LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The Smiling Wolf secured a comfortable success over this trip at Ffos Las last Friday and he must enter calculations under a 6lb penalty. That said, MINI MAGNA has scored on two of his last three starts and gets the vote on his Tapeta debut. Ed Dunlop's gelding has to shoulder top-weight but he could be hard to stop if transferring his recent form onto the all-weather. The unexposed Suicide Blonde is another to consider.

London & The South start the evening in third place but might be able to narrow the gap at the top of the table courtesy of THE SMILING WOLF, who looks nicely treated under a penalty for last week's comfortable Ffos Las success. The thriving Mini Magna is feared most on the back of her recent Carlisle near miss. Suicide Blonde and Skilled Master are handicap newcomers who make some appeal, although the draw could have been kinder to the latter.

There should be more to come from Beyond Borders but THE SMILING WOLF looks ahead of the handicapper after last week's easy win.

(9) Bear Profit 9/1, 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 7 days ago. Not in top form at present, so others make more appeal.

66/1(-164%)
(11) Alcazan 66/1, Course winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago, all out. Remains fairly treated on old form.
Back to winning ways on turf latest (form franked) but vulnerable from wide draw this time.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Newcastle last time out, RAZZAM is fancied to build on that effort off the same mark here. Frederick Larson knocks 3lb off the gelding's back and, with more progression likely, the three-year-old can get the better of Hello Me, who drops in class following a creditable second at Chelmsford most recently. Momaer has been consistent of late and is another who warrants consideration.

HELLO ME is right at the top of her game and should be well positioned, so she takes marginal preference over Razzam and Le Beau Garcon, who both arrive on the back of solid showings but have wide draws to contend with. A case can be made for several others in a competitive event.

Minnetonka is interesting back at 6f but KIT GABRIEL shaped well on his stable debut and now has something to build on.

(5) Yeoman 3.33/1, Dual C&D winner. Very good second of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly.

Supaspecialawesome

8
8/1(+27%)
(7) Supaspecialawesome 8/1, Course winner. Very good second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 15/8) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Visor on first time.

2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(3) Moonspirit 2.5/1, Winner at Bath in July. 10/1, good third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 7 days ago. Can give a good account under Billy Loughnane.
Remains open to improvement back down in trip and Billy Loughnane's 3lb claim won't hurt.

Pjanoo

5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(1) Pjanoo 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning race 18 of this series at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Claims if the headgear works a second time.

Achillea

14

Needs to find more for the surface switch but is a half-sister to two course winners.

Lunarscape

20
20/1(+29%)
(8) Lunarscape 20/1, 20/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1m, firm) 84 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.
Lost a shoe at Goodwood and not much went right last time; too soon to write her off then.
LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

The drop in trip looks set to suit MOONSPIRIT, who lost second inside the final furlong over 1m2f at Newcastle a week ago. The unexposed daughter of Kingman retains the mark from that run and is fancied to improve, but Yeoman can give her plenty to think about following a staying-on second over a mile most recently. A first-time visor could see Supaspecialawesome build on a decent second from his latest outing and he completes the shortlist.

The C&D handicap ROYAL DREAM won last month has worked out really well and he looked unlucky not to go closer when third at Kempton last week so he's the suggestion. His teammate Yeoman has a steadily progressive profile on AW and is second choice ahead of Moonspirit.

Moonspirit is respected, but ROYAL DREAM has progressed nicely in AW handicaps this summer and gets the vote.

Two wins this year and he went close at Windsor last time; could make another bold bid.

(8) Parlando 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 7 days ago. Still unexposed, so bigger effort can't be ruled out.

(5) What's The Story 8.5/1, Latest win at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Holding form well and worth a chance to open his account for this stable.

6yo who is most potent on AW and has claims if he gets a good pace and some luck.
LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Young Fire is the only course and distance winner in the field and, as he has won five times off higher marks, the eight-year-old is hard to ignore. LIR SPECIALE is forced to carry top weight, but drops in class after disappointing twice at Ascot and returns to the all-weather having won twice at Kempton. He may be at his best on an artificial surface and could hold off the attentions of Koy Koy, who was not disgraced at Chester and has Billy Loughnane claiming 3lb here.

The majority have some sort of chance but it may pay to side with WHAT'S THE STORY, who has been holding his form well and hasn't had much racing for his current yard. Hafeet Alain could emerge as the main danger and United Front should benefit from a return to AW.

An open race in which Mick Appleby's UNITED FRONT gets the vote ahead of Hafeet Alain and What's The Story.

4.5

(6) Painters Palette 4.5/1, Fine start for present yard when landing pair of course handicaps in the spring (latterly over C&D). Plenty of good efforts since, adding to his tally at Redcar (1m) prior to solid fourth at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Remains of interest from this mark.

Never involved under a more patient ride when seventh at York (10.2f) 12 days ago but respected as one of only two 3-y-os in the line up.

(10) Arcadian Nights 12/1, 5-y-o who gained third success of the year over C&D in April. Respectable effort at Haydock later that month and he comes here having posted a career-best effort when second at Chepstow (1m) 4 weeks ago. Operating from career-high mark now but he's clearly in good heart.
Three AW wins early in the year (two over C&D); good second on turf latest; contender.

(8) Fantasy Believer 25/1, Latest win at Newmarket (10f) in July. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 28 days ago, best work finish. Each-way possibilities once more.
Newmarket winner in July; third at Chepstow four weeks ago; needs a strong pace to shine.

Carolus Magnus

10
10/1(+38%)
(5) Carolus Magnus 10/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding and threatening to come good for present yard, not seen to very best effect when fifth at Newcastle (10.2f) last week. Remains low-mileage and he's not underestimated.
Looks to retain good chunk of ability & one to consider, especially if they go quick early.

Marie's Diamond

16
16/1(-14%)
(2) Marie's Diamond 16/1, On a long losing run but he did run a cracker when second at York (10.2f) in May. Has been some way below that level on last 3 starts though, and whilst this ease in class is a plus, others arrive with more pressing claims.
Big chance on even this season's best now faced with a marked drop in grade.
11
11th (11) Lucky San Jore (22/1 -10%)
Lucky San Jore

22
22/1(-10%)
(11) Lucky San Jore 22/1, Dual C&D winner upon joining present yard last autumn and, following a couple of lesser efforts in the spring, he returned to form when fourth at Leicester (8.2f) 15 days ago, keeping on having been hampered at the start. Likely to give another good account back on AW.
Good record over C&D and ran well over an inadequate 1m last time; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Both Civil Law and ARCADIAN NIGHTS have good records here with eight course wins between them, and both look capable off their current marks. Preference is for the Mark Loughnane gelding who was a solid second at Chepstow last month. Upped 2lb for that, he returns to the all-weather and may go one better with a clear run. Naxos is another changing surface and, with his 2/3 record on the all-weather, he is also hard to overlook.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims and there could be a spot of value in KINGORI. He wasn't at his best on turf latest but his profile on all weather is a positive one and this low-mileage 4-y-o can prove his present mark a workable one. Painters Palette and Naxos head up the dangers, whilst Carolus Magnus is threatening to come good soon and is also worth keeping an eye on.

There are risks involved with MARIE'S DIAMOND but this is a drop in class and May's York second represents a strong piece of form.

York winner in June (1m6f); still looked in form latest; a strong early pace would suit.

(6) Glenister 4.5/1, Typical improver for shrewd yard, making it 4 wins from 5 starts this term at Newcastle (12.5f) 7 days ago, leading last ½f and idling. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and unlikely he's reached his limit yet.
Thriving this year; stepping up in trip can spark even more; strong claims under penalty.

Running well this year and handles Tapeta but getting on for four years since his last win.

(7) Percy Jones 8/1, Placed on 3 of his last 4 starts on turf and ran right up to best when landing 6-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, leading inside final 1f. This rates more demanding up in class from revised mark, though.
Ready winner over C&D three weeks ago; this deeper but still has handicapping scope.

Two wins over this trip in midsummer; progress stalled over 2m latest; type to bounce back.

Seven-race maiden; has shown promise but new trip/tongue-tie need to spark more from him.

Two wins for O Sangster this year; shaped well on stable debut 6 weeks ago; may do better.

Banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose latest; dangerous with an easy lead.

Second over fences latest; this year's Flat form poor but step back up in trip may help.

(1) Achnamara 80/1, Fairly useful C&D winner for Charlie and Mark Johnston in 2022. However, proved most disappointing over hurdles/on Flat for Harry Fry and has since joined present yard for £16,000. Return to AW needs to have positive effect with cheekpieces refitted.
Two wins here for the Johnstons; struggled for H Fry; sold £16,000 last month; risky.
LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

PERCY JONES has been running well of late and he got his head in front last time, scoring over C&D. Mark Loughnane's charge has been raised 2lb in the ratings for that win and, while this is a hotter heat, that could prove lenient. Belgoprince is feared most after running out a decisive winner over 1m4f at Epsom and it would be no shock were he to defy a 5lb penalty, while similar comments apply to Glenister.

BELGOPRINCE arrives firmly at the top of his game, posting a career-best display when bagging the Amateurs' Derby at Epsom 10 days ago, and, turned out under a penalty, he could well be up to going in again with Billy Loughnane taking off a very handy 3 lb. Glenister made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts at Newcastle last week and he's a big threat with the prospect of more to come. Dark Island and The Thunderer complete the shortlist.

Belgoprince won in fine style at Epsom but he's up against another progressive one in GLENISTER (nap) this time.

(5) Get It 11/1, Course winner. Respectable ¾-length fourth of 14 to Good Earth in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration.

Arrives in form but such an easy 6f from a double-figure stall is a bare minimum.

Has regressed on turf this year, latterly for new yard off a turf mark fully 21lb lower.

Drawn widest; has been off for well over a year and the market should provide some clues.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Despite running into a modest third over 6f at Newcastle last time, it is SPACE COWBOY who gets the nod to claim this prize. Richard Spencer's colt appears to be on a workable mark for his handicap debut. Lequinto has been a model of consistency of late and he should be thereabouts despite running off 4lb higher than his neck second over 6f at Windsor last time, while Tiger Crusade isn't ruled out either.

Stall 12 isn't ideal but 3-y-o CELTIC CHAMPION possesses the scope to rate higher before the year is out so he gets the nod in what is a very competitive contest. Mums Tipple eases slightly in class and is a big threat, along with Monsieur Kodi.

Get It is shortlisted but PRISONER'S DILEMMA is most interesting for an Irish trainer who's 8-29 with travellers in recent years.

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.
