10/3(+17%)
(3) Sixties Chic 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in December. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 41 days ago. Not out of things dropping back in trip.
Held in Class 5 on last three starts but returning to this grade should be beneficial.

10/3(-48%)
(2) Back Tomorrow 10/3, Lightly-raced filly who has made a bright start switched to AW, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts when taking 7-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) 17 days ago. Handy draw to work from and sound claims from 4 lb higher mark.
2-3 on AW and she had a bit to spare at Southwell latest; strong claims up 4lb.

(10) Empress Of Bough 12/1, Winner at Dundalk in October. Tenth of 14 in handicap back at that venue (6f, 11/1) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.
1-18 in Ireland; not at her best last month and eligible for weaker races than this.

7/2(-5%)
(4) Glamorous Express 7/2, Latest win at Lingfield in November. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap back at that venue (5f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Worth another crack at this trip.
Returning to 6f can help & he's on a fair mark; draw could have been kinder.

(6) South Dakota Sioux 9/2, Course winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 10/1) 42 days ago, losing place home turn. Worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.
Course winner (7f); two contrasting runs for this yard but he has the ability to feature.

(7) All In The Hips 50/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 10 days ago. Needs to leave that behind if she's to figure here.
Below par here ten days ago and partnered by an inexperienced apprentice today.

Ballysax Lil' Mick

18/1(-50%)
(8) Ballysax Lil' Mick 18/1, Irish raider who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) in October, leading until 2f out and no extra. Absent since but he's another worth monitoring in the betting for positive vibes returned to handicaps.
0-12 in Ireland but has some pieces of form that make him of interest.

10th (5) Late Arrival (9/1 -13%)
Late Arrival

9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Late Arrival 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) in August. Absent since but returns to action on a potentially handy mark and the betting may prove a useful guide.
Well handicapped and betting can guide as to expectation levels back from six months off.

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

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

BACK TOMORROW has been in terrific form since switching to the all-weather and a 4lb rise of her most recent success at Southwell may not be enough to prevent her from following up. Stepping up in trip looks like a good move for Glamorous Express, having finished off well over shorter the last twice, while C&D winner Sixties Chic is another with the form to get involved.

BACK TOMORROW is less exposed than most and posted a career-best display to make it 2 wins from her 3 starts on AW at Southwell 17 days ago. She can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights and come out on top again. Sixties Chic, returned to 6f, and Glamorous Express head up the dangers, whilst Late Arrival and Ballysax Lil' Mick are others worth keeping an eye on.

Sixties Chic is a big player back into a Class 6 but the progressive BACK TOMORROW can go in again before having her sights raised.

El Hombre

11
11/1(-38%)
(6) El Hombre 11/1, Veteran. 3-time C&D winner. 12/1, took step back in right direction from easing mark when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, keeping on. Not ruled out in this sort of company.
Placed a couple of times this winter, including C&D latest; bit more needed to win.

2nd (4) Kitaab (7/2 +30%)
Kitaab

3.5
7/2(+30%)
(4) Kitaab 7/2, 11/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago, leading 1f out and hanging badly left. Can't be dismissed under a penalty for all he's not the easiest of rides.
Well on top latest despite hanging to his left; could have more to come as a sprinter.
1
3rd (1) Mumayaz (9/4 +59%)
Mumayaz

2.25
9/4(+59%)
(1) Mumayaz 9/4, Arrives on a lengthy losing run but consistency impossible to knock, again running with credit when fourth of 10 in handicap here (7.2f) 4 days ago. Equally effective at this shorter trip and highly likely he'll be thereabouts again.
Admirably consistent but he finds winning difficult; more minor money on the cards.
8
4th (8) Carlton And Co (13/2 -18%)
Carlton And Co

6.5
13/2(-18%)
(8) Carlton And Co 13/2, Just the one win from 22 starts but she comes here on the back of a good second behind a thriving sort at Newcastle (6f) 2 weeks ago, challenging final 1f and keeping on. Fancied to feature again from handy draw.
Chased home a thriving rival at Newcastle latest; unexposed in the visor; each-way shout.

5th (3) Revolucion (11/1 -47%)
Revolucion

11
11/1(-47%)
(3) Revolucion 11/1, Came in for a more patient ride when belatedly shedding maiden tag over C&D in December. Best effort since when third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago and each-way possibilities once more.
His one win from 20 starts came over C&D; often refuses to settle; each-way claims again.
5
6th (5) Warminster (12/1 -71%)
Warminster

12
12/1(-71%)
(5) Warminster 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 10 days ago.
Front-runner who has been knocking at the door for his new yard; drawn higher than ideal.
7
7th (7) Alafdhal (7/2 -56%)
Alafdhal

3.5
7/2(-56%)
(7) Alafdhal 7/2, Prolific on AW last winter and, having been re-united with this yard confirmed more positive signs from sliding mark when landing 11-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, by neck from Warminster. Remains with handicapping scope and big shout in follow-up bid.
Overcame adversity to win over C&D three weeks ago; still well treated up 2lb; big chance.

8th (2) Lewis Barnes (25/1 +0%)
Lewis Barnes

25
25/1(+0%)
(2) Lewis Barnes 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, matched pick of form in maidens when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 31 days ago. Eased 2 lb subsequently and he's far less exposed than most. One to note if market speaks in his favour.
Has hinted at ability over 7f here; drops in trip and class; betting can guide.

16:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ALAFDHAL deservedly regained the winning thread over C&D last time out, in a race that has worked out well since, and a 2lb rise could underestimate the six-year-old as he looks to notch up an eighth career victory. Similar comments apply to Kitaab, who got off the mark at Southwell recently and is likely to be thereabouts again under a 5lb penalty. Recent C&D winner Jumira Bridge and Revolucion cannot be ruled out either.

ALAFDHAL came in for a well-judged ride as he took advantage of an easing mark over C&D 3 weeks ago and, remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on his AW form last winter, he looks to hold sound claims in his follow-up bid. Carlton And Co, following her good second at Newcastle, and the ultra-consistent Mumayaz head up the dangers. Jumira Bridge is another to consider.

Competitive fare but ALAFDHAL still looks ahead of the handicapper and he can prove too strong for Carlton And Co.

13/2(-189%)
(1) Moe's Legacy 13/2, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (12/1) at Kempton (6f) 9 days ago. 6 lb penalty to carry now but holds strong claims nonetheless.
Won a 0-65 at Kempton last week; penalised but the only winner in the field; contender.

Poor form in 3 sprint runs this winter; faces more realistic task now but can't recommend.

(4) Hits The Front 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 125/1) 67 days ago, slowly away. Work to do on handicap debut.
Likely improver now handicapping at a low level but such progress is a requirement.

Hinted at ability over further; awkward head carriage latest & now blinkered; wide draw.

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

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

Now that the penny has dropped for MOE'S LEGACY after a taking success at Kempton, there should be plenty more to come from Ron Harris' filly under a 6lb penalty. She gets the nod at the expense of Southbank, who is still finding his way since joining the Stuart Williams yard and may benefit from a recent gelding operation. Narrowly denied at Southwell on her penultimate start, Nevzilla can have a say in proceedings as well.

MOE'S LEGACY found improvement when opening her account at Kempton last week and may be able to follow up. Rust E Boy and So Obsessed can also make their presence felt.

There should be more to come from SOUTHBANK and So Obsessed and the former gets the tentative vote.

50/1(+50%)

Two good efforts on Tapeta last month; more to come as he gains experience; big chance.

Half-brother to a 1m winner out of 6f winner (both in Australia); good yard; check betting.

17:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ALRAZEEN showed his very solid debut effort when finishing fourth at Kempton at huge odds was no fluke when getting off the mark over 1m3f at Southwell next time. Gay Kelleway's colt will find this tougher under a 7lb penalty, but he could prove up to the task. Trojan Storm finished a close-up third at Southwell on his first start for the Ian Williams stable and he may have more to offer. Of the remainder, newcomer Sitcom appeals most.

TROJAN STORM matched his debut form starting out for his new yard without being seen to very best effect when third in a Southwell novice 3 weeks ago and, open to further progress, he can make it third time lucky. Alrazeen, who was successful on his latest outing, is another open to further progress and he rates the chief threat. Bas Bleu can do best of the remainder.

Bas Bleu and Sitcom are of interest but TROJAN STORM still has more to offer and he can make it third time lucky.

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MR TIBBS didn't show anything on either of his first two starts, but he showed improvement when finishing an eye-catching third over C&D last month and Mark Loughnane's gelding is taken to defy an opening rating of 52. Birkie Boy was two lengths clear of the third in this grade at Kempton earlier in the month and he has to be considered off a 2lb higher mark, while Clionia can fight it out for minor honours in first-time cheekpieces.

BIRKIE BOY signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up at Kempton recently so gets the vote at the chief expense of Spyrothedragon, who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Newcastle last time and remains with few miles on the clock. In-form maiden Inawe appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

The tentative suggestion is handicap newcomer MR TIBBS, who doesn't look badly treated and may be able to show more in this sphere.

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Wadacre Gomez attempted to make all over C&D last week, but he was denied by over a length at the line into second, which was still a solid effort, so he has to be respected off a 1lb lower mark. However, preference is for FORCA TIMAO, who wasn't disgraced in third over track and trip earlier in the month. The son of Kessaar was dropped 1lb for that display and a drop in grade could help to get his head back in front. Civil Law is capable at this level and is another to note.

AL RUFAA has shaped better than the result twice since scoring here in November and he's worth chancing in the hope that things drop right. It's a competitive event, however and both Civil Law and Wadacre Gomez look formidable opponents.

Civil Law is solid but AL RUFAA (nap) had excuses last time and his course win in November was impressive.

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9.5f Race Class Flow

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

TONAL justified strong support in the market when opening his account over C&D on Saturday and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from recording a quick-fire double. Strategic Fortune only faltered in the dying strides on his runner-up effort over track and trip in December and John Butler's gelding could serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Muhalhel.

The unexposed TONAL had a bit in hand over C&D last week and can defy the penalty under Billy Loughnane. The Hollie Doyle-ridden Muhalhel was a good second over a slightly shorter trip here last time and is feared most ahead of John Butler's Strategic Fortune.

The selection is TONAL who got off the mark over C&D six days ago and gave the impression there is still further improvement in him.

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF YORK was compensated for his creditable efforts in defeat when scoring with ease at Southwell earlier this month. The combination of a 5lb penalty and 1lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to prevent the Kingman gelding from going in again, with fellow last-time-out winner Beauty Choice spearheading the challenge. C&D scorer Ciotog often gives his running at this venue and is also expected to make his presence felt.

CIOTOG was again not seen to best effect when third at Southwell last month, never nearer having been caught further back than ideal, so he is taken to get his head back in front having dropped below his last winning mark. Heading the list of dangers is King of York, who is respected under a penalty, while Beauty Choice could also be thereabouts once more.

The vote goes to BEAUTY CHOICE who narrowly recorded his third course win in a stronger contest four weeks ago.

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM gave his supporters a scare when only getting up in the shadows of the post on his most recent outing. That was his second victory in the space of three days and a hat-trick could be on the cards off only 6lb higher in this contest. The selection has yet to race over this far, which brings fellow in-form rivals Green Power and Fox Power into the reckoning as well.

GREEN POWER did well to peg back one that got first run on him at Kempton 23 days ago and a 2 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Fox Power and Kaaranah head the opposition.

Preference is for GREEN POWER who appeared to benefit from a return to hold-up tactics at Kempton last time.

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.
