(6) Nine Tenths 15/8, Smart filly who ended 2023 with a C&D handicap win. Respectable 1¾ lengths second of 5 to Dear My Friend in listed race (5/4) at Lingfield (1m) 34 days ago. Should go well.
Unexposed and progressive 4yo; should give it another good go.

3rd in this race in 2022; encouraging stable debut but he'll need more to win here.

(5) Shouldvebeenaring 9/4, Smart colt. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 14 to Kelina in Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, good to firm, 35/1). Off 160 days. Leading claims.
Hard to oppose if reproducing his turf best but that wouldn't be guaranteed.

80/1(-100%)
(2) Intervention 80/1, Racked up a 4 timer to end 2023, including 2 wins over C&D. Four good placed efforts to start 2024 but his last 2 runs suggest a busy winter may have finally caught up with him.
Four wins in late 2023, two of them over C&D; has the worst chance at the weights.

10/3(+17%)
(1) Doctor Khan Junior 10/3, On a roll this winter, producing a smart handicap performance to make it 4 wins in a row over C&D last month. Well worth his place at a higher level.
Thriving in 7f handicaps on Tapeta; shouldn't be underestimated despite tricky terms.

Mums Tipple

11/1(-175%)
(4) Mums Tipple 11/1, Smart gelding who won this in 2021. Should be sharper for a recent reappearance run at Lingfield but Shouldvebeenaring has to be considered the stable number one.
Won this race in 2021; luckless run in the straight at Lingfield latest; contender.

14:40 Wolverhampton Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Provided SHOULDVEBEENARING is ready to go following a 160-day absence, he is the one to beat. Richard Hannon's four-year-old, who finished an excellent third in the Prix de la Foret after being touched off in the Sprint Cup at Haydock, has upwards of 9lb in hand on official ratings and he can resume progress now dropped in class. Doctor Khan Junior has proven himself to be a progressive handicapper and might be capable of better yet, while Nine Tenths is most appealing of the remainder.

SHOULDVEBEENARING ran a couple of crackers at Group 1 level in the autumn and can provide the Richard Hannon yard with a third win in this since 2020. Nine Tenths can give him most to do ahead of the thriving Doctor Khan Junior.

Shouldvebeenaring may be vulnerable on AW after a break and MUMS TIPPLE is preferred. Doctor Khan Junior is next best.

Kingdom Come

2.75
11/4(+39%)
(3) Kingdom Come 11/4, Low-mileage 5-y-o who won 3 of his 6 starts last year and solid return second conceding weight to a thriving sort over 7f here last month. Shaped better than bare result when third of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago and he's one to be interested in.
Good AW record; shaped well when keeping on for third over 1m at Lingfield last week.

Final Voyage

7
7/1(-27%)
(7) Final Voyage 7/1, Irish raider. 3-time C&D winner who has gradually worked his way back to full fitness on AW in recent months, proving at least as good as ever returned to 1m when getting on top late on at Dundalk (1m) 2 weeks ago. Worth a second look with William Buick aboard.
Took nice prize in Britain last Easter; back to winning ways at Dundalk latest; drawn wide.

3rd (9) Benacre (8/1 +50%)
Benacre

8
8/1(+50%)
(9) Benacre 8/1, Three-time winner (all 7f) as a juvenile. Unable to add to his tally on AW/turf last year, stopping quickly when trailing in last of 9 at Ascot (12f) in September. Gelded ahead of return and the handicapper has relinquished his grip.
Ended last year on a low note; gelded ahead of reappearance back down in trip.

King's Code

5.5
11/2(+21%)
(8) King's Code 11/2, Real success story for his yard, finding further progress when enhancing his excellent strike rate when winning 11-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/3) 20 days ago, keeping on well. Assessor applies a little more pressure but further progress not out of the question.
Chasing hat-trick after 1m wins at Southwell and Kempton; should go well again.
5
5th (5) Rainbow Fire (12/1 -20%)
Rainbow Fire

12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Rainbow Fire 12/1, Quickly developed into a very useful 7f handicapper for this yard, adding to his tally at Haydock last spring before a creditable midfield effort in Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July. Not disgraced at Ascot (1m) when last seen in August and his record fresh is worth noting. Yard in good form.
On a workable mark if reviving after break (has good record fresh); one to consider.

Sir Busker

12
12/1(-50%)
(2) Sir Busker 12/1, Smart performer who landed Group 2 York Stakes in 2022. Winless since but he arrives having run well on each of his last 3 starts on AW, respectable fourth in Winter Derby Trial at Southwell (11.1f) 44 days ago. Versatile as regards trip and not discounted back in handicap company.
Placed twice in AW handicaps this winter and ran well in 1m3f conditions race latest.

Smoky Mountain

7
7/1(+0%)
(11) Smoky Mountain 7/1, Steadily progressive 4-y-o who doubled career tally over 7f here in January. Edged out only late on by King's Code at Southwell next time and he again ran well behind an enterprisingly ridden winner at Newcastle (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
Two 7f wins here this winter and pushed King's Code close over 1m in Jan; not discounted.

Chasing Aphrodite

28/1(-133%)
(6) Chasing Aphrodite 28/1, Proved better than ever on the back of a wind op when making a winning return at Ascot (1m) last term. Shaped as if amiss both starts thereafter last summer so market may prove a useful guide returning from 6 months off.
Returned from wind op to win at Ascot last May but tailed off both subsequent runs.

Tacarib Bay

12
12/1(-20%)
(1) Tacarib Bay 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 15/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap back at that venue (6f) 68 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and likely he'll give another good account (fifth in this race 12 months ago).
Won 6f AW Listed in November but held in handicaps since and only fifth in this last year.

Sudden Ambush

14

(10) Sudden Ambush 14/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year and granted run of the race, made a winning return in 7-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 31 days ago, all out to hold on. Only up 1 lb for that but more on his plate in any case.
Only nudged up 1lb for narrow Kempton win and yard does well in this race.

11th (4) Zealot (25/1 -39%)
Zealot

25
25/1(-39%)
(4) Zealot 25/1, The all-weather success story of last winter, adding to his most impressive strike rate at Chelmsford (10f) 12 months ago. Seemingly finding his feet back from an absence in 2 recent outings but interesting connections opt for refitted cheekpieces now and his mark is easing.
Won seven times last winter; not at best in two comeback runs but back on winning mark.

15:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Following a successful turf campaign, KING'S CODE has progressed further on the all-weather over the winter. A narrow victor at both Southwell and Kempton, kicking clear with the runner-up at the Sunbury circuit most recently, David Evans' charge is fancied to shrug off a 5lb hike and complete his hat-trick. Sudden Ambush made a successful reappearance at Kempton and, given that he should improve for that run, a 1lb rise could be lenient. Irish raider Final Voyage defeated a subsequent winner at Dundalk and must be respected.

KINGDOM COME has twice shaped well upon returning to action, left with a hopeless task from his position when third behind a thriving sort at Lingfield (1m) last week. Still one to be interested in from this sort of mark, he could be the answer under Rossa Ryan, with Smoky Mountain and Irish-raider Final Voyage heading up the dangers. Rainbow Fire, back from a break, is another worth a second look.

Clive Cox's KINGDOM COME (nap) shaped well tackling 1m for the first time when third in a warm race at Lingfield and gets the nod.

(1) Siempre Arturo 2/1, 10f Chelmsford City maiden winner before posting a very good second of 5 in minor event (5/6) at Southwell (11.1f) 51 days ago. Makes handicap debut and expected to be bang there.

3lb higher than when winning over C&D last time; another big run seems likely.

Open to improvement now handicapping and pedigree suggests the longer trip should suit.

15:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SIEMPRE ARTURO was conceding 29lb to the now 78-rated Alrazeen when filling the runner-up spot at Southwell in January, so the son of Outstrip appears to have been well placed from an opening mark of 70. Harbour Vision arrives on the back of a comfortable C&D triumph and he is just 3lb higher now. English Spirit also remains on a competitive mark and looks set to be involved, along with the consistent Sense Of Worth.

Low-mileage 4-y-o SIEMPRE ARTURO looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark so gets the vote in this competitive handicap. Fellow handicap debutant Sycamore Gap could emerge as the main threat if, as expected, taking a step forward now his stamina is drawn out more. Course-winners Harbour Vision and Percy Willis need factoring in too.

The vote goes to ENGLISH SPIRIT who may appreciate going back up in trip having won over C&D off 1lb higher a year ago.

(2) At Liberty 2/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. 11/4, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 2 days ago. Back down in trip. Impressive at this track on penultimate outing and no surprise if he's back on track despite another quick turnaround.
Convincing winner over 1m4f here last week; respected if still as effective over this trip.

16:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CIOTOG returned from a short break with a sterling effort when a half-length second over the extended mile here last week and, with the longer distance not expected to be a problem, the six-year-old can go one better, despite being nudged up 1lb. C&D winner Lafan is feared most, although Sea Of Charm also commands respect, despite this trip potentially being on the sharp side.

CIOTOG gave an indication that he's back in form and ready to defy his reduced mark when second here a week ago, so he's preferred to At Liberty, who can shake off a lesser run at Lingfield a couple of days ago. Several others arrive in form, including Sea of Charm and Plumette.

The vote goes to LAFAN who gave the impression he would relish stepping back up in trip when third over 7f at Chelmsford last time.

(8) Ferrous 10/3, Confirmed previous promise when successful at Goodwood (5f) in May. Seen only twice thereafter, unable to land a blow in ultra-competitive Newmarket handicap won by Quinault final start in July. Gelded ahead of return and this 4-y-o remains relatively unexposed. Respected.
Absent for 8 months but down in class and he could still have his best days ahead of him.

Knebworth

(7) Knebworth 13/2, Dual winner on turf last summer and ended the campaign in good form, runner-up in handicaps at Haydock/Lingfield final 2 starts. Returns from 4 months off with yard amongst the winners and this return to 6f promises to suit. Interesting.
Two turf wins last summer; second off this mark when last seen; capable of going well.

7/1(-40%)
(1) Bosh 7/1, In good form in recent months and justified good support to land first race since his 2-y-o days at Chelmsford (6f) in January, leading final 50 yards. Creditable fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f0 since and possibilities for all his draw may not be ideal.
Comes here in good form and he's one to consider despite his double-figure stall.

Changed hands for just £3,000/gelded and proved he retains fair level of ability on belated return when third of 6 in minor event at this course (5.1f, 2/1) on UK debut 54 days ago. Return to this trip could help now handicapping.

Five-time winner but untried over sprint trips and he has the widest stall.

(5) Rousing Encore 20/1, Capitalised on much-reduced mark when edging out Baldomero over C&D in December, well ridden from the front. Not so good when fourth of 6 in handicap back here since and work to do if he's to adopt a prominent role from wide draw on this occasion.
C&D winner in December but held back here last time and not ideally drawn.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A handy draw in stall four puts BALDOMERO in a good position to track the pace and, assuming he runs his usual race, the six-year-old can pounce with a late surge. Rousing Encore made all when he edged out the selection by a neck here in December but that was just a seven-runner affair and, off 1lb higher and drawn much wider, it would take a big effort to hold on this time. Knebworth and Bosh are a couple of others to consider.

Claims can be made for plenty and it could be worth siding with one of the 4-y-os in the shape of KNEBWORTH. A dual winner on turf last summer, he ended the campaign with good placed efforts, and with the step back up in trip a plus, he could well make use of a handy inside draw. Baldomero wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield 8 days ago and he's a threat. Ferrous and Bosh are just another couple to consider.

Al Barez is feared despite his wide draw but FERROUS is dropping in class for his reappearance and could well have more to come.

14/1(-115%)
(3) Queues Likely 14/1, Landed a 5f maiden on turf last summer and improved for switch to AW during second half of last year, landing back-to-back novice events (latterly over C&D) in December. More on her plate however returned to handicaps from much-inflated mark.
Chasing a hat-trick but 14lb higher than for her most recent handicap run.

Miguel

5/1(-25%)
(6) Miguel 5/1, Winner of a 7f maiden at Brighton and a 1m nursery at Ripon last summer and had excuses on account of the ground when well held final 2 starts. Gelded ahead of return and yard have been amongst the winners from limited runners so far this year.
Front-runner; ended 2023 with two poor runs on slow ground; gelded since; can bounce back.

10/11(+48%)
(4) Quiet Resolve 10/11, Showcasing colt who continued theme of race-by-race progress when opening his account in a Newcastle maiden (7f) 25 days ago, well served by the increase in trip and displaying a good attitude. May do better still now handicapping.
Improved for 7f when winning at Newcastle last month; more to come now handicapping.

Master Franca

10
10/1(-25%)
(7) Master Franca 10/1, Son of Kodiac who improved for step up to this trip when successful at odds of 40/1 at Lingfield in October. 3 lb rise seemed to catch him out when third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) later that month, though. Absent since.
40-1 winner at Lingfield in October; similar form next time; this looks tougher.

5th (1) Neapolitan (7/2 +50%)
Neapolitan

3.5
7/2(+50%)
(1) Neapolitan 7/2, Winner in novice company at Kempton (6f) in October and built on that effort to fill runners-up spot next 3 starts. Not quite so good of late, fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/2) 31 days ago.
Effective over C&D and likely to give his running; one for the shortlist.
5
6th (5) Ippotheos (12/1 -50%)
Ippotheos

12
12/1(-50%)
(5) Ippotheos 12/1, Landed a gamble on debut for his shrewd yard over 6f here in December. Exploits have been mixed in handicaps since though, only third of 4 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago having dictated the pace. Drops back in trip now.
6f win here on stable debut in December; not kicked on in handicaps since.

17:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

QUIET RESOLVE posted a very professional effort when overcoming a regally-bred odds-on shot at Newcastle and rates a serious player now stepping into handicap company off a highly workable mark. There are dangers aplenty, however, and the likes of the hat-trick seeking pair Queues Likely and Mereside Madness enter calculations based on their potential for further progression. Top-weight Neapolitan adds further spice in a tough one to call.

QUIET RESOLVE continued his theme of race-by-race progress and proved determined in the process when edging out a promising newcomer at Newcastle over this trip 25 days ago. Open to further progress on that evidence, he's expected to go well again on handicap debut. Miguel is another who may yet have more to offer as a 3-y-o.

A return to form is on the cards for Miguel but QUIET RESOLVE looks to have been let into handicaps lightly.

Rocking Tree

2.5
5/2(+0%)
(5) Rocking Tree 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden who displayed race-by-race progress on first 3 starts as a juvenile, runner-up in a Navan maiden (1m) in October. Heavy ground a plausible excuse at Leopardstown final start and respected now starting out for new yard.
Solid form chance on close second at Navan last autumn; of obvious interest for new yard.

(1) Arctic Dawn 6/4, Blue Point colt who appeals on paper and, much tighter in betting, improved on debut form when second of 8 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 3 weeks ago, making headway final 1f and staying on. Will go on improving and increase in trip a plus now. Respected.
Bred to be useful; plenty of improvement when second at Kempton; may well go one better.

(3) Great Chieftain 11/2, €170,000 purchase who produced a promising first effort amidst obvious signs of inexperience when fifth of 10 in novice event at Newmarket (7f) on debut in November, keeping on. Very much the type to improve as a 3-y-o.
Clear signs of ability when fifth on only 2yo start; could improve a bundle on that.

(2) Eulace Peacock 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden who ran right up to best from the front when second of 9 in a Newcastle maiden (6f) in November, ridden over 1f out and headed close home. Should be thereabouts again.
Five-race maiden; consistent form in second half of 2023; likely to make another bold bid.

Weak in market and no promise when last of eight at Kempton; needs significant improvement.

18:10 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GREAT CHIEFTAIN was the subject of betting support when finishing fifth on his introduction at Newmarket back in November and, with that experience under his belt, the son of Gleneagles gets the vote to open his account here. Arctic Dawn left his ordinary debut effort well behind when a running-on second after being slowly away over 6f at Kempton, and he may emerge as the biggest danger to the selection. Rocking Tree has moved to the in-form George Boughey team and he commands attention, especially if the market speaks favourably.

An open-looking novice event with the vote in favour of GREAT CHIEFTAIN. The son of Gleneagles shaped with plenty of promise amidst obvious signs of inexperience when fifth on debut at Newmarket in November and he's just the type to flourish as a 3-y-o. Rocking Tree, on debut for George Boughey, and Arctic Dawn, who looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip, head the dangers.

Eulace Peacock and Rocking Tree have plenty of experience but ARCTIC DAWN probably has more potential.

18:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

CON TE PARTIRO scored cosily when sporting first-time-cheekpieces (retained) on his handicap debut over a mile at Kempton and, nudged up just 2lb, he gets the vote to come home in front once more. Rising Force wasn't seen to best effect after being slowly away and held up off a steady pace over C&D last month, and he must not be written off yet. The step back up in trip should suit Mr Tibbs and he warrants a second look. Sunblock won here before disappointing at short odds over 7f at Newcastle on Thursday but still commands respect now turned out quickly over a longer trip.

CON TE PARTIRO improved markedly to land a gamble on handicap debut at Kempton last time and a 2-lb rise is unlikely to be enough to stop him with further progress on the cards. Sunblock ran poorly at Newcastle a couple of days ago but is far from one to be writing off if she lines up. Rising Force should give his running once more.

This can go to CON TE PARTIRO who made a successful handicap debut at Kempton last month. He should be suited by this stiffer test.

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.
