1st (3) Pickanumber (Evens +50%)
Pickanumber

Evens(+50%)
(3) Pickanumber Evens, Showed improved form in 3 starts over hurdles last summer, taking another step forward when runner-up in maiden at Wexford (16.7f, soft) in August. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Peter Croke. Respected.
Ex-Irish; best hurdles effort when 2nd last time; quite interesting on stable debut.
2
2nd (4) Speed Davis (6/4 +14%)
Speed Davis

6/4(+14%)
(4) Speed Davis 6/4, Half-brother to 5 winners and was successful on his sole outing in Irish points. After 9 months off, left his bumper debut form behind with an easy success at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) in January. Major player as he goes hurdling.
£105,000 buy after Irish point win; bumper winner last time; contender on hurdles debut.

3rd (7) Rioja Alta (14/1 -17%)
Rioja Alta

14/1(-17%)
(7) Rioja Alta 14/1, Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland, stays 1½m. Made the frame on his last 4 starts, despite not being seen to best effect when fourth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) in October. Switches to hurdles on first run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell.
Ex-Irish; 26,000gns buy after showing fair form on the Flat; should come on for this.
4
4th (5) Rhiannon Ring (80/1 -400%)
Rhiannon Ring

80/1(-400%)
(5) Rhiannon Ring 80/1, From a good jumping family and she finished runner-up on her only start in Irish points. Well beaten in bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy) on her first start under Rules last month, but she should do better at some stage as she makes her hurdles debut.
Second in Irish point; well beaten in a bumper on stable debut; more needed now hurdling.
5th
5th (1) Bowler Jack (66/1 -32%)
Bowler Jack

66/1(-32%)
(1) Bowler Jack 66/1, Well held in bumpers and little impact in 2 starts over hurdles, always behind when seventh of 10 in novice at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 37 days ago. Looks one for further down the line.
Ordinary efforts in two bumpers and in two races over hurdles; improvement needed.
6th
6th (6) Mr Le Philosophe (9/1 -200%)
Mr Le Philosophe

9/1(-200%)
(6) Mr Le Philosophe 9/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 1½m), winning 2 handicaps in 2023. After 4 months off, shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 7 in juvenile maiden at this C&D (soft) on his stable/hurdles debut 10 days ago. Entitled to do better.
Quite useful on the Flat in France; promising C&D run on hurdles debut; one with a chance.
7th
7th (2) Dixie Cowboy (25/1 -25%)
Dixie Cowboy

25/1(-25%)
(2) Dixie Cowboy 25/1, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fair winning chaser Unit Sixtyfour (stays 2½m) and fair 2½m hurdle winner Shanacoole. Dam winning pointer. Maiden Irish pointer, but he made the frame on his latest outing in October. Watch for market clues.
Fair efforts in five maiden points in Ireland; hurdles/stable debut; others stronger.

Rosenpur

12/1(+25%)
(8) Rosenpur 12/1, Runner-up both starts on the Flat in Germany in 2023. After 7 months off, shaped encouragingly on first outing since leaving Peter Schiergen when sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago, needing stiffer test. One to consider on his hurdles bow.
Ex-German; fair on the Flat including on stable debut; may be best watched on jumps debut.

13:30 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SPEED DAVIS finished full of running when he landed a bumper at Sedgefield last month and ought to have plenty more to offer now there are obstacles to negotiate. A half-brother to a handful of winner over jumps, the six-year-old was successful in a point-to-point before joining Donald McCain's yard and he is the logical choice here. Pickanumber sets the standard based on his form in Ireland and is respected on debut for new connections. Mr Le Philosophe completes the shortlist.

Well bred and a winning pointer, SPEED DAVIS was much improved from his Rules debut when scoring easily in a bumper at Sedgefield a month ago, so he looks one to note as he goes over hurdles. He can get the better of Pickanumber, who isn't taken lightly on his first start for Olly Murphy, with Mr Le Philosophe completing the shortlist.

Having shown plenty of promise on his hurdles debut here MR LE PHILOSOPHE is taken to get off the mark by beating Speed Davis.

1st (6) Harper Valley (11/4 +39%)
Harper Valley

11/4(+39%)
(6) Harper Valley 11/4, Got off the mark in Hexham novice in May before following up in Sedgefield handicap on his return in November. Posted a good third back at Sedgefield last time, so he can give another good account.
Not quite at best when a beaten favourite at Sedgefield latest; still each-way player..

2nd (1) Hajey (4/1 -14%)
Hajey

4/1(-14%)
(1) Hajey 4/1, Progressive sort who landed C&D handicap before a very good second there off a 4 lb higher mark last time. Can go well again despite having a career-high mark to overcome.
In good form over C&D recently; up another 5lb; likely to need another career best to win..

3rd (4) Golfe Clair (8/1 -23%)
Golfe Clair

8/1(-23%)
(4) Golfe Clair 8/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler in 2021/22. Off 22 months and yet to hit top form this term, fading fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 14/1) 19 days ago. Needs to build on it.
Latest effort was a step back in the right direction and a revival would not surprise..
4
4th (5) Singapore Trip (9/2 +10%)
Singapore Trip

9/2(+10%)
(5) Singapore Trip 9/2, A fairly useful winning hurdler in France and has improved with each of his three runs for his new yard, strong-travelling third of 9 at Wetherby (2m4f) 30 days ago. Player off the same mark.
Creditable thirds at Newcastle and Wetherby; should be involved from the same mark..
5th
5th (7) Rock Hurley (16/1 -45%)
Rock Hurley

16/1(-45%)
(7) Rock Hurley 16/1, Won pair of 4-y-o hurdles in France but has been well below that level in 4 starts for current connections, producing a laboured effort after 8 weeks off in handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Handicapper relinquishes his grip but arrives with plenty to prove.
Well treated if he can be revived but has that to prove; new headgear goes on..
|PU|
|PU| (2) Rocky Man (7/1 -155%)
Rocky Man

7/1(-155%)
(2) Rocky Man 7/1, Looked promising sent handicapping at the beginning of last season but signed off with a poor run at Ayr in April and below par both runs this term at Cheltenham and Lingfield (first-time blinkers). Something to prove.
Not the most consistent and below best on last 2 starts; not ruled out off sliding mark.
|PU|
|PU| (3) Inferno Sacree (9/2 +36%)
Inferno Sacree

(3) Inferno Sacree 9/2, Scored at Newton Abbot in May and back to form of late, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 17 days ago when going off too hard. Needs considering.
Likely to need a career best to win and stamina remains unproven over this far..

14:00 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

HARPER VALLEY has scope for a good deal of improvement and, from a competitive mark, rates a solid option on these terms, with trip and ground conditions looking ideal. Hajey, who went agonisingly close to completing a C&D double, is respected but faces a stiff test in conceding so much weight to the selection, therefore Inferno Sacree might pose more of a threat running off just 2lb above his last winning figure.

SINGAPORE TRIP has got better with every start for Micky Hammond and looks ready to resume winning ways after his smooth-travelling Wetherby third last time out. Hajey has gone from strength to strength this term and rates a big threat with Inferno Sacree, Harper Valley and Rocky Man all in the mix too.

It may be worth taking a chance on GOLFE CLAIR, who is coming along steadily after an absence and could now strike from a handy mark.

San Pedro

5/1(-11%)
(4) San Pedro 5/1, Won at Lingfield and Fontwell for Paul Henderson in the first half of 2023. Good third for his new yard over C&D in November but he beat only one at Kempton on the Flat since. No surprise to see him bounce back.
Acts on soft; staying hurdle wins on good to soft and good; not yet at best for new yard.

2nd (3) Hasty Parisian (11/4 +21%)
Hasty Parisian

11/4(+21%)
(3) Hasty Parisian 11/4, Consistent sort who came in third of 7 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago. It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2022, however.
Weighted to go well on pick of his 2023 form at 3m but below best since October fall.
3
3rd (1) Good News (11/1 -83%)
Good News

11/1(-83%)
(1) Good News 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 14/1) 21 days ago so this veteran is in the mix.
Three C&D wins; has won on soft; Stratford 2nd in October much best run in the last year.
|F|
|F| (2) Hill Of Tara (8/11 +9%)
Hill Of Tara

8/11(+9%)
(2) Hill Of Tara 8/11, Much improved sent handicapping this season, easily making it 4 wins from 5 starts in 11-runner event at Hereford (25.5f) 39 days ago. Hiked up 15 lb but still the one to beat.
Helped by switch to testing surfaces and handicaps, winning 4-5; up 15lb for latest win.

(5) Rosserk Abbey 150/1, Sole win back in 2019 and off 25 months before coming in last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Very hard to warm to.
Sole win in 2019; all to prove on the evidence of last two runs, in 2022 and last month.

14:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

HILL OF TARA can do little wrong at present and a 15lb rise for wins at Haydock and Hereford may not be enough to prevent him completing the hat-trick. The seven-year-old seems to relish the mud and he should have too much for Hasty Parisian, who has become well handicapped but shown only mild promise for new connections. Similar comments apply to San Pedro, who would probably prefer faster ground.

HILL OF TARA remains on a workable mark despite taking a 15 lb hit for his easy Hereford success and can bag a fifth victory of the term. Three-time C&D winner Good News appeals as the one to chase home Venetia Williams' improver ahead of San Pedro.

Although 15lb higher than for his most recent win HILL OF TARA still looks the one to beat under conditions that suit.

1st (6) Tap N Go Leo (Evens -37%)
Tap N Go Leo

Evens(-37%)
(6) Tap N Go Leo Evens, Made an impressive start when landing a 15-runner bumper at Hereford on debut and produced a promising first effort over timber when third of 13 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, soft, 17/2) 30 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and he will take the beating.
Bumper winner; good 3rd in strong 2m3f maiden on hurdles debut; has a trip query.

Micro Millions

(4) Micro Millions 10/3, £40,000 buy after winning an Irish point. Third in pair of maiden hurdles around 2½m in the autumn but was beaten a long way on handicap debut at Ascot last month and needs application of cheekpieces to spark him back to form.
Irish point winner; showed promise on first 2 hurdle starts; headgear tried; fair chance.

(8) Jalisco Star 50/1, Hinted at ability in a first-time tongue strap when fifth of 12 in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton (24.7f, soft) 31 days ago. Has had a breathing operation subsequently and is more one for low-grade handicaps after this.
Placed in two Irish points, but needs to improve on her hurdling form to feature here.

Had To Be Hugo

13/2(-18%)
(2) Had To Be Hugo 13/2, Fair form to reach the frame on all 5 starts over hurdles but went the wrong way after an encouraging chase debut at Market Rasen last time, racing lazily from a very early stage. Bit to prove now back over hurdles.
Pulled up over fences last time; promise over hurdles; thorough stayer; place chance.

Le Jeune Bresil

(3) Le Jeune Bresil 4/1, Imposing sort who got off the mark in Irish points at second attempt in April. Shaped with plenty of encouragement on his second hurdles start when third of 15 at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) in November but pulled up with irregular heartbeat when last seen. Remains with potential if none the worse.
Irish point winner; third at Wetherby on second hurdles start; excuses last time; player.
|PU|
|PU| (1) Court Case (150/1 -355%)
Court Case

150/1(-355%)
(1) Court Case 150/1, Modest form when third both starts in small-field bumpers and could hardly have shown any less on hurdles debut at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 13 days ago. Up in trip.
Fair form in two small-field bumpers; pulled up after taking strong hold on hurdles debut.

14:30 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

It's early days for all of these and the likes of Le Jeune Bresil, Had To Be Hugo and Court Case are surely better than they mustered most recently, so warrant betting checks at the very least. However, TAP N GO LEO appears to have a bright future and having mainly jumped well when third on his hurdles debut over 2m3f at Warwick last month, the Jonjo O'Neill-trained five-year-old could be a different proposition with this longer trip a likely prompt for improvement.

Bumper winner TAP N GO LEO has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and produced an encouraging effort on hurdles bow at Warwick last month, so he makes plenty of appeal on his second start in this sphere. Le Jeune Bresil created a good impression on his only completed start so far, and having returned amiss last time, could be worth another chance, so he's put forward as the danger.

As Tap N Go Leo, a good third in a decent maiden on his debut, is not a certain stayer up in trip, preference is for MICRO MILLIONS.

Alto Alto

15/8(+46%)
(3) Alto Alto 15/8, Left previous chasing efforts behind when winning 17f handicap at Plumpton in April. Well held next 3 starts but sparked back to life by first-time cheekpieces and a tongue strap when capitalising on a falling mark returned to hurdling here 5 weeks ago. Big player with a repeat back chasing.

Again runner-up when going agonisingly close on return/chase debut at Fontwell (19.5f, soft), a race he probably would've won but for a bad mistake 2 out. Heavy ground an excuse since. Headgear on.
Lightly raced; claims on close 2nd at Fontwell; pulled up next time; had wind op since.

14:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Things may not have gone to plan for AVILES when pulled up as a short-priced favourite over further at Fontwell, but he had been ultra consistent prior to that and is better judged on a narrow defeat at the same track in November. Gary Moore's charge has undergone wind surgery since his latest run and that may be enough to see off the likes of three-time course winner Alto Alto and Prince Quali, who seems to be improving since arriving on these shores from France.

ALTO ALTO responded well to headgear/a tongue strap when scoring over hurdles here 5 weeks ago and can follow up back in this sphere. Prince Quali was all the better for his yard debut/belated return when runner-up at Wincanton and is next best.

Alto Alto returned to form over hurdles last time but PRINCE QUALI (nap) went close in his first British chase and can do better yet

Val Dancer

11/10(+0%)
(1) Val Dancer 11/10, Justified good support in first-time cheekpieces when running out a convincing winner at Leicester (22.7f) in December and made light of an 8 lb rise as he followed up under hands-and-heels ride at Wetherby (3m) last month. Big shout in hat-trick bid.

Back-to-back chase wins in December but below par last time; more needed..

(3) Conquredalofeurope 15/2, Fairly useful chaser at his best who capitalised on sliding mark in weak 4-runner affair over C&D on New Year's Day, his stamina coming to the fore as Ideal du Tabert faded. Wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate given balance of recent form, however.
C&D winner (heavy) latest; back up 3lb; likely to need to raise game to follow up.

Maiden; went close over C&D last month; not as good since; needs improvement.

15:00 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

VAL DANCER is on a hat-trick after backing up a wide-margin Leicester triumph when again justifying favouritism at Wetherby. Mel Rowley's gelding has a 7lb higher rating to contend with, but makes only his fourth chase start and could still be improving. Conquredalofeurope accounted for Ideal Du Tabert over C&D and he has to be considered off a 3lb higher figure, while Tom Cody was some way adrift of the selection last time but was flying prior to that.

The hat-trick beckons for VAL DANCER, who was value for extra than the 2-length winning margin at Wetherby (hands-and-heels riding) and with that form proving strong, he can get the better of Tom Cody, who was a few places behind the selection last time but shaped as if still in good form.

The looks best left to the unexposed and improving VAL DANCER (nap), who has plenty in his favour.

15:15 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot last June and last seen running in the Ebor, HMS PRESIDENT looks a shrewd recruit to this sphere. Trainer Alan King has done well with these types in the past and the seven-year-old may be able to take this en route to bigger targets, with recent Warwick third Koenigsstern looking best placed to chase him home. The booking of Harry Cobden aboard Lario catches the eye and he could also land a blow.

KOENIGSSTERN has started off well over hurdles and this dual points scorer is fancied to build on his excellent Warwick third and get off the mark in this sphere. Alan King's hurdling newcomer HMS President brings plenty of potential judged on his useful-winning Flat form and rates a big danger though. Military Tycoon appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

This race is all about smart Flat handicapper HMS PRESIDENT who ought to be a laydown now he goes hurdling.

15:30 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

For Pleasure is likely to have his supporters as he bids for three in a row after victories at Fakenham and Fontwell. However, preference is for HOLLY, who burst back into life in fine style at Market Rasen. She has been hit with a 9lb rise, but that might not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Last-time-out Sedgefield winner Moonlight Glory takes a step up in grade and is another to note.

A good contest that can go to FOR PLEASURE. Still well-handicapped on his 2020 Grade 2-winning form, he's 2-2 for Olly Murphy and has been given a break since his Fontwell victory on Boxing Day. Holly and Moonlight Glory were also both successful last time and are feared.

This can go to EL JEFE, who has already won three this season and ran as though needing the race when fourth at Carlisle last week.

15:45 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Three of the four contenders in this contest are last-time-out winners and the one preferred most is KOTMASK. Gary Moore's gelding cleared away by eight lengths in this grade at Sandown last time and he now takes a step back up in distance, which he should have no issues with. Chanceux secured a double when going in by a neck over an extended 2m at Doncaster in December and he isn't out of it off a 4lb higher rating. Of the remainder, Ballybeen makes more appeal than Scarface after two consecutive seconds recently.

The progressive KOTMASK posted a good timefigure when scoring at Sandown last time and he can strike again. Scarface jumped better fitted in this headgear when winning over C&D 5 weeks ago is next best.

All four runners have something going for them but KOTMASK shouldn't have a problem with the return to further after a clear 1m7f win.

16:00 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Minella Trump has been lowered 10lb in the space of two runs and he is also taking a drop in grade, but he isn't proven in conditions potentially this testing. With that in mind, BUSHYPARK looks the way to go. Phil Kirby's 10-year-old struck over hurdles at Haydock on his penultimate start and if he can reproduce that level of form after subsequently managing only fifth in the defence of his North Yorkshire Grand National title, he could be the one to beat. Floueur should be fitter on his second start after a long absence and holds stronger claims than Omar Maretti.

All 4 have something to prove but OMAR MARETTI hinted at a revival at Haydock last time so gets the vote having won this race 2 years ago. Bushypark is next best.

In a tricky four-runner event the vote goes to BUSHYPARK despite a below-par run here last time. Omar Maretti is next best.

16:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BIRDMAN BOB has filled the runner-up berth the last twice, including over track and trip on his latest outing, and he wouldn't need to improve much to go one better on this occasion. Homme D'Un Soir was beaten eight lengths into second in this grade at Market Rasen last month and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower rating, while Kaleb could show more in first-time blinkers.

RED WINDSOR reverts to hurdling off a tempting mark and could be worth chancing. Homme d'Un Soir is feared most ahead of Birdman Bob.

Slight preference is for BIRDMAN BOB who has a solid record in handicaps here and ran well over C&D last time out.

16:45 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This is a tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote goes to LADY BERLAIS, who struck by eight lengths two starts ago at Fakenham. Dan Skelton's mare disappointed at Sedgefield next time but she could easily bounce back to form and make it two from her last three. Top-weight Bombay Sapphire goes in first-time cheekpieces and takes a drop in trip, so she rates an interesting contender, while Majestic Jameela will find this easier than the Listed contest she was well held in at Doncaster and completes the shortlist.

MAJESTIC JAMEELA has her sights lowered for her handicap debut and the 4-y-o could be the way to go. Gearing's Point and returning 2022-winner Eventful are a couple of the other likely players.

If coping with her first run on soft ground, GEARING'S POINT should be a major player on her handicap debut.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

A recent switch in stables could be just the tonic to revive JUMEIRA VISION and, given he is a previous course winner off this mark, dropping back in trip is an enticing incentive to support the son of Iffraaj on debut for the Katie Scott yard. Local Music is feared most after a close second over C&D latest, while Fieldsman has been in flying form over 7f lately and can again go well if coping with this extra yardage. Island Native also enters calculations.

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who has hit the crossbar on both recent visits over C&D and Matt Crawley's filly can deservedly go a place better and open her account. Island Native arrives in fine form, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while veteran Fieldsman and King of Speed can fight out third spot.

The suggestion here is ISLAND NATIVE, who put a below par effort behind him last time and should appreciate the return to further.

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

Experimenting with headgear worked the oracle for WAKE UP HARRY at Kempton on his penultimate start and, having posted a near miss over this C&D latest, the son of Le Havre looks worth another chance with cheekpieces now swapped for blinkers. The consistent Mumayaz, who has finished second in five of his last six starts, is feared most, while Big Narstie is likely to be competitive, despite this being much tougher than some of his more recent assignments.

Mick Appleby's BIG NARSTIE arrives in great nick so is fancied to resume winning ways reverted to handicap company off a handy-looking mark. Plumette wasn't seen to best effect when fourth here last time and is feared most, although Dion Baker and Swiss Rowe also need considering.

Preference is just for WAKE UP HARRY, who was a little too free here last time but can benefit from the fitting of blinkers.

18:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A wealth of precocious talent has emerged from the Karl Burke yard over the last 12 months and it's very likely we can add ANCIENT MYTH to the list of horses to follow with the new turf season looming. This son of Camelot cost 425,000gns as a yearling and, with a stellar pedigree leaning towards effectiveness over middle distances, he is too hard to ignore here. Cupid's Dream is the pick of the Godolphin-owned pair, although Endless Victory could be anything, so a betting check is advised.

CUPID'S DREAM looked a useful prospect when a close third at Kempton on debut and sets a high standard. His stablemate Endless Victory is a brother to the very smart Cross Counter so may emerge as the biggest threat in what is potentially a good novice.

Form pick CUPID'S DREAM is first choice. Bursinel is still respected with further progress a strong possibility.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate start, MAREFUORI still looks off a workable mark on his return and he should be capable of going in again. Runner-up on his last two starts, including here last time out, Brodie's Boy may have improvement to come over further, while Livinthelife has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate success over C&D last month.

None of these can be ruled out but Marco Botti's MAREFUORI returns from a break on a lenient mark so is taken to bag a second C&D success. In-form duo Give It Up and Livinthelife can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

As regards the two handicap debutants, BRODIE'S BOY looks better treated and more solid than Etretat on bare form.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has finally dropped for TRIBAL WISDOM after a taking success at Lingfield, there should be much more to come from the Ian Williams' charge and he can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of Romilda, who has been in consistent form lately without getting her head in front, and Great Blasket.

TRIBAL WISDOM ran out a ready winner at Lingfield 4 weeks ago and could well be the type to run up a sequence now he's refound his form. Romilda was only just denied at Lingfield last week and is an obvious threat off the same mark, while Great Blasket should be in the mix again.

In-form maiden ROMILDA (nap) appears to be ahead of the assessor and is taken to open her account. Tribal Wisdom is feared most.

20:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The key piece of form to focus on in this contest is BELLA BLUESKY beating Miss Sligo (second) by a length at Southwell last week and the former is 4lb worse off this time around. That said, the daughter of Dylan Thomas is unexposed over this trip and could take a step forward to go in again. As for the latter, she looks like the main threat once again. Of the remainder, Fandabidozi appeals most after his fourth over C&D last time.

MISS SLIGO finished a length behind Bella Bluesky when first and second in a similar event at Southwell last week but she can reverse the placings on 4 lb better terms. Rebecca West is best of the rest.

The rematch between Miss Sligo and Bella Bluesky could go either way. DELVEY is preferred, ahead of Jenny Ren.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Starsong benefitted from positive tactics to produce a shock to score by over a length here last week and it would be no surprise to see her go close, despite having a 5lb penalty to carry. However, the vote goes to DARLO PRIDE, who just failed by a neck into second in this grade at Lingfield on his latest outing and he is only 1lb higher for that effort. The four-year-old very rarely runs a bad race and looks like a solid choice. The Tron completes the shortlist.

DARLO PRIDE pushed the winner all the way at Lingfield 10 days ago and looks ready to resume winning ways. Luke Morris got a good tune out of Starsong when scoring here last week and is next best under a penalty, with The Tron another to consider.

Off a workable mark, MUNIFICENT could well record a second success in this contest. Wedgewood 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.
