15:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (13/2 -86%) Tortured Soul	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(8) Tortured Soul 13/2, C&D winner. 5 wins from 14 runs this year. 8/1, confirmed return to form when second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Back down to a mark he should be scoring from soon enough so shortlisted. Productive last winter/spring; ran encouragingly the last twice; warrants respect.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +11%) Charlie's Choice	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Charlie's Choice 2/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 15/8) 11 days ago, kept up to work. Rarely runs a bad race so remains firmly of interest after 5 lb rise. In good form; back on career-high mark but Taryn Langley takes off 7lb; shortlisted.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +20%) Raintown	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Raintown 8/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in September. Rare below-par effort when last of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) just under 6 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Has gained most wins at Lingfield; disappointing favourite there last time.
4	5 4th (5) (2/1 +69%) At Vimeiro	2 2/1(+69%)	(5) At Vimeiro 2/1, 11/4, wasn't disgraced after 4 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Still looking for a first success. Has rather unconvincing handicap form but may fare better off this reduced mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/3 +67%) Sax Appeal	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(3) Sax Appeal 10/3, C&D winner. Didn't give his running when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, 9/2) 37 days ago, folding having disputed lead until 4f out. Must bounce back. None too consistent but is favourably treated; won off 1lb higher over C&D in February.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 +11%) Unplugged	25 25/1(+11%)	(6) Unplugged 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Never threatened back up in trip after 8 weeks off when seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 50/1) 16 days ago. Has dropped back to his last winning mark but may prove vulnerable to younger legs. May prove resurgent back at this level, having shown best form in Class 5.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -50%) Graze On Phoenix	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Graze On Phoenix 18/1, Winner at Carlisle in August. 10/1, ran respectably after 4 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 3 weeks ago. Should come on from that here. Switched to handicaps the last twice, winning at Carlisle then fourth at Newcastle.
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 -40%) Arazzo	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Arazzo 14/1, C&D winner on stable debut in November. Not in same form 10 days later when ninth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW), the race possibly coming too soon. Can get back on track after a break. Scored over C&D on penultimate start (stable debut); possibilities back here.

15:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CHARLIE'S CHOICE resumed winning ways when scoring with plenty left in the tank at Southwell. His apprentice rider's 7lb claims negates a 5lb rise and David Simcock's inmate could prove difficult to stop. Graze On Phoenix ran out of steam in the closing stages at Newcastle on his reappearance, but should prove competitive with that run under his belt, while C&D winner Tortured Soul's recent second at Kempton suggests he could have a say in the outcome.

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CHARLIE'S CHOICE, who notched his third success of the year at Southwell recently and David Simcock's 4-y-o remains firmly of interest on the back of a 5 lb rise. Heading up the dangers is Tortured Soul, who confirmed his return to form when runner-up at Kempton earlier this month, with Graze On Phoenix and Arazzo taken to fight out third.

Preference is for TORTURED SOUL, who appears to be working his way back to winning form. Charlie's Choice is next best.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/3 +72%) Grabajabba	0.333333 1/3(+72%)	(1) Grabajabba 1/3, Much sharper second time up when winning 9-runner novice (17/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago, making running and keeping on well. Can make a bold bid to follow up. Dictated steady fractions when winning at Southwell (7f) ten days ago; more needed here.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 +58%) Bear Rock	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(5) Bear Rock 10/3, Upped further in trip, progressed again when second of 10 in novice (66/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Most experienced in the line-up and she can give another good account. Improved with each start and finished in front of two of these when 2nd over C&D last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 +0%) Expert Elsa	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Expert Elsa 20/1, Never involved on debut when ninth of 11 in maiden (18/1) at this C&D in June. Needs to have learnt plenty from that first experience. Green when a never-dangerous ninth over C&D in June; improvement a must.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 +15%) Rebel Cove	28 28/1(+15%)	(4) Rebel Cove 28/1, Shaped as if possibly needing the run when seventh of 10 in novice (12/1) at this C&D on debut 3 weeks ago, weakening approaching home turn. Needs to take a big step forward. Behind two of today's rivals when beaten a long way over C&D three weeks ago.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 +86%) Spartan Times	14 14/1(+86%)	(3) Spartan Times 14/1, Offered little in 2 maidens in April, well-beaten sixteenth of 17 at Newbury (8f, good, 250/1) on second outing. Off 8 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Sophie Leech. Two heavy defeats for Sophie Leech in April; best watched on stable debut.

16:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GRABAJABBA showed a big improvement from his debut fourth here when making every yard over this trip at Southwell. Mick Appleby's charge is penalised for that success, but is clearly going in the right direction and could prove hard to peg back if allowed his own way in front once again. Bear Rock finished in front of the selection when runner-up over this course and distance on her latest start and looks likely to pose the biggest threat, while Expert Elsa may prove best of the remainder.

GRABAJABBA was much improved from debut when getting off the mark at Southwell 10 days ago, showing a good attitude, and he can continue his progress to score again. Waiting For Love also opened her account at the second attempt and is respected if taking up this engagement aftera run on Sunday, while Bear Rock has also been going the right way.

Bear Rock beat GRABAJABBA here three weeks ago but the selection won well ten days ago and can reverse the placings.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +72%) Studious	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(3) Studious 9/2, Showed promise on second of 3 starts in maiden/novice company at up to 7f earlier this year. Off 6 months/gelded and this longer trip ought to be in range judged on pedigree now his attentions switch to handicaps. Interesting if the market spoke in his favour. May improve now handicapping and upped in distance.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 -33%) Mr Ubiquitous	6 6/1(-33%)	(8) Mr Ubiquitous 6/1, Justified strong support to make a winning nursery debut at Kempton (1m) in October. Did a fair bit wrong in follow-up bid when fifth of 7 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago but no great surprise to see him get back on the up. Won at Kempton on handicap debut; disappointing at Southwell since.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 -6%) Queen Himiko	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(4) Queen Himiko 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 11 in maiden (5/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut. More needed. Placed in a couple of C&D contests since switched to AW; solid chance.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 -15%) Tiempo Alegre	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(5) Tiempo Alegre 15/2, Winner at Southwell (7f) in December. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 12 to Flaine in nursery back at that venue (8.1f, 4/1) 10 days ago, coming from further back than ideal. Fancied to be thereabouts again. Ran well behind Flaine and Mrbluesky at Southwell last time; in the mix.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +13%) Naturally	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Naturally 14/1, Study Of Man filly who failed to improve when last of 5 on nursery debut at Kempton (1m) 6 weeks ago, folding tamely having dictated until over 1f out. Drops in class now and it remains early days at least. Very easy to back and finished last of five at Kempton most recently.
6th	11 6th (11) (22/1 -57%) Eva's Eyes	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Eva's Eyes 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10¼ lengths ninth of 11 to Hashtagnotions in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 17/2) 24 days ago. Has work to do. Behind a couple of these rivals the last twice.
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 -21%) Keep Singing	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Keep Singing 40/1, Maiden who ran poorly when ninth of 11 in nursery at this course (9.5f, 18/1) 28 days ago, dropping away over 1f out. Likely vulnerable to a few again. Good efforts in September; not in the same form since.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 -257%) Hashtagnotions	25 25/1(-257%)	(9) Hashtagnotions 25/1, Mehmas gelding who improved for the fitting of a first-time visor when winning 11-runner nursery (7/1) at Newcastle (8f) 24 days ago. This tougher from 3 lb higher mark but further progress not ruled out. Took well to visor at Newcastle most recently; may improve further.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 -64%) Mrbluesky	9 9/1(-64%)	(6) Mrbluesky 9/1, 7/2, good neck second of 12 to Flaine in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's another holding definite claims. Best effort last time, splitting Flaine and Tiempo Alegre at Southwell.
10th	7 10th (7) (10/1 -54%) Flaine	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Flaine 10/1, Made a winning debut for this yard at Southwell (7f) in November and having made the frame next 3 starts, she duly resumed winning ways when landing 12-runner nursery back at Southwell 10 days ago, by neck from Mrbluesky. In the mix again up 4 lb. 2-2 at Southwell, beating Mrbluesky and Tiempo Alegre latest occasion.
11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -122%) Good Call	40 40/1(-122%)	(12) Good Call 40/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in nursery (15/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Blinkers reached for now but she's had plenty of chances from her basement mark already. Chance of winning depends on how well she responds to blinkers.
12th	1 12th (1) (9/4 +75%) Antelope	2.25 9/4(+75%)	(1) Antelope 9/4, Much improved when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D in October. Not in same form when seventh of 11 in nursery at this course (7.2f) later that month but gelded thereafter and no surprise to see him back to form here. Solid second over C&D on penultimate start; good chance on that effort.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Flaine came out best at Southwell in a duel to the line with Mrbluesky and that pair are hard to separate. The latter's stablemate Hashtagnotions opened his account when fitted with visor at Newcastle and he should have more to offer, but QUEEN HIMIKO may edge affairs. Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly has improved with every start and is potentially well treated on her handicap debut having finished a creditable third in maiden company over this C&D last time.

MR UBIQUITOUS didn't help himself by racing freely when fifth at Southwell 3 weeks ago but he'd previously looked one to keep firmly on side when successful on nursery debut at Kempton in October and he's given another chance to get back on the up. Antelope, on the back of a gelding operation, Tiempo Alegre and Hashtagnotions head up the dangers.

Most appealing are the two runners who have good C&D form, namely ANTELOPE (narrowly preferred) and Queen Himiko.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (6/1 +57%) Secret Mistral	6 6/1(+57%)	(7) Secret Mistral 6/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (5f) 17 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. In better form than her figures suggest; could take some pegging back from a good draw.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +72%) Smooth Silesie	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(2) Smooth Silesie 10/3, 5 wins from 25 runs this year. 18/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. Enters calculations once more. 5 wins in 2024; has run well in defeat since the latest; better drawn today than latest.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 +17%) Nelson Gay	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(11) Nelson Gay 10/3, C&D winner. Finished well when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, conceding first run. Has good chance on form. Winless this year but happiest at Wolverhampton and went close over C&D 16 days ago.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +46%) Gogo Yubari	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(4) Gogo Yubari 13/2, C&D winner. 5 wins from 15 runs this year. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) 17 days ago so needs to bounce back. Pleasing 3rd over C&D latest after break; not see out 6f since; better expected.
5th	9 5th (9) (6/1 -100%) Popular Dream	6 6/1(-100%)	(9) Popular Dream 6/1, Winner at Southwell in December. 5/4, respectable second of 12 in handicap there (5f) 11 days ago, no match for winner. Can make presence felt. Running well of late but not sure he has much in hand off his current mark.
6th	10 6th (10) (15/2 -88%) Beauzon	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(10) Beauzon 15/2, 7-time course winner, latest here in November. 6/1, good short-head second of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago. A likely player once more. Six 6f wins here this year; near miss a fortnight ago; others stronger at 5f.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 +50%) Call Time	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) Call Time 10/1, Winner at Bath in October. 15/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Yet to win a handicap but today's return to 5f should be in his favour.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +20%) Lady Nunthorpe	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Lady Nunthorpe 16/1, Winner at Southwell in October. Last of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (5f) 37 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive. Southwell win in October was decisive but she blotted her copybook at the start last time.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MUMAYAZ benefited from returning to the minimum distance when second here last Saturday and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal running off the same mark. Lady Nunthorpe lost all chance at the start on her latest effort at Newcastle and is better judged on her victory at Southwell the time before. Others for the shortlist include Popular Dream and Nelson Gay.

Lots with chances. BEAUZON is always to be feared round here and went down only narrowly at the track last time out so edges the vote from the handily-weighted C&D scorer Nelson Gay who also came in runner-up here on his most recent start. Mumayaz and Smooth Silesie also need factoring in along with Popular Dream.

Nelson Gay should go well but SECRET MISTRAL (nap) has landed a better draw than on her last visit here and she can capitalise.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/4 +42%) Rogue Thunder	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(4) Rogue Thunder 7/4, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. In the mix once more. Better efforts the last twice and a repeat of his recent C&D 3rd would see him bang there.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 +22%) Red Walls	14 14/1(+22%)	(8) Red Walls 14/1, 4-time course winner. Only sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 25/1) 39 days ago so needs to take a step forward. Encouraging return to action here (5f) last month; tricky draw but capable at this level.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 0%) Laura's Breeze	6 6/1(0%)	(2) Laura's Breeze 6/1, Course winner who was ridden with more restraint than of late when a good third of 11 in handicap here (7.2f) 14 days ago. Merits serious consideration eased 1 lb. Both wins have come at 7f but effective at this trip; drawn widest but on a fair mark.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 +68%) Back Tomorrow	9 9/1(+68%)	(12) Back Tomorrow 9/1, 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 62 days ago. Others appeal more. Well treated on last winter's AW form but she's generally struggled for current stable.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 +36%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(5) Tilsworth Ony Ta 9/2, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1) 16 days ago. Can give another good account. On a handy mark and latest Southwell fourth was better; more appealing than many.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 -85%) Banana	12 12/1(-85%)	(11) Banana 12/1, Remains a maiden after 39 runs but she posted a very good third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 8 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Ran well at Lingfield eight days ago but she's a 39-race maiden who remains opposable.
7th	10 7th (10) (18/1 -80%) Peachey Carnehan	18 18/1(-80%)	(10) Peachey Carnehan 18/1, 6-time C&D winner. Got back on track when fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 49 days ago so possibilities. Multiple winner, including twice over C&D this year; fair 4th latest; each-way squeak.
8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 +65%) Hallie Angel	7 7/1(+65%)	(9) Hallie Angel 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice (200/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm). Off 6 months ahead of her handicap debut with lots more required. Poor form over 7f but bred to be useful and the switch to low-grade 6f handicaps may help.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 -25%) Rajwaan	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Rajwaan 20/1, 14/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with work to do. Yet to shine for this yard after a long absence; tumbled down weights and now tongue tied.
10th	3 10th (3) (22/1 -57%) Crocus Time	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Crocus Time 22/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and handily weighted if they spark a resurgence. Exposed maiden but down in weights, yard in form and now tried in headgear; not ruled out.
11th	1 11th (1) (33/1 -32%) Jumira Bridge	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Jumira Bridge 33/1, 3-time C&D winner. 50/1, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed. Conditions to suit but showed little at Southwell on his return from a nine-month break.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROGUE THUNDER has dropped to a very fair mark and ran his best race for a while when third over C&D earlier in the month. This doesn't look a particularly strong event on paper and it may provide him the opportunity to gain a second career success. Neptune Legend has to enter the reckoning after his third at Lingfield, while Tilsworth Ony Ta's latest run at Southwell gives him every chance of being in the mix.

Course scorer LAURA'S BREEZE signalled she is ready to strike again when a recent third here so is fancied to capitalise on an easing mark. Resurgent Rogue Thunder heads the list of dangers, although a case can also be made for Neptune Legend, Crocus Time and Banana in this tightly-knit sprint.

Neptune Legend is feared with headgear back on but ROGUE THUNDER looked ready to strike when keeping on for third here last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/8 +59%) Autumn Angel	1.625 13/8(+59%)	(6) Autumn Angel 13/8, Good ¾-length second of 12 to Mashaan in handicap (13/2) at this course (7.2f) 4 days ago. Now meets that rival on 5 lb better terms, so she has every chance of reversing those placings this time. On a dangerous mark and found only Mashaan too strong here last week (7f); contender.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +57%) Bernie The Bear	3 3/1(+57%)	(8) Bernie The Bear 3/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 10 days ago, worst of draw. Place possibilities. Solid effort from a wide stall here ten days ago; more appealing than many.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +17%) Mashaan	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(4) Mashaan 11/4, Won 12-runner handicap (16/1) at this course (7.2f) 4 days ago by ¾ length from Autumn Angel. Has to be high on the shortlist under a penalty. Overcame wide draw to win over 7f here on Thursday; 0-14 at 6f but still makes appeal.
4	11 4th (11) (28/1 -75%) Tantomile	28 28/1(-75%)	(11) Tantomile 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Redcar (7f, good). Off 7 months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Minor form in five starts but return to 6f looks a good move; betting to guide after break.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 -100%) Sacred Melody	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Sacred Melody 50/1, 40/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Hood back on and she needs to find improvement from somewhere. Modest form for new yard; needs return to 6f and refitted hood to give her a lift.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 +29%) Frightening	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Frightening 10/1, Good sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 20/1) 11 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Didn't run badly dropped to 6f at Chelmsford 11 days ago but others are more persuasive.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +33%) Socialise	12 12/1(+33%)	(9) Socialise 12/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 10 days ago. Others preferred. Hasn't built on a promising stable debut in two starts since; not a solid option.
8th	10 8th (10) (40/1 -21%) Badosa	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Badosa 40/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 10 days ago and she's readily passed over. Recent efforts haven't suggested a return to form was imminent.
9th	5 9th (5) (33/1 -560%) Savalas	33 33/1(-560%)	(5) Savalas 33/1, Won 11-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 45 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and this 9-y-o has to enter calculations. C&D win last month; will need luck from his draw but he's capable at this level.
10th	3 10th (3) (80/1 -21%) Devilwala	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Devilwala 80/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Tim Easterby when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 100/1) 11 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. 100-1 and finished a remote last of ten at Southwell on his stable debut 11 days ago.
11th	12 11th (12) (25/1 -150%) Captain Dandy	25 25/1(-150%)	(12) Captain Dandy 25/1, C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap back here (5/1) 49 days ago, slowly away. Looks up against it. Struggled for current stable and looks vulnerable from a wide stall.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MASHAAN returned to winning ways over 7f here on Boxing Day when building on a solid fourth at Lingfield just four days prior and Alice Haynes' gelding looks capable of backing those efforts up, despite a 5lb penalty. Autumn Angel was only beaten three-quarters of a length by the selection that day and is likely to offer a strong challenge again on better terms, while Savalas and Bernie The Bear appeal most of the remainder.

AUTUMN ANGEL went down fighting when beaten ¾-length by Mashaan over 7f here on Boxing Day and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue, the scales may well tilt in her favour this time, given that she meets the winner on 5 lb better terms. Savalas was successful over C&D on his latest start and he is third choice ahead of another C&D scorer in Bernie The Bear.

Mashaan should go well despite the shorter trip but this could be the day things finally fall into place for BERNIE THE BEAR.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +63%) Coachello	3 3/1(+63%)	(1) Coachello 3/1, 17/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 78 days ago. Boasts a healthy strike rate on AW (4-10) and he is appealing having slipped to a potentially handy mark. Struggled in some hot turf handicaps for this yard in 2024; dangerous mark back on AW.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -40%) Blind Beggar	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Blind Beggar 14/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 33/1) 12 days ago and he's likely to find a few too good once more. Ran okay over 6f last time and well drawn but he would be of greater interest at 5f.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/10 +63%) Dyrholaey	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(3) Dyrholaey 11/10, Lightly-raced winner. 3 wins from 4 runs this year. 11/1, twenty-first of 28 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) when last seen in June (gelded since). Back up in trip and merits serious consideration back on the AW. 3-3 on AW; absent since finishing down the field at Royal Ascot; been gelded; unexposed.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 -8%) Crimson Sand	7 7/1(-8%)	(6) Crimson Sand 7/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (12/1) 28 days ago. This is tougher up 3 lb but he should make his presence felt. Won two of his last four starts, including C&D latest; not discounted up 3lb.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 -17%) Airman	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Airman 7/1, 40/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and he's not without each-way hope. Pleasing return from five months off at Southwell three weeks ago; return to 6f can help.
6th	10 6th (10) (18/1 -200%) Filly One	18 18/1(-200%)	(10) Filly One 18/1, Twice-raced winner. 6/4, won 7-runner novice at Newcastle (6f) last December. Absent since but she's unbeaten and unexposed, and makes her handicap debut off what looks a fair mark. The market should be a guide in terms of expectations here. Won a pair of 6f novice races at Newcastle in late 2023; tougher test on belated return.
7th	12 7th (12) (25/1 -79%) Be Frank	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Be Frank 25/1, 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip and again looks vulnerable. 5f inadequate latest and he's on a dangerous mark; eligible for weaker races though.
8th	5 8th (5) (50/1 -52%) Zero Carbon	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Zero Carbon 50/1, Course winner. Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. 33/1, first run since leaving Richard Hughes when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago. Looks up against it. Best at Kempton and he made a low-key stable debut 16 days ago; drawn wide; opposable.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 +15%) Mister Bluebird	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Mister Bluebird 28/1, Latest win at Bath in October. 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. No more than an each-way squeak. Well short of his best in recent starts and this looks a warm race in which to bounce back.
10th	11 10th (11) (125/1 -89%) Shahbaz	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Shahbaz 125/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (125/1) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Looks set for another struggle. Yard also represented by Be Frank. Unsighted in two runs for new yard; little to suggests he's a sprinter.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Rated 109 at his peak when trained in Ireland, COACHELLO appears handily weighted from a mark of 92 and may be up to giving weight and a beating to the rest. The winner of four of his 10 previous starts on synthetics, the Mark Loughnane-trained six-year-old has nothing to fear from reverting to Tapeta and is a notable contender for a winter all-weather campaign. The recently-gelded Dyrholaey and Airman are forwarded as the pick of the three-year-olds.

COACHELLO is of strong interest returned to the all-weather on an appealing mark and he shades preference ahead of Dyrholaey, who has been absent since finishing down the field in a Royal Ascot handicap in June but he was 3-3 (all on the all-weather) prior to that and probably remains with potential. It will be interesting to see how Filly One, who was unbeaten in two starts as a juvenile, gets on now handicapping following a 12-month absence.

Dyrholaey is an unknown quantity but the well-handicapped COACHELLO could be the answer now back on AW.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Latest effort doesn't suggest he's crying out for this new trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/2 +15%) Etretat	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(7) Etretat 11/2, C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. Warrants respect. Largely consistent this year; ran creditably in higher grade last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +22%) Port Erin	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) Port Erin 7/2, Built on promise of previous run when taking 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 13/2) 25 days ago. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards. Gradually back to form since joining new stable; can't be ruled out.
4	10 4th (10) (6/1 +70%) Golspie	6 6/1(+70%)	(10) Golspie 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 14/1) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-12 since debut win; others are more appealing.

6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 -180%) Lunarscape	14 14/1(-180%)	(6) Lunarscape 14/1, Arrives in good heart, winning 2 of her last 3 starts, most recently when narrowly taking 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) in September. Likely contender. Absent since Lingfield win in September; has never won when fresh.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -264%) Harbour Vision	20 20/1(-264%)	(1) Harbour Vision 20/1, Four-time C&D winner who arrives chasing a course hat-trick after a pair of 7f wins last month, latest in 10-runner handicap by 2¼ lengths from Port Erin. Another bold show likely in his current mood. Veteran who is bidding for a Wolverhampton hat-trick (8-53 here overall).
8th	3 8th (3) (5/1 +17%) Ciotog	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Ciotog 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in October. 5/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago, running on. Not out of things. Showed he's still in good form with second-place finish over C&D last time.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -13%) She's Centimental	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) She's Centimental 18/1, Course winner. 22/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 16 days ago, nearest finish.

10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 -29%) Outrace	11 11/1(-29%)	(11) Outrace 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 15/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, having run of race. Each-way claims. Respectable form in C&D events since wearing cheekpieces; sound claims.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

This is an intriguing clash between several in-form rivals. The hat-tick seeking Harbour Vision and Port Erin, who were first and second in that order over 7f here in November, are closely matched. The latter subsequently won over 1m at Chelmsford and may be able to reverse the form over this longer trip. However, the well-handicapped LUNARSCAPE, who gamely won a similar event at Lingfield most recently, could be the answer. Freshened up by a break, this seems well within the versatile filly's reach despite a 3lb rise. Ciotog and Outrace are also feared.

Preference is for PORT ERIN, who pulled clear with a previous winner when scoring at Chelmsford earlier this month and remains nicely treated. The hat-trick chasing Harbour Vision is feared most, whilst Lunarscape should also go well.

The suggestion is attractively treated SHE'S CENTIMENTAL, ahead of solid-lookiing contenders Outrace and Ciotog.

Needs a couple of these to falter. Has regressed recently but looks interesting back at 9.5f, being 1-1 over C&D.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/8 +35%) Royal Observatory	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(2) Royal Observatory 13/8, Belatedly off the mark when narrowly taking 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. Got up in the final strides at Chelmsford this month; may build on that win.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +60%) Major Major	2 2/1(+60%)	(3) Major Major 2/1, Dropping down the weights and arrives on back of creditable third of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (11f) 12 days ago. Likely contender. Two encouraging efforts since wearing blinkers; possibilities off current mark.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Some of these have been struggling to find their form and with that in mind, ROYAL OBSERVATORY may have been found a good opportunity to take another step forward after getting off the mark with a determined effort over 1m2f at Chelmsford 18 days ago. A 3lb rise isn't too restrictive at this level and another bold showing is expected with Jack Mitchell taking over in the saddle. Major Major and Vecchio are others with solid form claims, while Lhebayeb is also feared from a handy mark.

ROYAL OBSERVATORY took advantage of a drop in the handicap when opening his account at Chelmsford earlier this month and still looks feasibly treated. He may be able to score again in the finale. Major Major and Bloodhound are also of interest.

Dropped back in distance off an attractive mark in the retained blinkers, MAJOR MAJOR may be the answer. Lhebayeb is second choice.

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.
