13:32 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

ARTISAN DANCER has been kept busy over the last few months and his admirable reliability could be rewarded now Jason Hart returns to the saddle in a bid to revive a previous winning partnership. Hart is 1-3 aboard Charlie Johnston's four-year-old and his familiarity with this habitual closer rates a key factor, with race tactics likely to be crucial in a field of this size. Captain Kane is feared most on his return, while Melakaz is also respected, despite a below-par effort over 2m latest.

Claims can be made for all 5 with the vote going to AQWAAM, who shaped as if still in top form over this C&D 3 weeks ago. Artisan Dancer also shaped better than the bare result when a close fourth at Lingfield on Sunday and is next best.

The most striking contender is ARTISAN DANCER, who went close at Lingfield on Sunday and has form figures of 222232 at this track.

14:02 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A winner of a classified stakes over this trip at Chelmsford and competitive in handicaps since, DUE DATE is tenacious when he puts his mind to a task and can strike again from a workable rating. Monsieur Fantaisie was a close third in that aforementioned Chelmsford race and is a notable contender under a penalty on debut for the Peter Niven yard. Higher Law has to be feared after running on to finish a respectable second behind an upwardly mobile rival here.

Despite remaining a maiden HIGHER LAW again ran well when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and a repeat from the same mark should see him bang there again. Monsieur Fantaisie ended a lengthy losing run in good style at Chelmsford recently and he's feared on debut for Peter Niven. Due Date may do best of the others.

The vote goes to MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who put in a dominant display at Chelmsford last week. Higher Law is feared most.

(2) Jumira Bridge 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. 28/1, below best when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 11 days ago. Return to this shorter trip rates a likely plus now.

(7) Jackmeister Rudi 7/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 8 in minor event (14/1) at this C&D 20 days ago, not looking entirely straightforward under pressure.
Dual turf winner but he's 0-12 on AW and was well held here on his return last month.

Doves Of Peace

3.5

(1) Doves Of Peace 7/2, Maiden who again ran creditably despite reverting to his free-going ways when third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/4) 18 days ago. Return to sprinting shouldn't inconvenience him and he's of interest.

Doc Sportello

8

(4) Doc Sportello 8/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 6 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Previous C&D second last month was more like it however and return to 6f a plus.
12yo but he went close over C&D on penultimate run and has claims on that form.

Peachey Carnehan

11/4(-38%)
(3) Peachey Carnehan 11/4, 5-time C&D winner who ended long losing run back down in trip when taking C&D handicap 25 days ago. Getting first run on the runner-up. Should give another good account up just 2 lb.

Griggy

14

Struggled over C&D on recent return and is now 0-15 for current yard; opposable.

14:32 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Molly Gunn was seen to good effect aboard DOC SPORTELLO when she guided the veteran to a creditable second over track and trip last month, and her 7lb claim could be a very useful asset in a race of this nature. Jumira Bridge boasts winning C&D form and is a must for the shortlist at this level, while Peachey Carnehan is just 2lb higher than for his own C&D success last month and also rates a leading contender.

DOVES OF PEACE has yet to get his head in front but has returned from a short break in good order, and with the drop back in trip unlikely to inconvenience him, he looks a player with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb. Peachey Carnehan, a multiple C&D winner, including on his latest start,and Jumira Bridge head the dangers.

Top of the list is PEACHEY CARNEHAN, who recorded his eighth win at this track when scoring over C&D last month.

15:02 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A 2lb rise for BRIGHT's C&D victory last month looks more than workable and a double could be on the cards for Mark Loughnane's gelding. Ice Cool Harry offered more encouragement after a 165-day break when posting a fair fourth at Southwell, with a 1lb drop in the ratings likely to help. He may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Muscika, who was just pipped at Lingfield last weekend.

MUSCIKA was only just denied at Lingfield on Sunday and this 3-time C&D winner looks ready to strike again. The progressive Bright looks the obvious threat.

Bright is respected but preference is for 16-time winner MUSIKA, who was only just caught off this mark at Lingfield on Sunday.

15:32 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

LOVEALOT BEAR defied market expectation when causing an upset on her Flat bow at Kempton. David Evans' mare did well to score from a position towards the rear, and Jordan Williams' 5lb claim can help her to record back-to-back victories. The returning Prince Maxi is interesting on his opening bid on the all-weather and he's feared most if improving on last season's sixth-placed debut at Newmarket. Sugar Hill and Silverbridge possess the ability to feature too.

PRINCE MAXI showed ability in what has turned out to be a strong Newmarket novice at the Craven meeting and he's taken to make a winning start for George Scott. Lovealot Bear defied massive odds when making a winning Flat debut at Kempton but there's no reason to doubt the form so she's next best under a penalty, while useful-hurdler Parramount warrants respect on his belated Flat bow.

The most interesting contender is PRINCE MAXI, who showed promise at Newmarket last spring and that form has worked out really well.

Ex-French 5yo; runner-up twice for new yard this winter but was quiet over C&D last time.

16:07 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

WADACRE GOMEZ won a shade cosily when making all at Chelmsford last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Charlie Johnston's colt from following up. Master Of Combat looked close to his best when a close-up third at Southwell recently and he is likely to be in the thick of the action once more, with a return to this distance promising to suit. Warren Hill may fare best of the rest.

Having eased a little in the weights, ARCADIAN NIGHTS found only a far less exposed sort too good on his latest outing over C&D 5 weeks ago and he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Master of Combat, Ernie's Valentine and Warren Hill head up the dangers in what rates a very competitive affair.

An open race in which the vote goes to WADACRE GOMEZ, who found more progress with his all-the-way win at Chelmsford last week.

16:37 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

OPTICIAN has been a revelation since joining the Shaun Lycett stable and a 3lb rise for his most recent success over C&D could prove lenient as he looks to land the hat-trick. The four-year-old is preferred to the likes of fellow C&D scorer Pysanka, as well as Optik, who arrives on a four-timer for his in-form connections. Others to note include At Liberty, Rubeus and Starfighter.

This is a strong race for the grade with several last-time-out winners, two of whom arrive on a sequence. The four-timer chasing OPTIK (who had a bit to spare last time) is marginally preferred to Optician, who bids to make it three from three for his current yard. Rubeus is also of interest.

A competitive Class 6. OPTIK (nap) is on a roll and, while it was a close call last time, he was only put into the race late on.

17:07 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of TOPLIGHT (fourth), who may have just under a length to find with Rockley Point (second) from their most recent clash over C&D last month but Chelsea Banham's charge has won here four times, which bodes well as he bids to reverse the form. Red Walls didn't seem to be suited by dropping back to this distance at Lingfield recently, but he was an authoritative winner over 6f on his penultimate start and cannot be overlooked.

ROCKLEY POINT has been in good order for a while and, having only been denied by a neck at Newcastle a week ago, he's worth a chance to go one better. Toplight and Red Walls are the only other pair that arrive in form, so they're the main dangers.

This can go to RED WALLS, who has won three times this winter and was a creditable third in a 5f handicap at Lingfield on Sunday.

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.
