Steel Helmet

7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(8) Steel Helmet 7.5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Step back in right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (16.6f, 9/1) 9 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.
Eyecatching fifth here last time but he's not easy to predict and last win was in 2019.

7.5/1(+38%)
(1) Victoriano 7.5/1, Went backwards from reappearance when well-held eleventh of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, soft, 20/1) 38 days ago. Blinkers reapplied and could fare better back up in trip returned to all-weather.
Missed last year and he's been out of sorts in both runs in 2023; needs a major revival.

8/1(+20%)
(6) La Belle Vie 8/1, Ran much better than on reappearance when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 12/1) 13 days ago, though better placed than most. Needs more to be able to take advantage of her falling mark.
On reduced mark but she's 0-14 and has generally struggled in last seven runs.

(4) Mr Rumbalicious 0.62/1, Made it back-to-back wins when landing 11-runner handicap at this course (16.6f, 11/4) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood.
Has won over 2m last twice and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip.

50/1(-127%)
(3) Adaayinourlife 50/1, Well below form last 2 starts, last of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (1m, 28/1) 8 days ago. Has enough to prove as he goes significantly up in distance.
Has struggled in last two runs and has plenty to prove at this new trip.
5
6th (5) Locksmith (6/1 +45%)
Locksmith

6
6/1(+45%)
(5) Locksmith 6/1, After 3 months off (had wind op) and with cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft, 18/1) 35 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to all-weather/longer trip.
Tailed off over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts and he's now 0-7.

Vaxholm

100
100/1(-186%)
(9) Vaxholm 100/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Struggling for form of late (including over hurdles), never a threat when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 28/1) 27 days ago.
Triple AW winner but he's yet to fire in four runs for new connections; others safer.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.1/1 (4) MR RUMBALICIOUS seems to be the strongest contender as he has won his last two races and is in good form. 2.75/1 (7) ALL ABOUT ALICE and 7/1 (8) STEEL HELMET could also be in the running for 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

Things have clicked into gear for MR RUMBALICIOUS, who arrives in search of a hat-trick. He battled on gamely to record the latest of those wins, which came here last month, and a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap shouldn't prevent him from mounting another serious challenge. Alan King's charge edges the vote over All About Alice, who was only a neck behind him at Lingfield. Steel Helmet is fancied to chase them home.

JENNY REN has had all 5 of her starts in 2023 at this course and has been holding her form well, successful in March before faring best of those held up when fourth on her latest outing. She is taken to see off the challenge of Mr Rumbalicious, who isn't taken lightly in his hat-trick bid, while All About Alice can also give another good account.

This can go to Alan King's hat-trick seeker MR RUMBALICIOUS, who won here last time and is only 2lb higher on this drop back in trip.

Outreach

66
66/1(-500%)
(6) Outreach 66/1, After 8 months off, ran to similar level as on debut when second of 3 in minor event (16/1) at this C&D 13 days ago, though flattered by proximity to odds-on winner. Improvement needed.
RPR of 62 in both his starts and he needs to find some improvement.
9
1st (9) Tatterstall (2.25/1 +36%)
Tatterstall

2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(9) Tatterstall 2.25/1, Placed 3 times last year, but upped in grade when 13¼ lengths fifteenth of 16 to Cold Case in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy (100/1) at Redcar (6f, good to soft). Off 7 months (gelded) ahead of tapeta debut. Merits consideration.
0-5 but just about sets he standard on his best 2yo form; respected on seasonal/AW debut.
3
2nd (3) Estate (2.25/1 -13%)
Estate

2.25
2.25/1(-13%)
(3) Estate 2.25/1, Fairly useful gelding. After 7 months off, third of 7 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good, 2/1) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and he can step up on his reappearance to get off the mark.
0-6 but his best form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on Tapeta debut.

3rd (2) Bright (3.5/1 +36%)
Bright

3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(2) Bright 3.5/1, Well-backed 9/4, possibly unsuited by conditions when sixth of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy) on debut 37 days ago. Should last longer this time around.
Well held as favourite on recent debut but he should know much more this time; in the mix.
7
4th (7) Popular Dream (11/1 -29%)
Popular Dream

11
11/1(-29%)
(7) Popular Dream 11/1, Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when last of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 7/2) 37 days ago. Had shaped well on debut so could get back on track away from testing conditions.
Promising third at Chelmsford in December but was disappointing at Nottingham last month.

5th (5) Ice Cool Harry (5/1 +41%)
Ice Cool Harry

5
5/1(+41%)
(5) Ice Cool Harry 5/1, Harry Angel gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Norse Dancer. Dam, 7f winner, closely related to smart 6f/7f winner Great Ambassador. Wears hood on debut. Watch for market clues.
Out of a well-related 7f winner; hooded for debut but he needs watching in market.

Rwenearlytheredad

25
25/1(+38%)
(8) Rwenearlytheredad 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. 40/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, late headway without being knocked about. One of 2 runners in the line-up for his trainer.
Has plenty to find and handicaps look the way forward after this.

Gimcrack Warrior

66
66/1(-32%)
(4) Gimcrack Warrior 66/1, Fared no better than first time up when seventh of 9 in minor event at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 40/1) 16 days ago. Needs another run for a mark.
Well-held seventh in two turf runs last month, with RPRs in 40s on both occasions.

Close Of Play

150
150/1(-436%)
(10) Close Of Play 150/1, After 6 months off, failed to repeat her first effort when ninth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago. It still remains early days, though.
Promising effort over C&D on debut but she struggled at Kempton on her return last month.
1
9th (1) Heavens Dew (150/1 -50%)
Heavens Dew

150
150/1(-50%)
(1) Heavens Dew 150/1, Went with little promise when ninth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 150/1) on debut in July. Easy enough to look elsewhere as she returns from 9 months off.
Showed very little at a massive price at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on her debut last June.
LTO Selection:

18:05 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st - 2/1 (3) ESTATE 2nd - 28/1 (10) CLOSE OF PLAY 3rd - 3.5/1 (9) TATTERSTALL

BRIGHT was too keen to do himself justice having been sent off favourite on his racecourse debut last month, but better was clearly expected and he could take a marked step forward with that run under his belt. Estate continues to run well in defeat and merits respect from a low draw, along with Popular Dream, who must be of interest back on an artificial surface. Harry Angel gelding Ice Cool Harry makes appeal on paper and is worth a market check ahead of his first start.

ESTATE ran to a fairly useful level when runner-up twice at 2 yrs and, having finished third on his reappearance 10 days ago, he could be ready to open his account this time around. Tatterstall also filled the runner-up spot on two occasions last year and is feared most having been gelded ahead of his return, with Bright completing the shortlist.

This looks a bit trappy but Andrew Balding's ESTATE gets the vote ahead of Tatterstall and Bright.

3.33/1(+49%)
(3) Sophia's Starlight 3.33/1, Below the form of her first 2 starts when eighth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 6/1) in November. Should still be suited by this trip on her return from 6 months off.
Has bit to prove on return but she looks interesting on her initial effort last season.

Dance Angel

(4) Dance Angel 6.5/1, Green but showed ability on debut when sixth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/1) in January. Entitled to progress with her first run behind her.
Never involved at Chelmsford in January and needs plenty of progress on her return.

14/1(-27%)
(6) Motasaleeta 14/1, 66/1 and with tongue strap on first time up, sixth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) in December, late headway having been very slowly away. Cheekpieces now applied after almost 5 months off.
Never involved at Chelmsford in December and she needs a big leap forward on her return.
7
4th (7) Mountain Lake (1/1 -37%)
Mountain Lake

1
1/1(-37%)
(7) Mountain Lake 1/1, Postponed filly. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Alqamar and smart winner up to 15f Moonlight Spirit. Very interesting on debut for top connections.
Interesting newcomer and she needs a close look for in-form yard.

5th (1) Love Is A Rose (5.5/1 -10%)
Love Is A Rose

5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(1) Love Is A Rose 5.5/1, Wearing a hood, showed ability despite needing the experience when sixth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 28/1) on debut in October. Capable of better after 7 months off.
Also hooded for debut at Newmarket last October when she was a well-held sixth of nine;.

Miss Maisiepaige

(2) Miss Maisiepaige 250/1, Showed little in a pair of minor events last year, last of 10 at Chelmsford City (7f, 400/1) in November. Cheekpieces on for 1st time but remains best watched.
Massive prices and finished a tailed-off last of ten in two novice events in the autumn.
LTO Selection:

18:40 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 0.73/1 (7) MOUNTAIN LAKE, being an interesting newcomer with good connections, may be a horse to watch. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the race is: 1) 0.73/1 (7) MOUNTAIN LAKE 2) 5/1 (1) LOVE IS A ROSE 3) 6.5/1 (3) SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT

Fresh from his success with Mawj in the 1000 Guineas, Saeed bin Suroor will be hopeful that MOUNTAIN LAKE can strike at the first time of asking. The daughter of Postponed has a stamina laden pedigree, but there is enough to suggest she can be effective at this trip. Dance Angel is feared most and is entitled to have come forward for her debut sixth at Chelmsford, while Sophia's Starlight makes some appeal too.

MOUNTAIN LAKE may have found a very good opening on debut. Love Is A Rose and Sophia's Starlight are interesting on their return.

The vote goes to Godolphin's newcomer MOUNTAIN LAKE, who has a striking pedigree and represents an in-form yard.

(3) Global Tycoon 16/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, always behind when eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 29 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Chris Dwyer. Could fare better with blinkers now applied.
Won off this mark last summer, albeit over 7f (unconvincing over further); blinkers go on..

Good Humor

7
7/1(+22%)
(6) Good Humor 7/1, Sixteen runs since his sole win back in 2021. 18/1, again below form when seventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D 43 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark back in handicap company, but he's hard to catch right.
1l second in a C&D classified, but otherwise operating below a winning level for a while..

Precedent

3.33

(4) Precedent 3.33/1, After 9 months off with cheekpieces applied, first run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when creditable second of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 50/1) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt.
Good start for current trainer when 50-1 second at Pontefract (1m); untried on Tapeta..

Shorts On

25

Tapeta scorer off 13lb higher in early 2022 but below that level since; tongue-tie added..

Getting there all too late again over 7f here last time, taking record to 0-41 overall..

14

0-14 and a bit to take on trust after proving reluctant to set off on recent return..
LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 9/1 (6) GOOD HUMOR and 1.5/1 (1) WALEYFA appear to be strong contenders, with 9/1 (6) GOOD HUMOR potentially leveraging a dangerous mark in handicap company and 1.5/1 (1) WALEYFA having a strong recent track record. 2.75/1 (4) PRECEDENT may also be worth considering as a possibility after a strong recent showing in a handicap, and 9/1 (3) GLOBAL TYCOON could potentially fare better with new blinkers. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and unexpected outcomes are always possible.

WALEYFA regained the winning thread at Chelmsford last Thursday and a 5lb penalty may not prevent a third success since joining the Alice Haynes yard. Precedent offered plenty to work with when runner-up on his stable debut at Pontefract and is feared most. Shorts On ran with more encouragement at Yarmouth recently and he shouldn't be underestimated if breaking better this time round.

Having had excuses for her previous run, WALEYFA quickly got back on track returned to all-weather when winning readily at Chelmsford 8 days ago and she can follow up under a penalty. Precedent showed encouragement on his seasonal/stable debut last time and can be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Global Tycoon.

This can go to whichever of WALEYFA and Precedent is best able to translate their recent good cheer on other surfaces to Tapeta.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 0.62/1 (2) WEDGEWOOD; 2nd: 6.5/1 (7) REWILDING; 3rd: 33/1 (5) HUCKLEBERRY

WEDGEWOOD has proved a different proposition since returning as a three-year-old, with two ready triumphs over C&D last month, and a hat-trick looks on the cards off only 5lb higher. Handicap debutant Rewilding is a big danger with the potential that the son of Night Of Thunder may come forward considerably this year. Zebadaay is also interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

WEDGEWOOD appears to be thriving and this is a thin race, so she's clearly the one to beat. Handicap debutant Rewilding is interesting, while Zebadaay could show more.

The one that stands out is Tony Carroll's WEDGEWOOD (nap), who has found plenty of improvement with her two C&D wins this spring.

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (1) BLUE YONDER seems to be the most likely to do well as it had a career-best win recently and is well in under the penalty. The horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd and 3rd places are: 1st - 2.25/1 (1) BLUE YONDER 2nd - 3/1 (3) INDICATION ROCKET 3rd - 5.5/1 (2) MAN MADE OF SMOKE

BLUE YONDER could not have won any easier at Beverley last time out and a 6lb penalty for that success may not be enough to prevent him going in again on his return to the all-weather. Man Made Of Smoke finally got off the mark over C&D last week and he can give him the most to think about, along with comfortable Newcastle scorer Indication Rocket.

One of a trio of last-time-out winners, BLUE YONDER improved when bolting up at Beverley 11 days ago and he gets the nod to come out on top again back on all weather. Indication Rocket may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Man Made of Smoke.

Well in under his penalty and with stamina assured, BLUE YONDER is preferred to Elterwater, pick of the seasonal debutants.

2.5/1(+17%)
(1) Gunnerside 2.5/1, Course winner. Eight wins from 29 Flat runs. 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago, easily. Remains of interest on old form and is thriving at present, so could take the beating.
Won here last month and he scored by 5l at Musselburgh last week; big player under penalty.

(8) Arlecchino's Gift 33/1, Course winner. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 17 days ago, not clear run. Hard to make a solid case for.
On much-reduced mark but he has plenty to prove and is untried at this trip.

6/1(-100%)
(2) Weloof 6/1, Course winner, 10/3, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 77 days ago. Should go well again, particularly if the market speaks in his favour after a break.
Won at Lingfield in February; 3lb higher back at 7f but has claims if he gets a good pace.

Overall record of 1-33 and he has some work to do in this competitive race.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 3/1 (1) GUNNERSIDE seems to be the most likely to do well. He has a recent win and is in good form, and is a course winner. 4.5/1 (5) CHIFA and 3/1 (2) WELOOF also have recent wins and are strongly respected, so they could also finish well. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 3/1 (1) GUNNERSIDE 2. 4.5/1 (5) CHIFA 3. 3/1 (2) WELOOF

CHIFA has become a regular winner over C&D of late, winning three of his last four, and a 5lb penalty for his most recent win looks manageable, especially with the form of that contest having already been franked in the interim. Gunnerside arrives with similar claims after scoring at Musselburgh last week, while Lingfield winner Weloof is another to note dropping in trip.

GUNNERSIDE has won two of his last three and is still well in on old form, so he gets the nod over fellow last-time-out scorers Chifa and Weloof.

Gunnerside is strongly respected but slight preference is for CHIFA, who has won over C&D in three of his last four runs.
