LTO Selection:

14:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

GEELONG has been running well in defeat recently, emphasised when finishing a one-length fourth at Bath nine days ago. Eased 1lb in the ratings following that performance, the son of Australia has become attractively handicapped judged on past exploits and he might be ready to take advantage. Handicap debutant Socialist Agenda must enter calculations, while first-time blinkers could spark an improved performance from Buford.

Not a strong race and GEELONG can gain a deserved second success back on AW after a run of good efforts. Fairly useful hurdler Socialist Agenda is very interesting now handicapping in this sphere. Pyrrhic Dancer should be in the mix for the places.

Buford (second choice) has claims but GEELONG has found his level now and can break a losing run back at the scene of his sole win.

(3) Harappan 0.62/1, Promising type. 50/1, third of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) on debut 44 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving John Butler. Will take the beating.
Clear third at Newcastle on sole run for John Butler; sets the standard on that.

Renoir

33
33/1(-313%)
(1) Renoir 33/1, Debut third in Bangor bumper but only eighth of 10 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good) next time, and just a fair level when fifth of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (10f, good to soft, 125/1) on Flat debut 24 days ago. Up in trip.. Plenty more is required in this sphere.
Shown enough in bumpers/one Flat start to suggest he can win but maybe when handicapping.

4th (2) Royal Max (14/1 -155%)
Royal Max

14
14/1(-155%)
(2) Royal Max 14/1, Modest form over hurdles, back on track when third on handicap debut last time. Improvement needed switched to the Flat.
Looked to have stamina issues in bumpers and over hurdles; yard 3-7 on the Flat this year.

Truth Will Out

33
33/1(+18%)
(5) Truth Will Out 33/1, Outstrip gelding. Dam 2m-17f winner. 33/1, last of 7 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Big step forward needed.
Inclined to hang left when a remote last on his debut three weeks ago.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

HARAPPAN shaped with significant promise at Newcastle on his debut, where he travelled smoothly into contention. The three-year-old didn't have the pace to match the front two, but he looks certain to benefit from a step up in trip and is taken to strike at the second time of asking. Swift Hawk is the main danger, while market support for the Nicky Henderson-trained Royal Max would be interesting.

Hard to look beyond HARAPPAN who outran his odds on debut at Newcastle and looks open to improvement after a quick trainer change. Swift Hawk is next best on form but more exposed. while Nicky Henderson's Royal Max has shown a bit over hurdles and can't be discounted on Flat debut, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Picked up for 150,000gns after a promising debut in June, HARAPPAN can get off the mark at the main expense of Royal Max.

Mc Loven

0.36/1(+64%)
(4) Mc Loven 0.36/1, Twice-raced colt. Much better effort when second of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 17/2) 9 days ago. Sets a high standard.
Just caught at Lingfield last time; early pace should be an asset around here.

2nd (1) Pressure's On (8.5/1 -55%)
Pressure's On

8.5
8.5/1(-55%)
(1) Pressure's On 8.5/1, Twice-raced colt. 9/4, last of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Slightly better effort on debut but more needed.
Doesn't look short of early speed, so the drop to 5f and getting back on the AW may help.

40/1(+0%)
(8) Nouveaux 40/1, Once-raced filly. 11/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) on debut 36 days ago. Likely to need more time.

(6) Fly Pass 10/1, Lightly-raced filly. 14/1, seventh of 9 in nursery at Haydock (6f, firm) 27 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

22
22/1(-175%)
(2) Comein Comein 22/1, Foaled February 5. €2,000 yearling, Prince of Lir colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner.
Stable can get one ready first time and well worth a market check.
5
6th (5) California State (80/1 -167%)
California State

80
80/1(-167%)
(5) California State 80/1, Thrice-raced filly. Ninth of 10 in minor event (80/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 23 days ago. Should have more to offer but looks one more for haandicaps.
Well held in three starts on turf; likely to have more chance in modest nurseries.

Miss Woo Woo

Compra Borracho

28
28/1(-133%)
(3) Compra Borracho 28/1, Foaled March 21. €15,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Closely related to winner up to 6f Throttle Control and useful 5f/6f winner Atacama and half-brother to a winner, all abroad. Dam maiden (stayed 6f). Wears hood.
May be best watched on debut unless the market suggests otherwise; hood on.
LTO Selection:

15:10 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MC LOVEN left the form of his debut behind when only narrowly denied at Lingfield nine days ago, and any further improvement can see the Harry Angel colt shed his maiden tag here. Miss Woo Woo, who finished third in that same contest, might improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces, while Pressure's On and Fly Pass complete the shortlist.

MC LOVEN stands out on form and is easily the most likely winner. Miss Woo Woo and Fly Pass can fight it out for minor honours.

The vote goes to MC LOVEN who was only just caught on turf at Lingfield last time and could well step forward again.

More on his first crack at 5f (first-time hood) last time; decent claims off the same mark.

(4) Doctor Mozart 5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 55 days ago, though he did get unbalanced briefly.
Knows how to win but is completely exposed and there's little wiggle room off this mark.

(5) Cuban Grey 5.5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, sticking to his task. Has to be taken seriously from an unchanged mark.
Nothing wrong with his latest C&D second; goes on the shortlist off the same mark.

50/1(-178%)
(2) Poseidon Prince 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut and isn't easy to assess (displayed ability for Charlie Appleby).
This is more realistic now handicapping but hasn't shown enough to be recommended.
10

Victors Dream

3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(10) Victors Dream 3.5/1, 9/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Tongue strap now on.
Expensive to follow but had excuses last time and still retains some potential; player.

Tarbet

12
12/1(+0%)
(7) Tarbet 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Possibly unsuited by conditions and this will reveal more on handicap bow switched to the AW.
Signs of ability in three runs to date (5f-6f); starts handicap life at a sensible level.

Handicapper's giving her every chance and maybe the return to the AW will do the trick.

(9) Sugar Hill Babe 5/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft, 10/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time.
Hasn't been as good in three runs back from a break and is now tried in cheekpieces.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Cuban Grey attempted to make all over C&D on his latest outing, but he was denied by just under a length. He is likely to remain competitive off the same mark, though preference is for DOCTOR MOZART, who failed to fire on turf at Chepstow but now makes his return to the all-weather and could prove tough to beat. Tarbet would be of interest if the market spoke in her favour on her handicap bow.

MOULIN BOOJ gave an excellent account of himself fitted with a hood at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and from the same mark with a top apprentice booked he could be the way to go. Cuban Grey and Unlimited Data are a couple of potential threats.

The vote goes to VICTORS DREAM, who's well up to winning off this mark when things fall his way. Moulin Booj is next best.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VOLTAIC got up in the final strides to score at Salisbury over a mile last time and he is asked to carry 4lb extra for that success, which may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Mudlahhim is up 4lb for his recent win over C&D and is likely to be on the premises once more, while Secret Joy is much less exposed than most of these and could also get involved.

MOSTALLIM escapes a penalty for his comfortable success at Chelmsford so will be hard to beat. Penalised-winners Mudlahhim and Voltaic can follow him home.

Preference is for MUDLAHHIM who ended a lengthy losing run over C&D ten days ago. He is 3lb higher, but still well treated on old form.

(4) Strangerontheshore 7/1, Food run of good form coming to a halt when fifth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle.
All five wins on turf, but has made the frame in all three starts on the AW; not dismissed.

(5) Balqaa 16/1, 14/1, offered little after 5 months off when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Needs to leave that behind.
Dual Newcastle winner who probably needed her recent return; not without a chance.
LTO Selection:

16:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

WELOOF (third) finished half a length behind Give A Little Back (second) last time at Kempton when short of room in the closing stages, and the nine-year-old is 1lb better off with that rival this time around. He's taken to reverse the form and go very close. Perfect Gentleman's performance last time could be upgraded after he lost many lengths at the start and, sporting first-time cheekpieces, he's another to note.

The step up in trip promises to suit PEARLY STAR, so she's taken to resume progress/winning ways. Fellow 3-y-o Perfect Gentleman isn't one to place complete trust in given his slow starts, but he arrives in good heart and has to be respected, along with Give A Little Back, who returned to his best at Kempton last month.

Preference is for GIVE A LITTLE BACK whose sole win came over further on this track. He was only just beaten over 1m last time.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

HOOFLEPUFF returned from a 79-day break to fill the runner-up spot over C&D at the end of June, which showed he is still in great heart. The seven-year-old looks to have been found another good opportunity off the same mark. Royal Dream makes his return to the all-weather, where he was last seen scoring at Lingfield off 3lb lower, while Eagle Eyed Tom is one to watch in the market.

CIOTOG usually runs well here, so he's worth taking a chance on from a reduced mark. The in-form Hooflepuff is a danger and Snooze Lane should be back on his game.

The vote goes to HOOFLEPUFF (nap) who ran well after a break to finish second over C&D last time. All nine of his wins have come here.

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.
