1st (1) Glory Nights (10/1 +60%)
Glory Nights

10
10/1(+60%)
(1) Glory Nights 10/1, Fair maiden who has struggled to make an impact in handicaps on his last 3 outings. This is a bit easier but still hard to be confident.
Drops 2lb after a better effort latest and a repeat would probably see him involved..
6
2nd (6) Blue Yonder (8.5/1 +29%)
Blue Yonder

8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(6) Blue Yonder 8.5/1, Successful twice in May, the latter over C&D, but he's lost his way in recent starts.
Handy mark but arrives after a couple of below par efforts; bit to prove..
5
3rd (5) Rose Light (5/1 +50%)
Rose Light

5
5/1(+50%)
(5) Rose Light 5/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago but claims on her runner-up effort there prior to that.
Drops in trip on this stiffer track and will need to improve on turf form to score..
7
4th (7) Marmara Star (5.5/1 -57%)
Marmara Star

5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(7) Marmara Star 5.5/1, Won on C&D handicap debut in January and creditable second of 6 back here 3 months later. Off a further 6 months since but still one to consider as an unexposed sort from a good stable.
C&D winner and second on her last two starts; freshened up; big player..
4
5th (4) Uncle Dick (5/2 +0%)
Uncle Dick

2.5
5/2(+0%)
(4) Uncle Dick 5/2, Course winner who has been successful 3 times over 1m at Brighton this year, the latest success coming 3 weeks ago. 6 lb higher now back on AW but still much respected as an in-form sort.
Has won three times at Brighton recently; better race here but another win not ruled out..
3
6th (3) Strawberry Jack (66/1 -450%)
Strawberry Jack

66
66/1(-450%)
(3) Strawberry Jack 66/1, Won twice over 1m on turf in 2022 but well held in 2 outings in the first half of 2022 and not seen since. Has been given a chance by the handicapper but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.
Well beaten in a Chester claimer in June; drops 6lb; plenty to prove..
8
7th (8) Flame Of Kodiac (80/1 -60%)
Flame Of Kodiac

80
80/1(-60%)
(8) Flame Of Kodiac 80/1, Course winner in March but lost his way since, including on last month's Chepstow stable debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained).
8.5f course winner in March but below par since; plenty to prove..
9
8th (9) Dark Company (20/1 +20%)
Dark Company

20
20/1(+20%)
(9) Dark Company 20/1, Won at Lingfield in July (final start for Mark Johnston) but not one to rely on and below that level in his 3 outings for new yard.
Won a selling handicap for in July; needs to be much better than on his last two starts..
10
9th (10) Caracristi (33/1 -106%)
Caracristi

33
33/1(-106%)
(10) Caracristi 33/1, C&D winner in March. Also recorded some creditable placed efforts later in the spring but off since a lesser run here in June.
Dual C&D winner; recent form suggests she might find a few too good..
2
10th (2) Lunanera (5/2 +0%)
Lunanera

2.5
5/2(+0%)
(2) Lunanera 5/2, Winner at Chepstow (1m) in August on only his second handicap start. Perhaps found third outing in a fortnight too much when well held at Thirsk at the beginning of September. Freshened up since and this looks a good opportunity for him to bounce back.
1m winner (good to firm); has to get back on track and is a likely player if he can..
LTO Selection:

16:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

UNCLE DICK has won three of his last four starts and is a solid candidate to expand on the profitable run. A previous course winner, switching to synthetics holds no fears and with Jack Nicholls taking over from Georgina Dobie in the saddle, and able to claim 5lb, he runs off a highly competitive mark. Previous C&D winner Marmara Star is feared most, with Strawberry Jack and Dark Company also considered.

LUNANERA has been freshened up since a lesser run at Thirsk early last month and is taken to resume his progression and strike under Brodie Hampson. Uncle Dick has been prolific at Brighton recently and rates an obvious threat along with unexposed George Boughey runner Marmara Star.

9/1(-125%)
(6) Luna Magic 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow (1¼m) in June. Back on form when close second of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (1m, soft) 38 days ago. Respected.
Form of her second at Salisbury hasn't worked out well but she's not ruled out..
5
3rd (5) City Escape (6/1 -71%)
City Escape

6
6/1(-71%)
(5) City Escape 6/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in March. Arrives on the back of a pair of 1¼m Ffos Las wins in recent months and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick at a venue which suits.
Hat-trick seeking C&D winner who is up 3lb but could still have a bit more up his sleeve..

4th (4) Prince Ali (11/8 +66%)
Prince Ali

1.375
11/8(+66%)
(4) Prince Ali 11/8, In good form here lately, runner-up twice (including this trip) before getting his head back in front in 8.6f handicap last month. Should remain very competitive up 3 lb.

Former Listed winner who has a bit to prove on his first start on this surface..

(7) Super Stars 10/3, First run since leaving Adrian Keatley when third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm, 12/1) 32 days ago, left poorly placed.
Third over C&D on sole AW start; drops 2lb; needs to step up on latest effort to score..

16
16/1(-78%)
(1) Cavalluccio 16/1, Largely consistent in the first half of 2023, including 2 wins on AW. Has had winf surgery since last seen in June. Claims if fully primed after his break.
Dual AW winner who is mostly consistent; possible excuse latest and could bounce back..
LTO Selection:

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PRINCE ALI has held his form and fully deserved last month's course success in an apprentice handicap. Zoe Lewis being back in the saddle more than offsets the 3lb higher mark and, assuming stepping back up in trip doesn't raise any issues, further success is likely. Luna Magic is another with a live chance based on her peak efforts, while the hat-tick seeking City Escape is a previous C&D winner who cannot be ignored on these terms.

CITY ESCAPE faces a different test than she's encountered when ploughing through the mud to win twice at Ffos Las recently but she's equally as effective at this place and a further 3 lb rise may not prevent her completing a hat-trick. Last month's course scorer Prince Ali is feared most ahead of Luna Magic.

10/1(-82%)
(2) All Is Fair 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Evens, fifth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 103 days ago. Gelded after. Debut run was more promising (winner now rated 102) and he's significantly up in trip here. One to note.

Started 200-1 for his debut three months ago, when finishing a remote last.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

EDGE OF BLUE impressed with his attitude when he made a winning debut over C&D last month and looks progressive enough to cope with a penalty at this early stage of his career. A half-brother to French Group 3 winner Devant, he can use this as a stepping stone towards better things. All Is Fair is open to improvement now he has been gelded, while Firing Squad could also be a different proposition with a visor now tried.

Not a novice that will take much winning and it's easy to see EDGE OF BLUE making it 2-2 for Charlie Appleby with the prospect of improvement on the cards. There is probably more to come from Firing Squad also and he's feared most in a first-time visor.

This looks a good chance for EDGE OF BLUE to defy a penalty and follow up his Yarmouth win. True Blue Gent is second choice.

(12) Imola 3/1, Promising sort. 14/1, third of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut 26 days ago. Winner there has gone in again since and she's open to improvement.
Solid Kempton debut, especially having played up at the start and pulled hard; can improve.

5/4(-51%)
(3) Cervaro Della Sala 5/4, Promising type. Second of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 7/1) on debut 12 days ago, showing plenty of dash. Open to improvement and this could be a good opening for her under Buick.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CERVARO DELLA SALA showed plenty of promise on her debut at Kempton when going down fighting, and with normal improvement expected, she can go one better with William Buick taking over in the saddle. Similar comments apply to Imola, who also ran well at Kempton, behind a winner who has gone in again since. Emu War and Tiger Tulip are entitled to be thereabouts, while Keep My Secret looks the pick of the newcomers.

CERVARO DELLA SALA made a promising start at Kempton and could be hard to beat if improving with William Buick now up. Imola, an encouraging third at the same track first time up, is a big player, while Emu War could have a race in her also.

Imola is entitled to improve, but preference is for CERVARO DELLA SALA, who finished a pleasing second at Kempton 12 days ago.

11/4(+50%)
(1) Peripeteia 11/4, Dual course scorer last autumn, including this trip. Recent turf efforts nothing to get too excited about but she's well handicapped and a return to AW may spark a revival.

Tailed off all three runs (1m2f-1m4f) but connections entitle her to a bit of respect.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

MELLOW MOOD has been a model of consistency this season and recent efforts here and at Lingfield suggest that a maiden victory may be just around the corner. Today may be that day with Shariq Mohd taking off a valuable 7lb, and she is narrowly preferred to unexposed handicap debutant King Of The Pride and Peripeteia, a C&D winner who has dropped down to a very handy mark.

PERIPETEIA is now on a lower mark than when scoring twice here last autumn so might be worth chancing now back here for the first time this year. A market move for James Ferguson handicap newcomer King of The Pride would make him a potential big threat. The reliable Mellow Mood also makes the shortlist.

15/2(-7%)
(2) Study The Stars 15/2, Returned from 11 months off at the top of his game when winning 6-runner handicap at Kempton (1½m) last month. Creditable third there since. Likely to be on the premises.
Has returned in good form and may still have more to come over this trip; contender.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GENESIUS returned from a short break to run an excellent race when second at Newcastle last time out, and this looks like an ideal opportunity to gain a fifth career victory. That may be at the main expense of the relatively consistent Fulfilled and Study The Stars, who is looking to make it three wins in his last four starts.

GENESIUS split a couple of 3-y-os when second at Newcastle recently and may be able to go one better off the same mark. Chase The Dollar hasn't finished out of the first 2 in his last 5 AW starts and is feared most ahead of George Baker's Study The Stars.

(2) Tallulah Myla 11/4, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/8) at this C&D 37 days ago by ½ length from Cinque Verde. Expected to be bang there again.
C&D winner latest; up 4lb but still going the right way and she's a contender again..
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.

TALLULAH MYLA capitalised on a declining mark when landing the spoils over C&D last time out and won with enough in hand to suggest that she can overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings. Cluedo is another to consider on the pick of her efforts and Henry Candy's filly merits respect now dropped into class 5 company. Track-and-trip winner The Defiant may also have a say now returned to this venue.

TALLULAH MYLA landed a gamble in good style over C&D last month and looks good for the follow up after a 4 lb rise. Old-rival Cinque Verde could be a danger back on AW, while Cluedo is a player back in calmer waters.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this looks a suitable opportunity for BERNIE THE BEAR to record a second success in his last three appearances. The Elzaam gelding arrives in good heart and is hard to oppose. Fayasel finished a respectable fourth at Chelmsford on Thursday and shouldn't be far away with a similar performance. Another Dimension is a potential improver with first-time blinkers applied and completes the shortlist.

COLOANE has some solid efforts on the AW to her name and could finally open her account here. Bernie The Bear and Fayasel are a couple of the dangers.

Hard to win with now but went close over C&D in August and should fare better.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MUTANAASEQ has been rolling back the years on turf of late and although the eight-year-old will need to put a below-par effort at Thirsk behind him, he makes plenty of appeal on his return to the all-weather off a lower mark. Liberty Breeze has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in recent appearances and the mare should be in the mix once more, with similar sentiments applicable for Major Gatsby.

MUTANAASEQ didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Thirsk last time and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a fifth success of 2023. Three-time C&D winner Major Gatsby is feared most, although Crystal Dawn and Liberty Breeze need factoring into this open-looking handicap too.

Currently 3-4 over C&D, MAJOR GATSBY gets the nod on his return to Tapeta. Crystal Dawn goes well in the autumn and is next best.

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.
