2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 +0%) It's Not Risky	22 22/1(+0%)	(7) It's Not Risky 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in nursery at Newmarket (9f, heavy) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. 0-4 in turf races; switch to AW is a possible source of improvement.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/2 -8%) Rocket Warrior	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(2) Rocket Warrior 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Bath in September. Creditable sixth of 11 in nursery at this course (8.6f, 5/2) 6 days ago. Gives the impression this extra yardage will suit; half-brother to a 9.5f winner.
4	9 4th (9) (13/2 +7%) Palazzo Persico	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(9) Palazzo Persico 13/2, Career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (10f, 3/1) 12 days ago by ½ length from Go Your Own Way. Can give another good account. Has a largely solid record since handicapping; may build on Chelmsford win.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/3 +11%) Dr Hackenbush	3.333333 10/3(+11%)	(3) Dr Hackenbush 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in novice (22/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. Hood on 1st time.

7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 -33%) Go Your Own Way	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Go Your Own Way 12/1, Winner at Bath in September. 9/2, creditable ½-length second of 7 to Palazzo Persico in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. 2 lb better off with winner here but did have a dream run up the rail that day. Comparatively exposed but he's in good form and could go well again.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ALFRED returned to winning ways at Newcastle on Sunday when justifying favouritism in good style and the step up in trip on this occasion may bring about further improvement, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Dr Hackenbush sports a hood for the first time on his nursery debut which is likely to help him progress, while Palazzo Persico (first) and Go Your Own Way (second) were closely matched at Chelmsford earlier this month and the pair are capable of being in the mix again.

ALFRED gained a second career success in good style starting out for this yard at Newcastle 4 days ago and looks capable of defying a penalty. Palazzo Persico and Go Your Own Way finished 1-2 at Chelmsford 12 days ago and rate the main threats.

Preference is for ROCKET WARRIOR, who remains open to further progress. Dr Hackenbush is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 -13%) Habrdi	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Habrdi 9/2, Put experience to good use when winning 7-runner minor event at Brighton (6f, heavy, 16/5) 35 days ago, sticking to task. Merits consideration switched to tapeta on his handicap bow. Game effort to win a 6f novice at Brighton last month; needs even more for the 7th furlong.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 +50%) Gaiden	7 7/1(+50%)	(1) Gaiden 7/1, Promise when placed on her first 2 starts but below that level since, sixteenth of 22 in sales race at York (6f, good to firm, 16/1) in August. Others more persuasive as she makes tapeta debut after a break. Thrown in on early season form; wheels have come off since but down in class & up in trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +71%) Sala Da Ballo	2 2/1(+71%)	(2) Sala Da Ballo 2/1, Off the mark at Pontefract in September, but failed to repeat that effort when fifth of 15 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to soft, 9/2) 38 days ago. Needs to resume his progress as he makes tapeta/handicap debut. Impressed at Pontefract in September but less good last time & opening mark looks tough.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 +0%) Loaded Gun	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Loaded Gun 10/1, Opened account at Chester in July. However, not in the same form both outings the following month, ninth of 10 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/1) last time. Off 3 months (gelded) ahead of his first run on tapeta. 5f novice winner at Chester in July; well held in two nurseries since; gelded; up in trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/2 +38%) South Kensington	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(6) South Kensington 5/2, Making her nursery debut, improved again when second of 9 in nursery (4/1) at this C&D 9 days ago, edged out close home. Can be thereabouts once more. Behind Elegant Appeal at Newcastle before a near miss over C&D last week; 3lb well in.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 -129%) Professor Tickle	16 16/1(-129%)	(7) Professor Tickle 16/1, Finished in the places again when second of 12 in nursery (5/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Drawn widest, but he can give another good account with cheekpieces back on. Running well in nurseries of late but up in the weights and needs a career best.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -175%) Elegant Appeal	11 11/1(-175%)	(4) Elegant Appeal 11/1, Switched to all-weather and in first-time cheekpieces, left first 2 efforts behind when winning 7-runner minor event (18/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 34 days ago. Leading claims with more to come as she goes handicapping. Big step forward at Newcastle last month when she still looked to be learning her craft.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SOUTH KENSINGTON went close to shedding the maiden tag when beaten a nose over C&D on her latest start and the daughter of Blue Point, who is 3lb well-in on this occasion, has been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Gaiden is entitled to be competitive with her sights now lowered, while Sala Da Ballo and Elegant Appeal can fight it out for the minor honours.

Switched to all-weather and fitted with cheekpieces, ELEGANT APPEAL proved a different proposition when scoring at Newcastle last month and she can follow up on her handicap debut. South Kensington finished third behind Karl Burke's filly at Newcastle and is respected having improved further on her latest outing, with Habrdi also considered.

South Kensington is 3lb well in but ELEGANT APPEAL (nap) beat her easily at Newcastle and can do so again.

8th	2 8th (2) (66/1 -136%) Magic Rascal	66 66/1(-136%)	(2) Magic Rascal 66/1, 75,000 gns yearling, Zoustar colt.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PITNEY sets the standard based on his two starts to date, hitting the frame at both Lingfield and Chelmsford, and the son of Mehmas wouldn't need to improve on those efforts to get his head in front here. Sunny Street finished fourth on his first start at Kempton and he is likely to enter the reckoning along with Leveret, who may benefit from stepping up in trip, and newcomer Venerate.

LEVERET should be suited by this extra 1f and is preferred to Pitney and Lady Pagasa, who have also achieved a similar level of form.

This open-looking novice event may go to SUNNY STREET who should build on his Kempton debut effort. bZipster\p is second choice.

3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 +30%) Alreet Cha	28 28/1(+30%)	(2) Alreet Cha 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 at Newcastle (7.1f, 20/1) 9 days ago, shaping much better than the distance beaten suggests, late headway under hands and heels. Can do better, probably plenty so when handicapping. Has failed to land a blow in both outings.

Seventh of 12 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) on debut 10 days ago. Lot more needed. Hinted at ability over C&D last week but others have stronger claims.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROSA APPLAUSE fared best of those held up off the pace at Newcastle on her racecourse bow three weeks ago and natural progression might be enough to see the daughter of Blue Point come home in front today. Disclosure finished a creditable fourth at the Gosforth Park venue on her first start and looks another potential improver. See You Tonight is related to some useful types and is worth a market check ahead of her debut, though the application of headgear must raise slight concerns.

ROSA APPLAUSE made a bright start for her in-form yard at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and is sure to go close if building on that as expected. Newcomer See You Tonight is very interesting, while Disclosure is also a big player after a promising debut.

In form terms, the very similar types ROSA APPLAUSE (narrowly preferred) and Disclosure tower above the others with experience.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +14%) Havana Ball	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Havana Ball 3/1, £100,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Proved very easy to back but showed plenty of ability when finishing fourth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 3 weeks ago, displaying plenty of speed. Claims with improvement expected. Close fourth in 6f AW maiden at Newcastle three weeks ago; leading form contender.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +27%) Mrs Morrell	2 2/1(+27%)	(6) Mrs Morrell 2/1, Promising sort. 20/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on debut 21 days ago, effort out wide under 2f out and not knocked about. Well-bred filly who looks sure to improve for that experience and she's shortlisted from handy draw. Gosden filly who ties in closely with Havana Ball on Newcastle running; interesting.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/5 +36%) Moonfire	1.2 6/5(+36%)	(5) Moonfire 6/5, Foaled March 12. Blue Point filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f-9f winner Dream Castle and winner up to 1¼m With The Moonlight. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Very much one to note on debut for powerful stable. Blue Point half-sister to two G1 winners; powerful stable; respected debutante.
4	3 4th (3) (50/1 -100%) Easy Company	50 50/1(-100%)	(3) Easy Company 50/1, Foaled March 5. Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Aspen Mountain and 6f-7f winner Crystal Dawn. Dam, 6f winner, closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Marsh Hawk. Market should prove useful on debut. Ten Sovereigns half-sister to two winners; check the betting.
5th	2 5th (2) (150/1 -355%) Body Parts	150 150/1(-355%)	(2) Body Parts 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 50/1) on debut 13 days ago. Up in trip now but she looks one for handicaps later on. Never landed a blow in 5f event at Newcastle; may do better upped in trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (250/1 -150%) Nassau Bay	250 250/1(-150%)	(7) Nassau Bay 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in maiden (150/1) at this course (7.2f) 30 days ago, weakening entering final 1f. Can only be watched. Well down the field in both starts.
7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 -56%) Reine Des Coeurs	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Reine Des Coeurs 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Offered something to work on when fifth of 12 in maiden at this course (7.2f, 16/1) on debut 9 days ago. Feasible to think she can build on that here but others make more appeal for win purposes. Faded into fifth over 7f here last week; open to improvement dropped in trip.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 +28%) Stars Away	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Stars Away 18/1, Appeals on paper and promising start to career when third of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut in October. Subsequently changed hands for 34,000 gns and likely she can progress. Close third at Southwell on sole run for Andrew Balding; sold 34,000gns since.
9th	1 9th (1) (200/1 -150%) Angel Of Gold	200 200/1(-150%)	(1) Angel Of Gold 200/1, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to 5f winner A Pint of Bear. Proved easy to back and ultimately finished well held when eighth of 9 in novice event at Southwell (7f) in September. Best watched on the back of that. Achieved nothing over 7f at Southwell but this shorter trip may help.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 -213%) Passamezzo	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Passamezzo 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 13 days ago, no extra final 100 yds having impressed with how she travelled. Should have more to offer. Signs of ability in 6f AW contest at Newcastle; may improve.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Just a length separated Havana Ball (fourth) and Mrs Morrell (fifth) at Newcastle three weeks ago and both must be of interest today, along with Stars Away, who hit the frame on her racecourse debut last month. However, preference is for newcomer MOONFIRE. Charlie Appleby's charge is a half-sister to two Group/Grade 1 winners so it would come as no surprise were she to be useful herself, and a low draw ought to aid her chance. Reine Des Coeurs is also noted.

MOONFIRE makes plenty of appeal on paper for a leading yard no stranger to success with their debutantes and she could be worth siding with to make a winning start from a handy inside draw. Mrs Morrell was one place behind Havana Ball when they met at Newcastle recently but may be open to the greater improvement, and that pair head up the dangers.

Havana Ball and Mrs Morrell help to set the form standard but the vote goes to well-bred newcomer MOONFIRE.

8th	1 8th (1) (66/1 -136%) Inuit	66 66/1(-136%)	(1) Inuit 66/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 18/1) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Chance if rediscovering old form. Unlikely to defy top weight, having failed to figure at Kempton on debut for new yard.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -88%) Barenboim	16 16/1(-88%)	(4) Barenboim 16/1, Only fifth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Progressive last winter; encouraging return to action two weeks ago; possibilities.
10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 -144%) Sonnerie Power	11 11/1(-144%)	(11) Sonnerie Power 11/1, Career best when cosily winning 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Kempton (12f) 36 days ago on final run for Roger Varian. Up 5 lb but he merits serious consideration now stepping up in trip. Won at Kempton last month on final run for Roger Varian; has joined shrewd new connections.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest for the feature, in which only a tentative vote can go to RHYTHMIC INTENT. Stuart Williams' charge has been running to a consistent level on the turf in recent starts, but he is completely unexposed on the all-weather and could take advantage of a gradually declining mark. Sonnerie Power was on target for the Roger Varian team last month and he merits respect, despite being raised 5lb, now in the care of Michael Appleby. Prydwen and Capital Theory are also noted.

A few with chances but SONNERIE POWER ended his time with Roger Varian when a stylish Kempton scorer and can defy a 5 lb weights rise with this longer trip also a likely plus for this son of Almanzor. Nolton Cross has slipped to a good mark and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Haydock last time so rates the main danger ahead of Chillingham and Zealandia.

Returned to AW, NOLTON CROSS holds very strong claims. Chillingham is feared most ahead of Sonnerie Power.

2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +21%) Musical Mystery	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(3) Musical Mystery 11/4, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 13/8, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago, kept up to work. Strong claims again. 3-4 for current yard and all those wins have been on AW; respected back in trip.
3	9 3rd (9) (20/1 +20%) A Pint Of Bear	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) A Pint Of Bear 20/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. Has work to do. 5yo who is not easy to predict and has a record of 1-15 in handicaps; down the list.
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 +71%) Beauty Choice	4 4/1(+71%)	(6) Beauty Choice 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in October. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Has fallen to a workable mark. Well held last twice but he's not handicapped out of things if he can get back on track.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 -20%) Thaki	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Thaki 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in August. 40/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely to remain competitive. Went close at Newcastle last week and is a big player if he can repeat that form.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 -25%) Caesars Pearl	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Caesars Pearl 50/1, Winner at Pontefract in June. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 28 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Won at Pontefract in June but she's been disappointing since; others preferred.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -13%) Absolutelyflawless	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Absolutelyflawless 18/1, C&D winner. 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. On dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but she needs to rediscover her spark.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +14%) Kitaab	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Kitaab 12/1, 11/2, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft), slowly away. Off 156 days. Makes tapeta debut. Tongue strap back on. 0-9 but he was placed over 6f on penultimate run and is not ruled out back in trip.
9th	1 9th (1) (3/1 -20%) Ecclesiastical	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Ecclesiastical 3/1, 4 wins from 17 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (3/1) at this C&D 17 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Cooperation, comfortably. Worth a chance to follow up. Won over C&D latest and he was as good as ever with that clearcut success; big player.
10th	10 10th (10) (20/1 +0%) Mccauley's Tavern	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Mccauley's Tavern 20/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm). Off 133 days. Makes tapeta debut. Worth a market check. Has had wind op but he's still a maiden after 13 runs and this looks tough from wide draw.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -12%) Moai	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Moai 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft, 4/1), doing too much too soon. Off 125 days. Down in trip. Has struggled for current yard and has plenty to prove on this drop to 6f.
12th	4 12th (4) (16/1 -60%) Cooperation	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Cooperation 16/1, Back on track when 2¼ lengths second of 12 to Ecclesiastical in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Unexposed for current yard and should be on the premises again. Perked up with a second behind Ecclesiastical over C&D last time; dangerous off same mark.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Ecclesiastical (winner) and Cooperation (second) are closely matched based on their encounter over this course and distance 17 days ago but with a 6lb pull at the weights, the latter might be able to turn the form around if he can overcome a wide draw. However, MUSICAL MYSTERY has done little but nothing since joining Ed Dunlop's stable and, having backed up last month's C&D success with a win over 7f at Chelmsford 16 days ago, a 3lb higher mark might not be enough to put a stop to his winning spree.

ECCLESIASTICAL and Musical Mystery both produced career-best efforts to score last time but the former had a bit more in hand, so he takes marginal preference in a competitive race for the grade. Thaki is also worthy of respect.

This is a tight call between Ecclesiastical and MUSICAL MYSTERY, but the latter gets the vote in his hat-trick bid.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (13/8 +41%) Clearpoint	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(2) Clearpoint 13/8, Latest win at Kempton in October. 8/1, poorly drawn when eighth of 12 in handicap there (6f) 15 days ago. Can give a good account. Overcame wide draw last month but couldn't repeat it latest; feasibly treated back at 5f.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -33%) Lord Riddiford	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Lord Riddiford 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 25/1) 13 days ago. Leading player. Impressive at Goodwood in the summer; solid 3rd at Newcastle last time; in the mix again.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 +46%) One Night Stand	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(7) One Night Stand 13/2, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago, despite being left poorly placed. This is tougher. Down to a dangerous mark but he needs to raise his game and he's eligible for weaker races.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +8%) Ancient Times	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Ancient Times 6/1, Ran well when close third at Chester in June but hasn't been in same form last 2 outings. Off 92 days. Tongue strap back on. Down to interesting mark if able to bounce back. Extremely well treated if the return of the tongue-tie piques his interest.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -33%) Dynamic Force	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Dynamic Force 12/1, Won 3 times for yard prior to a spell in the UAE. Little show in recent 2 outings back on these shores and has bit to prove at present. Struggled in Bahrain over the winter; yet to sparkle in two runs back with this yard.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -33%) Nelson Gay	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Nelson Gay 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. 4/1, below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Respected on return to Wolverhampton. Two Tapeta wins for Michael Dods this year but in Class 5 company; others appeal more.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -125%) Never Dark	9 9/1(-125%)	(4) Never Dark 9/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. 9/1, last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 2-2 over C&D; in good form this summer and returns to AW on a handy mark; considered.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Lord Riddiford is showing no signs of losing his enthusiasm and can go well again if he doesn't fluff the start, while Never Dark is a previous C&D winner and cannot be ruled out in a field of this size. However, DYNAMIC FORCE is still of low mileage and, having been cut some slack by the handicapper since he returned to these shores after a spell in Bahrain, he rates as the most appealing option from 8lb below his last winning mark (turf). Nelson Gay also enters calculations.

LORD RIDDIFORD makes most appeal in a contest where the majority have at least something to prove, John Quinn's grey having posted a solid effort on his return to AW at Newcastle earlier in the month. Clearpoint wasn't seen to best effect when attempting to follow up his Kempton win last time, so isn't discounted, whilst Nelson Gay has to bounce back from a couple of underwhelming efforts but scored over C&D in September.

Ancient Times is of interest with the tongue-tie back on but NEVER DARK is preferred in his bid to make it 3-3 over C&D

1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +42%) Bohemian Breeze	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(7) Bohemian Breeze 7/2, Latest win at Kempton in October. Seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) back at that venue (12f) 22 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Mark demands that little bit more. Won two of his last four starts; can bounce back from a modest run at Kempton latest.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Way Of Life	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Way Of Life 7/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, challenging over 1f out and keeping on. Entitled to go well again from same mark. Not won this year but string of good efforts, including C&D; should be bang there again.
3	2 3rd (2) (40/1 -100%) Sun Tracker	40 40/1(-100%)	(2) Sun Tracker 40/1, Well-related sort who landed 6-runner French maiden (12.9f) last summer and best effort yet when fourth of 8 in minor event at Le Lion-d'Angers (11.4f) in August of last year. Changed hands for 62,000 gns/gelded after and market should prove useful on handicap debut. 1m5f winner in France last summer; sold 62,000gns last August; market to guide.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +50%) Sid's Annie	10 10/1(+50%)	(5) Sid's Annie 10/1, Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year at Newmarket (12f) in August. Recent efforts not all that inspiring, beaten a long way even allowing for the strength of opposition back at that venue in October. Four wins this year & neither trip nor track are an issue; perhaps too high in the weights.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 -14%) Sanction	4 4/1(-14%)	(8) Sanction 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in September. 15/8, fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 43 days ago, dropping away approaching final 1f. Better showing anticipated dropped back in trip on AW debut. Failed in hat-trick bid latest but returning to 1m4f can help; needs serious consideration.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 -57%) Noble Anthem	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Noble Anthem 11/2, Dual winner as a 3-y-o who has made a positive start for new yard, runner-up over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f) prior to a good third back on the level at Newcastle (12.5f) last week. On a handy mark if he can build on that here. Close third off this mark at Newcastle last week; dangerous with a repeat.
7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 -9%) Abu Royal	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Abu Royal 12/1, Confirmed previous promise when opening account at the third attempt in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May. Shade underwhelming in 2 handicap starts thereafter and since switched yards for 23,000 gns in July. Longer trip here may help. 1m winner for Charlie Johnston; sold 23,000gns in July; stamina to prove on stable debut.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/2 +36%) Daheer	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Daheer 9/2, 5-time course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago. Should give another good account. Five wins over 9.5f here; just about stays 1m4f but others appeal more for win purposes.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SANCTION appeals at the weights and, with the return to this trip very much in her favour, the Edward Bethell-trained filly looks open to further progression. Way Of Life is more wily than some and, having been placed over this C&D the last twice, rates as another strong candidate despite the burden of top-weight. Noble Anthem has shown promise in both starts for his current yard and is also notable off 6lb lower than his last winning mark (turf).

NOBLE ANTHEM hasn't always been one to hold it together but he confirmed the positives of his yard debut over hurdles with a good third in this sphere at Newcastle last week and he could just be worth siding with to confirm himself on a handy mark. 3-y-o filly Sanction back down in trip on AW debut is another high on the shortlist, with Daheer and Way of Life also expected to be in the mix.

Sanction is feared back in distance but WAY OF LIFE has been threatening around here and he can give the weight away.

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.
