Races & Results Thursday 2nd November 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Quantum Cat 2/1, Looked a good prospect when making a winning debut here (8.6f) 13 months ago but absent since finishing down the field in 10-runner Newmarket novice (10f) in April. Still, in leading hands and no surprise to see him thereabouts back on AW/following 6 months off. Well beaten on sole run this season (April) but won here last October on only 2yo start.

(2) (2/5 +35%) To Catch A Thief
0.4
2/5(+35%)
(2) To Catch A Thief 2/5, Son of Cracksman who showed more than first time up when third of 10 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good) in June, keeping on final 1f. Gelded subsequently and very much the type to go on improving. Sound claims. Promise in April/June on both starts; gelded since; strong claims now up in trip.

(4) (125/1 -56%) Climate Queen
125
125/1(-56%)
(4) Climate Queen 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 6 in minor event (125/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 37 days ago, left behind from 3f out. One for later on. Sent off at 125-1 and finished a well-beaten last on her debut at Lingfield in September.

150/1(-50%)
(3) Apple Gin 150/1, Offered little only start for Rod Millman at Chepstow in summer 2021 and similar story on belated return/yard debut over hurdles 4 days ago. Can only be watched here. Well beaten in 2021 on sole Flat run; pulled up at Wincanton on Sunday on first run since.
LTO Selection:
12:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Quantum Cat wouldn't be far away if he were to run anywhere near his official rating of 85, but the Kitten's Joy colt does have something to prove after finishing in ninth at Newmarket in April. With that in mind, this could prove a suitable opportunity for TO CATCH A THIEF to gain a breakthrough victory. The William Haggas-trained gelding posted a solid third at Leicester in June and a similar level of performance may suffice, while Climate Queen and Apple Gin may enjoy more success once in handicaps.
This looks a straightforward match between TO CATCH A THIEF and Quantum Cat. The former took a step forward from his debut effort when third at Leicester back in June and there's likely more to come back from a break/having been gelded.
Preference is for TO CATCH A THIEF, now he's upped in trip having been gelded. Quantum Cat is the danger.
(3) Heartrate 4/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in September. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 8/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Placed over 6f here last week and he looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix.
4

(4) (5/1 +14%) Showtime Mahomes
5
5/1(+14%)
(4) Showtime Mahomes 5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in September. 5/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago, having every chance. Still unexposed at 7f but he needs to find something extra to get back on the scoresheet.

(1) (11/4 +9%) Intervention
2.75
11/4(+9%)
(1) Intervention 11/4, C&D winner who almost snapped his long losing run back sprinting at Kempton last month. Failed to build on the promise of that here since but can be given another chance. On long losing run and disappointing when favourite here last week; others preferred.
5
5
(5) (13/2 +50%) Outrun The Storm
6.5
13/2(+50%)
(5) Outrun The Storm 13/2, Cashed in on a reduced mark in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket in July. Good second over same C&D next time and not seen to best effect all 3 starts since. Won at Newmarket in July but has not matched that form since; down the list.
6
6
(6) (14/1 -75%) Phoenix Fire
14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Phoenix Fire 14/1, Confirmed return to form when fourth of 16 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 24 days ago. Has solid record since his 7f win last November and he looks interesting back in trip.
7
7
(7) (16/1 -60%) Granary Queen
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Granary Queen 16/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Rare below par effort when tenth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Type to bounce back quickly. Disappointing last time and losing run is mounting up but she's a generally reliable type.
9
9
(9) (16/1 -167%) Mykonos St John
16
16/1(-167%)
(9) Mykonos St John 16/1, Course winner who turned in his best effort of the season when second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago, well positioned. Firmly in the mix with a repeat. Went very close off reduced mark at Lingfield and he's a key player back at this trip.
2
2
(2) (17/2 -29%) Visibility
8.5
17/2(-29%)
(2) Visibility 17/2, 4-time course winner who ran well after 4 months off when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 9 days ago. Tapeta specialist who was a good fourth over C&D on his return last week; respected.
11
11
(11) (18/1 -13%) Ravenglass
18
18/1(-13%)
(11) Ravenglass 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, ran below form when ninth of 14 in 1m handicap at Kempton 15 days ago, though did have the worst of the draw. 0-11 this year and well below form at Kempton last time; others are more convincing.
8

(8) (18/1 +20%) Abolish
18
18/1(+20%)
(8) Abolish 18/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 40/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has struggled this year, including in two runs for current yard; needs a major revival.
10
10
(10) (50/1 -60%) Candy Warhol
50
50/1(-60%)
(10) Candy Warhol 50/1, 16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 7 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Nine-race maiden who has finished in rear in his last three runs; tongue-tie now added.
LTO Selection:
13:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HEARTRATE returned to form with a third-placed finish over 6f at this venue last Tuesday and the three-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread now returning to 7f. First-time cheekpieces should only help Mark Loughnane's gelding and he may get the better of the in-form Phoenix Fire. The son of Fast Company has been in good heart on the turf of late and he's likely to be in the mix, along with the downgraded Intervention.
INTERVENTION failed to build on the promise of his last run here 9 days ago, but he wasn't seen to best effect having got no cover out wide, so is well worth another chance. Heartrate isn't long with his current yard and heads the dangers, along with Mykonos St John, who posted a seasonal best at Lingfield last week.
Scott Dixon has a strong hand with Mykonos St John and Visibility but PHOENIX FIRE gets the vote on his drop back in trip.
(3) Portsmouth 7/1, Foaled March 25. Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Chichester and 7f-1¼m winner Totnes. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Half-brother to 4 winners, notably Listed scorer Chichester (RPR 112); apprentice ridden.

(6) (7/2 +0%) Swindon
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(6) Swindon 7/2, Foaled April 16. €45,000 yearling, 85,000 gns 2-y-o, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Dangerous Moonlite and winner up to 9.5f Anoline. Dam maiden (stayed 6f). Interesting newcomer. 85,000gns 2yo; half-brother to six winner and represents strong yard; considered.

10/1(-18%)
(2) Fouroneohfever 10/1, Foaled April 25. €65,000 yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 1¼m-1½m winner Good Impression. 65,000gns half-brother to two winners; yard operating at 14% with 2yos this year.

11/1(+21%)
(7) Red N Blue Dream 11/1, Foaled March 23. 15,000 gns foal, 37,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Arctician. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class miler Lightning Spear. 37,000gns half-sister to 7f AW winner Arctician (RPR 94); stable's 2yo strike-rate down.

(1) (11/4 +31%) Artistic Mission
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(1) Artistic Mission 11/4, Foaled February 6. Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to smart 6f winner First Folio. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Yard's juveniles still going strong and he's an appealing type on paper. Gelded half-brother to useful 6f winner First Folio (RPR 106 on Tapeta); good yard.
5
5
(5) (13/8 +73%) Savvy Exchange
1.625
13/8(+73%)
(5) Savvy Exchange 13/8, Foaled March 4. €27,000 foal, 110,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Dam, ran a few times on Flat/over hurdles, half-sister to smart winner up to 9f (US Grade 2 event) Tuttipaesi. 110,000gns yearling; appeal on paper but yard has not had a winning 2yo newcomer this year.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The market is likely to prove informative in this contest where all of the field are making their racecourse debuts. Representing the Karl Burke yard, ARTISTIC MISSION makes plenty of appeal on paper. A half-brother to the highly-rated First Folio, the Showcasing gelding won't be found lacking for speed. Portsmouth is likely to want a bit further than 7f in time, but he also boasts a pedigree to be competitive in a race of this nature, while Swindon and Savvy Exchange are others to note.
The betting will doubtless be informative but it would be no surprise to see ARTISTIC MISSION go well for Karl Burke and he gets the vote over Swindon and Portsmouth as things stand.
Portsmouth and Swindon are likely types but ARTISTIC MISSION is preferred for a yard which has shone with 2yos this year.
13:35 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Giorgio M 7/2, Twice-raced colt. 11/2, still green when fourth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago. Remains open to improvement. 4th over 6f on both starts; a longer trip may be preferable but he might not be far away.

(1) (8/11 +64%) Engineer
0.727273
8/11(+64%)
(1) Engineer 8/11, 60,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Brother to winner up to 7.5f Identified and half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner She Can Dance and 5f winner Match Play. Third of 11 in novice (16/1) at Kempton (6f) on debut 41 days ago, nearest finish. May well do better. Best of the newcomers when third at Kempton and this likeable prospect has leading claims.
8
8
(8) (11/4 -22%) South Shore
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(8) South Shore 11/4, Blue Point colt who made a promising start when second of 6 in novice at Ripon (5f, good). Sets the standard on that form but proved a major let-down at Sandown next time. Up in trip. Has left Simon & Ed Crisford. Disappointing in September but a contender if tapping back into debut promise; yard debut.

(9) (18/1 +10%) Top Flight Century

18/1(+10%)
(9) Top Flight Century 18/1, Foaled April 12. €45,000 foal, 110,000 gns yearling, The Grey Gatsby gelding. Half-brother to very smart winner up to 1½m Alenquer and French 2-y-o 7.5f winner Cte d'Escarbagnas. Dam German 1m winner. Half-brother to 1m2f Group 1 winner Alenquer; may come into his own over further next year.

(6) (50/1 -52%) On Song

50/1(-52%)
(6) On Song 50/1, Calyx colt. Half-brother to useful 9f-11f winner Simply Sondheim. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 7f winner Dutch Connection. Ninth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (28/1) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Well beaten at 28-1 on recent C&D debut; may be of greater interest when tackling further.

66
66/1(-32%)
(7) Pickwell 66/1, Foaled February 10. €15,000 yearling, Harry Angel gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Parchemin. Dam unraced half-sister to French 1m 2yo/1m2f Listed winner; best watched on debut.

80/1(-21%)
(3) Hearitfortheboys 80/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, seventh of 15 in novice at York (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Soundly beaten in mid-division on first two starts; probably one for further down the line.

(4) (125/1 -89%) King Street
125
125/1(-89%)
(4) King Street 125/1, Seventh of 8 in maiden at Haydock (6f, soft, 50/1) on debut 34 days ago. Slowly away and always behind when well beaten at 50-1 on debut at Haydock in September.

150/1(-50%)
(10) Touching Hands 150/1, €7,500 yearling, New Bay filly. Dam French 7f-8.2f winner. 200/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at this course (7.2f) on debut 10 days ago. 200-1, down the field over 7f here on recent debut.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This can go the way of ENGINEER, who must hold every chance if building on a strong placed effort on his debut at Kempton in September. A couple from that contest have run well since, and Clive Cox's charge may have too much for C&D runner-up Monfrid, as well as South Shore, who is very interesting on his first start for the Karl Burke yard.
ENGINEER produced a promising first effort when third at Kempton 6 weeks ago, just lacking experience at a crucial stage, and is preferred to Monfrid, who also made an encouraging start over this C&D. South Shore is a big threat if reproducing the form of his debut run for another yard.
There was lots to like about the debut third of ENGINEER at Kempton in September and he can emerge on top. Monfrid is feared most.
14:10 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Digital 6/4, 7/4, capitalised on the drop into claiming company when winning 7-runner event at Kempton (6f) 8 days ago, readily. Shortlist material back in a handicap.

(7) (6/1 +0%) Surprise Picture
6
6/1(+0%)
(7) Surprise Picture 6/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year, latest here in September. Ran one of this season's lesser races when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 5/1) 9 days ago. Must bounce back.

(9) (7/1 +0%) Minnesota Lad
7
7/1(+0%)
(9) Minnesota Lad 7/1, 12/1, never involved after another slow start when tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 63 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more persuasive.

(2) One Night Stand 11/1, C&D winner. 10/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 26 days ago. Back up in trip.

12/1(-41%)
(8) Absolutelyflawless 12/1, C&D winner. 4/1, wasn't seen to best effect after a further 9 weeks off when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, never nearer after hampered start.

(1) (13/2 +24%) Algheed
6.5
13/2(+24%)
(1) Algheed 13/2, C&D winner. Wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 40/1) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Continues to edge down the weights and she's not taken lightly.
10
10
(10) (14/1 -40%) Kensington Agent
14
14/1(-40%)
(10) Kensington Agent 14/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 9 runs this year. 6/1, run of good form halted when fourth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 5 months ago. Has done her winning on all-weather this year so warrants respect.

(3) (17/2 -70%) Muscika
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(3) Muscika 17/2, 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 9/4, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) just under 11 weeks ago, having run of race. 6 lb higher now and one to consider back on the all-weather.
5
5
(5) (25/1 -108%) Yesterday's Hero
25
25/1(-108%)
(5) Yesterday's Hero 25/1, Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in January but proved to be a disappointment when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (6f). Makes handicap debut after 8 months off and interesting to see how he fares in the market having been gelded.
6
6
(6) (33/1 -106%) Mersea
33
33/1(-106%)
(6) Mersea 33/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. Last of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and a wide stall may complicate things a little.
11
11
(11) (40/1 -186%) Mokaatil
40
40/1(-186%)
(11) Mokaatil 40/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Not one to be writing off just yet from a mark that continues to fall but has a tricky draw to overcome here.
12
12
(12) (150/1 -200%) Hawajes
150
150/1(-200%)
(12) Hawajes 150/1, Soon detached and never asked for an effort at any stage when last of 8 on handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 16/1) in July. Back on the all-weather and worth a second look in the market.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DIGITAL bounced back to form with a commanding display at Kempton last week and, given the five-year-old has performed well off much higher marks in the past, this may be an ideal opportunity to get a sequence of victories going. A winner over C&D in May and at Epsom last time out, Muscika is a key player along with the unexposed Yesterday's Hero.
DIGITAL capitalised on the drop into claiming company with an authoritative display at Kempton last week and returning to a handicap from a career-low mark, Karl Burke's 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Muscika, who won at Epsom in August and can continue his good work back from a break. Algheed and Mokaatil can do battle for minor honours.
Algheed and Absolutelyflawless are respected but this looks good for DIGITAL (nap) after his comfortable Kempton win last week.
(4) Artisan Dancer 2/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in September. 15/8, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Three AW wins this summer; third off this mark last time; may yet have a bigger run in him.
7
7
(7) (9/2 -29%) Surrey Belle
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(7) Surrey Belle 9/2, Golden Horn filly who made the frame first 3 starts in handicaps and proved too free to have any chance of lasting out under tough conditions when distant fourth at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 33 days ago. Remains relatively early days but she does need to settle better. Struggled on heavy ground last time and now 0-7 but current mark is workable.

9
9/1(+0%)
(3) Kehlani 9/1, 10/3, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 47 days ago, slightly short of room final 1f but keeping on. Not out of things tackling this slightly longer trip. Below best last time but her second in new cheekpieces two runs ago makes her of interest.

(8) (11/2 +15%) Autonomy

11/2(+15%)
(8) Autonomy 11/2, C&D winner. Six wins from 20 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 12 days ago, keeping on when hampered inside final 1f. Operating 3 lb below last winning mark and drop back in trip fine. Triple Tapeta winner in spring 2022 and looked back in good form here 12 days ago.

2
(2) (11/2 +15%) Turner Girl
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(2) Turner Girl 11/2, Latest win at Newcastle (12.5f) in August. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 7/1) 35 days ago, every chance approaching final 1f and keeping on. Longer trip within range and she's one to consider. Went close on her last two appearances and is probably still on a workable mark.

(5) (13/2 -44%) Buxted Reel
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(5) Buxted Reel 13/2, Course winner. 13/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 14 days ago, no match for winner. On a very handy mark if he can back that up here. Arrested decline with good second last month; remains on very good mark.

18/1(-50%)
(9) Sindri 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and visored for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and visor quickly discarded now upped further in trip. Had excuses when well beaten on handicap debut; up in trip here; may still have potential.

(6) (33/1 -32%) Kalamity Kitty
33
33/1(-32%)
(6) Kalamity Kitty 33/1, Successful all 3 starts at up to 2m early last year but not kicked on from an encouraging reappearance run this term and would need to see more before becoming of interest. Won all three races in 2022 but seems badly to have lost her way this year.

(1) (100/1 -614%) Man Of Riddles
100
100/1(-614%)
(1) Man Of Riddles 100/1, Fairly useful in this sphere (3-time winner on AW stays 16.5f). Bought by present yard for 35,000 gns and may have needed the run when fifth of 6 on return/hurdles bow at Market Rasen (23f) in June but he's tough to assess having been absent subsequently. Tailed off in a novice hurdle on stable debut in June; others have much less to prove.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TURNER GIRL has hit the crossbar the last twice, including over 1m4f at Southwell last time, and is well respected off the same mark. The four-year-old filly should have no problem with this step back up in distance, so she can go one better on this occasion. The main danger is Artisan Dancer, who has failed to justify favouritism on each of his last two starts but was far from disgraced at Newcastle when third. Man Of Riddles warrants a market check too.
ARTISAN DANCER has enjoyed a good spell on AW, completing a quick-fire hat-trick over further at Lingfield in September. Far from disgraced when third at Newcastle on his latest start 2 weeks ago, his mark remains a workable one and he can make his presence felt again. Buxted Reel and Turner Girl head up the dangers, whilst Surrey Belle isn't one to dismiss out of hand either.
(7) Gypsy Whisper 7/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Upped in trip, raced too freely when eleventh of 12 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D a week ago. Mark continues to fall but more needed to take advantage. 0-16 on the AW and she ran very freely before weakening here last week.
6
6
(6) (10/1 +17%) Caracristi
10
10/1(+17%)
(6) Caracristi 10/1, Dual C&D winner, with latest success at this venue in March. However, below form here on her last 3 starts, eighth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at this C&D 10 days ago. Others more persuasive. Following a four-month break, she doesn't look ready to win again judged on last two runs.

(1) (10/3 +5%) Opticality
3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(1) Opticality 10/3, Off the mark at this course (8.6f) in October. However, not seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 10 days ago, hampered under 1f out. Can make presence felt. Recent course winner who didn't get the breaks back here ten days ago.

(4) (11/8 +21%) Star Of St Louis
1.375
11/8(+21%)
(4) Star Of St Louis 11/8, Making only his second start for current yard, returned to winning ways in 10-runner handicap at this course (8.6f, 11/4) 6 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and he looks to hold leading claims. Had the run of things when a winner here last week; looks sure to go well again.

(2) Well Prepared 12/1, C&D winner in January. After 6 months off, possibly needed the run when eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Could fare better with his recent run behind him. Only 3-30 and needed to run better here 12 days ago after his break.

12/1(-200%)
(3) Virtual Hug 12/1, First run since leaving Conor O'Dwyer, matched pick of this season's form when fifth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (12.2f) 12 days ago. Merits consideration back down in trip. 0-20 on the Flat but didn't run at all badly over 1m4f here on recent stable debut.

16/1(-14%)
(8) The Grey Bandit 16/1, Free-going type who again looked a hard ride when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1m, 22/1) 55 days ago, hanging left over 2f out. Cheekpieces back on. Well beaten the last twice and possible stamina doubts further reduce his appeal.

(10) Headshot 18/1, Course winner. Well below form when sixth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 59 days ago. Application of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. Has a lot to prove but well handicapped and now goes in new blinkers.

40/1(-150%)
(12) Clandestinely 40/1, Not in the same form as previous outing when ninth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 38 days ago. It still remains early days, though, as she makes only her third start in a handicap. There has been the odd bit of promise but not over C&D last time when comfortably beaten.

66/1(-230%)
(11) Zalicia Fire 66/1, First run since leaving Robyn Brisland when ninth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Ayr (1m, heavy) 3 weeks ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Has work to do. Heavy ground perhaps not ideal three weeks ago but she went off 50-1 that day.

(9) Naadyaa 66/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. First run since leaving Joseph Parr, always behind when tenth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 33 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Longstanding maiden who has been well beaten in last five runs, latterly on stable debut.

125/1(-150%)
(5) Cuttlestone Bridge 125/1, In first-time eyeshields, fared no better than previously when eighth of 11 on handicap debut (150/1) at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago. Best watched. Has no form claims having finished down the field in all his runs.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
STAR OF ST LOUIS accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length in this grade last week and he is only asked to compete off 4lb higher. That keeps the six-year-old on a workable mark and he can record a double. Opticality was victorious over an extended mile here on her penultimate start and, if she can reproduce that sort of form, she could have a say. Of the remainder, Virtual Hug makes the most appeal.
STAR OF ST LOUIS took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at this course 6 days ago and he can follow up as he makes only his third start for his current yard. He is taken to get the better of Opticality, who can bounce back having been hampered here on his latest outing, with Virtual Hug completing the shortlist.

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.

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.
