13:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +38%) Mart	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(6) Mart 5/2, Latest win at Newcastle in November. Creditable third of 11 in nursery (4/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Can give another good account off the same mark. Another solid effort from a wide stall on Polytrack latest; is one of the likelier winners.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +14%) The Liegeman	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) The Liegeman 3/1, Lightly-raced sort who landed 8-runner nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW) 21 days ago, well on top finish. On the upgrade recently so he's very much one to consider despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights. Useful family tends to improve with age; high on the shortlist upped 7lb for 5f win.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 -80%) Relentless Warrior	18 18/1(-80%)	(10) Relentless Warrior 18/1, Gelded and not discredited when sixth of 8 to The Liegeman in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/4) 21 days ago. One to consider on his tapeta debut. 9lb better off with winner The Liegeman; perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 +21%) Vice Captain	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Vice Captain 11/1, Winner at Bath in September but below-form fourth of 8 in nursery at Catterick (5f, soft) since. Off 94 days ahead of his tapeta debut with more needed. On the go early and is fully exposed now (5f-1m); needs more back from three months off.
5th	1 5th (1) (17/2 -143%) Miss Anya	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(1) Miss Anya 17/2, 7/4, very good second of 9 in nursery at this C&D 63 days ago, sticking to task. Needs considering despite a 2 lb rise in her bid for a maiden success. Might have fared better than stall 7 in first-time headgear but should go well again.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +0%) Free As A Bird	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Free As A Bird 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Only fair fifth of 7 in nursery (22/1) at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago. Possibilities. The drop from 6f may help but she'll need a good bit of improvement from a wide stall.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -52%) Wrestling Revenue	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Wrestling Revenue 50/1, Lightly-raced ex-Irish maiden. 50/1 and visored for 1st time, only seventh of 11 in nursery at Navan (5.8f, soft) 83 days ago on his final run for Sean Davis. No forlorn hope now handicapping for his new yard though. Picked up for 3,000gns from Ireland; best to look elsewhere unless there's strong support.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/2 -35%) Graceful Mary	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(4) Graceful Mary 9/2, Built on her debut third to land 12-runner maiden here (6.1f, 10/3) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut and much respected. This is a different test from an ordinary draw down from 6f, but she's open to improvement.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 -32%) Interestnpenalties	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Interestnpenalties 33/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden but only eleventh of 14 in nursery at Dundalk (7f, 20/1) 81 days ago on his final start for Sean Davis. Handily weighted though if back on track for his new handler. Picked up from Ireland in October following five ordinary efforts; market useful.
10th	7 10th (7) (10/1 +29%) It's Showtime	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) It's Showtime 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden who posted a creditable third of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut with more required at these weights. Rare 2yo runner for her yard and hasn't looked the easiest thus far; drops in trip today.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In an open event, a chance can be taken on FREE AS A BIRD, who should appreciate a drop in trip after weakening late on over 6f at Kempton. A 3lb ease in the handicap might underestimate the daughter of Showcasing because she showed ability in novice/maiden company. The Liegeman defeated a subsequent winner at Lingfield three weeks ago so a 7lb rise looks more than fair. Others to note include Miss Anya and It's Showtime.

A tight-knit nursery in which marginal preference is for HOT FRONT who shaped well on her debut for David Evans when a C&D fourth and can now capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Lingfield-scorer The Liegeman arrives on the up and seems sure to be in the mix while C&D second Miss Anya and Tony Carroll's new recruits Wrestling Revenue and Interestnpenalties need factoring in too.

The well-related THE LIEGEMAN can defy a 7lb rise and confirm recent form with Relentless Warrior. Mart is another with claims.

14:25 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/9 +65%) Sports Coach	0.444444 4/9(+65%)	(1) Sports Coach 4/9, 9/4, confirmed debut promise when bagging 10-runner minor event at Newcastle (5f) 18 days ago. May well do better so he's well in the mix despite conceding weight all round. Off the mark in fair style at Newcastle latest and helps set the standard under a penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -33%) Influence	2 2/1(-33%)	(3) Influence 2/1, Promising second of 9 in minor event here (6.1f, 11/1) on debut 17 days ago. This No Nay Never gelding is open to a fair bit of progress and rates a player for last year's winning yard. Pleasing debut here this month; is entitled to improve and his claims are obvious.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -471%) Jenni	20 20/1(-471%)	(6) Jenni 20/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden but tried in blinkers when coming in last of 9 in minor event at Tipperary (5f) 7 months ago. Good form claims if back on song for her new yard. Ex-Irish; market will guide for her new yard having been picked up for 17,000gns in autumn.
4	2 4th (2) (22/1 +33%) Fiddler's Elbow	22 22/1(+33%)	(2) Fiddler's Elbow 22/1, Visored and failed to progress from debut fifth when fourth of 9 over C&D four days ago. Worth another chance. Well held in two recent runs; will likely find life easier once handicapping after today.
5th	4 5th (4) (80/1 -142%) Jazz State	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) Jazz State 80/1, 11/1, last of 9 in minor event at this C&D on debut 10 days ago. Big step forward is required. Needed his debut experience and is better drawn today but will want a big step forward.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Sports Coach was a comfortable winner at Newcastle but while he has to be respected, he might struggle to concede 4lb to INFLUENCE. George Boughey's charge bumped into a useful prospect over 6f here on his debut and natural improvement could make him a tough nut to crack. Jenni, who sets the standard with an official rating of 85, ought to be more than capable of getting involved on her first start for the David O'Meara team.

George Boughey took this prize 12 months ago and looks to have another likely sort in INFLUENCE who shaped well when second on his recent debut here and can go one better with improvement very much on the cards. Karl Burke's Newcastle-scorer Sports Coach rates the obvious threat, although David O'Meara's new recruit Jenni has the form to play a part if fully tuned up after a seven-month absence.

This likely boils down to Newcastle winner Sports Coach and INFLUENCE, with the latter preferred in receipt of 4lb.

14:25 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (7/2 +60%) Van Zant	3.5 7/2(+60%)	(9) Van Zant 7/2, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Wasted no time getting back to form when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 16/1) 11 days ago. Needs to build on that here. Ran well over C&D in October; holds each-way claims but he's 0-19 now.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 -122%) Reve De Magritte	18 18/1(-122%)	(5) Reve De Magritte 18/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Wasn't disgraced having taken a wider route than most when sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 13 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong. Some costly defeats since coming over from France; can pull and is running out of excuses.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 -18%) Brave Display	7.5 15/2(-18%)	(3) Brave Display 15/2, C&D winner. Again not seen to best effect when fourth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at this course (8.6f) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains of plenty interest. Stays a bit further; likely to need a strong pace and some luck if dropped in as usual.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Sea The Buckthorn	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Sea The Buckthorn 9/1, 10/1, made the frame but was still some way below form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 6 days ago, never nearer. Not one to have much faith in. Better back at this trip latest considering he stumbled at the stalls but others stronger.
5th	12 5th (12) (22/1 -10%) Ebury	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) Ebury 22/1, Forty-seven runs since last win in 2019. Failed to build on a more promising effort when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 17/2) 19 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time, blinkers back on. Capable at this level but often pulls and there are risks in a new headgear combination.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 -45%) Sisters In The Sky	3.5 7/2(-45%)	(4) Sisters In The Sky 7/2, 9/2, plummeted in the weights and turned in best effort since joining current yard when second of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago. Has to be taken seriously down another 2 lb. More like it here last week (third gone in since) and is 2lb lower; rightly be popular.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/4 +39%) Voltaic	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(1) Voltaic 11/4, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1) 11 days ago, best work late on. Will be suited by a return to this trip so he's one to look out for. Running well over 6f lately; is in form and well handicapped, so has to enter calculations.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/1 -120%) Written Broadcast	9 9/1(-120%)	(2) Written Broadcast 9/1, Dual C&D winner earlier this year. 10/3, shaped as if still in reasonable form when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D just over 3 weeks ago, hampered on more than once occasion. Enters calculations. Often misses the break and will always need luck but has claims if things fall his way.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -25%) Dodgy Bob	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Dodgy Bob 25/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year, latest at Thirsk in September. Ran respectably when fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this course (6.1f) just over 6 weeks ago. Others more persuasive for win purposes. Recent wins have come at massive prices; still capable of popping up when least expected.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -614%) Three Dons	50 50/1(-614%)	(10) Three Dons 50/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Again ran poorly when sixth of 7 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 7/1) when last seen 9 months ago. Easily opposable. First run since March; hard to recommend from stall 11; yard also responsible for Voltaic.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -100%) Gracious Grace	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Gracious Grace 40/1, 28/1, ran as well as could have been expected when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 9 weeks ago, slowly away. Plenty to find. Better on Tapeta debut latest despite blowing the start; that gave something to build on.
12th	7 12th (7) (80/1 -220%) Canimar	80 80/1(-220%)	(7) Canimar 80/1, 28/1, ridden too aggressively on only outing for Dominic Ffrench Davis after 11 months when ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) in April 2022. Off 20 months. Back with former trainer and can only be watched given the absence. Only been seen once in well over two years and is entitled to need this at her age.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SISTERS IN THE SKY went close to exploiting a sliding handicap mark when filling the runner-up spot here last week and, eased a further 2lb in the ratings, he is fancied to go one better. Van Zant continues to run well in defeat and he's unlikely to be far away, while Dodgy Bob and Written Broadcast are just two others to consider.

SISTERS IN THE SKY turned in his best effort since joining Grace Harris when finishing runner-up up over 6f here last week, and with the third that day winning at Southwell on Friday, he gets the nod from a career-low mark. Voltaic should be suited by a return to this trip so he can give the selection most to think about, with Brave Display and Written Broadcast taken to fight out third.

Sisters In The Sky is shortlisted but the vote goes to VOLTAIC, who's always liked it here and will be happier back up in trip.

15:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +0%) Outreach	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Outreach 4/1, Goes well at this track, finishing runner-up on last 2 outings around here. Can make presence felt once more. 0-12 but he's finished 2nd on his last two runs at this track; capable of another good run.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 +0%) Rebel Redemption	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Rebel Redemption 8/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time when fifth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at this course (6.1f) 16 days ago. Needs more. Stays this far but all wins at 6f; better drawn today than has been the case of late.
3	12 3rd (12) (18/1 +28%) Say Grace	18 18/1(+28%)	(12) Say Grace 18/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 80/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 4 days ago. Others have achieved more. Conditions no problem but she's been struggling for form in 2023.
4	1 4th (1) (7/2 +64%) Swiss Rowe	3.5 7/2(+64%)	(1) Swiss Rowe 7/2, C&D winner. Below best last 2 outings, but fourth at this track in October gives him a good chance in this company. C&D winner; patchy record since a Kempton win in March; no headgear today.
5th	11 5th (11) (10/1 -67%) Brother Dave	10 10/1(-67%)	(11) Brother Dave 10/1, Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 11 days ago, running on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Patchy overall record but latest effort did hint at better; still has low mileage; chance.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -108%) La Jolie Fille	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) La Jolie Fille 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs plenty of improvement. Modest form in four novice runs but brings potential to this h'cap debut; betting to guide.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -400%) Beau Geste	80 80/1(-400%)	(10) Beau Geste 80/1, Course winner. 125/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 1m winner in January but he was a well-beaten 125-1 shot back from a break 19 days ago.
8th	6 8th (6) (4/1 +33%) Time Patrol	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Time Patrol 4/1, Winner at Windsor in September. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago, running on. One of the least exposed and should be involved. Sprung a 100-1 surprise at Windsor on handicap debut; still has time to do better over 7f.
9th	2 9th (2) (7/1 -75%) Pop Favorite	7 7/1(-75%)	(2) Pop Favorite 7/1, 3 wins from 21 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in October. Really consistent since and should be in the mix again. All wins over 1m but he's run creditably over this trip the last twice; each-way claims.
10th	3 10th (3) (18/1 +10%) Hawajes	18 18/1(+10%)	(3) Hawajes 18/1, Hard to fancy on form to date but is tumbling down the weights and tongue strap goes on today. Struggling since handicapping; down in weights & tongue-tie added but tricky draw today.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 -43%) Peachey Carnehan	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Peachey Carnehan 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 10/1) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. Conditions to suit and still appeals as being in form; draw could have been kinder.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TIME PATROL made the frame over this distance at Kempton earlier in the month and his mark remains unchanged. The three-year-old also competes in the same grade and could be the one to beat. The main threat might be Outreach, who filled the runner-up spot over C&D last time and now has George Bass claiming 3lb off the same rating. Hawajes is worth a second look in a first-time tongue-tie.

A chance is taken that SWISS ROWE will bounce back returned to this track and he can prove too good for the unexposed Time Patrol and the consistent Pop Favorite. .

Rebel Redemption can go well from the front but BROTHER DAVE hinted at better when meeting trouble at Southwell last time.

16:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -100%) Intervention	7 7/1(-100%)	(4) Intervention 7/1, Ended losing run under a sound tactical ride over C&D in November and thrived subsequently, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps at 7/6f since. Assessor applies further pressure but hard to rule out in bid to land 4-timer. Impressive when completing a hat-trick at Lingfield 13 days ago; up just 4lb; big player.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 +35%) Follow Your Heart	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(6) Follow Your Heart 13/2, Won first 3 starts this year (at this C&D on first 2 occasions) and gained reward for his consistency when adding to his tally in 9-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago. Likeable sort but more on his plate now upped in class. Three of this year's four wins have come over C&D; up in class and needs a career best.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 +0%) Lord Of The Lodge	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Lord Of The Lodge 14/1, Regained winning thread at Southwell (7f) in January and made frame on 2 of next 4 starts on AW. Subsequent efforts not so inspiring, albeit shaping as if needing the run on back of 4 months off when 11¼ lengths last of 7 to Mount Athos in handicap at Kempton (7f) in November. Smart on AW on his day but quiet when well behind Mount Athos at Kempton last month.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +0%) Misty Grey	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Misty Grey 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 31 days ago, weakening final 100 yds. Cheekpieces may sharpen him up here. Won this race in 2020 and 2021; retains ability and unlikely to be far away; headgear now.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/5 +51%) Mount Athos	0.8 4/5(+51%)	(1) Mount Athos 4/5, Form looked to have plateaued earlier in the season but back on track having been gelded, successful at Kempton (7f) prior to a good short-head second in listed race at Deauville (7.4f) 23 days ago. Should go well again despite career-high mark. Fine record on AW; pipped at the post in French Listed event latest; major player.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -371%) Soar Above	66 66/1(-371%)	(8) Soar Above 66/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago, headed final 50 yds but keeping on. However, lot more on his plate back up in class from 4 lb out of the weights. Back to form at Kempton 13 days ago but up the weights and more to prove at this track.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -100%) Mitrosonfire	18 18/1(-100%)	(5) Mitrosonfire 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 3 lengths fourth of 7 to Intervention in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 15/2) 20 days ago. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more. Yet to win in 2023 (often run well) and has 3l to find with Intervention on latest run.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -178%) Dickieburd	25 25/1(-178%)	(7) Dickieburd 25/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 12/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago, having run of race. A little more needed from 2 lb out of the weights on first try at 7f. Two sprint wins this year; has been front-running of late; stamina for 7f is a query.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Intervention continued his cracking form by proving his versatility to go in over 6f at Lingfield and while in this sort of form, he will be hard to keep out of the finish off a 4lb higher mark. However, marginal preference is for MOUNT ATHOS, who had Lord Of The Lodge well beaten when successful at Kempton and followed that up with a second at Listed level in France. The top-weight steps back into handicap company and looks the one to beat. Soar Above completes the shortlist.

MOUNT ATHOS has got firmly back on track having been gelded, successful over this trip at Kempton prior to a solid second in a French listed contest 23 days ago. He can concede weight all round and come out on top. Intervention is thriving and can't be discounted in his bid to land the 4-timer. First-time cheekpieces may put an extra edge on Misty Grey who is steadily easing in the weights.

Intervention is thriving but MOUNT ATHOS has a fine record on AW and he can take another step up the ladder and defy top weight.

16:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9.5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +50%) King's Code	3 3/1(+50%)	(6) King's Code 3/1, Hit the ground running for this yard making it 3 wins from first 4 starts over 8.6f here in October. Excuses on turf at Newmarket next time but quickly back on track, second behind one firmly on the up at Chelmsford (10f) 19 days ago. Likely he'll be thereabouts. Three wins for current yard and latest second was a career best; should go well once again.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 -11%) Civil Law	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(2) Civil Law 10/3, 4-time C&D winner (including this race 12 months ago). Strong in betting, posted a career-best display when adding to his tally with plenty to spare here 31 days ago and no surprise to see him firmly in the mix once more. Only 1lb higher than for last year's win in this race; decisive win here last month; solid.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +38%) Felix	4 4/1(+38%)	(1) Felix 4/1, Seventeen runs since last win over C&D in 2021. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago, the run of the race not suiting. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and drop in grade a plus. Not quite the force of old and opposable despite this drop into Class 3 company.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -10%) Pearl Eye	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Pearl Eye 11/1, Course winner. 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Present mark demands that little bit more. Has had a fine year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for now.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -250%) Jilly Cooper	28 28/1(-250%)	(7) Jilly Cooper 28/1, Course winner who ran best race for a while when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 7/2) 31 days ago, challenging final 100 yds and keeping on. Has since switched yards but her slow starting means she's come with risks attached. Two course wins for former yard; stamina not assured but looks worth a crack at new trip.
6th	8 6th (8) (40/1 -60%) Law Supreme	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Law Supreme 40/1, 100/1, first run since leaving A. & G. Botti/16 months off, shaped as if better for the run when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) on UK debut 19 days ago. Eased 4 lb since and this should reveal more. Ex-French; 100-1 and never threatened on this month's stable debut; enough to prove.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -60%) Sonnerie Power	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Sonnerie Power 16/1, Ended time with Roger Varian with success at Kempton (12f) in October but shade disappointing when coming home last of 10 on yard debut here (14f) 33 days ago, albeit the steady gallop not helping. Significantly down in trip now. Two wins over 1m4f for R Varian; too free when well beaten on stable debut (1m6f); risky.
8th	4 8th (4) (5/2 -33%) Light Speed	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(4) Light Speed 5/2, Promising type who continued theme of race-by-race progress when completing hat-trick on handicap debut at Lingfield (10f) 3 weeks ago, again displaying a likeable attitude. Highly likely there's more to come on the back of just 4 career starts. Big shout. Landed hat-trick with front-running Lingfield win (1m2f); doubt he's reached his ceiling.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9.5f Race Class Flow

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

LIGHT SPEED is unbeaten in his last three starts, including when striking by just over two lengths on his handicap debut at Lingfield last time. The son of Mehmas was put up 7lb for that success, which is unlikely to prevent him from going in again, especially given the likelihood of more to come. King's Code had to settle for second when sent off favourite at Chelmsford but can go well off the same rating, while last-time-out C&D winner Civil Law is another to note.

LIGHT SPEED's theme of race-by-race progress continued as he brought up the hat-trick at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and, with the likelihood of more to come, he can make another bold bid on the front end. Civil Law landed this race 12 months ago and looked as good as ever when successful over C&D recently so he's feared. Felix and King's Code complete the shortlist.

Light Speed will rightly be popular but CIVIL LAW (nap) can win this race for the second year in succession.

17:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (10/3 +26%) Have You A Minute	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(11) Have You A Minute 10/3, 5/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 19 days ago. Repeat of that run would see him in the mix. The odd promising run but he'll need them to go quick if he's to win dropped to this trip.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 +55%) Gypsy Whisper	9 9/1(+55%)	(10) Gypsy Whisper 9/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form 8½ lengths seventh of 12 to Distinction in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 8 days ago, slowly away. Forced extremely wide on the home turn here last week; earlier course runs give her claims.
3	9 3rd (9) (25/1 +0%) Storm Valley	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Storm Valley 25/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 13/2) 77 days ago, better placed than most. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Failed to progress for Andrew Balding and opposable after her 2,000gns sale.
4	7 4th (7) (7/2 -60%) Distinction	3.5 7/2(-60%)	(7) Distinction 7/2, Two wins from 45 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D (15/2) 8 days ago by 4¾ lengths from Casa Luna, forging clear. Obvious claims if in the same form under a penalty. Ran away with a C&D handicap last week; should be well treated under penalty; contender.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +25%) Calcutta Dream	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Calcutta Dream 6/1, Visored for first time, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/2). Off 106 days and interesting to see whether the money comes again. Three-time AW winner; too free when well backed last time; better can be expected today.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +20%) Prince Hector	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Prince Hector 8/1, Off the mark at the twenty-first attempt in 12-runner handicap (40/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, digging deep. That attitude will stand him in good stead and he's on the shortlist. Narrowly beat a subsequent winner over C&D 16 days ago; should remain competitive.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +38%) Dark Company	25 25/1(+38%)	(5) Dark Company 25/1, Untrustworthy individual. 28/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Disappointing for current stable but he's down in the weights and is likely to revive soon.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +0%) Egoiste	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Egoiste 12/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in September. 7/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 40 days ago. That was disappointing but he can bounce back. Won a dreadful race, albeit comfortably, at Chelmsford in September; 8th latest; opposable.
9th	1 9th (1) (17/2 +29%) Moon Over The Sea	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(1) Moon Over The Sea 17/2, Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Tenth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at this course (12.2f) 21 days ago. Down in trip/grade. Three wins (1m to 1m4f) for new yard this year; quiet of late but this race is easier.
10th	12 10th (12) (13/2 +7%) Casa Luna	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(12) Casa Luna 13/2, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Respectable 4¾ lengths second of 12 to Distinction in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 8 days ago, no match for winner. Blinkers on first time. Exposed maiden but she's finished second in 3 of her last 6 runs; now tried in blinkers.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DISTINCTION was an impressive winner over C&D last week and is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Aeroplane Mode has made the frame on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Prince Hector is another recent track-and-trip winner who has to be of interest.

AEROPLANE MODE would have finished closer than third with a clear run at Lingfield a fortnight ago and that performance suggests he's ready to strike. Distinction is wisely turned out under a 5 lb penalty having routed the opposition over C&D last week and he has to be feared, along with Have You A Minute.

Calcutta Dream remains of interest on AW but AEROPLANE MODE has been threatening to make the breakthrough in recent starts.

17:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/2 +38%) Amazing	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(7) Amazing 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden and off 6 months since posting a very good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm). Goes up in trip and well worth considering in a first-time hood. Unexposed filly; runner-up in a 1m2f h'cap when last seen in June; new trip/headgear.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -50%) Glory Nights	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Glory Nights 12/1, Course winner in October. Only eleventh of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (11f) 48 days ago though so needs to bounce back. Two fine runs over 9.5f here in October; well beaten at Kempton latest; stamina a query.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +56%) Western Stars	2 2/1(+56%)	(3) Western Stars 2/1, Gained his third win in 2m handicap at Lingfield (AW) 6 days ago before posting a good second at Southwell four days ago. Expected to be bang there once again off the same mark. In good form at 2m; having third quick run but he has to enter the reckoning.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +20%) Percy Willis	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Percy Willis 8/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks competitive on form off a 2 lb lower mark here. C&D winner; not at best last time but capable if this sets up more favourably.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 -29%) Suffrajet	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Suffrajet 9/2, Off 10 months before resuming winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. That form has been franked so she merits serious consideration despite taking a 2 lb rise. Lightly raced 4yo whose recent Kempton win has been franked; still capable of better.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -213%) Sea Of Charm	25 25/1(-213%)	(9) Sea Of Charm 25/1, 28/1 and visored for 1st time, ended a long losing run in 10-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Can give another good account off a 3 lb higher mark with the headgear again sported. New visor helped when winning over C&D 3 weeks ago; more needed back up 3lb.
7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 +13%) Sea Of Elegance	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Sea Of Elegance 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1) 111 days ago. Significantly up in trip for her tapeta debut with something to find on form. Ran okay on handicap debut; below par last time but this trip could spark extra from her.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -108%) Silver Nightfall	25 25/1(-108%)	(6) Silver Nightfall 25/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year, latest at Kempton in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip with more required. Kempton winner (1m4f) in August but she needs to bounce back from two lacklustre efforts.
9th	1 9th (1) (22/1 -83%) Daheer	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Daheer 22/1, Fvie-time course winner but he came in last of 8 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Thirteen runs since his last win in 2022, too. Five wins over 9.5f here; drops in class today but others preferred at this trip.
10th	12 10th (12) (66/1 -450%) Peripeteia	66 66/1(-450%)	(12) Peripeteia 66/1, C&D winner in October but she found her run of good form halted when ninth of 11 in handicap here (14f) 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Lacklustre run here last time but in good form beforehand; upped in class today.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 -471%) Stray Bullet	80 80/1(-471%)	(8) Stray Bullet 80/1, A fair ex-French 9f winner in May but pulled up for his new yard in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow 47 days ago. Still much respected back in this sphere on his handicap debut. Progressive on the Flat in France; little aptitude for hurdling for new yard; opposable.
12th	10 12th (10) (80/1 -142%) Swift Tuttle	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Swift Tuttle 80/1, In winning form over hurdles but only eighth of 9 in handicap here (14f) 31 days ago. Can make his presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Hurdle winner in September; well short of his best here on last two Flat runs.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

AMAZING put in a career best when second over 1m2f on the Lingfield turf back in June and she merits the utmost respect on her return to action, especially with the benefit of a first-time hood. Recent C&D winner Sea Of Charm has to be of interest but can be unpredictable, while Western Stars and Suffrajet are others with strong form claims.

Plenty are in with a shout. SUFFRAJET made light of an absence when going in at Kempton and with that form working out well then Charlie Johnston's low-mileage daughter of Golden Horn is fancied to strike again. Western Stars arrives at the top of his game and is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for C&D winner Percy Willis and the returning Amazing.

Western Stars has to be high on the list but SUFFRAJET kept on well to win at Kempton and can defy a small rise in the weights.

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.
