1st (6) Moon Over The Sea (9/2 +47%)
Moon Over The Sea

4.5
9/2(+47%)
(6) Moon Over The Sea 9/2, Three wins (including at this course) from 13 runs last year. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 9 to the reopposing Calcutta Dream in minor event (10/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. Can give another good account.
Ties in with Calcutta Cream on Chelmsford running; has won under Rossa Ryan.

Egoiste

2.25
9/4(-13%)
(3) Egoiste 9/4, Off the mark at Chelmsford City (10f) in September and resumed his progress when second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (8f) a week ago, clear of rest. Major player as he goes back up in trip.
Clear second at Kempton last week; likely to go up in the weights when reassessed.

Nine Elms

28
28/1(-27%)
(2) Nine Elms 28/1, C&D winner. Struggled for form at the end of last year, ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 31 days ago. Edging back down in the weights but others still more persuasive.
Form tailed off towards end of his 2023 campaign.
5
4th (5) Calcutta Dream (5/2 +25%)
Calcutta Dream

2.5
5/2(+25%)
(5) Calcutta Dream 5/2, Built on promise of recent run when winning 9-runner minor event (5/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago, leading close home. Remains on a workable mark back in a handicap, so he's not taken lightly.
Began his 2024 campaign with a classified success at Chelmsford; in the mix.
8
5th (8) Gypsy Whisper (12/1 -20%)
Gypsy Whisper

12
12/1(-20%)
(8) Gypsy Whisper 12/1, Not discredited when fifth of 10 in minor event (12/1) at this course (8.6f) 10 days ago. Can give her running but she may just remain vulnerable for win purposes (last success came back in July 2022).
0-22 on AW but has gone close at Wolverhampton four times of late.

6th (9) Dark Company (22/1 -83%)
Dark Company

22
22/1(-83%)
(9) Dark Company 22/1, Operating below his best at present, fourth of 6 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. Others make more appeal.
Has something to find on balance of recent form.
12
7th (12) Captain St Lucifer (10/1 +29%)
Captain St Lucifer

10
10/1(+29%)
(12) Captain St Lucifer 10/1, Twenty-one runs since his sole success back in 2021. Respectable third of 8 in minor event (8/1) at this C&D 27 days ago. Capable of getting involved with cheekpieces back on.
Good chance on plenty of form but still has a poor strike-rate.
10
8th (10) Tiger Touch (125/1 -150%)
Tiger Touch

125
125/1(-150%)
(10) Tiger Touch 125/1, Fairly useful winner in France but has struggled for form in Britain, well-beaten fifth of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 80 days ago. Looks to be up against it.
Has shown nothing in two outings for new stable.
11
9th (11) Ok Pal (12/1 -33%)
Ok Pal

12
12/1(-33%)
(11) Ok Pal 12/1, On just his second start for current yard, back to form when third of 9 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.2f) 10 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort as he goes up in trip.
Placed over 7f here ten days ago, shaping as if he'll stay further.
4
10th (4) Urban Champion (20/1 -264%)
Urban Champion

20
20/1(-264%)
(4) Urban Champion 20/1, Not seen to best effect when last of 10 in handicap (11/4) at this course (12.2f) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Had shaped promisingly on his previous run, so he could bounce back returned to this shorter trip.
Best effort when second over C&D last May; interesting back in this scenario.

11th (1) Nelson River (100/1 -150%)
Nelson River

100
100/1(-150%)
(1) Nelson River 100/1, Course winner. Failed to come on for recent run when seventh of 8 in handicap (100/1) at this C&D 2 weeks ago. Has enough to prove at present.
Two poor efforts since returning from layoff.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9.5f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of EGOISTE, who wasn't beaten all that far over C&D on his penultimate start and was narrowly denied at Kempton over shorter subsequently. A mark of 51 still looks manageable and he might have too much for recent Chelmsford scorer Calcutta Dream, who attempts to uphold form with Moon Over The Sea (third). Runner-up on two of her last three starts here, Gypsy Whisper can also have a say in proceedings.

EGOISTE got back on the up when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at Kempton a week ago, pulling clear of the remainder, so he is taken to resume winning ways returned to this longer trip. Calcutta Dream made a successful start to the year at Chelmsford 18 days ago and is feared most, ahead of Urban Champion.

The vote goes to EGOISTE, who is effectively ahead of the assessor. Urban Champion is second choice.

1st (8) Fieldsman (7/1 -40%)
Fieldsman

7
7/1(-40%)
(8) Fieldsman 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in December. 7/2, creditable ½-length second of 9 to Sea The Buckthorn in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Not taken lightly.
In-form veteran; ties in closely with Sea The Buckthorn on C&D form ten days ago.
1
2nd (1) Seas Of Elzaam (2/1 +43%)
Seas Of Elzaam

2
2/1(+43%)
(1) Seas Of Elzaam 2/1, Course winner. Looked in need of run when leventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 66/1). Off 121 days (self-certified NR 3 times since last seen, latest Jan 18). Looks well treated on best form and any market support would be most notable.
Inconsistent since last win but market support should be heeded; back from break.
9
3rd (9) Dreamcasing (14/1 -75%)
Dreamcasing

14
14/1(-75%)
(9) Dreamcasing 14/1, C&D winner. Winner here in January. Creditable fifth of 9 in minor event (7/2) at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago. More needed back in a handicap.
In decent form at classified level this year, notably winning over C&D.
6
4th (6) Blue Collar Lad (9/4 +75%)
Blue Collar Lad

2.25
9/4(+75%)
(6) Blue Collar Lad 9/4, Not beaten far when eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days. Running respectably at present and he's not discounted.
Consistent RPRs since returned to AW; respected with Rossa Ryan up for first time.
10
5th (10) Sea The Buckthorn (15/2 -50%)
Sea The Buckthorn

7.5
15/2(-50%)
(10) Sea The Buckthorn 15/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 10 days ago by ½ length from Fieldsman. Nudged up only 1 lb and he's a leading player again.
Opened his account in similar event over C&D ten days ago, beating Fieldsman.
3
6th (3) Northbound (40/1 -150%)
Northbound

40
40/1(-150%)
(3) Northbound 40/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 125 days. First run for yard after leaving Julie Camacho. Now below last winning mark. Best watched.
Absent since September and now makes debut for new yard; check the betting.
4
7th (4) Kodebreaker (9/1 -13%)
Kodebreaker

9
9/1(-13%)
(4) Kodebreaker 9/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2023 but was placed 3 consecutive outings in December/January. Anticipated start and nearly unseated rider here last time, so is better judged on previous efforts and can make presence felt with cheekpieces back on.
Form dipped last time but is generally consistent; attractively weighted.
5
8th (5) Desert Boots (16/1 +0%)
Desert Boots

16
16/1(+0%)
(5) Desert Boots 16/1, Ungenuine type. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 18/1) 7 days ago. Visor back on. Uphill task.
Well below best in two runs for new stable this winter.
7
9th (7) Jumira Bridge (28/1 -211%)
Jumira Bridge

28
28/1(-211%)
(7) Jumira Bridge 28/1, Course winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, never nearer after missing break. Others more persuasive.
Raced mostly at sprint trips; sole 7f attempt came in 2016; something to prove.
2
10th (2) Evasive Power (20/1 -233%)
Evasive Power

20
20/1(-233%)
(2) Evasive Power 20/1, Course winner. 7/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 5 days ago, staying on near finish. Still not long with a yard who have good record with similar types and step back up in trip should suit, though widest draw is a concern.
Encouraging form for new yard this year; return to 7f looks ideal; possibilities.
12
11th (12) Monitola (66/1 -230%)
Monitola

66
66/1(-230%)
(12) Monitola 66/1, Good second at Chelmsford earlier in the month and perhaps found the race coming too soon when 14½ lengths last of 8 to Dreamcasing in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago. More needed back in a handicap nevertheless.
Did too much up front in the C&D event won by Dreamcasing.
11
12th (11) Isabelle (150/1 -500%)
Isabelle

150
150/1(-500%)
(11) Isabelle 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at this course (8.6f) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Hard to fancy.
Needs plenty of improvement for the switch to handicaps.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DREAMCASING didn't look suited by dropping back in trip at Newcastle recently, and he is better judged on his previous success over C&D. Grant Tuer's charge took to the track well on that occasion and he is narrowly preferred to recent C&D winner Sea The Buckthorn, who had the reopposing Fieldsman half a length back in second. Others to note include Evasive Power, Jumira Bridge and Kodebreaker.

SEA THE BUCKTHORN has looked more straightforward recently and Mark Usher's gelding is given the narrow verdict to follow up from his recent C&D win. Seas of Elzaam is particularly interesting in this company for the John Butler yard, whilst Fieldsman ran the selection close last time and should give another good account.

Off a favourable mark and with Rossa Ryan up for the first time, BLUE COLLAR LAD may be the answer. Kodebreaker is second choice.

Race The Wind

1.375
11/8(+15%)
(2) Race The Wind 11/8, Promising individual. 5/4, won 7-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) when last seen in July. Surely more to come for top stable.
Won at Newmarket when last seen; held a Group 1 entry at the time; leading player.

Spiritual Pursuit

6
6/1(+14%)
(7) Spiritual Pursuit 6/1, 2/1, second of 9 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on debut in June. Should have more to offer.
Front-running second at Beverley last June; one of the main players on that effort.

(4) Blue Virtue 15/8, Promising sort. Second of 12 in novice at Southwell (6f) 18 days ago, sticking to task. Leading claims with further progress likely.
Clear second at Southwell on latest 6f start; major contender provided she stays 7f.

Aurora's Beauty

4.5

(3) Aurora's Beauty 9/2, 600,000 gns Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Chindit and 1m winner Head Chef. Dam 7f winner. Race The Wind presumably the stable first string but this one still needs keeping a close eye on in the betting.
600,000gns yearling; half-sister to Chindit; stablemate of Race The Wind; interesting.

No Nay Never filly; from a family that has served her connections well.

Fitting of tongue-tie needs to make a big difference.
11

100
100/1(-525%)
(11) Wren House 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/4, eleventh of 13 in novice at Kempton (1m) 26 days ago. Hooded first time. The fact she went off so short in the betting at Kempton suggests she's thought capable of better.
Down the field in both runs; hood enlisted.

Venus Slipper

40

First foal of a Listed-placed 7f/1m AW winner; check the betting.

(6) Ratification 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Showed a bit on Kempton debut. Pulled up at Chelmsford (7f) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
Something was amiss last time; debut form is modest.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The Charlie Appleby team seems to hold the key to this race and the vote goes to RACE THE WIND, who seems to be the first string with James Doyle aboard. A taking winner at Newmarket last summer, there should be plenty more to come from the daughter of Too Darn Hot, with stablemate and newcomer Aurora's Beauty looking best placed to chase her home as a half-sister to multiple Group winner Chindit. Blue Virtue should relish going up in trip after a highly creditable runner-up effort at Southwell.

BLUE VIRTUE took a nice step forward from her debut when second at Southwell recently and is selected to make the most of the weight she receives from previous winner Race The Wind. The other Charlie Appleby runner Aurora's Beauty is one of a few interesting newcomers who need checking out in the betting.

Charlie Appleby holds a strong-looking hand with leading form contender RACE THE WIND and interesting newcomer Aurora's Beauty.

(4) Midnight Margarita 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 125/1) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and needs to raise her game.
Looks open to improvement now handicapping and upped in trip.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

BRADMAN easily accounted for Northgate (second) and Rubio De Oro (third) when getting off the mark over this trip at Southwell 18 days ago and Charlie Fellowes' gelding can confirm that form, despite a 6lb rise in the ratings. The pair that chased him home on that occasion can do so once again, in the same order, in a contest that lacks depth.

This is likely to be a re-run of the Southwell handicap in which BRADMAN easily dispatched with Northgate and Rubio de Oro. A 6 lb rise is unlikely to be anywhere near enough to prevent the winner from going in again.

The rematch between BRADMAN, Northgate and Rubio De Oro is the strongest form element of this race.

Six-race maiden who has one standout effort; not a solid option.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

The consistent INVERLOCHY made it three victories from her last four starts when scoring at Lingfield a fortnight ago and the daughter of Oasis Dream makes plenty of appeal in her bid to continue her excellent run of form. Intoxicata is respected following her Newcastle victory, while Avon Light and Clipsham Gold are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

INVERLOCHY looks the way to go on the back of her recent Lingfield success, although both Intoxicata and Enola Grey need factoring in too.

The consistent CLIPSHAM GOLD is taken to record her first win since joining Dylan Cunha. Avon Light is second choice.

12/1(-100%)
(1) How Hard Can It Be 12/1, Off 5 months before fading eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 37 days ago. Down in trip. Has good chance on pick of form.
Raced mainly at middle distances; something to prove over this trip.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

INEXPLICABLE won a handicap over C&D before his second in a classified event at Southwell on Thursday, and a reproduction of either of those efforts could easily see him come home in front here. Havana Goldrush's last couple of performances offer some encouragement given how weak this race appears to be. The rest all need to improve, but Olympic Quest has an each-way chance.

INEXPLICABLE has a fine record round here and is taken to bag an eighth C&D success on the back of his good recent Southwell second. How Hard Can It Be should take a step forward from his Lingfield eighth after an absence and rates the main danger, with C&D winner Havana Goldrush also in the picture.

On current form INEXPLICABLE holds the strongest claims, ahead of Havana Goldrush. Portraitist completes the shortlist.

2-33 but a staying-on fourth at Lingfield last time and this track may suit better.

LTO Selection:

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

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

The tongue-tie/visor combination looks to have improved WHITE MIST recently and, despite a further 1lb rise, the in-form filly looks sure to mount another bold bid. Arlecchino's Gift has gone close on his latest couple of starts and he is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while My Boy Jack and Sisters In The Sky are others to note in a seemingly wide-open handicap.

Having slipped down the weights SISTERS IN THE SKY has been shaping as though his turn may be near of late and he gets the nod, for all that he isn't absolutely guaranteed to get the strong pace that he ideally needs. That is an even bigger concern in the context of My Boy Jack but he is nevertheless feared most ahead of Arlecchino's Gift and White Mist.

The vote goes to WHITE MIST (nap) who has been transformed by the visor in her last two starts, finishing first and second over C&D.

Went close over C&D last month but two lesser efforts have followed and she's now 0-22.
LTO Selection:

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

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

First-time cheekpieces appeared to do the trick when SMASHER opened his account over C&D two weeks ago and providing they have the same desired effect, he looks capable of defying a 2lb rise. Q Twenty Boy landed a classified event here recently and is an obvious danger on his handicap return, while Higher Law also has a chance if on one of his going days.

SMASHER finally got his head in front here a fortnight ago, the fitting of cheekpieces doing the trick, and he can go well again if the headgear works for a second time. Q Twenty Boy also scored over C&D last time and is respected back in a handicap. May Remain could also feature.

The vote goes to SMASHER, who hit a personal best with his breakthrough win over C&D two weeks ago and is only 2lb higher.

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.
