LTO Selection:

14:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 1.1/1 (3) RAZZAM is likely to do well based on their recent performance and their odds being well backed. One possible order for the top three finishers could be: 1st - 1.1/1 (3) RAZZAM, 2nd - 16/1 (8) FITZROY RIVER, 3rd - 8/1 (9) DUE DATE.

Tallulah Myla was an easy winner at Chelmsford in early April but failed to follow up when sent out quickly again under a penalty at Kempton, where the wide draw and short rest between races were seemingly her undoing. She might do better now after a break, but the form of RAZZAM may hold sway. Fifth to Desert Cop (won on All-Weather Championships day at Newcastle) at Kempton in February, he followed that with a neck second on his handicap bow 10 days ago and the improving colt could prove too good for these, despite a 3lb rise. Miss American Pie is another of interest dropping from Listed class on only her third start and she could have more to come.

RAZZAM improved when headed close home on his handicap debut at Newcastle and can go one place better here. Tallulah Myla had excuses at Kempton and is worth another chance. Due Date is also in the mix.

Roger Varian's RAZZAM went close on his recent handicap debut at Newcastle and may well be able to make his breakthrough here.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well based on the information provided, as many are newcomers with little or no track record. However, based on the information given, some possible contenders for the top three positions could be: 1. 2/1 (4) MEDIATE ALEXANDER - This filly has an impressive pedigree and is described as a

Mediate Alexander looks interesting as an unraced daughter of Kodiac and she is well worth a market watch ahead of her first start, a comment that also applies to Fistral Beach, a 30,000gns yearling who has the benefit of Billy Loughnane in the saddle. Both could go well but a chance is taken on the once-raced LADY SHOWCASING, who showed speed before weakening quickly on a softer surface at Beverley last month and may find the Tapeta here much more to her liking.

Clive Cox's MEDIATE ALEXANDER makes plenty of appeal on breeding and gets the vote, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Alice Haynes has been among the 2-y-o winners so Villas Bullet would rate a threat if the market suggests she's fancied. Lady Showcasing showed up well for a long way on her Beverley debut and is another to consider.

The market should be informative but at this stage the vote goes to Clive Cox's well-bred newcomer MEDIATE ALEXANDER.

Won here in December and he's respected under a penalty on this step up in trip.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 1.2/1 (1) INTRICACY is mentioned as a

Just a small field but an intriguing contest nonetheless, and one that may go the way of LOVING FEELING, a son of Sea The Stars who was caught a little flat-footed over 10 furlongs at Windsor on his debut before running on into third. This longer trip looks ideal for his second start and he gets 7lb from course scorers Intricacy and Majestic Warrior, both of whom carry a winner's penalty.

INTRICACY looked a good prospect in 2 runs here over 8.6f last season and he is the one to beat even with a penalty. Majestic Warrior is also a penalised winner with the potential for more, and he's second choice ahead of Loving Feeling.

The vote goes to LOVING FEELING, who was a promising third at Windsor and could take a major step forward on his second start.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 4/1 (4) SUPASPECIALAWESOME 2nd: 4/1 (3) MAGICAL MERLIN 3rd: 1/1 (1) ANIMATE

BOY BROWNING may not have handled softer conditions on his return at Goodwood last Saturday and with the handicapper dropping him 3lb for a seemingly excusable performance, the son of Brazen Beau could bounce back on his all-weather debut. Supaspecialawesome gained a first success here in December and is capable of better, while Animate appeals most of the remainder.

None of the quintet can be ruled out but ANIMATE looks handily weighted on his winning juvenile form and is worth forgiving his reappearance Haydock sixth when going too freely. He gets the nod dropped back in trip now, ahead of in-form Magical Merlin and C&D scorer Supaspecialawesome.

This can go to Hugo Palmer's SUPASPECIALAWESOME, who won a C&D novice in December and is open to more progress on his handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 2.25/1 (5) BOBBY JOE LEG seems to have the strongest chance of finishing in the top three, being a specialist at the track and returning to form in his last race. 2.75/1 (1) CALIN'S LAD also has a strong record at the track and has recent wins under his belt, making him a key player. As for the third spot, it could be a close call between 8/1 (6) MASHAAN and 12/1 (8) CATESBY, both having shown promise in their recent runs despite not being top contenders. 6/1 (7) NEFARIOUS, 12/1 (2) AMBER DEW, 9/1 (3) RUMNOTRED, and 12/1 (4) GLOBAL ROMANCE seem to have less of a chance of finishing in the top three.

BOBBY JOE LEG returned to form when just denied at Southwell last Monday following a disappointing effort on turf at Doncaster and the booking of Luke Morris could make the difference required for him to record his fourth success at this venue (two wins over C&D). Calin's Lad's attempt to make it a hat-trick of victories saw him finish fourth at Kempton earlier this month and he is capable of being in the mix, along with Mashaan.

This can go to BOBBY JOE LEG, who posted his best effort for some time when second at Southwell last week and makes fair appeal off same mark. Calin's Lad and Catesby should also go well.

Top of the list is Tapeta specialist BOBBY JOE LEG (nap), who went very close at Southwell last Monday and is on the same mark here.

Now that the penny has dropped for HOPEFORTHEBEST after a taking win over C&D last month, there should be plenty more to come from the four-year-old off a 4lb higher mark and he is taken to complete a double. Come To Pass has been knocking on the door of late and must hold strong claims, along with the unexposed Barney's Angel, who has the potential to improve for the step up in trip.

HOPEFORTHEBEST has turned a corner since fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap and remains feasibly treated after his recent C&D victory. He can score again. Barney's Angel and Come To Pass look the likeliest dangers.

The vote goes to HOPEFORTHEBEST, who got off the mark with a convincing win over C&D 16 days ago. Barney's Angel is feared most.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to finish in the top 3 are 4/1 (3) RECUERDAME, 2.25/1 (2) HELLAVAPACE, and Come on John. 4/1 (3) RECUERDAME is described as a nine-time AW winner and a likely contender, while 2.25/1 (2) HELLAVAPACE is a big player and likely to go well again based on his clearcut win last month. Come on John has also returned to form recently and could be in the mix.

HELLAVAPACE may have been disappointing when favourite at Brighton last time out, but she must hold every chance on the form of her penultimate effort when scoring readily over C&D. Jonathan Portman's filly may have too much for Recuerdame, who will appreciate going back up in trip, and Come On John. Starry Eyes and Zoffany Portrait cannot be ruled out either.

Preference is for RECUERDAME, who ran well over a shorter trip at Kempton last time and remains fairly treated. Hellavapace and Come On John also enter calculations.

The vote goes to the generally reliable HELLAVAPACE, who put in a dominant display over C&D on her penultimate run.

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.

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.
