LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A half-brother to a winner over this sort of trip, JUAN SOLO steps into a nursery off a workable mark and looks worth chancing in a race lacking in depth. The Sylvester Kirk-trained gelding has already proven to be effective on Tapeta, with two placed efforts in restricted maidens at this venue, and can potentially do better over this longer distance. Buttercross Flyer is respected as the only previous winner in the field, while Fly Pass is handily drawn if he takes to racing in first-time blinkers.

QUEEN OF ATLANTIS was in the process of showing much-improved form making yard/handicap debut until short of room inside the final 1f at Lingfield earlier this month, and looks an interesting contender eased 2 lb. Buttercross Flyer had excuses at Nottingham last time and is worth another chance, while handicap-debutant Juan Solo has got better with each run.

Preference is handicap newcomer JUAN SOLO, who has shown up well at this track on his last two outings

LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

El Bufalo sets the standard from those with previous experience and is noteworthy turned out relatively quickly after a respectable second-placed finish on debut at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Very likely to be wiser now, another big run is expected from this son of Havana Grey. However, GOLDEN BERENICE rates the pick of Richard Fahey's two entrants and, with her sex allowance a handy asset, she can capitalise from a plum draw. Fellow newcomer Collusion completes the shortlist along with Quercine, who is another potential improver.

EL BUFALO will set the bar pretty high if stepping up as expected on his Newcastle debut effort. Quercine shaped quite nicely on her debut at Chelmsford last month. Collusion is one of a few newcomers who need keeping an eye on in the betting.

Quercine looks the clear second best on racecourse evidence but EL BUFALO showed much more when he was second at Newcastle.

(8) Petit Calvados 7/2, Creditable third of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Dundalk (6f) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly.

(7) Star Of Lady M 13/2, Latest win at Lingfield in November. Rare below-par effort when seventh of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford (5f) since but the type to bounce back.

Betweenthesticks

7
7/1(+13%)
(9) Betweenthesticks 7/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 27 days ago.
His last win was 14 months ago but he's had several close calls this year; possibilities.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Dynamic Force and Star Of Lady M appeal on recent form and merit places on the shortlist, while the well-travelled Petit Calvados has winning form on Deauville's Polytrack and can go well if he takes to the surface on his Tapeta debut. However, WALKING ON CLOUDS is better than he has shown in three previous starts for the John Butler yard and may offer a bit of value off 3lb lower than his last winning mark (turf).

DYNAMIC FORCE shaped well at Chelmsford last time and could take a bit of stopping if the cheekpieces continue to work. Irish-raider Petit Calvados can give him most to do ahead of Star of Lady M, who is the type to bounce back from a rare below-par run last time.

An open race in which recent Chelmsford runner-up DYNAMIC FORCE gets the vote ahead of Nelson Gay and Petit Calvados.

170,000gns yearling; one of two runners for the yard and she needs a close look in market.
LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Queen Maker threw away her chances when rearing in the stalls on her Chelmsford debut, but she should have learned from that experience and could be a different proposition here. Newcomer Trivia Quest, a daughter of Dandy Man and related to numerous winners, is respected on her debut and she could go well, but QUEUES LIKELY is preferred. Already successful at Windsor and Chelmsford this year, she only has to give 6lb to her rivals here which may not be beyond Stan Moore's daughter of Massaat.

COLOUR CODE's debut form is strong and she shaped like she would improve for the experience, so she gets the marginal vote over Leveret, who has achieved a bit more in form terms. Trivia Quest is an interesting newcomer.

This looks tricky but COLOUR CODE made a promising start at Newmarket in August and she gets the vote on her return.

0-8 in handicaps but he's generally consistent and shouldn't be far away.
LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Visibility scored at Southwell last time out and he can go well carrying a 5lb penalty alongside See You Boy, who won at Lingfield nine days ago. Both could get involved, but they have to give weight to the lightly-raced SMOKY MOUNTAIN. A maiden winner over C&D earlier in the month on his first start since April, the son of Frankel makes his handicap debut now and may have a lot more to offer.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN wasn't hard pressed to open his account in a C&D maiden 18 days ago and, with improvement on the cards, he could have been let in lightly off a mark of 77. He's preferred to fellow last-time-out winners Just Janet and See You Boy.

The vote goes to SMOKY MOUNTAIN, who won by 4l in a C&D novice on his recent return and is open to more progress on his handicap debut.

18
18/1(-50%)
(11) College Wizard 18/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 16/1) 36 days ago. One for the shortlist.
0-11 but he's reached the frame in 7f handicaps in last two starts; not ruled out.
LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INTOXICATA has been a model of consistency over the past couple of months and Ed Dunlop's filly appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Aussi Mandate is capable of better after finishing third at Kempton but the drop in trip might not see her in the best light. With that in mind, the main danger could prove to be Diamondsinthesand, who scored over C&D on his penultimate start.

A case can be made for a few of these but INTOXICATA is already a three-time winner in 2023 and signalled she is ready to go in again when a good Southwell second last time out. Diamondsinthesand is a fellow C&D scorer and feared most, although a solid case can also be made for in-form duo Blue Collar Lad and College Wizard.

Top of the list is INTOXICATA (nap) who has a record of 112322 since the end of October. Aussi Mandate is feared most.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

All three of TIGER BEETLE's victories have come at this track and the drop back in distance appears unlikely to inconvenience the five-year-old in his attempt for a third victory in five outings. Hale End ran with credit when third to the selection last month and is capable of another decent showing, while others for the shortlist include Cosmos Raj and Break Point.

HALE END is knocking on the door and can get back to winning ways eased 1 lb here having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third here last time. Tiger Beetle came out on top that day and rates the chief threat to Michael Dods's 3-y-o, with Wadacre Grace another who can have a say in an open contest.

This looks a bit trappy but the vote goes to five-time AW winner WADACRE GRACE, who made a bold bid over C&D 13 days ago.

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.
