LTO Selection:

16:27 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Just a length and a half separated Starfighter (winner) and SEA OF CHARM (second) when they clashed over C&D 10 days ago but, with a 5lb pull, the latter is fancied to turn the form around. The five-year-old mare has held her from well since joining her current yard and appeals with Christian Howarth retaining the ride. Waterloo Sunset is unexposed at the trip and is another to consider.

STARFIGHTER comfortably capitalised on a much-reduced mark when going in over C&D last time out so looks the way go despite taking a 5 lb rise. Sea Of Charm followed Mark Loughnane's 7-y-o home that day and can again claim second spot ahead of Hashtagmetoo and Waterloo Sunset.

The suggestion is HASHTAGMETOO, who was a shade unlucky here last time, when travelling like a serious player.

(9) Lady Bouquet 7.5/1, Creditable third of 9 in nursery (15/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Much respected on her tapeta debut.
Two creditable efforts at Musselburgh the last twice; needs more for this switch to AW.

(10) Perelle 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Had wind op before coming in a good fifth of 9 to Pinpoint in nursery at Bath (5f, good, 6/1) 55 days ago. Needs to build on it.
Showed more on her nursery debut 8 weeks ago, only beaten 3l into 5th; capable of better.

Patchy record and new surface/headgear needs to spark something extra.

(11) Havana Mojito 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Bath (5f, good to firm) 41 days ago, slowly away. Lots more required on his handicap debut.
Down field in three runs this summer; first realistic opportunity today but others safer.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having placed in three deeper races since he scored on his nursery debut at Bath, PINPOINT is well fancied now dropping in trip. Richard Hannon's colt faded into third in the final furlong over 7f at Kempton, but went close there and at Windsor on his two outings prior. Amroon made a pleasing beginning to his handicap career when runner-up at Southwell, while Lady Bouquet has picked up minor money twice at Musselburgh and could do so again.

AMROON ran well on his first go in a nursery last week and can open his account if building on that. Dadas Boy and Lady Bouquet are feared.

Amroon is high on the list but PINPOINT is taken to defy top weight back at 5f.

33-1 when a well-beaten last of four at Lingfield last month (5f, AW).
LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Officially the highest rated of these, DELLA has an obvious chance on these terms and is fancied to make a winning return to this circuit. Unraced as a juvenile, Andrew Balding's filly has improved with each run since she was belatedly introduced in a novice here in March, and the booking of Oisin Murphy is a bonus. Make Clear found only an 80-rated rival too good last time and enters calculations, while Candy Eye and Keep It Hush are others to consider.

DELLA is the clear form pick and the one to beat. Make Clear is next best on form, ahead of Candy Eye.

Della won't be found many better openings than this, but CANDY EYE has shown promise in her two starts and could progress further.

In the frame in all four visits here but may need a stiffer test than this now.

Has done well since handicapping and step back up in trip should suit, but drawn widest.

2nd in all three starts here; back off last winning mark today but a poor effort last time.

4th (7) Noodle Mission (10/1 +9%)
Noodle Mission

10
10/1(+9%)
(7) Noodle Mission 10/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Remains 2 lb above last winning mark and will probably find a few too good.
Dual C&D winner and not beaten far here last month though only eighth; worth a second look.
2

Ciotog

8
8/1(-45%)
(2) Ciotog 8/1, C&D winner. 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and merits respect in his hat-trick bid.
C&D winner bidding for a hat-trick after two wins on turf; player if getting a strong pace.

Venetian

7

2lb lower than when winning a nursery over C&D last November; visor goes on.
1

Has creditable AW form in better company than this; went close last time; high on list.

2lb lower than when winning over C&D in January, but below her best lately.

Despite just the six starts, her form already has an uneven look to it; cheekpieces on.

(3) Nikki's Girl 12/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at this C&D 60 days ago. 5 lb rise for that decisive success is tolerable and she has to enter calculations.
Tidy winner over C&D in August; 5lb higher but still one for the shortlist.

Harbour Vision

(11) Harbour Vision 40/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerable for win purposes.
Last win came over C&D from 4lb higher but losing run is up to 14; drawn wider than ideal.
LTO Selection:

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

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

PORT ERIN was beaten in his hat-trick bid over 7f at Kempton last time but that third-placed finish was still encouraging and it would be no surprise to see him score off the same mark here. Nikki's Girl is an obvious threat following her win over C&D last time, while the in-form Ciotog and Francesi are others with valid form claims.

NIKKI'S GIRL ran out the decisive winner of a C&D handicap in August and, if resuming in a similar mood following a two-month break, she will take plenty of stopping. Though his recent form figures do not inspire confidence, Master of Combat is interesting back at this course off a reduced mark. He is just about second choice, with Venetian, who has also edged down to an attractive mark, and the hat-trick seeking Ciotog others to consider.

The vote goes to FRANCESI who has shown creditable form in better races than this on the AW. He looked to be on the way back last time.

(10) Eagle Day 11/1, 11/2, good third of 6 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 21 days ago, but this 6-race maiden needs to find some improvement now upped in trip.
Only his second run for this yard when close up at Catterick; could do well on the AW.

(4) Southwold 4/1, 7/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago. More needed if he's to regain the winning thread in this contest.
Two wins on Tapeta, the handicap off only 2lb lower (1m); unlikely to be far away.

Has threatened in handicaps and headgear could make a difference.

Last year ended disappointingly and he's not really got going this season.

Didn't run much of a race only last week on his return from two months off.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

HE'S A GENTLEMAN has been running well in defeat of late and the four-year-old will not find many better opportunities than this to earn a second career victory. Southwold was a place behind the selection last time and he should not be underestimated in a race of this nature. The consistent Paternoster Square has become frustrating but he is likely to be in the mix once again.

It may pay to keep the faith with STAR PLAYER, who hasn't really progressed this season but he's now on a good mark, judged both on his 2-y-o exploits and his solid effort at Pontefract during the summer. This will be just his second run on the all-weather. Paternoster Square clearly has his limitations but there's certainly ability there and it could be that the first-time blinkers here will help him channel it more effectively. If so, he could emerge as the main threat ahead of Reputation.

An open handicap. PATERNOSTER SQUARE is worth chancing in the hope that blinkers can focus his mind.

Promise on AW for Clive Cox; stamina for 7f not proven and absent since June.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SURPRISE PICTURE had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D eight days ago and he merits the utmost respect once again, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Chalk Mountain was only beaten a neck when second at Kempton last time and is an obvious threat to the selection. Fools And Horses edges out Gannon Glory and The Cruising Lord to be the pick of the remainder.

GANNON GLORY landed a claimer over 6f here in August and, not for the first time, shaped as though this trip is worth exploring when staying on into fourth in a handicap back here (again at 6f) 10 days ago. He gets the nod ahead of Fools And Horses, who arrives here on the back of a couple of decent efforts on turf and she surely has a race in her off this sort of mark. Flatley is also considered and an on-song The Cruising Lord would be a threat, too.

Chalk Mountain can go well but DESTINED may be the answer now back down in trip.

(11) Speed Dial Baileys 4/1, C&D winner in July. Good second of 7 in handicap back here (5/1) 32 days ago and, though up 3 lb for that near miss, she is likely to be in the thick of things once again.
Her two best runs have come over C&D and she's not yet fully exposed; interesting.

Promise in this headgear (6f) here last time; down in class; one to take seriously.
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.

SPEED DIAL BAILEYS was a narrow second over C&D last time and a 3lb rise for that display may not be enough to prevent her from going one better. The main danger is All In The Hips, who wasn't disgraced when fifth here last month and she could improve for the application of a first-time visor, while Murbih is also of interest on his current mark.

The one who appeals most is EL TESORO, who shaped better than the bare result when returning from a break on debut for new connections at Southwell last month. He should be sharper now, plus he's been eased 3 lb and dropping back to the minimum trip looks a good move. Man On A Mission hasn't made much of an impact on turf the last twice but he boasts a solid all-weather record and is feared, along with Murbih, who has been knocking on the door of late. Birkenhead could also have a part to play.

Man On A Mission can fare better back on AW but the unexposed SPEED DIAL BAILEYS (nap) can furher enhance her C&D record.

Handicapper on top in 2023; reduced mark for stable debut; visor needs to give her a lift.
LTO Selection:

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

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

CHAMBER CHOIR was always doing enough when victorious at Chelmsford last time, which made it two win from her last three starts. The daughter of Ardad could continue her upward curve to go in once again off a 4lb higher rating. Warminster wasn't beaten far into fourth at Salisbury last month and could have a say in a first-time visor. Of the remainder, My Delilah makes the most appeal.

MY DELILAH bounced back to form when third at Bath last time and can capitalise on a reduced mark to gain her second win of 2023. Chamber Choir rates a big threat on the back of her recent Chelmsford City success, with course-scorers Jack of Clubs and Unlimited Data in the mix for place purposes.

The progressive Chamber Choir can go well but JACK OF CLUBS has refound some sparkle of late and can gain a second C&D success.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO is off the same mark as his third over an extended 1m1f here last month and the three-year-old could be ready to shed his maiden tag. The main danger is El Royale, who has put in some solid efforts recently and can be competitive off this mark, while Polar Rock warrants a market check on her handicap bow under Luke Morris.

MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO came home a very good third to Chinese Whisperer here last week and can turn the table on 5 lb better terms this time. Harriet Bethell's 6-y-o still rates the chief threat, although course-winner He's Our Star and in-form maiden El Royale also need factoring into this open handicap.

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.
