will need to make a massive difference.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INITIO sets the standard for the others to aim at with a rating of 75, despite finishing last of 13 on his handicap bow at York. This looks like a much more suitable assignment and he could get his head in front for the first time, with the form of his third-placed finish in a similar event at Thirsk in August giving him strong claims. Hailey Ya Mal was well supported on his debut but he failed to fire in seventh and has since switched to the Antony Brittain stable, so that could spark more from the three-year-old. So Glorious completes the shortlist.

INITIO wasn't seen at his best in the mud at York last time but possesses much the best form on offer and is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of Mick Appleby's newcomer Maruna who is worth monitoring in the betting. National Health and Hailey Ya Mal appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (14/1 -56%) Abduction	14 14/1(-56%)	(11) Abduction 14/1, Course winner who confirmed himself still in top form when second of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, heavy) 15 days ago, running on. 12lb higher than when last seen on the AW; needs a personal best at the end of a busy year.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +9%) All The King's Men	5 5/1(+9%)	(8) All The King's Men 5/1, 10/3, run best excused when last of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm) on most recent outing, poorly drawn and also found to have an irregular heartbeat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and could get back on the up now returning to all-weather after a break. This mark is surely within range, returned to the trip over which his wins have come.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +9%) Percy's Lad	10 10/1(+9%)	(2) Percy's Lad 10/1, 9/2, followed a good run with a below par one when down the field in 17-runner handicap at York (7f, soft) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Keen-going front-runner; much will hinge on how he settles and whether he gets his own way.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -10%) Street Kid	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) Street Kid 11/2, C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap (8/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 49 days ago, holding on gamely. Respected back on all-weather. Dual C&D winner who's been in good form on turf; no obvious reason he won't go well.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 -33%) Master Zoffany	12 12/1(-33%)	(10) Master Zoffany 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chester in September but wasn't in the same form when last of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Things didn't pan out his way at Ayr and this previous C&D winner should fare better.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -25%) Documenting	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Documenting 10/1, 3-time C&D winner who finished last in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 12/1) 42 days ago. Must up his game appreciably. Three wins and a second to his name in eight runs over C&D; switch from turf should help.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +0%) Master Richard	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Master Richard 16/1, Latest win at Newcastle in May and shaped as if back in form when seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 57 days ago. Hood refitted. Won't mind the drop from 1m but whether he'll be able to lead as he likes is questionable.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -229%) Escobar	28 28/1(-229%)	(7) Escobar 28/1, Ran no sort of race when nineteenth of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft, 28/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut in first-time visor (tongue tie also refitted). On the downgrade this year; will need some luck if dropped in as usual from stall 11.
9th	9 9th (9) (15/2 -7%) Mitrosonfire	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(9) Mitrosonfire 15/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 but bounced back to his best when third of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 21 days ago. Enters calculations. Arrives in good form and it's hard to find any negatives; should go well then.
10th	3 10th (3) (2/1 +78%) Aratus	2 2/1(+78%)	(3) Aratus 2/1, Respectable third of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Leicester (7f, good), left poorly placed. Off 12 months but has won fresh before and it's worth noting he won his only previous start on all-weather. Interesting. Had breathing op. Can pull hard and there are risks involved back from a year off but is worth a look.
11th	1 11th (1) (28/1 -180%) Safe Voyage	28 28/1(-180%)	(1) Safe Voyage 28/1, Veteran who was suited by a brisk gallop on testing ground when resuming winning way at Chester in August. Not quite in same form at Haydock 7 weeks later and now returns to the all-weather for the first time since June 2022. Retains most of his ability and is fine on Tapeta; the harder they go the better for him.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Street Kid held on by a head to score over this trip at Haydock last month and if he can transfer that form to the all-weather, then he ought to have a big say off 3lb higher. However, preference is for ARATUS, who has undergone wind surgery since finishing third in a class 2 handicap at Leicester when last seen 12 months ago. The five-year-old is 1-1 on the all-weather and he could make a winning return to action off a 3lb lower mark. Safe Voyage is a reliable sort and he also has to be considered.

ALL THE KING'S MEN failed to beat a rival at Haydock when last seen in June, but it's easy to excuse him that run, and he's fancied to resume his progress now returning to the all-weather after a break. Aratus shaped well on several occasions in competitive handicaps in 2022 and is capable fresh, so he's a very interesting runner too, particularly as he was successful on his only previous all-weather start. Mitrosonfire bounced back to his best at Ascot last time and completes the shortlist.

Aratus is worth a look, but it would be a surprise were ALL THE KING'S MEN (nap) not up to winning a decent prize off this mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +0%) Eagle's Realm	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Eagle's Realm 5/1, 9/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good) 27 days ago. Fair on the all weather, so not ruled out. Exposed maiden on the Flat; 2nd over 1m6f on latest Flat outing but usually worth opposing.
2	3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +0%) Doublethetrouble	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(3) Doublethetrouble 5.5/1, 13/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 14 days ago. Needs considering. Runner-up in three AW runs since cheekpieces returned; should be involved once again.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +20%) On The Right Track	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) On The Right Track 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Bath in June. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 4/1) 18 days ago. Up in trip. In the mix. Two wins this year and in good form since returning in August; ought to stay this far.
4	5 4th (5) (3.2/1 +36%) Lord Torranaga	3.2 3.2/1(+36%)	(5) Lord Torranaga 3.2/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Another bold showing is on the cards. Runner-up on his last four starts; new headgear tried this time; should be involved.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -25%) Kitten's Dream	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Kitten's Dream 25/1, C&D winner. 28/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 17 days ago. Unreliable sort. C&D winner; down in the weights & retains some ability; better effort expected today.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 +25%) Zivaniya	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Zivaniya 9/2, Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 21 days ago. Can give a good account. 0-9 but his two placed efforts have come on Tapeta; each-way claims again.
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 +24%) Northern Rose	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Northern Rose 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 28/1, good sixth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Up in trip. No forlorn hope back on the level. Little to enthuse over on the Flat or hurdling; new trip needs to give her a lift.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 -14%) Corsican Caper	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Corsican Caper 16/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Exposed 15-race maiden; stamina not assured and vulnerable despite his reduced mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (17/2 -113%) Ezmerellda	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(7) Ezmerellda 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, very good fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 24 days ago. One to consider. Unexposed 3yo who was keeping on over 1m4f here 24 days ago; more to come over this trip.
10th	2 10th (2) (33/1 -200%) Haven Lady	33 33/1(-200%)	(2) Haven Lady 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Yet to find her best after a summer break but the return to Class 6 company in her favour.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

ON THE RIGHT TRACK was denied by two lengths over an extended 1m3f here earlier in the month and he was only raised 1lb for that display. With the booking of a 5lb claimer to ease the burden of top weight, the six-year-old attempts this trip for the first time and that could eke out the improvement needed to strike this evening. Doublethetrouble has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings and he should go well once more, while Eagle's Realm returns to the Flat after three outings over hurdles and he is also respected.

LORD TORRANAGA is knocking firmly on the door and rates just the pick of the weights too so is taken to gain a deserved success and edge out in-form duo Doublethetrouble and Ezmerellda.

Some reliable handicappers on show but the unexposed EZMERELLDA may progress past them now faced with a stiffer test of stamina.

Can't be taken lightly as he bids for a four-timer. Won his last three (all 6f on AW) and a 2lb rise for last time not excessive; yard in form.
2	7 2nd (7) (25/1 -178%) Global Effort	25 25/1(-178%)	(7) Global Effort 25/1, 9/2 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Retains ability and slipping to a dangerous mark; return to 6f a plus; stall 11 a negative.
3	10 3rd (10) (33/1 -65%) One For The Ladies	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) One For The Ladies 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Up against it. C&D winner in July off 1lb higher; had an excuse at Newcastle last time; tricky draw.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -38%) Araifjan	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Araifjan 11/2, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 27 days ago. Should leave latest effort well behind him now back down in class.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -112%) Gatwick Kitten	18 18/1(-112%)	(4) Gatwick Kitten 18/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago, running on. Should give another good account. Three turf wins this year; finished with a flourish at Kempton 11 days ago; major player.
6th	12 6th (12) (14/1 -40%) Secret Daay	14 14/1(-40%)	(12) Secret Daay 14/1, 8/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Not one to dismiss. 0-14 but went close on a rare 6f run ten days ago; this is a stronger race though.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/1 +36%) White Umbrella	7 7/1(+36%)	(9) White Umbrella 7/1, Won 10-runner handicap (9/2) at Catterick (6f, soft) 23 days ago. Remains well treated on old form, so not one to rule out. Threatening here before winning at Catterick three weeks ago; 2lb rise not excessive.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 +0%) Yaahobby	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Yaahobby 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 22/1, 5¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Noteable in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal. 5f win here in July off 4lb lower; handicapper on top since; 6l behind Noteable last week.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 -43%) Jack Of Clubs	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Jack Of Clubs 20/1, C&D winner. Winner here in August. Tenth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 24 days ago. C&D winner in August; plenty went wrong for him here 24 days ago; could bounce back.
10th	1 10th (1) (15/8 +46%) Noteable	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(1) Noteable 15/8, 5/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, keeping on well. Carries penalty. Well respected despite the quick turnaround. Back in the groove now, winning easily at Newcastle last week; solid under a 5lb penalty.
11th	11 11th (11) (80/1 -60%) You Are My World	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) You Are My World 80/1, 28/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 177 days. Back down in trip. Plenty to prove. Caused a 40-1 upset at Kempton (6f) last summer; out of sorts in the spring; risky.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NAZCA clearly sets the standard based on his hat-trick in recent months and a 2lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him here. Gatwick Kitten was only beaten a neck into third off this mark at Kempton recently and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Noteable and Jack Of Clubs are others to note.

CORINTHIA KNIGHT is handicapped to win and arrives on the back of a good run at Windsor so, if he can get across from a wide draw, he should be capable of ending a losing run. Last-time-out winner Noteable looks a threat and the four-timer seeking Nazca obviously merits respect.

The fast finish of GATWICK KITTEN at Kempton last week offered considerable encouragement that he would be breaking his AW duck soon.

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (17/2 -113%) Jojo Rabbit	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(4) Jojo Rabbit 17/2, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 14/1) 11 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Regressive and hard to win with now but he's been consistent since cheekpieces went on.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +23%) Ecclesiastical	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Ecclesiastical 5/1, Three wins from 15 runs this year, the latest at Thirsk in August. 3/1, bit below form third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, soft) 25 days ago. Back to only 1 lb above last successful mark. Strong traveller who's enjoyed a good season; little margin for error off this mark.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/5 +36%) Phoenix Beach	3.2 16/5(+36%)	(7) Phoenix Beach 16/5, AW winner last summer who left 3 turf efforts this year behind when second of 8 in C&D handicap 18 days ago, running on. Worth a chance to confirm that promise. Much better over C&D last time; same mark and stall tonight, and needs considering.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -60%) Secret Mistral	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Secret Mistral 12/1, Latest win at Leicester in September. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 10/1) 17 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Makes tapeta debut. Whether she'll be able to dictate down to an easy 5f from stall 7 the question on AW debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +36%) Leodis Dream	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Leodis Dream 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in September. 25/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 20 days ago, doing too much too soon. In form, goes well here, will find this a bit easier and fairly drawn for a front-runner.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 +13%) Dark Side Prince	14 14/1(+13%)	(9) Dark Side Prince 14/1, C&D winner who was in good form on AW in the first half of the year. Reached the frame in 2 turf starts in the second half of the summer and enters calculations back on AW. Consistent and has gone well fresh but stall 9 isn't ideal for one happiest up front.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/2 +0%) Papa Don't Preach	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(3) Papa Don't Preach 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle (5f) in January. Has struggled for form lately but is back on a good mark if a return to AW helps to spark a revival. Dual Tapeta winner who's on a career-low mark for a yard in decent nick; capable.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 +0%) Murbih	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Murbih 6/1, C&D winner. 10/3, creditable third of 8 in C&D handicap 18 days ago but the reopposing Phoenix Beach was ahead in second. Always been best here and arrives in form and fairly treated; is hard to win with though.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -14%) Pablo Del Pueblo	25 25/1(-14%)	(6) Pablo Del Pueblo 25/1, Pair of polytrack wins at the start of 2023. Last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago, although he was rather rushed up after missing the break. Soft ground no good to him last time but done most winning on Polytrack; others stronger.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Phoenix Beach hit the crossbar in a similar event over C&D last time and he merits the utmost respect once again. However, a chance can be taken with DARK SIDE PRINCE, who is a dual winner over this track and trip. The six-year-old races off the same mark as his most recent victory at Southwell in February and his latest efforts on turf have been encouraging. Others to consider are Murbih and Secret Mistral.

PHOENIX BEACH shaped well when second over C&D recently and, fresh for the time of year, looks worth a chance to build on that. Dark Side Prince has had a good year and is feared most ahead of Murbih, who finished a place behind the selection here last time.

The vote goes to PAPA DON'T PREACH, who'll appreciate the return to the AW off a career-low mark. Phoenix Beach is next best.

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.
