16:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Perfect Life caught the eye when making the frame on his introduction at Southwell and that experience will stand him in good stead. In KING OF NARNIA, though, he comes up against a well-related son of Kingman who will have undergone further education since refusing to go into the stalls on his intended debut at Kempton. Ray Gun was a 135,000-euro breeze-up purchase, while A War Eagle's price rose to 75,000 euros as a yearling, and both are other newcomers to consider.

An ordinary maiden in all likelihood and the smartly-bred KING OF NARNIA is taken to make a winning start. Perfect Life showed plenty to work on when third at Southwell and looks the obvious threat.

Pedigree and the Gosdens' record in this sphere point us towards a winning debut for KING OF NARNIA.

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

HIPPOCRATIC OATH may have had to settle for second when on a hat-trick mission at Kempton, but there was enough merit in his performance to earn a further 2lb rise. That doesn't come into effect until after this, though, and he can take full advantage. Fernando has also burst into life since entering nurseries and came within a whisker of supplementing his Yarmouth triumph at Southwell. There is more to come from him, while My Mate Beattie is worth a look on her first start in a handicap.

Progressive-pair HIPPOCRATIC OATH and Fernando are the pair to focus on, with narrow preference for the former.

He was unable to complete the hat-trick last week, but HIPPOCRATIC OATH is officially 2lb well-in before his new mark comes into force.

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MEHMAS SHY ANGEL went into a few notebooks when a never-nearer seventh on debut at Kempton. She is expected to come on significantly from the outing and is preferred to Never Let Go and Astral Sea, who also showed promise first time out. As a half-sister to St Leger hero Masked Marvel who is from the family of Arc winner Waldgeist, Warm Glow is expected to come into her own over further so Kubey might be the pick of the newcomers.

MEHMAS SHY ANGEL caught the eye with the late progress she made when mid-field in a Kempton novice on debut and she's preferred to newcomers Kubey and Left Over Love.

Probably the best form on offer is that of NEVER LET GO who was a decent sixth at Newmarket last month. Mehmas Shy Angel is next.

18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MYSTERY OF LOVE showed improvement from her first to her second start when running on for third at Southwell and she is entitled to step forward again. William Haggas' filly gets the vote ahead of Lightning Force, who has switched yards since a promising fourth at Kempton in June, when not beaten far over this distance. Mother Mara could be a different proposition on the all-weather, while Kon Tiki is an intriguing newcomer for the Jane Chapple-Hyam team.

Those with previous experience set only a fair standard and it could pay to side with newcomer KON TIKI. She makes obvious appeal on paper as a half-sister to a smart all-weather performer and market confidence behind her would look significant. Mystery of Love and Bintjan head the dangers, along with Mother Mara.

Lightning Force sets the benchmark but she could prove vulnerable off a six-month break so the newcomer KON TIKI rates as the pick.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tad unlucky not to get his head in front when carried right at the finish over C&D last time out, ROSENPUR may be able to gain compensation on this occasion. He can break the maiden at the 15th time of asking, with recent Chelmsford scorer Profitman and C&D winner Split Elevens heading the list of dangers. Others to note include Reputation, Rob's Umberella and Valadero.

ROSENPUR looked unlucky not to open his account having been caught further back than ideal when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and, with that performance backed up by the clock, he's fancied to make a bold bid to deservedly shed the maiden tag. Last-time-out winners Profitman and Reputation are a couple of likely threats, as is another in=form sort, Valadero.

A shade unlucky here last time, SPLIT ELEVENS has winning C&D form and gets the vote to repeat the feat.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

PARRAMOUNT was always in control over C&D when accounting for Optician by more than three lengths and, despite being 4lb worse off, Charlie Longsdon's charge is taken to confirm his superiority. Alright Sunshine returned to form with a highly creditable second over 2m at Lingfield last time out and he has to enter calculations off a mark 24lb lower than his last success.

Having not been seen to anything like best effect on his previous start, PARRAMOUNT put it all together under a pro-active ride when opening his account on the Flat over C&D 4 weeks ago and a 4 lb rise for that success should see Charlie Longsdon's 8-y-o very competitive again. Optician, who chased home the selection on that occasion, and Cardano can provide chief resistance.

The race may be set up for PARRAMOUNT (nap) who stayed on strongly to win over C&D last month. The main danger could be Cardano.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

It took Bass Player 10 attempts to get off the mark on the all-weather but he kept on to score over track and trip last month, despite looking ungainly when asked for effort near the finish. A 2lb higher mark looks fair and he can go well again. However, EQUION is the one who appeals most based on recent performances and this previous C&D winner looks the way to go with his yard in good form. Stipulation needs a betting check on his handicap debut.

Having had a productive autumn, EQUION turned in another excellent effort when runner-up at Newcastle 11 days ago and from the same mark, he seems sure to give it another good go. Bass Player isn't straightforward but he finally won a handicap over C&D last time and this is no stronger, with Willy Campbell another to consider.

Berkshire Phantom can go well granted luck in running but RADIANT BEAUTY could prove well suited by a return to AW.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

EAGLE DAY won back-to-back races in the summer and, having scored with plenty in hand over this C&D 11 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him repeat the feat under a 5lb penalty. A winner over 1m on her penultimate start, Charmaine is far less exposed than the rest and is another must for consideration granted her potential to improve over this trip. Orbaan and Wyvern lurk on dangerous marks and are also dangerous to rule out.

CHARMAINE continued her theme of big race-by-race progress when fourth on handicap debut at Lingfield a month ago and as an unexposed 3-y-o representing a good yard, she's a tempting alternative to Eagle Day, who is sure to be popular under a penalty. Orbaan is likely to give it another good go.

Course winner EAGLE DAY scored emphatically last time and is taken to do so again under his penalty (2lb ahead of the handicapper).

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

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

There is little to choose between these and the betting might be a good source of clues. Savalas won over C&D last month and is notable off just 3lb higher, while fellow track-and-trip winners Bomb Squad and Q Twenty Boy also warrant close inspection. However, MAY REMAIN fits the bill as a live contender and, back down to a nice mark, looks worth chancing for a bit of value.

BOMB SQUAD rates the pick of these weights on the back of his good recent Newcastle second so is fancied to go in at the chief expense of fellow C&D winner Savalas. You Are Everything, Rogue Thunder and May Remain also need factoring into this open handicap.

Bankrupt is thrown in and needs a close market check but as thing stand the reliable BOMB SQUAD is preferred.

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.
