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.

PRINCE ALI has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot the last twice, including over C&D on his latest outing, for which he was raised 2lb. The five-year-old looks to have the best form on offer and should be tough to beat. The main danger might be Mudlahhim, who has run well over 7f on each of his last three outings and could get in contention off the same rating as when runner-up at Southwell. Of the remainder, Oh Herberts Reign makes the most appeal after his fifth at Newmarket.

A lot of these find winning difficult but SNOOZE LANE is a pretty low-mileage 4-y-o who has gained both victories at this level so he just about gets the nod. Mudlahhim has been in good order for a while now, with the Hannon pair Oh Herberts Reign and Ellade both very well handicapped these days if they can spark back to life.

On the back of a solid effort here last month, SNOOZE LANE (nap) may well be the answer. Prince Ali is second choice.

(2) A Dublin Lad 0.22/1, Well backed 9 months on from debut and matched that form when third of 7 in maiden at Sandown (10f, good to firm) 84 days ago. That race worked out pretty well and he's the one to beat.

Wears hood on debut; yard not associated with winning newcomers.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A DUBLIN LAD finished third in what has turned out to be a very hot maiden at Sandown, with the runner-up putting himself into the Leger picture by landing the Melrose, while two other subsequent winners have come out of the race. The son of Ulysses may only need to find normal progression to strike. Fly Zone is the obvious danger after his third at Bath and he sets the standard with a rating of 80. Classic Times is of some interest as she tries a first-time hood.

The Sandown race A DUBLIN LAD finished third in worked out well and this looks an excellent chance for him to open his account. Fly Zone is the obvious threat on form, with Classic Times a potential improver.

Preference is for A DUBLIN LAD, whose latest effort has substance. Classic Times and Fly Zone are the main dangers on form.

Hint Of The Jungle

3.5
3.5/1(-75%)
(1) Hint Of The Jungle 3.5/1, Bungle Inthejungle colt who was strong in betting and duly stepped forward from his debut when landing an 11-runner Beverley maiden (5f) 24 days ago, notably travelling powerfully. Holds sound claims again with further progress anticipated.
Deserves extra credit for Beverley win given he raced wide and he's a likeable prospect.

2.5/1(+62%)
(2) Lieutenant Rascal 2.5/1, Fair gelding. 2/5, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) 6 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and more needed if he's to follow up in what looks a stronger affair.
Won Brighton maiden last Sunday on seventh start; may be vulnerable under penalty.

Make It Easy

3/1(+25%)
(4) Make It Easy 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Catterick in July. 40/1, 9¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Inquisitively in listed race at York (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. This less demanding making tapeta debut.
Catterick maiden winner who needs a return to form, but respected now back down in grade.

Beenham

2/1(+20%)
(3) Beenham 2/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Goodwood in May. 5/6 and hooded for 1st time, respectable second of 5 in minor event at this C&D 7 days ago. Has good chance on form.
Some tough tasks since Goodwood win in May; second over C&D last Saturday; solid claims.

Law Of Average

80/1(-21%)
(5) Law Of Average 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, shaped a little better than distance beaten suggests when seventh of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good) on debut 36 days ago, challenging approaching 2f out and unable to sustain effort. May last longer this time.
Well beaten at 66-1 on last month's debut at Bath and others are preferred.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BEENHAM (sixth) had Make It Easy a place behind when failing to justify favouritism at Glorious Goodwood and she is top-rated in this field with a figure of 82. The daughter of Havana Grey has the hood removed after wearing it when second over C&D last week and she is fancied to go one better. Sunday's Brighton victor Lieutenant Rascal could continue to improve after his gelding operation and it would be no surprise to see him right in the mix.

A number have plenty of experience to call upon, but HINT OF THE JUNGLE looked value for more than the winning margin implies when making it second time lucky in a Beverley maiden last month and Ed Dunlop's colt can defy a penalty and come out on top again. Beenham and Make It Easy head up the dangers.

Having done well to win at Beverley following a wide trip, HINT OF THE JUNGLE is taken to follow up. Beenham is second choice.

Gives the impression this new trip is worth exploring; possibilities.

(3) Kaaress 4.5/1, Career best when winning 5-runner nursery (15/8) at this course (9.5f) 7 days ago, doing well to come from last to first off a steady gallop. Merits respect from 1 lb higher mark.
Came off steady pace to win similar event here last Saturday; warrants respect.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

PRIMETIME ran his best race to date when beaten a neck at Ffos Las recently and holds leading claims off only 2lb higher now reverting to Tapeta. Mimi Kakushi was collared in the dying strides in a Redcar seller and could emerge as the chief threat on her handicap bow. Kaaress has only been nudged up 1lb in the ratings for her triumph over slightly further at this venue last week and she completes the shortlist.

KAARESS did well to overcome the run of the race when opening her account over further here 7 days ago and with the drop back in trip expected to hold no fears, she earns the vote to follow up from a 1 lb higher mark. American Tale wasn't seen to best effect at Newbury latest and rates the lead threat, ahead of Brandaisy.

A minimal rise in the weights gives KAARESS every chance of following up last Saturday's win. American Tale is second choice.

Well backed when winning a 0-55 here in July; struggled off this mark latest; opposable.

50/1(-79%)
(9) Street Life 50/1, C&D scorer who resumed winning ways at Catterick (5f) in June and best effort for a while when third in 7-runner handicap back here 8 days ago. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces now but this is a deeper affair.
Conditions fine and ran okay last week; drawn wide and may find this too competitive.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Bang On The Bell capitalised on a lower turf mark (62) at Nottingham last month, but he returns to this surface off an 11lb higher rating so will need to improve to complete a double. With that in mind, it could pay side with CINQUE VERDE, who finished a good second over C&D last week. Spanish Angel and Ecclesiastical are also worth a second look now switched to the all-weather.

NELSON GAY wasn't at his best at Thirsk but he had previously capitalised on his reduced mark when successful on AW at Newcastle so, back on an artificial surface, he could be worth chancing to bounce back from a handy draw. Bang On The Bell and Murbih head up the dangers.

Nelson Gay is greatly respected but BETWEENTHESTICKS can show the benefit of a drop in class and return to AW.

(3) Loco Lobo 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (66/1) at Haydock (5f, soft) 49 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
Unexposed; popped up at 66-1 at Haydock 7 weeks ago; other pace on show; not ideally drawn.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Plenty of in-form runners line up, with the tentative selection being UNDER CURFEW. Tony Carroll's charge was a very good second over 6f at Chepstow last time and he is on a dangerous mark if transferring his turf form to the all-weather. Recent Lingfield winner Coast appears primed to offer another bold bid but she may come unstuck trying to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings, while similar comments apply to surprise Haydock scorer Loco Lobo.

LOCO LOBO showed much-improved form on her second start in a handicap when winning at Haydock 7 weeks ago and this lightly-raced 5-y-o can prove that was no fluke with another victory. Under Curfew went close to ending his losing run at Chepstow last time and is 2 lb lower here, so rates a big threat along with Coast, who remains well treated on old form having ended her losing run at Lingfield.

He's the type who will always need a bit of luck but GUSTAV GRAVES is in form, well handicapped and should find this being run to suit.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GREEK GIANT hasn't been out of the first two in each of his last four starts and he appears likely to go close once again. Ed Dunlop's runner has been raised 1lb for his second at Ripon and that may not be enough to halt his progression. Eloped might be the biggest danger after her second over 1m3f at Southwell, although she still has to prove she truly stays this trip. Ivy Avenue heads the remainder.

GREEK GIANT and Eloped were beaten only by subsequent winners last time, with the former taken to strike here back from a break. Ivy Avenue may prove best of the others.

This can go to the progressive 3yo GREEK GIANT, who was a clear second behind a dual subsequent winner at Ripon last time.
