The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(9) Second Collection 7/1, C&D winner. 6/1, respectable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to My Turn Now in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 32 days ago. Back to a lenient mark and worth taking a chance on with blinkers fitted for the first time. On reduced mark but she needs to rediscover her spark in new headgear.
11
2nd (11) (9/1 +10%) War Zone
9
9/1(+10%)
(11) War Zone 9/1, Respectable 3 lengths sixth of 10 to My Turn Now in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 4/1) 32 days ago. Could get involved if things drop right. Off the mark at Chelmsford in October but was well held behind My Turn Now there last time.
1
3rd (1) (5/1 +50%) Beneficiary
5
5/1(+50%)
(1) Beneficiary 5/1, 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Unseated rider in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Ran well on penultimate outing and shouldn't be dismissed. Unseated early on last time but looks interesting on his second at Southwell last month.
4
4th (4) (10/1 +17%) Desert Master
10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Desert Master 10/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 25 days ago. On a fair mark and may strip fitter for latest run. On dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far over C&D on recent return; not ruled out.
8
5th (8) (15/2 -114%) My Turn Now
7.5
15/2(-114%)
(8) My Turn Now 15/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 25/1, won 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 32 days ago by length from Suanni. Remains well treated on best form, so should go well again. C&D winner who scored after wind surgery at Chelmsford; big player back up 3lb.
7
6th (7) (6/1 +14%) Darkened Edge
6
6/1(+14%)
(7) Darkened Edge 6/1, Winner at Bath in August. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 35 days ago, well positioned. Not discounted. In-form 4yo who was placed over C&D last time; should be in the mix again.
6
7th (6) (13/2 +59%) My Delilah
6.5
13/2(+59%)
(6) My Delilah 13/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Only one win from 22 starts and has finished seventh over C&D last twice; down the list.
10
8th (10) (10/3 -11%) Suanni
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(10) Suanni 10/3, C&D winner. 15/8, creditable length second of 10 to My Turn Now in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 32 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal. Dual C&D winner who was a good second behind My Turn Now at Chelmsford latest; respected.
3
9th (3) (25/1 -14%) Midnightattheoasis
25
25/1(-14%)
(3) Midnightattheoasis 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 80/1) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal. Record of 1-16 and he's struggled in his last two runs; plenty to prove back at 5f.
16:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
My Turn Now was a surprise winner at Chelmsford but finished full of running and, with that being her first appearance after wind surgery, she rates a key player off just 3lb higher. However, DARKENED EDGE has been consistent since the summer and having returned from a short break with a respectable third over C&D, Chris Mason's filly can step forward for a first all-weather success off 1lb lower. Beneficiary and My Delilah complete the shortlist.
SECOND COLLECTION was fifth to My Turn Now last time but she's lurking on an appealing mark and blinkers could spark more of a revival, so she's fancied to turn the tables with that rival. Suanni was second in the same race and should be involved once more.
Preference is for C&D winner MY TURN NOW (nap), who returned from wind surgery with a convincing win at Chelmsford last month.
(6) Well Enough 85/40, Promising type. Fourth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, 150/1) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Should progress and can make his presence felt. One of the main contenders, provided his Kempton effort is backed up.
1
2nd (1) (7/1 +13%) Deira Storm
7
7/1(+13%)
(1) Deira Storm 7/1, Foaled March 16. €35,000 yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Jupyra and 11f-13.5f winner Noblesse d'Argent, both in France. Looks the pick of the newcomers. 35,000euros yearling; by Blue Point; notable yard; interesting newcomer.
5
3rd (5) (5/4 +0%) Soldiers Star
1.25
5/4(+0%)
(5) Soldiers Star 5/4, Promising type. 7/1, second of 7 in novice at Newcastle (6f) on debut 30 days ago, slowly away. Sets the standard with more to come, so obvious claims. Brings the best form, having gone close at Newcastle; commands respect.
4
4th (4) (14/1 +44%) Panama Black
14
14/1(+44%)
(4) Panama Black 14/1, Twice-raced colt. 33/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f) 75 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Modest chance on his 6f efforts; handicaps more suitable soon.
8
5th (8) (20/1 -264%) Best Of All
20
20/1(-264%)
(8) Best Of All 20/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f, 11/4) on debut 26 days ago. Should have more to offer and can't be ruled out. Made late headway over 6f at Kempton; likely to improve upped in trip.
9
6th (9) (125/1 -279%) Little Bittern
125
125/1(-279%)
(9) Little Bittern 125/1, Once-raced filly. 66/1 and cheekpieces on, sixth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 13 days ago. Should improve. Needs to improve markedly on her Lingfield effort.
10
7th (10) (33/1 +0%) Champagne Belle
33
33/1(+0%)
(10) Champagne Belle 33/1, Time Test filly. Dam 1¼m/11f winner. Bred for longer trips but still worth a precautionary betting check. Debutante whose pedigree suggests she'll need longer distances.
2
8th (2) (18/1 -13%) Kazakh
18
18/1(-13%)
(2) Kazakh 18/1, Foaled March 13. 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Josephino. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Wears tongue strap. Respected. 30,000gns 2yo; by Mehmas; wears tongue-tie on debut; market helpful.
7
9th (7) (9/1 +59%) Secret Sausage
9
9/1(+59%)
(7) Secret Sausage 9/1, Foaled February 24. €12,000 yearling, Sands of Mali colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 6f Dazzling Des and 6f/7f winner Merry Secret. Makes some appeal on pedigree. 12,000euros yearling; by Sands Of Mali; check the betting.
12
10th (12) (250/1 -67%) Polk Salad Annie
250
250/1(-67%)
(12) Polk Salad Annie 250/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at this course (6.1f) on debut 35 days ago, very slowly away. Hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in 6f maiden at this venue.
11
11th (11) (200/1 -809%) Juliet Sky
200
200/1(-809%)
(11) Juliet Sky 200/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, seventh of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 26 days ago. Much more needed. Not far behind Best Of All at Kempton; may do better over the extra furlong.
17:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SOLDIERS STAR went agonisingly close over 6f on his racecourse debut at Newcastle. After a slow start, the son of Soldier's Call finished with a determined effort to go down by just a short head and, with an additional furlong sure to suit on pedigree, this appears a good opportunity for him to go one place better. Best Of All and Well Enough are the pick of the others with experience, with Deira Storm an appealing newcomer.
SOLDIERS STAR and Well Enough both arrive on the back of promising debuts and should have more to offer, so they might well fight this out, with the former marginally preferred. Deira Storm is one of a handful of interesting newcomers in opposition.
The form pick is SOLDIERS STAR, ahead of Well Enough. The shortlist is completed by Best Of All and Deira Storm.
(11) Lovesick 9/2, Fourth of 8 in maiden (8/1) at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 42 days ago. 7f promises to suit so she can get involved. Out of a useful performer for her connections; should build on Southwell effort; respected.
1
2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Kev
10
10/1(-25%)
(1) Kev 10/1, Sixth of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f, 11/1) on debut 26 days ago. Should improve on Kempton effort with this longer trip a likely plus; dam 7f AW winner.
6
3rd (6) (3/1 +33%) Moby Quick
3
3/1(+33%)
(6) Moby Quick 3/1, Last of 8 in the mud on debut but showed much more when fourth of 12 in maiden at this course (6.1f, 25/1) 35 days ago. Ran well over 6f here last time; likely to stay 7f; helps to set the form standard.
2
4th (2) (7/2 -27%) Mullwarchar
3.5
7/2(-27%)
(2) Mullwarchar 7/2, Foaled April 23. 32,000 gns yearling, Ulysses colt. Closely related to smart winner up to 1¾m Aljezeera and 1¾m winner Low Profile. Dam French/US 1m-1½m winner. Newcomer of extreme interest. 32,000gns yearling; has a useful pedigree; interesting newcomer.
3
5th (3) (80/1 -60%) Spec Of Light
80
80/1(-60%)
(3) Spec Of Light 80/1, Ninth of 10 in maiden (66/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 13 days ago. Soundly beaten in 1m maiden at Lingfield.
10
6th (10) (33/1 0%) Dixie's Delight
33
33/1(0%)
(10) Dixie's Delight 33/1, Foaled March 23. 17,000 gns yearling, Mohaather filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m out of useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Ventura Mist. 17,000gns yearling; stable not noted for debut scorers.
7
7th (7) (85/40 +39%) Rogue Officer
2.125
85/40(+39%)
(7) Rogue Officer 85/40, Sixth of 10 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 4/1) on debut 46 days ago, very slowly away but did get the hang of things late. Should have more to offer. May do better on several fronts with Southwell effort under his belt.
8
8th (8) (40/1 -43%) Lightupyourlife
40
40/1(-43%)
(8) Lightupyourlife 40/1, 20/1, sixth of 9 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 46 days ago. Ran to a meagre RPR in 7f contest at Southwell.
9
9th (9) (50/1 -257%) Ardilly Breeze
50
50/1(-257%)
(9) Ardilly Breeze 50/1, Foaled April 27. 7,000 gns foal, 5,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to 7.6f winner Poetic Lilly and 6f winner Sense of Security. 5,000gns yearling; by Ardad; check the betting.
4
10th (4) (66/1 -200%) Arctic Mission
66
66/1(-200%)
(4) Arctic Mission 66/1, Foaled March 7. €10,000 yearling, 10,000 gns 2-y-o, El Kabeir gelding. Dam 6f winner. 10,000gns 2yo; yard not generally known for debut scorers.

11th (12) (125/1 -89%) Welsh Fizz
125
125/1(-89%)
(12) Welsh Fizz 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 66/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 39 days ago, slowly away. Down the field in 7f races at Chelmsford.
5
12th (5) (150/1 -200%) Master Milan
150
150/1(-200%)
(5) Master Milan 150/1, Last of 12 in novice (80/1) at Kempton (6f) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. Trailed home last of 12 in 6f contest at Kempton.
17:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Lovesick and Moby Quick appeal most of those with experience, but the bar isn't set too high for MULLWARCHAR to have a big impact on his racecourse bow. A close relative of Listed winner and Park Hill runner-up Aljezeera, the son of Ulysses looks the part on paper and, with his yard having enjoyed plenty of success with similar types on the all-weather over the last 12 months, this could be the perfect starting point for him.
MULLWARCHAR is bred to be useful and given those with form do not set an exacting standard, he may well be up to the task on debut. Rogue Officer and Lovesick should be on the premises.
With improvement likely, LOVESICK is taken to emulate her useful dam by scoring second time out. Mullwarchar is second choice.
(4) Beccali 7/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in novice (15/2) at Chelmsford (7f) 37 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Should progress. Promising fourth when upped to 7f at Chelmsford and he needs a close look on nursery debut.
3
2nd (3) (7/2 +30%) The Hare Rail
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(3) The Hare Rail 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, very good third of 9 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Makes tapeta debut. Eyecatching third at Kempton (6f) last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
2
3rd (2) (13/2 -225%) Misty Sky
6.5
13/2(-225%)
(2) Misty Sky 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner novice at Newmarket (7f, soft, 4/1) 54 days ago, bit in hand. Makes AW and handicap debut. Leading claims. Made all in Newmarket novice last time and she's strongly respected on nursery debut.
1
4th (1) (3/1 +40%) Sex On Fire
3
3/1(+40%)
(1) Sex On Fire 3/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 11-runner novice (11/10) at Southwell (7f) 33 days ago, kept up to work. More on his plate back in a nursery. Made it 2-2 on AW when landing a Southwell novice last time; respected back in a handicap.
5
5th (5) (15/2 -36%) Packetofbiscuits
7.5
15/2(-36%)
(5) Packetofbiscuits 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 3/1) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could have more to offer. Went close at Newcastle and he's open to more progress now upped to 7f on nursery debut.
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SEX ON FIRE is unbeaten on an artificial surface and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the son of Dark Angel gained a third career success on his return to nursery company. Packetofbiscuits shaped as though the extra furlong would aid her cause when runner-up at Newcastle last month, while Newmarket novice winner Misty Sky is feared most of the remainder.
Newmarket novice winner MISTY SKY looks on a fair opening mark and can provide Hugo Palmer with a second successive win in this nursery. Godolphin's Beccali looks capable of better now handicapping and is feared most.
It's hard to rule out any of these but PACKETOFBISCUITS gets the vote ahead of another nursery newcomer in Misty Sky.
(8) Khangai 11/4, Latest win at Southwell in November. 5/4, respectable 2¼ lengths third of 10 to Endofastorm in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces back on. Leading claims. Won at Southwell on second start for new yard; placed in two C&D races since.
1
2nd (1) (16/5 +4%) Forge Valley Lad
3.2
16/5(+4%)
(1) Forge Valley Lad 16/5, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago, hampered. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Ran encouragingly at Lingfield last time; remains 20lb below last winning mark.
3
3rd (3) (11/1 +0%) Starfighter
11
11/1(+0%)
(3) Starfighter 11/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable sixth of 11 over C&D (12/1) 14 days ago. Hindered by wide trip here last time; won this race off 6lb higher in 2022.
11
4th (11) (17/2 +47%) Bond Spirit
8.5
17/2(+47%)
(11) Bond Spirit 17/2, Creditable 2½ lengths fourth of 10 to Endofastorm over C&D 7 days ago. In reasonably good form but needs a bigger effort to regain the winning thread.
12
5th (12) (18/1 -29%) Lednikov
18
18/1(-29%)
(12) Lednikov 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell 34 days ago. Blinkers back on. Enters calculations. On a two-year losing spell but some of his recent form is encouraging.
6
6th (6) (14/1 -27%) Virtual Hug
14
14/1(-27%)
(6) Virtual Hug 14/1, C&D winner. 8¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Casa Luna here 25 days ago. Bounce back needed. Interesting back down in trip, having been successful in last two C&D attempts.
9
7th (9) (8/1 +33%) Bay Of Naples
8
8/1(+33%)
(9) Bay Of Naples 8/1, Course winner. Creditable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Endofastorm over C&D 7 days ago. Five AW wins in his younger days; generally consistent of late; in the mix.
5
8th (5) (28/1 -40%) Irv
28
28/1(-40%)
(5) Irv 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Pontefract in June. 40/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 31 days ago. Back up in trip. Has never won beyond 1m2f and isn't crying out for this return to 1m4f.
10
9th (10) (9/2 +25%) Casa Luna
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(10) Casa Luna 9/2, Course winner in November. Good ½-length second of 10 to Endofastorm in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 7 days ago. Should go well again. In good form here the last twice, second to Endofastorm latest; fighting chance.
4
10th (4) (18/1 -13%) Magnetic North
18
18/1(-13%)
(4) Magnetic North 18/1, Won a pair of claimers in Ireland in the summer. Best run for this yard when fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Redcar (1m, soft) 41 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. On a much lower mark returned to AW but his record in this sphere isn't solid.
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Endofastorm carries a 5lb penalty for her C&D success last week when getting the better of CASA LUNA. However, Philip Kirby's mare could gain her revenge due to her mark being unchanged, and a more forceful ride on the front end may also benefit her over this distance. Khangai finished third as favourite in the aforementioned contest and is expected to be competitive once again.
KHANGAI wasn't seen to best effect when behind Endofastorm and Casa Luna over C&D and is taken to resume winning ways now. Phil Kirby's charge is feared most ahead of Forge Valley Lad.
The return to 1m4f puts VIRTUAL HUG at the top of the list, ahead of Khangai who remains of interest at this level.
(5) Java Raja 4/1, Once-raced colt. Sixth of 9 in novice (15/2) at Redcar (10f, heavy) on debut 49 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. In good hands but may need more time. Ran green at Redcar and no surprise if he left that form well behind; tongue-tie on.
1
2nd (1) (11/8 +45%) Jack Mcnamara
1.375
11/8(+45%)
(1) Jack Mcnamara 11/8, Promising sort who left debut form well behind for Andrew Kinirons when second of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Since joined Simon Pearce and remains open to improvement. Changed hands for 87,000gns after a second in Ireland in October; respected for new yard.
6
3rd (6) (5/2 +0%) Redhot Whisper
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(6) Redhot Whisper 5/2, Not quite at best at Pontefract when last seen in July but made the frame in 3 starts (at up to 10.1f) previously and looks worth a crack at this longer trip on polytrack debut. Player. 0-8 and this is a new trip but he sets a useful standard on best form; respected on return.
9
4th (9) (28/1 -300%) Nala The Lioness
28
28/1(-300%)
(9) Nala The Lioness 28/1, Once-raced filly on Flat. 33/1, fourth of 12 in novice at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Claims if building on that. Second in three bumpers; fair fourth on recent Flat debut but has a lot to find here.
4
5th (4) (28/1 -40%) Comte De Loir
28
28/1(-40%)
(4) Comte De Loir 28/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (12.1f) 39 days ago. Likely one for handicaps later on. Well held in two runs this autumn and will be more interesting when switched to handicaps.
7
6th (7) (80/1 -142%) Fashionelle
80
80/1(-142%)
(7) Fashionelle 80/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good, 7/1) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Others more appealing. Won a minor handicap over hurdles but this looks a tough assignment on her Flat debut.
11
7th (11) (11/2 -22%) Always Waving
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(11) Always Waving 11/2, Posted encouraging second of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 13 months. Not seen since but should appreciate this longer trip and is worth monitoring in market. Hood on first time. Clear promise when second at Kempton (1m) last November; interesting contender on comeback.
2
8th (2) (40/1 +20%) Bye Bye Salam
40
40/1(+20%)
(2) Bye Bye Salam 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Chepstow (10f, good), missing break. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Gelded since last run. Open to progress. Struggled in two runs for Andrew Balding in May and needs a transformation for new yard.
8
9th (8) (200/1 -33%) Misaura
200
200/1(-33%)
(8) Misaura 200/1, Once-raced filly on Flat. 250/1, eleventh of 12 in novice at Newcastle (12.4f) on flat debut 13 days ago. Hard to fancy. Well held in three bumpers and was tailed off on recent Flat debut at Newcastle (1m4f).
12
10th (12) (200/1 -33%) Rohilla
200
200/1(-33%)
(12) Rohilla 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 125/1, eighth of 10 in novice at this course (8.6f) 23 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Hard to recommend. Big prices and finished in rear in two runs here (9.4f/8.6f) last month.
3
|PU| (3) (200/1 -100%) Close To Us
200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Close To Us 200/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Last of 13 in bumper (125/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on NH debut 69 days ago. Likely best watched. Beaten a long way at a big price in sole bumper and can only be watched on Flat debut.
10
|PU| (10) (250/1 -279%) The Kick Inside
250
250/1(-279%)
(10) The Kick Inside 250/1, €4,000 yearling, Motivator filly. Dam French hurdle/chase winner up to 19f. Likely a longer-term prospect. Has a jumping pedigree and is probably best watched on debut.
19:00 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
REDHOT WHISPER would set the standard on his third to Persica at Epsom and has been freshened up since disappointing subsequently at Pontefract. Stepping up to 1m4f is unlikely to be an issue for the son of Too Darn Hot, who gets the vote to shed the maiden tag. Always Waving is expected to improve for going up in trip on her first appearance since November 2023 and is of interest along with Jack McNamara, who was runner-up at the Curragh when last seen.
REDHOT WHISPER has the assistance of Rossa Ryan on his return to the track and is taken to open his account. Jack McNamara and Always Waving may provide the chief threat.
Redhot Whisper and Jack McNamara are respected but Andrew Balding's filly ALWAYS WAVING gets the vote on her comeback.
(10) Bungle Bay 8/1, Four-time course winner who returned to form when creditable third of 12 in handicap over C&D 30 days ago. Claims if building on that. All wins at this venue; placed here last time; nicely treated off this mark.
4
2nd (4) (25/1 -79%) Ravenglass
25
25/1(-79%)
(4) Ravenglass 25/1, Course winner. Latest win here in October. Last of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 15/2) 25 days ago, going off too hard. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Form figures of 120 since wearing blinkers; latest effort is best forgiven.
9
3rd (9) (18/1 -13%) Laura's Breeze
18
18/1(-13%)
(9) Laura's Breeze 18/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 28 days ago, going off too hard. Claims on best form. Attractively weighted but is not solid, having been inconsistent of late.
5
4th (5) (12/1 -9%) Diamondsinthesand
12
12/1(-9%)
(5) Diamondsinthesand 12/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 41 Flat runs. 12/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Form dipped last week (poor draw); not sure what to expect with usual hood removed.
2
5th (2) (7/1 +50%) Al Shabab
7
7/1(+50%)
(2) Al Shabab 7/1, 9/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Work to do. Inconsistent maiden but ran well off 2lb higher on sole C&D attempt.
3
6th (3) (12/1 +14%) Dazitoo
12
12/1(+14%)
(3) Dazitoo 12/1, Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 22/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Others preferred. Inconsistent maiden but could go well off a reduced mark returned to 7f.
8
7th (8) (9/1 -13%) Heerathetrack
9
9/1(-13%)
(8) Heerathetrack 9/1, Not seen to best effect when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/4) 11 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Both wins on Polytrack; 0-8 on Tapeta but current mark is workable.
1
8th (1) (11/2 -10%) Bossy Parker
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Bossy Parker 11/2, C&D winner. 5/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Warrants respect. Well treated on his C&D wins in February/March; recent form is respectable.
11
9th (11) (12/1 -60%) Eye Of The Water
12
12/1(-60%)
(11) Eye Of The Water 12/1, C&D winner who posted his best effort for some time when good second of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 46 days ago. Likely contender. Drops back to 7f for first time in a while but has a C&D win on his CV.
7
10th (7) (13/8 +46%) Plumette
1.625
13/8(+46%)
(7) Plumette 13/8, Multiple course winner who posted another creditable effort when second of 11 in handicap over C&D (4/1) 14 days ago, staying on well. Just 1 lb higher now and holds strong claims. Five-time course winner; 0-15 this year but is knocking at the door; respected.
12
11th (12) (50/1 +0%) Morning Suit
50
50/1(+0%)
(12) Morning Suit 50/1, 40/1, last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Holds weak claims on his form for current stable; new headgear.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
EYE OF THE WATER has raced with more zest since being fitted with a visor and he makes plenty of appeal reverting to the all-weather. The veteran found only a resurgent rival too strong at Bath last time out and a similar performance on Tapeta may prove sufficient. Triple C&D winner Plumette arrives on the back of a close-up second here and another good account is forecast. Bungle Bay may fare best of the remainder.
PLUMETTE figures off a handy mark and has run well in all 4 starts since rejoining David Loughnane. She can return to winning ways. Eye of The Water and Bungle Bay can also make their presence felt.
Judged on her recent efforts, PLUMETTE looks particularly solid. Bossy Parker is second choice.
(8) Paradoxical 11/2, 11/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 25 days ago. Possibilities. Gives the impression he could go well off a reduced mark back up in trip.
6
2nd (6) (5/6 +63%) Come On John
0.833333
5/6(+63%)
(6) Come On John 5/6, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in October. 11/8, good third of 9 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 35 days ago, despite missing break. Back down in trip and weighted to go close. In good form at 1m3f/1m4f the last twice; has won over C&D; still well treated.
4
3rd (4) (7/1 +0%) Port Noir
7
7/1(+0%)
(4) Port Noir 7/1, 6-time course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 10/1) 25 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Not taken lightly. Scored twice here in October and has remained in form since; solid.
1
4th (1) (7/2 +0%) Strategic Fortune
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(1) Strategic Fortune 7/2, 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 11 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 25 days ago, running on. Merits consideration. Triple C&D scorer; creditable second here last month (started favourite); strong contender.
3
5th (3) (16/1 -14%) Vecchio
16
16/1(-14%)
(3) Vecchio 16/1, 14/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago. No forlorn hope. Maiden; recent form includes two encouraging efforts at this track.
10
6th (10) (16/1 -100%) Keen Interest
16
16/1(-100%)
(10) Keen Interest 16/1, Unreliable individual. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, well positioned. Can give a good account if on his A-game again. Generally consistent in last five months; fourth over C&D last week.
12
7th (12) (50/1 -52%) Honrado
50
50/1(-52%)
(12) Honrado 50/1, 14/1, first run since leaving Cian Hughes when tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Maiden who stays 1m4f; likely found 7f too sharp last time (stable debut).
9
8th (9) (150/1 -200%) Speed Court
150
150/1(-200%)
(9) Speed Court 150/1, Last of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Maiden; has weak claims on his form for current stable.
11
9th (11) (66/1 -100%) Reason To Pass
66
66/1(-100%)
(11) Reason To Pass 66/1, 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Has work to do. Maiden; not solid on form; always behind in C&D event last time.
2
10th (2) (80/1 -142%) Stoneacre
80
80/1(-142%)
(2) Stoneacre 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in novice (125/1) at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Regressive at novice level; needs a big turnaround on handicap debut.
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PORT NOIR has posted three creditable efforts in defeat since landing the spoils over C&D and a 1lb drop in the ratings for her latest fourth over slightly shorter may prove lenient. Robert Stephens' mare ticks plenty of the right boxes and an 11th career victory could be in the offing. The biggest threat may emerge from last month's track-and-trip runner-up Strategic Fortune, although Come On John could also have a say if given a strong pace to aim at.
Lots with chances but COME ON JOHN rates the pick of the weights so is taken to build on his good recent third here and bag another C&D victory. Course specialist Port Noir heads the list of dangers ahead of fellow C&D scorer Strategic Fortune.
Being still attractively treated, STRATEGIC FORTUNE could well register a fourth C&D success. Come On John is second pick.
(9) Walking On Clouds 7/4, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 2/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 33 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Possibilities. Last win was in May 2023 and has an uninspiring record this year; needs to raise his game.
5
2nd (5) (6/1 -33%) Beauzon
6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Beauzon 6/1, 7-time C&D winner. 6 wins from 19 runs this year. Latest win here in November. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at this course (5.1f) 2 days ago. Two C&D wins in the last two months; had excuses over 5f here on Saturday.
10
3rd (10) (18/1 -29%) Watermelon Sugar
18
18/1(-29%)
(10) Watermelon Sugar 18/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 28/1) 61 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Has fair strike-rate for one of his ability but recent efforts have been underwhelming.
6
4th (6) (8/1 -14%) Not Just Yet
8
8/1(-14%)
(6) Not Just Yet 8/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Good neck second of 11 to Beauzon in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs considering. Record of 1-23 but he went close behind Beauzon over C&D last time; shortlisted.
7
5th (7) (14/1 +44%) King Of War
14
14/1(+44%)
(7) King Of War 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 6 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 0-9 on AW and has finished down the field in his last three starts; others preferred.
1
6th (1) (18/1 -29%) Phoenix Beach
18
18/1(-29%)
(1) Phoenix Beach 18/1, Course winner. Too free when sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 6 days ago. Merits consideration. Triple Tapeta winner but he's gone off the boil and needs to rediscover his spark.
3
7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Zaman Daar
12
12/1(+14%)
(3) Zaman Daar 12/1, Winner at Windsor in June. Hooded for 1st time, below form sixth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Ripon (6f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 161 days. Still unexposed on AW but has bit to prove after 161 days off and others are preferred.
4
8th (4) (16/1 -256%) Yoshimi
16
16/1(-256%)
(4) Yoshimi 16/1, 13/2, won 10-runner handicap at this course (7.2f) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won over 7f here latest and he's a big player again if he copes with this drop back to 6f.
8
9th (8) (6/1 +25%) Alafdhal
6
6/1(+25%)
(8) Alafdhal 6/1, C&D winner. 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and in the mix. Consistent sort who went close at Lingfield latest and he should give it another good go.
11
10th (11) (22/1 +12%) Radiant Angel
22
22/1(+12%)
(11) Radiant Angel 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this course (7.2f) 25 days ago, nearest finish. One to consider. Still unexposed and now returns to sprinting but he needs a transformation.
2
11th (2) (14/1 -27%) Moe's Legacy
14
14/1(-27%)
(2) Moe's Legacy 14/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 7/1, last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 25 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. Won here last month but she needs to bounce back after a laboured effort last time.
12
12th (12) (50/1 -100%) Soldiers Design
50
50/1(-100%)
(12) Soldiers Design 50/1, Last of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 31 days ago. Has work to do. Yet to sparkle in four runs for current yard and overall record now stands at 1-11.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Assuming MOE'S LEGACY can be forgiven her recent below-par run under a penalty in a class 5 at Lingfield, the Ron Harris-trained filly could provide some value back at the scene of last month's 5f success. She collared Alafdhal on that occasion, although the runner-up then made the frame again in that aforementioned Lingfield heat so is an obvious threat. Last-time-out 7f course winner Yoshimi is another must for consideration.
This is wide open and it could go the way of ALAFDHAL who can boast a C&D win and should benefit from the return to this trip having posted a good Lingfield third over 5f last time out. Yoshimi heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent course victory with Radiant Angel, Moe's Legacy and Beauzon all weighted to have a say.
The vote goes to NOT JUST YET, who went close over C&D last time and is a big player if this sets up for his closing style.

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.
