LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Conquest Of Power has run well in defeat on his last three outings and the ease in grade could prove pivotal to his chances. That said, he may come out second best to PESSOA, who impressed over this C&D last time, scoring more comfortably than the winning margin suggests, and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up here. Dors Toyboy has slipped to 2lb lower than his last winning mark and he has solid claims to hit the frame.

PESSOA looked better than ever when going in over C&D recently and looks the way to go nudged up just 2 lb. Conquest of Power is feared most on the back of his good Kempton third, while Dors Toyboy and Bishop's Glory also need factoring into this open handicap.

The 4yo CONQUEST OF POWER gets another go over 7f and the race didn't go entirely to plan at Kempton last week.

(5) Nasneen 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 20/1) 8 days ago.
Low-key stable debut at Lingfield last week; new trip not enough to tempt.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

GLISTENING NIGHTS lost nothing in defeat most recently when finishing third at Southwell and he should make a decent fist of trying to go two places better off 1lb lower in what looks a winnable contest for Richard Fahey's colt. Both Livinthelife and La Verite arrive with interesting profiles on their handicap debut and may well emerge as the biggest dangers to the selection.

GLISTENING NIGHTS has finished placed on his last couple of starts in slightly better races so in the hope his stamina lasts out over this new trip he's certainly weighted to strike. Livinthelife and La Verite may have bigger performances in them and they look the threats.

La Verite and Livinthelife can do better but GLISTENING NIGHTS has been knocking at the door and looks the safest option.

125-1 and little in the way of short-term promise in a 7f novice here 13 days ago.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

This contest appears to revolve around the regally bred KALIDASA and he can get his head in front on his racecourse debut for the in-form Charlie Appleby team.The 2,800,000gns purchase should have too much for his rivals before going on to tougher assignments down the line. Ground Run may prove to be best of the rest for the father and son team of Mark and Billy Loughnane, while, Alvesta is taken to put her experience to good use and fill the frame.

This will go to a newcomer, with Godolphin's regally-bred KALIDASA, the most expensive yearling sold at auction in 2022, the obvious call. Pilgrim of Culture and Ground Run don't have the price-tag/stunning pedigree of the selection but are also of interest.

Godolphin's KALIDASA had a purchase price to match his sparkling pedigree and he's been found a weak race in which to make his debut.

Hasn't beaten a rival in two outings for current yard; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Graceful Mary can make her presence felt if recapturing the form which saw her win by half a length over C&D in November, but her lacklustre handicap debut when eighth of 10 last month tempers enthusiasm. The application of a hood for the first time should help East Bank to settle better in the early part of the race and he may outrun his forecast odds. Better ran out a three-length winner over C&D in December but has been hit with an 11lb rise for that success which will make life tougher for him here and preference goes to ZOLA POWER. The latter clearly benefitted from wind surgery when making all to win over 5f at this course eight days ago and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty with scope for improvement following that reappearance run.

There could be plenty more to come from George Boughey's BETTER who is selected to make light of a double-figure rise for last month's C&D success. The unexposed James Tate handicap newcomer Invincible Speed is a potentially dangerous opponent, while the draw could have been kinder to Zola Power but he's one who could easily have more to offer for new trainer Mick Appleby.

Impressive in December, BETTER (nap) could still have untapped potential as a sprinter and may follow up despite a rise in the weights.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DAYTONA LADY arrives here after forcing a dead-heat in her most recent start at Chelmsford, when faring best of those held up off the pace, and she may not have to share first place here off 3lb higher. Boom Boom Pow is fancied as the main danger to the selection after only finding one too good on her last two starts, but she may be the bridesmaid again off the same mark here. Dazy Mazy may be the one to fill the placings after a luckless display off 1lb higher at Newcastle last time out.

SIBYL CHARM pulled clear with one that went in next time at Newcastle recently, so a performance of similar merit could be enough for her to gain compensation. Boom Boom Pow is at the top of her game and should feature, while Daytona Lady can't be ruled out.

Daytona Lady and SIBYL CHARM appeal most. The selection bumped into a rapid improver last time and pulled well clear of the third.

Beauzon

1.625
13/8(+19%)
(1) Beauzon 13/8, Ended last year on a low-key note but took advantage of much-reduced mark dropped into 0-55 company when landing 12-runner C&D handicap on Sunday. Consistency not his strong suit but claims if arriving in same groove under a penalty.
Evidently revived by removal of hood when scoring over C&D on Sunday; respected.

2nd (10) One For The Ladies (11/2 +8%)
One For The Ladies

5.5
11/2(+8%)
(10) One For The Ladies 11/2, C&D winner. 15/2, again shaped better than distance beaten suggests when third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 32 days ago, enduring wide trip/from tricky draw. Capable of defying this mark if she gets the breaks.
In-form mare, having been placed in last three races (twice here); solid claims.

3rd (4) Come On Girl (11/2 -22%)
Come On Girl

5.5
11/2(-22%)
(4) Come On Girl 11/2, Losing run is mounting up but she's returned in good heart this winter, finishing to good effect when second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 days ago. No surprise to see her thereabouts from handy draw.
Turns looks near having finished second at Lingfield and Southwell the last twice.

12/1(+25%)
(6) Kaidu 12/1, Back on track when runner-up in novice company here (5.1f) in November but disappointed both starts back in handicap company since. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip at least.
Has produced duck eggs in three handicap attempts; something to prove.

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(7) My Boy Jack 9/2, C&D winner. 8/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago, never nearer. Good pace to aim at here will aid his cause.
Both wins over C&D; below best the last twice but is interesting with Rossa Ryan booked.

Shabaaby

12

(2) Shabaaby 12/1, Latest win over C&D in November and dispelled a lesser effort when creditable 2 lengths fourth of 11 to Red Walls in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 21 days ago, ridden 2f out and keeping on. Each-way claims from handy draw.
40-1 win here in November; far from consistent otherwise for current stable.
9
7th (9) Red Walls (9/1 -50%)
Red Walls

9
9/1(-50%)
(9) Red Walls 9/1, Ended long losing run at Southwell in December and, following a good second over C&D, he duly resumed winning ways in 11-runner minor event at Lingfield (6f) 8 days ago. More on his plate now though back in a handicap and widest draw to overcome.
Justified favouritism in Lingfield classified race last week; in good form.
5
8th (5) Captain Wentworth (25/1 -108%)
Captain Wentworth

25
25/1(-108%)
(5) Captain Wentworth 25/1, Maiden who, having been well backed, run best race for a while when runner-up at Chelmsford (7f) in June. Not figured in 3 subsequent outings, but likely he'll be sharper for his latest run at that venue 3 weeks ago (following 4 months off). Worth noting if market speaks in his favour.
Still a maiden and may ideally need a return to 7f.
3
9th (3) Bala Hatun (125/1 -400%)
Bala Hatun

125
125/1(-400%)
(3) Bala Hatun 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 50/1) in June, driven over 3f out and soon beaten. Absent since but best effort to date did come on AW. Market may prove a useful guide returning from 7 months off.
Far from solid on her 7f/1m form; something to prove dropped in trip.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Beauzon was said to have benefitted from being able to race prominently when winning over C&D five days ago and he merits respect turned out quickly under a penalty, but a wide draw could scupper his chances. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on COME ON GIRL, who continues to knock on the door and she is handicapped to go well. Red Walls is another to consider.

BEAUZON isn't one for maximum faith given his slow starts but he lines up having capitalised on his much-reduced mark with a bit to spare over C&D on Sunday and could just be worth siding with to follow up under a penalty. Come On Girl finished a good second from an unpromising position at Southwell recently and she's feared, with My Boy Jack and One For The Ladies completing the shortlist.

Kept to his ideal scenario with Rossa Ryan booked, MY BOY JACK could well record a third C&D win. Beauzon is feared most.

Soames Forsyte

4
4/1(+33%)
(3) Soames Forsyte 4/1, Refitted with cheekpieces, capitalised on career-low mark to shed maiden tag at Southwell (1m) 21 days ago, rallying close home and bagging share of the spoils on line. Up 2 lb and no reason why he won't give another good account.
Game effort to dead-heat at Southwell latest (form franked); chance up just 2lb.

Five wins in 2023, the latest over C&D last month; not seen to best effect latest; chance.

Did well last year and back to his last winning mark; others may be stronger stayers today.

(5) Ring Of Gold 9/4, Course winner who arrives on a losing run but he looked back in better heart returning from 7 weeks off when finishing a close-up fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 32 days ago. Back down to a potentially lenient mark and he's one to bear in mind.
Handicapped to win and shaped well last time; a fast-run 7f probably his optimum though.

Three wins last year; dropping in grade today and he's one to take seriously.

Signs of a revival here last time and return of a hood should be beneficial; check market.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

CEPHALUS is officially 4lb well-in having been narrowly denied at Southwell six days ago, and he appeals as the one to beat in a first-time visor. Soames Forsyte dead-heated for top honours at the same venue three weeks ago and another bold bid looks likely off just 2lb higher, while Win Win Power, who boasts a commendable record on the all-weather, must also be respected.

Having landed a big gamble at Lingfield last month, CEPHALUS more than backed up that effort when runner-up at Southwell 6 days ago, headed close home but nicely clear of the remainder. Now equipped with a first-time visor, he's expected to make another bold bid from what remains an exploitable mark. Ring of Gold is down to a lenient mark himself and he's a threat, particularly granted a good pace to aim at. Win Win Power can also make the frame.

Soames Forsyte and Showmedemoney can go well but CEPHALUS can resume winning ways now tried in a new visor.

Free-going 4yo who will need to step up on recent Newcastle efforts if he's to feature.

Unexposed 4yo; absent since a poor turf run in May; earlier Kempton second was promising.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Recent C&D winner ENGLISH SPIRIT was never far away in a race which it paid to sit prominently and, with a similar scenario likely to unfold here, Heather Main's gelding can repeat the dose. Lunarscape has been knocking on the door in recent starts so she could find more for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Pembrokeshire continues to fall down the weights and should not be underestimated.

The vote goes to LUNARSCAPE, who found only a well-treated pair too strong on her stable debut at this course 16 days ago. Asgard's Captain has been hit hard by the assessor for his wide-margin win at Musselburgh back in August but further improvement can't be ruled out on first start for Dylan Cunha. Surprise Picture has dropped to a handy mark and completes the shortlist having taken a step back in the right direction at Newcastle last time.

Kingwell and Lunarscape are high on the list but ENGLISH SPIRIT may be able to defy top weight and gain his fourth course win.

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.
