16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over C&D on Tuesday, RUBELLITE should have plenty more to come despite shouldering a 5lb penalty, which is offset by Alex Jary's 5lb claim. She can get the better of Irish raider Muhalhel and Come To Pass, who wasn't beaten far over C&D last month. Kemerton and Naadyaa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

COME TO PASS finished a close third over C&D last month, despite enduring a rough trip, and he looks ready to strike on that evidence. Irish-raider Muhalhel could be the one to follow him home, while Kemerton is of interest back down in trip and Angel of Antrim is not without hope on his debut for Ed Dunlop.

Angel Of Antrim is interesting but RUBELLITE should be able to hold her own back in a handicap after her C&D win this week.

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

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

WADACRE GRACE has gone close to executing tactics from the front over C&D the last twice, and this may be the time that she gets it right with Joe Fanning taking over in the saddle. The unexposed Meleki has improved with each start and must be a big player going back up in trip, while recent C&D winner Min Till must also enter calculations.

MIN TILL proved just about as good as ever when resuming winning ways over C&D last month and, with only a 2 lb higher mark to contend with over a trip at which she's totally unexposed, she's fully expected to follow up. Wadacre Grace and Noble Sovereign look most interesting of the opposition.

Noble Sovereign could take a step forward on her second run for new connections but WADACRE GRACE may be the answer.

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

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

An intriguing maiden where it can pay to side with BINT ALFELLA, who was an encouraging second on her return from a 96-day break over C&D in November. Runner-up on his first two career outings here last month, Influence can give her the most to think about, while Helga Brandt was well fancied but disappointed on her debut at Pontefract and may be capable of better.

It's likely that INFLUENCE and Bint Alfella will both prove to be most effective at 6f+ but they are nevertheless the candidates with the most compelling claims in this maiden, and by some way. Influence is marginally preferred having chased home a potentially useful colt over this C&D on Boxing Day. Al Muqdad has been absent since making his debut 17 months ago but he is interesting nonetheless, while Helga Brandt can be expected to leave her low-key introduction well behind in time.

Bint Alfella and INFLUENCE may both prefer an additional furlong but they still look the pair to focus on.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 9.5f Race Class Flow

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

GREAT MAX (fifth) had Master Of Combat (sixth) behind by just over two lengths over C&D in November and he was dropped 2lb for that effort. The son of Wootton Bassett now takes another drop in grade and could prove very hard to beat at this level. Inspiritus is an interesting contender on his handicap debut and could go well off an opening mark of 78, while Afterwards will find this easier than his latest Newcastle assignment.

MASTER OF COMBAT was going through a good spell at the end of 2023, winning at this course on 3 of his last 5 starts, and he can add to his tally returned to this longer trip. The biggest threat could come from Inspiritus, who is open to further progress upped in trip for his handicap debut, while Arcadian Nights also enters calculations.

Inspiritus looks a potential improver upped in trip now handicapping but MASTER OF COMBAT is thriving and may be able to win again.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

GERROTS was victorious by half a length over an extended 2m here on his latest outing and he now has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. The six-year-old remains in this grade and could be the one to beat again. Black Smoke hit the frame over 1m4f here last month and he is able to compete off the same mark, so could get into contention up in trip. Vienna Girl is another to note.

Last-time-out winners FOOTSY and Gerrots should both be in the thick of things once again. The latter's breakthrough success was gained over 16.6f but he was runner-up over C&D in October and dropping back to this trip shouldn't be an issue. However, marginal preference is for Robert Stephens' charge, who has fewer miles on the clock and the booking of Rossa Ryan adds to his appeal. Black Smoke was a creditable third to the selection here and is third choice ahead of Vienna Girl.

Footsy had the run of things over 1m4f here last time and third-placed BLACK SMOKE may gain his revenge over this longer trip.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

THE CRAFTYMASTER had Baileys Warrior (second) a length behind when scoring over an extended 2m here last month and is only 1lb worse off at the weights. The son of Master Carpenter is less exposed than most of these and could have plenty more to offer, so he can record a double. As for the latter, she has cheekpieces applied for the first time which could see her get closer. Virtual Hug is another to note.

THE CRAFTYMASTER opened his account over a staying trip here last time and looks well placed to defy a 2 lb higher mark. Virtual Hug scored over C&D in November and produced another good effort last time, so looks capable of getting in the mix again, alongside Baileys Warrior, who chased the selection home on their previous meeting.

The answer to this might be VIRTUAL HUG who made the frame over 1m4f here last time and now returns to his winning distance.

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

Twice a winner at this level, including one over C&D, THE TRON arrives following a series of creditable efforts in handicaps. The son of Outstrip is expected to mount a serious challenge on these terms and he shades preference over Basholo, to whom similar comments apply with stall one likely to aid her chance. Another to note is Wiley Post.

BASHOLO wasn't seen to best effect over C&D last time and she looks the pick at these weights in a weak event. Jacquelina and The Tron are feared most.

The drop back into 0-50 classified company can see BASHOLO resume winning ways. The Tron is feared most.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A 2lb rise in the handicap might underestimate HARRY THE HAGGLER, who recorded an unlikely success at Kempton last time having been caught much further back than ideal passing the two furlong marker. Stuart Williams' four-year-old ought to be tested by Irish raider Circles and Dion Baker, who looks set to appreciate a drop in trip after weakening over further here last month.

CIRCLES has been shaping up well at Dundalk of late and can make the journey across the Irish Sea a successful one. Harry The Haggler and Dion Baker head the dangers.

Circles is respected despite a wide stall but HARRY THE HAGGLER (nap) is preferred after his snug win at Kempton when last seen.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DAGMAR RUN was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when winning at Chelmsford last time and David Simcock's charge is fancied to repeat the dose off just 1lb higher. South Dakota Sioux continues to run well in defeat and he's unlikely to be far away, along with Vondelpark. Multiple course winner Plumette hasn't been at her best in recent starts, but she cannot be ruled out around here.

CAMACHO STAR has a solid record on all-weather and is fancied to make it 2 wins from 3 starts since undergoing a breathing operation. Vondelpark found only a well-treated sort too good on his penultimate outing and will be a big threat if returning to that sort of form, with Plumette another to consider returning from a break given her good record when fresh.

Several possibles but CAMACHO STAR wasn't seen to best effect at Southwell last week and could still be ahead of his mark.
