(6) Up The Jazz 8/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. 13/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 27 days ago, well positioned. Probably remains in form and shouldn't be ruled out. Dual turf winner who is unexposed on AW but he's not easy to predict; others preferred.

2nd (9) (7/1 +13%) Charlie's Choice
7
7/1(+13%)
(9) Charlie's Choice 7/1, C&D winner. 5/1, 8¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Tribal Wisdom in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, lost all chance at start. Capable of getting involved for all that slow starts are an ongoing issue. Disappointing over C&D latest but he missed the break and has claims if he can bounce back.

3rd (1) (33/1 -230%) Polling Day
33
33/1(-230%)
(1) Polling Day 33/1, Respectable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Tribal Wisdom in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson. Not taken lightly. Both wins were in 2021 and was held behind Tribal Wisdom here latest; now with new yard.

4th (5) (9/1 +10%) Timetobenice
9
9/1(+10%)
(5) Timetobenice 9/1, 20/1, last of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good). Off 150 days. Had been in form prior to latest effort and is worth monitoring in the market on return. Lightly raced 3yo but he was tailed off last time and has something to prove on return.
5th

5th (3) (11/4 +31%) Tribal Wisdom
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(3) Tribal Wisdom 11/4, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) 11 days ago. One to consider. Record of 2-2 at this track and was good third at Chelmsford last time; key player.
6th

6th (8) (3/1 +0%) Fools Rush In
3
3/1(+0%)
(8) Fools Rush In 3/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 11/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago. Has good chance on form. Had near miss over 8.6f here last Monday and is a major player if he can repeat that form.
7th

7th (2) (16/1 +20%) Young Fire
16
16/1(+20%)
(2) Young Fire 16/1, Course winner. Latest win at York in September. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. Won at York in September but he's been disappointing since and has tough draw back on AW.
8th

8th (7) (15/2 +17%) Visibility
7.5
15/2(+17%)
(7) Visibility 15/2, 6-time course winner. Latest win here in October. 10/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Worthy of consideration. Six-time course winner who scored over C&D two runs back; big player if he gets some luck.
9th
11
9th (11) (28/1 -100%) Vecchio
28
28/1(-100%)
(11) Vecchio 28/1, Fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 80/1) 7 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Not discounted. 0-12 but was an eyecatcher over 8.6f here last time and has claims if he can build on that.
10th
4
10th (4) (50/1 -178%) Ellexis
50
50/1(-178%)
(4) Ellexis 50/1, C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 66/1) 26 days ago, missing break. Needs to get back on track. Emphatic win over C&D in January but was beaten 20l at Kempton on comeback; risks attached.
11th
10
11th (10) (16/1 -14%) Flatley
16
16/1(-14%)
(10) Flatley 16/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newbury in July. 28/1, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Has lost his way since his Newbury win in July and needs a major revival.
16:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TRIBAL WISDOM landed a more competitive handicap than this when last tried over course and distance two starts ago. The son of Frankel looks to have solid claims back this venue, with Ryan Kavanagh's 3lb allowance further helping his cause, and he can regain the winning thread. Visibility won an amateur riders' race here on his penultimate outing and the return to this longer distance will suit, while Fools Rush In is not easily discounted having won over the extended mile here in September.
FOOLS RUSH IN goes well here and, having just been collared late here a week ago, he's worth a chance to make amends if the race doesn't come too soon. Tribal Wisdom is a danger and Visibility can feature if things drop right for him.
Top of the list is TRIBAL WISDOM, who is 2-2 at this track and was a creditable third behind an improver at Chelmsford last time.
(2) Wonder 4/11, Thrice-raced gelding. Pulled up in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 5/1). Off 13 months and gelded since last seen, but has shown plenty of ability on first couple of starts, so worthy of respect. Clear promise in first two of his three 2yo runs and he needs a close look on comeback.
2
4
2nd (4) (5/1 -67%) Steps In Time
5
5/1(-67%)
(4) Steps In Time 5/1, Shalaa gelding. Closely related to 1m winners Enlighted and Zanibar and half-brother to winner up to 15f Anecdotic. Dam 1m winner. Interesting newcomer. Has good pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut.
3
3
3rd (3) (25/1 -150%) Mr Grimes
25
25/1(-150%)
(3) Mr Grimes 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f, 5/1) 53 days ago, slowly away. Needs to up his game. Promising second on Lingfield debut but he failed to build on that at Chelmsford.
4
1
4th (1) (7/1 -331%) Show Biz Kid
7
7/1(-331%)
(1) Show Biz Kid 7/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when sixth of 7 in novice at this C&D (evens) 23 days ago. Definite claims on his best form. Flopped over C&D on stable debut but is a big player if he can bounce back near best.
5th
5
5th (5) (22/1 +33%) Ricardo Phillips
22
22/1(+33%)
(5) Ricardo Phillips 22/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 40/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, heavy) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others make more appeal. Well held in all five runs including two Class 6 handicaps; can only be watched.
6th

6th (6) (80/1 -142%) Rohilla
80
80/1(-142%)
(6) Rohilla 80/1, £20,000 yearling, 1,000 gns 2-y-o, Raven's Pass filly. Sister to 6f winner Mana Pass. Dam, 6f-7f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Solva out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Annapurna. Yard 2-31 in maidens in recent years and she could be one for further down the line.
16:45 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Show Biz Kid attempted to make all when starting favourite here on his first start for new connections, but faded tamely in the closing stages. He can fare better with that outing under his belt, but a chance is taken on WONDER. The son of Masar makes a belated reappearance after suffering a setback at Newmarket over a year ago, though he had shown enough when runner-up at Salisbury before that to suggest he can win at this level. Mr Grimes may prove best of the rest.
This looks a weak race and STEPS IN TIME makes some appeal on pedigree, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start at the possible expense of Show Biz Kid. Wonder can make his presence felt if tuned up after a long absence/gelding operation.
This looks a bit trappy but SHOW BIZ KID has leading claims if he can bounce back near his best and he gets the vote.
16:45 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(9) Naughty Eyes 6/1, Foaled March 23. 12,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), closely related to smart winner up to 7f Campanelle out of useful 2-y-o 5f winner Janina. One to note on debut. Yard 20% with 2yos this year and she needs a close look on debut.

2nd (3) (9/2 +55%) Sandscreendeliverd
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(3) Sandscreendeliverd 9/2, Foaled April 12. Bated Breath gelding. Half-brother to useful French 5f-6.5f winner Mgheera and another winner abroad by Showcasing. Not dismissed. Plenty to like on paper and interesting to see how he figures in market.

8
3rd (8) (5/1 +17%) Mrs Dowley
5
5/1(+17%)
(8) Mrs Dowley 5/1, Foaled March 31. €12,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 10.5f), half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Waarif. Likely to be on the premises. Yard 13% with 2yos here in recent years and market should guide on debut.
4

4th (2) (25/1 -56%) Moby Quick
25
25/1(-56%)
(2) Moby Quick 25/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 8 in novice at Redcar (9f, heavy, 10/1) on debut 14 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Might do better away from testing ground. Trailed home in last of eight on recent Redcar debut (1m1f) and now drops to 6f.
5th

5th (4) (4/1 -20%) Sundiata Keita
4
4/1(-20%)
(4) Sundiata Keita 4/1, Foaled April 3. €15,000 yearling, Sands of Mali colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Kodiac Express and 7f winner Cill Mocheallog. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, sister to smart winner up to 6f Taajub. Worth chancing on debut. Has plenty of speed in pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut.
6th

6th (11) (40/1 +0%) Sarabi
40
40/1(+0%)
(11) Sarabi 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 4 in maiden (33/1) at Catterick (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Hard to make a case for. RPRs in the 30s when beaten around 11l in 5f maidens here and at Catterick last month.
7th
1
7th (1) (6/1 -140%) Beta Reader
6
6/1(-140%)
(1) Beta Reader 6/1, Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 10 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 6/1) 11 days ago. May do better and experience could be put to good use. Showed promise at Southwell 11 days ago and he's open to more progress on this drop to 6f.
8th
12
8th (12) (25/1 +0%) Swizzle
25
25/1(+0%)
(12) Swizzle 25/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden (14/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 11 days ago, missing break. More required. Made low-key start at Chelmsford 11 days ago and needs to leave that form well behind.
9th
7
9th (7) (5/1 +80%) Mercutia
5
5/1(+80%)
(7) Mercutia 5/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, last of 12 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut, slowly away. Off 139 days. Hard to fancy. Reported to have finished lame when last of 12 at Newbury but was an outsider in that race.
10th
5
10th (5) (12/1 +40%) Unfortunate Heir
12
12/1(+40%)
(5) Unfortunate Heir 12/1, Twice-raced colt. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 66/1) 19 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Finished out the back in two runs at Kempton (6f/7f) this autumn, with a best RPR of 40.
11th
10
11th (10) (100/1 -203%) Polk Salad Annie
100
100/1(-203%)
(10) Polk Salad Annie 100/1, Foaled March 5. 7,500 gns yearling, Time Test filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to very smart 8.6f-1¼m winner Kalpana out of useful 9.5f-1½m winner Zero Gravity. Looks a longer-term prospect on pedigree and others are preferred.
12th
6
12th (6) (66/1 -100%) Lady Monroe
66
66/1(-100%)
(6) Lady Monroe 66/1, Foaled April 6. €2,500 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Lady Amanda. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) who stayed 10.5f, sister to useful winner up to 1m Conniption. Not an obvious sort on paper. 2,500euros yearling; yard 2-42 with 2yos in recent years and others look more likely.
17:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BETA READER's inexperience has got the better of him in both starts so far, although last month's improved effort at Southwell indicated he was going the right way. This shorter trip will likely suit and he gets another chance, with Charlie Johnston's yard back among the winners in the past week. Sandscreendeliverd is a half-brother to a Listed sprint winner and could go well if attracting support on his debut, while Naughty Eyes and Sundiata Keita are other newcomers to note in the market.
SUNDIATA KEITA is bred for speed and, if he has enough know-how on debut, he could land what looks a thin race on paper. Naughty Eyes is another newcomer to respect and Beta Reader is the best of those with experience.
The vote goes to BETA READER, who showed promise at Southwell last time and is open to more progress on this drop in trip.
17:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Beauzon 10/3, 5-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 15 runs this year. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip. Four wins in a row over C&D last winter but he's been out of sorts in last eight runs.

3
2nd (3) (11/2 +8%) Outer Edge
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(3) Outer Edge 11/2, Winner at Chepstow in August. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 77 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Could bounce back after a break. 6f winner on penultimate run and he's not ruled out back up in trip on AW debut.
3
5
3rd (5) (12/1 -100%) Gherkin
12
12/1(-100%)
(5) Gherkin 12/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft, 4/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Shaped quite well on penultimate run and step back up in trip/refitting of blinkers should help. 7yo who is not easy to predict and doesn't have a great record on Tapeta; others preferred.
4
2
4th (2) (2/1 -7%) My Genghis
2
2/1(-7%)
(2) My Genghis 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in October. 11/4, respectable second of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 18 days ago. Will take the beating. Two wins (6f/5.3f) this autumn before good second in hat-trick bid here latest; key player.
5th
1
5th (1) (66/1 -65%) Baynoona
66
66/1(-65%)
(1) Baynoona 66/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, heavy, 150/1) 21 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Others are more appealing. Tailed off in all four handicaps and has lots to prove on this return to sprinting.
6th
6
6th (6) (11/1 -47%) Araifjan
11
11/1(-47%)
(6) Araifjan 11/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 5/1) 30 days ago. Others make more appeal. Close second over C&D on penultimate run and has claims if he can recapture that form.
7th
9
7th (9) (40/1 -43%) Balmy Breese
40
40/1(-43%)
(9) Balmy Breese 40/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D. Off 7 months. Rejoined yard after leaving John Mackie. Blinkers back on. 15-race maiden who has been well held in last two runs and latest was in March; opposable.
8th
8
8th (8) (18/1 +45%) Revolucion
18
18/1(+45%)
(8) Revolucion 18/1, C&D winner. One win from 36 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 18 days ago. Only one win from 36 starts and he's been well held on AW in his last four runs (6f/7f).
9th
7
9th (7) (5/1 +29%) Captain Dandy
5
5/1(+29%)
(7) Captain Dandy 5/1, C&D winner. 6/1 and visored for 1st time, sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 21 days ago. Needs to get back on track but on a feasible mark now. Well treated on C&D win in April but he's struggled for current yard and has lots to prove.
17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Beauzon has not been at his best lately but with seven wins over this trip off higher marks, and five of coming them here, he still makes the shortlist in this field. Araifjan has six all-weather wins but disappointed at Chelmsford last month, and it may be best to side with MY GENGHIS. Second here off 2lb lower over 5f when staying on well last month, he steps back up a furlong now which may be all he needs for a fourth career success.
MY GHENGIS has been in top form lately and wasn't seen to best effect (caught wide) when bidding for the hat-trick here last time, so he's fancied to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Gherkin. Captain Dandy is too well handicapped to completely dismiss.
Preference is for MY GENGHIS, who was a good second in his hat-trick bid here last time and still looks on a workable mark.
(7) Global Effort 9/2, C&D winner. One win from 28 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Not ruled out. C&D winner in June; not in great form since but now 7lb lower in first 6f run here since.

2nd (3) (5/2 -25%) Sisters In The Sky
2.5
5/2(-25%)
(3) Sisters In The Sky 5/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in October. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft) 11 days ago, running on. Back up in trip. Makes most appeal. Three wins this year, including C&D; still in form; good claims back on AW.
3
5
3rd (5) (5/1 +75%) Bomb Squad
5
5/1(+75%)
(5) Bomb Squad 5/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Multiple 6f winner, including here; in the wilderness since back in October from a break.
4
8
4th (8) (16/1 +0%) Peachey Carnehan
16
16/1(+0%)
(8) Peachey Carnehan 16/1, 6-time C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at this course (8.6f) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor back on. Not ruled out. Magnificent career with 17 wins, last two over C&D in early 2024; below best of late.
5th
4
5th (4) (11/2 -22%) Spanish Angel
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(4) Spanish Angel 11/2, 4-time course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 9/1) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Shaped well on previous outing and should bounce back. C&D winner; weighted to win again but has run only once over 6f in the last three years.
6th
6
6th (6) (11/1 +0%) Coast
11
11/1(+0%)
(6) Coast 11/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 23 runs this year. Fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 17 days ago. Others are more appealing. Front-running 6f turf win in August; not as good since, including over C&D latest.
7th
2
7th (2) (9/2 +0%) Heartrate
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(2) Heartrate 9/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 68 days ago. Back up in trip. Not ruled out in a weak affair. Two turf wins; tempting on best AW form last winter; needs to improve on most 2024 form.
18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Sisters In The Sky could prove popular here with Rossa Ryan in the saddle following a close-up fourth at Bath last month. He can go well off the same mark, but a chance is taken on GLOBAL EFFORT. Not the most rewarding gelding with one win from 28 starts, that victory was over this C&D off 7lb higher and he is undoubtedly well handicapped at present. Coast is another to take seriously in a race full of out of sorts sprinters.
SISTERS IN THE SKY has been in good order and, in a race that won't take much winning, he makes most appeal. Spanish Lady and Heartrate could also get involved.
Toussarok is respected off his tempting mark, now down in grade, but SISTERS IN THE SKY is still in form and looks the one to beat.
(4) Arazzo 18/1, Good third of 8 in handicap (7/4) at Newcastle (12.5f) 24 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Harry Charlton. Much the least exposed runner in the line-up and should go well. 0-6 for Harry Charlton but ran well in AW event most recently; sold for 8,500gns since.

6
2nd (6) (12/1 +40%) Oriental Art
12
12/1(+40%)
(6) Oriental Art 12/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 22/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Form dipped the last twice; has a poor strike-rate; others preferred.
3
9
3rd (9) (11/8 +21%) Come On John
1.375
11/8(+21%)
(9) Come On John 11/8, Course winner who struck at only the second time of asking for James Owen at Southwell 11 days ago. Readily on top and a 6 lb rise shouldn't stop him. Scored comfortably at Southwell on Halloween (second run for new stable); shortlisted.
4
3
4th (3) (5/1 -11%) Pysanka
5
5/1(-11%)
(3) Pysanka 5/1, Four-time C&D winner, including 3 this year. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 7 to Seraphic here last time, not ideally placed. Good record over C&D includes four wins and podium finishes the last twice; solid.
5th

5th (2) (5/2 +62%) Hill Station
2.5
5/2(+62%)
(2) Hill Station 5/2, C&D winner. 9/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 30 days ago. Back up in trip. 3-3 under Rossa Ryan, most recently winning off this mark over C&D in April; respected.
6th

6th (5) (12/1 -140%) Seraphic
12
12/1(-140%)
(5) Seraphic 12/1, C&D winner in October. 6/1, respectable 5½ lengths fifth of 9 to Come On John in handicap at Southwell (11f) 11 days ago. Recent C&D winner but needs to bounce back from Southwell defeat behind Come On John.
7th

7th (7) (20/1 +9%) Boy George
20
20/1(+9%)
(7) Boy George 20/1, Two turf wins in the summer and there have been excuses for his below-par runs this autumn. Failed to sparkle back on AW last time; still has a much better strike-rate on turf.
8th
8
8th (8) (50/1 -150%) Lhebayeb
50
50/1(-150%)
(8) Lhebayeb 50/1, 11/2, seventh of 11 at Nottingham 18 days ago but was a creditable third at Windsor (11.5f) prior to that. 0-14 on AW but has been placed several times in this sphere and is on a workable mark.
9th
1
9th (1) (100/1 -203%) Cherryhawk
100
100/1(-203%)
(1) Cherryhawk 100/1, Winner at Chepstow in May. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (1½m, heavy, 20/1) 14 days ago. Has failed to repeat the form of Chepstow win in two subsequent runs.
18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
COME ON JOHN was cleverly ridden by Sean D Bowen last time out over a furlong shorter when winning comfortably at Southwell, and if he gets the rub of the green again, then he could follow up despite an added 6lb from the handicapper. Arazzo left Harry Charlton as a six-race maiden but showed more when placed at Newcastle last month and it will be interesting to see how he gets on for new owner/trainer Bernard Llewellyn, while Pysanka brings consistency to the table after four consecutive top-three finishes and he is another to take very seriously.
COME ON JOHN is yet another who has been turned around by James Owen and can defy the handicapper. Low-mileage 3-y-o Arazzo is feared most for new trainer Bernard Llewellyn.
Off his last winning mark and with Rossa Ryan back on board, HILL STATION is preferred. Come On John is feared most.
(5) Dance Time 10/3, 5/1 and cheekpieces on first time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly up in trip. Looks competitive on form. On dangerous mark but she's now 1-11 and has stamina to prove at this new trip.

2nd (1) (9/2 +63%) Two Auld Pals
4.5
9/2(+63%)
(1) Two Auld Pals 9/2, Latest win at Hamilton in May but more miss than hit since. Makes tapeta debut. Disappointing since Hamilton win in May and he's untried on AW; plenty to prove.

3rd (6) (25/1 +24%) Tango Sunset
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Tango Sunset 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1½m) 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Improvement needed. Well held in all five runs so far and has plenty to prove on this big step up in trip.

4th (8) (9/2 -140%) Altanera
4.5
9/2(-140%)
(8) Altanera 9/2, Just second handicap when winning over slightly shorter here last month. A 4 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop her. Unexposed 3yo who won here last time and is open to more progress on this step up to 2m.
5th

5th (4) (9/2 +18%) Grand Duchess Olga
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(4) Grand Duchess Olga 9/2, Latest win at Kempton in June. Creditable second of 7 over C&D 23 days ago. Thereabouts. Triple AW winner who was runner-up over C&D last time; shortlisted.
6th

6th (9) (66/1 +0%) Robeam
66
66/1(+0%)
(9) Robeam 66/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Bath (17., heavy) 21 days ago. 6 lb out of handicap. Tailed off at Bath last month and he's 6lb out of the weights this time; opposable.
7th
3
7th (3) (4/1 -20%) Dark Mystery
4
4/1(-20%)
(3) Dark Mystery 4/1, One win from 22 Flat runs but he can't be knocked for consistency this year, placing at Southwell on his last 2 starts. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Record of 1-23 but he's been placed in three of his last four runs; each-way claims again.
8th
7
8th (7) (66/1 -100%) Zillion
66
66/1(-100%)
(7) Zillion 66/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (17f, heavy, 10/1) 21 days ago. Has dipped to below his last winning mark but others are more obvious. Four-time turf winner but he was tailed off at Bath on recent return and is 0-12 on AW.
9th

9th (2) (9/1 -6%) Greatness Awaits
9
9/1(-6%)
(2) Greatness Awaits 9/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Fontwell (19f, good to soft) 38 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ben Pauling. Cheekpieces back on. New stable in good form. Good record over hurdles since June and he's in the mix back on the Flat for new yard.
19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Breeding suggested ALTANERA would appreciate the step up to 1m6f here and she duly returned a cosy winner. This further test of stamina will likely bring more improvement and the unexposed three-year-old is taken to defy a 4lb rise. Dance Time has placed over 1m4f on the Tapeta and is respected with Rossa Ryan taking over the reins, while Grand Duchess Olga can feature again on the back of finishing second over this course and distance.
ALTANERA stands out as an unexposed type in this line-up and can make light of a 4 lb rise. Dark Mystery and Grand Duchess Olga may provide the main opposition.
This can go to the lightly raced ALTANERA (nap), who won over 1m6f here last month and is open to more progress over this longer trip.
(12) Overnight Oats 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, 13/2) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Has dropped a long way in the weights and wasn't beaten far here last time; not ruled out.

2nd (3) (16/1 -60%) Fitz Perfectly
16
16/1(-60%)
(3) Fitz Perfectly 16/1, Remains a maiden after 18 starts 18/1, first run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when creditable fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 28 days ago. Enters calculations. 0-18 but she was close up over C&D on recent stable debut and is not ruled out.

3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Plumette

4/1(+0%)
(1) Plumette 4/1, Five-time course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Finished well to go close over 7f here last Monday and she's respected back up in trip.

25
25/1(-25%)
(11) Handel 25/1, One win from 40 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford 44 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Had a near miss here in July but he's lost his way again since then and is now 1-40.
5th
5
5th (5) (28/1 -75%) Ciara Storm
28
28/1(-75%)
(5) Ciara Storm 28/1, 80/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 21 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Fair fifth here (9.4f) on recent return but he's now 0-11 and others are more persuasive.
5th
2
5th (2) (40/1 -21%) King Of The Dance
40
40/1(-21%)
(2) King Of The Dance 40/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Bath (1m, soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Was runner-up there prior to that. 5yo who is not easy to predict and his record stands at 1-20; others are more convincing.
7th
7
7th (7) (13/2 -44%) Harlington
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(7) Harlington 13/2, Course winner in September. 5/4, creditable second of 7at Bath (10.2f, heavy) since. Respected. Won here (9.4f) in September before a clear second at Bath last time; respected.
8th

8th (9) (14/1 -17%) Storm Asset

14/1(-17%)
(9) Storm Asset 14/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 25 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip. Dual course winner who has been placed on AW in last two runs; in the mix back in trip.
9th

9th (10) (7/2 +13%) Just Typical
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(10) Just Typical 7/2, Cheekpieces on first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Should remain competitive up 4 lb. Justified favouritism at Newcastle last time and a 4lb rise looks fair; big player again.
10th
8
10th (8) (4/1 +11%) Cut To The Chase
4
4/1(+11%)
(8) Cut To The Chase 4/1, Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 4/1) 53 days ago. Up in trip. Can give a good account. Lightly raced 3yo who has been placed in last three runs and he's a key player here.
11th

11th (6) (33/1 +0%) Van Zant
33
33/1(+0%)
(6) Van Zant 33/1, Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m, 18/1) 16 days ago. Overall strike-rate of 2-33 and he's been well held in both runs this autumn.
12th

12th (4) (66/1 -100%) Mr Slicker
66
66/1(-100%)
(4) Mr Slicker 66/1, AW winner in France but no obvious short-term promise on last month's C&D stable debut after a break. Eight wins in France but he's been out of sorts this year including on recent stable debut.
19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
First-time cheekpieces worked the oracle for JUST TYPICAL when returning the ready winner at Newcastle. Ian Williams' charge had gone close over this course and distance before that and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Plumette is potentially well treated and showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up over 7f here a week ago. Another good account seems likely from her, while Cut To The Chase and Fitz Perfectly are others worthy of consideration.
PLUMETTE has made a positive start to life back with the David Loughnane stable here in recent weeks and can resume winning ways with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. Fitz Perfectly, Cut To The Chase and Harlington head the dangers.
An open race in which recent Newcastle winner JUST TYPICAL gets the vote ahead of another 3yo in Harlington.
(8) Moe's Legacy 6/1, 7/2, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at this course (6f) 17 days ago. First outing over a bare 5f for a while but it may help. Tough and reliable at 6f until below par latest; something to prove in first 5f run on AW.
2
5
2nd (5) (11/4 +50%) Alafdhal
2.75
11/4(+50%)
(5) Alafdhal 11/4, Course winner. Three wins from 22 runs this year. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 4 days ago. Can give a good account. Multiple 6f AW wins; yet to win at 5f on sand but some good efforts of late; thereabouts.

11
3rd (11) (11/1 -120%) Darkened Edge
11
11/1(-120%)
(11) Darkened Edge 11/1, Winner at Bath in August. 7/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Considered. In good form over 5f on turf; form claims if proving as capable in first AW handicap.
4
1
4th (1) (12/1 +40%) Symbol Of Hope
12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Symbol Of Hope 12/1, Latest win at Bath in August. 22/1, tenth of 11 in C&D handicap 28 days ago. Bounce back needed. 0-9 on AW and beat only one home over C&D last time out; better drawn today.
5th

28/1(-40%)
(3) Buraback 28/1, Course winner. Four wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in April. Last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 12 days ago. Four wins in 2024, all in cheekpieces; well treated now but headgear missing again.

12
12/1(-20%)
(6) State Of Madness 12/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Went handicapping off high mark and hasn't been up to the job; slowly dropping in weights.
7th

7th (9) (25/1 -79%) My Delilah
25
25/1(-79%)
(9) My Delilah 25/1, One win from 21 runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in C&D handicap (14/1) 21 days ago. Turf winner in 2023; has C&D form but needs to improve on her recent return to this track.

8th (10) (28/1 +15%) Unavailable

(7) Cooperation 2/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Third of 9 in handicap (10/1) at this course (6f) 65 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Attwater. Interesting runner. All wins at 6f; rare to see him over 5f now but well treated on debut for new yard.

|PU| (4) (8/1 -45%) Pearl Abbey
8
8/1(-45%)
(4) Pearl Abbey 8/1, Course winner. 10/1, respectable fifth of 9 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Won 6f maiden here; minor handicap form since; had wind op; not disgraced over C&D latest.
20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ALAFDHAL was winning off a similar mark here at the start of the year and the six-year-old looks set to get his head back in front based on recent efforts, including a third-placed finish at Chelmsford just four days ago. Darkened Edge has been in the mix since scoring at Bath in August and remains unexposed on the all-weather. She rates a threat, while Cooperation drops in trip with a shout on his first start for Mick Appleby's yard after placing over 6f here in September.
It's worth taking a chance that Mick Appleby has been able to work his magic on COOPERATION. Alafdhal has been knocking on the door lately and is second choice ahead of Darkened Edge.
An open race and a chance is taken with COOPERATION now making his debut for Mick Appleby off a generous mark.

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.
