17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 1st (2) (10/3 +5%) Fools Rush In	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Fools Rush In 10/3, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in December. Second of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/11) 11 days ago. Has to enter calculations. In-form 7yo who remains feasibly treated and should go well again.
4 2nd (4) (9/1 -125%) Zu Run	9 9/1(-125%)	(4) Zu Run 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (6f) 33 days ago. Unlikely that he will be far away. Not easy to predict but he ran well at Kempton latest and is not ruled out back up in trip.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Port Erin	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Port Erin 4/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. 7/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 21 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark. Form figures of 213 on AW in last three runs and he's respected on this drop back to 7f.
7 4th (7) (5/1 -25%) H Key Lails	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) H Key Lails 5/1, Course winner. 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 29 days ago. This is tougher up 4 lb but he's clearly in good nick. Record of 322231 since returned to AW in August and he's a big player again back in trip.
8 5th (8) (6/1 +20%) Showhound	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) Showhound 6/1, Won 8-runner handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago, kept up to work. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this is more demanding. 33-1 win off reduced mark at Newcastle last time; only 2lb higher here and he's in the mix.
1 6th (1) (7/2 +78%) Berkshire Phantom	3.5 7/2(+78%)	(1) Berkshire Phantom 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 16/1) 31 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. On dangerous mark and has possibilities if he gets the breaks back in trip.
5 7th (5) (28/1 -75%) No Saint	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) No Saint 28/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. First run since leaving Sam England when tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 38 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others preferred. Won twice in the autumn and had excuse back at 6f on stable debut; one to keep an eye on.
6 8th (6) (22/1 +12%) Kalganov	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Kalganov 22/1, 125/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back but would be a threat if able to do so off this reduced mark (now 11 lb lower compared to when last successful in December 2023). On reduced mark but he's been out of sorts in last five runs and needs a big turnaround.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Showhound has to be respected off just 2lb higher than when successful over 7f at Newcastle earlier in the month, but marginal preference is for FOOLS RUSH IN. Ruth Carr's gelding has made the frame on both starts since winning at Southwell last month and clearly remains on a workable mark. H Key Lails edges out Port Erin to be best of the rest.

PORT ERIN was well held on his first two starts for this yard but he has really found his feet since, posting solid efforts in defeat here either side of a battling success at Chelmsford. The 5-y-o remains feasibly treated and he gets the nod ahead of Zu Run, who bounced back from a couple of low-key efforts when third here three weeks ago. Fools Rush In and H Key Lails are others with appealing claims.

This is competitive but the vote goes to H KEY LAILS, who was as good as ever with his dominant display at Lingfield last time.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
8 1st (8) (4/1 +71%) Hawa Jumeirah	4 4/1(+71%)	(8) Hawa Jumeirah 4/1, Fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 8/1) 33 days ago, doing too much too soon. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve. Market springer when fair fifth at Kempton and he still has potential; could be in the mix.
12 2nd (12) (14/1 -40%) This Time Maybe	14 14/1(-40%)	(12) This Time Maybe 14/1, 33/1, third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Fair third over C&D last time but he's now 0-12 and needs to find something extra.
3 3rd (3) (9/2 +10%) Starfighter	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(3) Starfighter 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 14 days ago by ½ length from Virtual Hug. Merits consideration. Justified favouritism over C&D last time and he's only 2lb higher here; respected.
10 4th (10) (6/1 +40%) Walk The Moon	6 6/1(+40%)	(10) Walk The Moon 6/1, Good second of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Can give a good account. 20-race maiden under both codes but he was a good second over C&D last time; shortlisted.
7 5th (7) (7/2 -17%) Esticky End	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(7) Esticky End 7/2, Unreliable sort. Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Dundalk (12f) 31 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Won at Dundalk last month and he's unexposed at this trip; withdrawn here on Saturday.
5 6th (5) (17/2 +39%) Mhajim	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(5) Mhajim 17/2, Unreliable individual. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 12/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. Has dropped a long way in weights and was an eyecatcher at Lingfield last week; dangerous.
9 7th (9) (10/1 -11%) Virtual Hug	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Virtual Hug 10/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Creditable ½-length second of 9 to Starfighter in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 14 days ago. Close second behind Starfighter over C&D two weeks ago; respected off only 1lb higher.
11 8th (11) (50/1 -25%) Abstract	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Abstract 50/1, One win from 32 Flat runs. 7¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Starfighter in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, not knocked about. Just one win from 37 starts and was quiet over C&D on recent comeback; others preferred.
1 9th (1) (8/1 -14%) Max Of Stars	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Max Of Stars 8/1, Fair winning hurdler. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm, 15/8) on Flat return, doing too much too soon. Off 167 days. Down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Still lightly raced on the Flat but she flopped last time and has a bit to prove on return.
4 10th (4) (40/1 +0%) Avarice	40 40/1(+0%)	(4) Avarice 40/1, C&D winner. 80/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 6 months. Has plenty to prove after another absence and hard to know how much ability remains.
6 11th (6) (33/1 -65%) Sparkling Belle	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Sparkling Belle 33/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Lightly raced 4yo but she needs improvement on this step up to 1m4f.

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

STARFIGHTER bounced back to form when successful over C&D a couple of weeks ago and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop the veteran from following up. Virtual Hug was second on that occasion and is an obvious threat off 1lb better terms. Cases can be made for plenty of the remainder, but Walk The Moon and Mhajim are the pick of them.

ESTICKY END ended his losing run at Dundalk under this rider last month, showing none of the quirks that have held him back in the past stepped up to this longer trip, and is preferred to Max of Stars, who remains well treated in this sphere on hurdles form. Starfighter recorded a third C&D win 2 weeks ago and is another to consider.

An open race in which the vote goes to STARFIGHTER, who justified favouritism off a reduced mark over C&D last time.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
1 1st (1) (9/2 +50%) Mumayaz	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(1) Mumayaz 9/2, Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Bath in October. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Runner-up over C&D last month but he's not easy to predict and was laboured last time.
6 2nd (6) (20/1 +20%) Hallowed Time	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Hallowed Time 20/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Winner at Chester in September. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 14 days ago. Four-time turf winner but he's 0-8 on AW and was well held over C&D last time.
5 3rd (5) (5/1 +17%) Em Jay Kay	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Em Jay Kay 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. In the mix. Won over C&D in November and was placed back here last time; in the mix again.
8 4th (8) (22/1 -83%) Not Just Yet	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Not Just Yet 22/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 14 days ago. Record of 1-25 and he was down the field over C&D last time; others are more convincing.
4 5th (4) (5/2 +0%) Tyke	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Tyke 5/2, Very good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Shortlist material. Only narrowly denied when favourite over C&D last Monday; strong claims off same mark.
9 6th (9) (10/1 -25%) Professor Tickle	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Professor Tickle 10/1, 6/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Fair fourth over C&D last twice but was behind Tyke here last Monday; needs to find more.
7 7th (7) (16/1 -60%) Beauzon	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Beauzon 16/1, 7-time C&D winner. Six wins from 21 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 7 days ago. Seven-time C&D winner but he's been quiet here the last twice; needs to get back on track.
2 8th (2) (25/1 +24%) That's For Sure	25 25/1(+24%)	(2) That's For Sure 25/1, Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. Mark is tumbling and now drops into a Class 5 but he needs to turn things around.
3 9th (3) (4/1 -14%) Gogo Yubari	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Gogo Yubari 4/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 9/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 4 days ago, faring best of those held up. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. In-form filly and her last win was off this mark over C&D; big player.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

TYKE was only beaten a nose into second over C&D a week ago and the five-year-old can provide his supporters with some compensation off the same mark here. Em Jay Kay also made the frame over this track and trip on his most recent outing and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Gogo Yubari completes the shortlist.

TYKE took a big step back in the right direction when headed only late on over C&D last week and can go one better off the same mark. Gogo Yubari continues to hold her form well and rates the main threat ahead of Em Jay Kay.

Top of the list is TYKE, who was only just caught here last Monday and has strong claims if he can repeat that form off the same mark.

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 1st (7) (10/11 +24%) Chartwell Jock	0.909091 10/11(+24%)	(7) Chartwell Jock 10/11, 100,000 gns yearling by Churchill. Twice-raced colt. 14/1, second of 10 in novice at Lingfield (10f, AW) 17 days ago, having run of race. Sets a clear standard. Sets the standard on his second at Lingfield and he's open to more progress; big player.
3 2nd (3) (11/2 -10%) Without Compromise	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Without Compromise 11/2, Thrice-raced gelding. Third of 9 in novice at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) 10 days ago. Getting better with each run. Has shown promise this winter including when third at Newcastle last time; in the mix.
6 3rd (6) (12/1 -50%) Universal Story	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Universal Story 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 7 in novice at Southwell (11.1f, 10/3) 23 days ago. Looked stretched over 1m3f latest and is a possible improver back in trip; not ruled out.
8 4th (8) (5/2 +62%) Crackalackin	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(8) Crackalackin 5/2, Twice-raced colt. Fourth of 9 in novice (9/1) at this course (8.6f) 13 days ago. Promising fourth here latest and this longer trip should suit; could be dangerous.
5 5th (5) (5/1 0%) Flute D'or	5 5/1(0%)	(5) Flute D'or 5/1, 15,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn filly. Dam US 8.5f (minor stakes) winner out of winning close relative of smart winner up to 1½m Crosspeace. Newcomer to note in a weak maiden. Makes her belated debut but she has a good pedigree and needs watching in the market.
4 6th (4) (80/1 -220%) Fazen	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) Fazen 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 10 in novice at this course (7.2f, 50/1) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has shown ability but this looks tough on the figures and handicaps will be more like it.
2 7th (2) (200/1 -400%) Star Of Jupiter	200 200/1(-400%)	(2) Star Of Jupiter 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 5 in novice at this C&D (50/1) 77 days ago. Well held in two runs on Tapeta during the autumn, with an RPR of 46 on both occasions.
1 8th (1) (150/1 -50%) Little Mukka	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Little Mukka 150/1, Pulled hard when tailed off in bumper. Tailed off at a big price in Huntingdon bumper on recent debut; can only be watched.

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CHARTWELL JOCK took a big step forwards from his debut when filling second place over 1m2f at Lingfield last time. The son of Churchill will like have more improvement left to come and could get off the mark in this company. Without Compromise may benefit from this step up in trip and the well-bred son of Frankel should not be discounted. Others to note are Crackalackin and Flute D'or.

CHARTWELL JOCK proved no match for a useful prospect at Lingfield but this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Flute d'Or is bred to be useful and may emerge as the main threat on her belated debut.

Preference is for CHARTWELL JOCK, who sets the standard on his second at Lingfield 17 days ago and is open to more progress.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 (7) (16/1 -14%) I Can't Believe	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) I Can't Believe 16/1, Still a maiden but visored for 1st time when a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 25 days ago, weakening final 1f. Not ruled out back down in trip. 0-8 but she ran well for a long way over 9.4f here last time; not ruled out back in trip.
3 1st (3) (17/2 -31%) Kitaro Kich	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(3) Kitaro Kich 17/2, Good second of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 32 days ago, though he hung right entering last 1f. Ought to be in the shake-up in his bid for a maiden victory. 0-14 but he went very close at Chelmsford (1m) latest; big player again off 2lb higher.
9 2nd (9) (11/1 -83%) Pessoa	11 11/1(-83%)	(9) Pessoa 11/1, 4-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Evens, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 13 days ago. Return to this longer trip promises to suit and he's another to consider. Four-time course winner who has run well here last twice; dangerous back up in trip.
10 3rd (10) (5/4 +55%) Marinakis	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(10) Marinakis 5/4, Landed a gamble to open his account at Chelmsford (1m) prior to finishing a good second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, having the run of things but pulling clear of the remainder. Of interest again kept to this sort of trip. Won at Chelmsford 11 days ago and was runner-up on Tapeta last week; key player.
2 3rd (2) (50/1 -100%) Whiteley Way	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Whiteley Way 50/1, Maiden who posted respectable placed efforts on first 2 starts last year but couldn't build on them in trio of starts thereafter and returns from 4 months off starting out for n yard now. Record of 0-11 and has something to prove on return for new yard.
6 5th (6) (10/1 +17%) Port Noir	10 10/1(+17%)	(6) Port Noir 10/1, 6-time course winner. Three wins from 29 runs last year. 15/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 7 days ago, no extra only late on. Should remain competitive. Has form figures of 112343234 here since October and she should go well again.
5 6th (5) (13/2 +46%) Carey Street	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(5) Carey Street 13/2, 4-time course winner. 16/1, returned to form after 11 weeks off when third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 60 days ago, suited by way race developed. Stable enjoying a good spell and fact he's re-united with Hollie Doyle another plus. His last three wins have been at this track and he was placed over C&D latest; shortlisted.
4 7th (4) (5/1 -11%) Al Baahy	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Al Baahy 5/1, Boasts just the one win from 34 starts but is down to a workable mark and posted a good second of 9 in a C&D handicap 24 days ago, that despite conceding first run. Worth a second look. Record of 1-34 but he's in good form and was runner-up over C&D latest; respected.
8 8th (8) (11/1 -22%) Viva Voce	11 11/1(-22%)	(8) Viva Voce 11/1, Course winner. Latest win at Dundalk in December. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 6/1) 2 days ago. Up in trip. Won at Dundalk last month but he was laboured over 7f here on Saturday; risks attached.
1 9th (1) (20/1 -67%) Guiteau	20 20/1(-67%)	(1) Guiteau 20/1, Course winner who ran respectably from his easing mark when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at this course (7.2f) 16 days ago, keeping on. Eased further 2 lb ahead of this but does need to conclusively prove himself as effective at this sort of trip. On reduced mark but he's been well held here last twice and others are preferred.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for PESSOA following his second off this mark over 7f here two weeks ago and the step back up in trip should not be a problem. Al Baahy bumped into a well-handicapped rival when runner-up over C&D last month and he should not be underestimated. Kitaro Kich, Carey Street and Marinakis are others who arrive here with strong form claims.

AL BAAHY'S strike rate tempers enthusiasm but he confirmed he's fallen to a workable mark when finishing a good second over C&D last month and he's given the narrow vote to go one place better. Marinakis and Pessoa also arrive in good heart and can also feature.

Preference is for MARINAKIS, who has really got his act together recently and is still unexposed at this trip.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
6 1st (6) (1/1 +9%) Manton Road	1 1/1(+9%)	(6) Manton Road 1/1, Showed improved form when third on stable debut at Newcastle (1m) in December and much improved when first past post (before losing race in stewards' room) on account of causing interference in 1m handicap at Lingfield 7 days ago. Big shout off same mark. Demoted from first place at Lingfield last week and in off the same mark here.
7 2nd (7) (11/1 -38%) Invincible Love	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) Invincible Love 11/1, Seventh of 10 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 11/1) 38 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Needs to bounce back. Dropped out tamely at Southwell; may be found wanting unless granted a soft lead.
2 3rd (2) (22/1 -175%) Missile Mac	22 22/1(-175%)	(2) Missile Mac 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran poorly when ninth of 10 in nursery (9/1) at Newcastle (5f) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time and the betting can prove a useful guide. 0-6 but her penultimate effort was just about her best yet and that was over 7f.
1 4th (1) (5/1 +69%) Paulie Two Lockers	5 5/1(+69%)	(1) Paulie Two Lockers 5/1, Unreliable type. 28/1, ninth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 31 days ago, fading entering straight. Visor needs to have positive now in place of cheekpieces. Has a race in him, perhaps 7f is his trip and a visor replaces cheekpieces.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -60%) Go Steelers Go	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Go Steelers Go 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, failed to come on for a recent run when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago. Improvement required. Modest five-race maiden and has stamina to prove on first run beyond 6f.
3 6th (3) (17/2 +47%) Rumba Bay	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(3) Rumba Bay 17/2, Hooded for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in nursery at Gowran (7f, heavy, 40/1). Off 91 days. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving D. K. Weld. Unplaced at big prices in seven runs for Dermot Weld before being sold for 1,000gns in Oct.
5 7th (5) (3/1 -9%) Aneedah Hero	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Aneedah Hero 3/1, Saxon Warrior gelding who was again the subject of strong support and stepped up on previous efforts when fourth of 8 in handicap (5/4) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago. Didn't look entirely straight forward then but not ruled out in any case. Didn't appear to handle the track when a beaten favourite last week at Lingfield.
8 8th (8) (200/1 -203%) Brown Gold	200 200/1(-203%)	(8) Brown Gold 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in nursery (125/1) at Newcastle (8f) 45 days ago. Needs to step up significantly if she's to play a part here. Huge prices when down the field in both her handicaps and she's well out of the weights.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MANTON ROAD was first past the post, before being placed second by the stewards, when pulling well clear with the eventual winner over a mile at Lingfield recently and he gets the nod to score off the same mark. This step back in trip could help the unexposed Aneedah Hero to be seen to better effect and he looks the main danger to the selection. Missile Mac struggled over 5f at Newcastle most recently but an improved display would come as no surprise sporting a tongue-tie for the first time.

MANTON ROAD has improved upon joining Gay Kelleway, first past the post only to lose the race in the stewards' room at Lingfield (1m) 7 days ago. He can gain compensation operating from the same mark. Aneedah Hero and Missile Mac may emerge as 2 of the likelier dangers.

Manton Road is clearly handicapped to go well but ANEEDAH HERO didn't appear to handle Lingfield last week when well backed.

3 1st (3) (85/40 -70%) Kaleidoscope Eyes	2.125 85/40(-70%)	(3) Kaleidoscope Eyes 85/40, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Obvious claims on pick of his exploits this winter provided she settles better back up in trip. 0-10 but in the frame seven times; return to this trip may suit and looks the one to beat.
6 2nd (6) (10/1 -11%) Maid Of Killybegs	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Maid Of Killybegs 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 30 days ago, weakening final 1f. Significantly back up in trip. Hasn't shown much in four starts over a variety of trips including on nursery debut.
2 3rd (2) (11/2 +0%) Camden Flyer	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(2) Camden Flyer 11/2, 33/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago, staying on final 1f without threatening. Best efforts to date have come at around this trip and better showing anticipated. Three outings for this yard have offered little; needs a turnaround.
8 4th (8) (11/1 +21%) Diligent Madam	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Diligent Madam 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut and progress required. Out of the frame in three starts but did hint at ability on second outing; handicap debut.
4 5th (4) (20/1 -43%) Leading Star Girl	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Leading Star Girl 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice at this course (5.1f, 200/1) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Starts handicap career off a modest mark, but needs to improve.
7 6th (7) (17/2 -6%) Born Too Run	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(7) Born Too Run 17/2, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Mainly disappointing, but her third at Southwell in November would give her a chance.
5 7th (5) (15/2 +25%) Swizzle	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Swizzle 15/2, Land Force filly. Down the field all 3 starts in maiden/novice company and blinkers now reached for on handicap debut. Another who needs monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Starts life in handicaps off a plater's mark but needs to step up; blinkers on.
1 8th (1) (7/2 +56%) Jester Queen	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(1) Jester Queen 7/2, Practical Joke filly who offered something on first of her 3 starts in AW novice events at up to 8.6f. Hood/tongue tie reached for on handicap bow and the betting can prove a useful guide. Starts handicap career at a modest level in a new headgear combination; market revealing.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KALEIDOSCOPE EYES was too keen to do herself justice when fifth over 6f at Southwell recently, but she shaped with plenty of promise in fourth over a mile prior to that and she looks capable of landing the spoils. This step back up in trip looks a positive move for Camden Flyer and she merits a second look, while the unexposed Maid Of Killybegs can also make her presence felt.

KALIEDOSCOPE EYES overdid things on the front end but still shaped as if in good form when fifth at Southwell (6f) 16 days ago and, effective at this longer trip, she's a lead player provided she settles better. Camden Flyer may well emerge as the lead threat.

Despite being the most exposed in the field KALEIDOSCOPE EYES also has the best form and is taken to make it 11th-time lucky.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 1st (2) (17/2 +39%) Alafdhal	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(2) Alafdhal 17/2, Course winner. Three wins from 26 runs last year. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. 12/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, weakening 2f out. Bounce back called for. On dangerous mark but he's been well held the last twice and losing run is now up to 17.
5 2nd (5) (9/4 +65%) State Of Madness	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(5) State Of Madness 9/4, 12/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 24 days ago, staying on having been left poorly placed. Not one to write off with his mark easing all the time. On reduced mark and he could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck.
1 3rd (1) (16/1 -14%) So Obsessed	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) So Obsessed 16/1, Recorded four wins from 13 runs last year but not operating at best at present, hanging badly left and ultimately eased off when 18½ lengths last of 8 to Desert Master in handicap at Southwell (5f) 5 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. C&D winner but she's been out of sorts this winter and needs a major revival.
8 4th (8) (15/2 -50%) Second Collection	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(8) Second Collection 15/2, 4-time course winner, the latest in refitted blinkers here in December. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago. Each-way claims again. Only 1lb higher than for her C&D win last month but was held here on Saturday.
3 5th (3) (4/1 -33%) Desert Master	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Desert Master 4/1, Resumed winning ways at Southwell in December and quickly dispelled a lesser effort at Newcastle, when successful at first-named venue 5 days ago, tackled final 1f and just holding on. Escapes a weight rise for that victory and possibilities again with a repeat. Escapes a penalty for his win at Southwell last Wednesday and he's a big player again.
6 6th (6) (14/1 -56%) Sir Benedict	14 14/1(-56%)	(6) Sir Benedict 14/1, Three wins between March and June last year and he shaped better than bare result after 7 months off when ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, headway when forced to switch final 1f and plugging on. Better showing anticipated. Multiple AW winner who had traffic issues here on his recent return; one to keep an eye on.
9 7th (9) (18/1 -125%) Next Second	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Next Second 18/1, 4-time C&D winner who returned to form from out of the blue when second in 6-runner handicap returned to this C&D 7 days ago. Now her task is to back that up. Four-time C&D winner who went close here last Monday; big player off same mark.
7 8th (7) (10/3 +17%) Hastily	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(7) Hastily 10/3, Latest win at Dundalk in December. 5/2, good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago, held up in rear and keeping on. Should give another good account. Won over 7f at Dundalk last month and was a good second over C&D on Saturday; shortlisted.

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

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

DESERT MASTER showed a likeable attitude when scoring narrowly over this trip at Southwell recently and, in what looks a trappy affair, he gets the nod to go in again without a penalty. State Of Madness was last seen finishing fifth over 6f here last month, but he wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and merits respect back at the minimum trip. Sir Benedict is also noteworthy.

SIR BENEDICT shaped better than the bare result after 7 months off in a C&D handicap a couple of weeks ago and, with that looking strong form for the grade, he could be worth chancing to build on that effort now. Irish-raider Hastily was a good second here on Saturday and she's a player with a repeat. Desert Master and State of Madness are others to consider.

The pick is DESERT MASTER (nap), who escapes a penalty for his front-running win at Southwell last week. Next Second is feared most.
