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

The Geordie Ginge remains a maiden after 10 outings over hurdles but he wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth at Wetherby at the start of this month. Hannah McMahon's gelding will be hoping to put his experience in this sphere to good effect, but first-time cheekpieces will need to improve him in order to reverse form with LATHAN, who finished ahead in third last time. The lightly-raced five-year-old is heading in the right direction and he won't find an easier opportunity to open his account.

Just 2 face the starter here and recent Wetherby third LATHAN is much preferred to The Geordie Ginge.

It could be worth taking a chance on THE GEORDIE GINGE reversing Wetherby placings with Lathan with cheekpieces now tried.

GENERAL HUBBLE turns out again quickly here after an easy victory at Fairyhouse on Tuesday. The Telescope gelding ran out a six-length winner over three miles and given the style of his victory, the race hopefully won't have taken too much out of him. Connections claim 7lb off him again with Carl Millar taking the ride. Emily In Paris has run well on her last couple of outings, both over timber, and she has to be on the shortlist now racing off a few pounds lower over fences. Jack Kennedy has been on Pictures Of Home both times he has won and the top-weight could be place material.

GENERAL HUBBLE seems to have found his feet for Gordon Elliott now and, having scored from out of the handicap at Fairyhouse 3 days ago, he's effectively only 1 lb higher now, so he's the leading contender ahead of Emily In Paris, who ran well over hurdles at Down Royal a fortnight ago. Bondi Boy Blue is another one to consider.

Preference is for GENERAL HUBBLE(nap) after readily landing a handicap at Fairyhouse on Tuesday. The mandatory penalty may not stop him

Running off just 2lb higher than his last winning rating, MIXEDWAVE has plenty to recommend him with the ground in his favour and he's likely to be sharper after blowing the cobwebs away at Uttoxeter last month. Stringtoyourbow has yet to sparkle over fences but, like the selection, might have needed the run last time out and could be a different proposition here. Ali Star Bert is back on a winning mark and shouldn't be underestimated.

Preference is for STRINGTOYOURBOW, who figures off a handy mark and arrives on the back of a creditable third at Worcester last month. Big Bee Hive and Hamartia can also make their presence felt in an open-looking contest.

This assignment shouldn't strain STRINGTOYOURBOW's stamina quite as much as Worcester last time. He's favoured over Big Bee Hive.

YOU SOME GIRL's stamina appeared stretched by the 3m2f distance when second at Kelso last time and compensation could be on the cards over this extended 2m7f trip. Charlie Maggs can now use his handy 7lb claim and an improved bid is forecast. Jeteye found only the fast-improving Skyjack Hijack too strong over C&D 15 days ago and Sam England's inmate is feared most racing off an unchanged mark. Jimli's Island and Hostile Hotelier are others to note reverting to timber.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for JETEYE who can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second and is now taken to get back to winning ways with that form working out well. Kajaki heads the list of dangers on the back of his resurgent Sedgefield third, with You Some Girl, Hostile Hotelier and Grass's Jet also in the mix.

Having run well when second to a subsequent winner over C&D last time JETEYE (nap) is taken to win his second race of the season.

A tricky-looking contest and JASKO DES DAMES may be able to double up over fences after making a successful start at Wexford late last month. The It's Gino gelding was value for a bit more than his winning margin of half a length that day, after getting under the last fence, and there looks to be scope for further improvement. Broomfield Bijou also carries a winner's penalty and the mare takes a drop in class after finishing third in Grade 3 company here last month. Chase newcomer Undeniable Alibi is another for the shortlist. The Saint des Saints gelding was a point-to-point winner and may improve on his hurdles form from last season.

PARK THE GIANT was in contention when making a mess of the last on chasing debut and there's more to offer, so he's preferred to Jasko Des Dames, who opened his account at the first time of asking in this sphere. Broomfield Bijou is also capable of playing a part following a good third in Grade 3 company here last time.

BROOMFIELD BIJOU gets the nod. A course winner over timber, her Gr 3 third here last time reads well in the context of this race.

These fences can be tricky to negotiate and with that in mind, previous course winner ERIC CARMEN might have an advantage over the rest. The Gary Hammer-trained gelding has been struggling to find his form over longer distances of late and, getting plenty of weight from these rivals, dropping to this trip could be a profitable move. Lady Gwen is unexposed as a chaser and warrants respect as a result, while Jolyjump is another potential improver to seriously consider.

LADY GWEN isn't straightforward but made a good start over fences at Exeter last month and can get off the mark over the larger obstacles here. Jolyjump may provide the chief threat.

Back around a suitably sharp track, LADY GWEN can make it second time lucky over fences. Jolyjump can go close if jumping better.

Quickly turned out after another easy success at Fontwell last week, DOUBLE POWERFUL continues to go from strength to strength and it is difficult to know where his ceiling lies. Neil Mulholland's charge can bring up the six-timer at the main expense of Plaisir Des Flos, who arrives on the same winning streak. American Sniper could go close off just 1lb higher than when taking this contest last year, while the progressive Il Va De Soi is another to consider, as well as Kempton scorer Rebel Intentions.

PLAISIR DES FLOS found further progress when bringing up the 5-timer on return at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, only needing hands-and-heels riding to see off another upwardly-mobile sort (the pair clear). It's feasible to think the handicapper hasn't caught up with him yet on that evidence and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o makes strong appeal again. Double Powerful is of a very similar ilk and he's feared, as is Tune In A Box and Il Va De Soi in an ultra-competitive opener.

Although exposed, WHATSUPWITHYOU has been running perfectly well off his tough mark and today has the assistance of Callum Pritchard.

Having finished a close-up second on his last two appearances, compensation could be heading in COQOLINO's direction. Ben Haslam's charge has done little wrong in recent months and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get his head in front, despite a 3lb higher mark making life tougher. Autumn Return had excuses at Uttoxeter (found to have sustained a wound to right-fore) and a reproduction of her Perth victory should see her in the thick of the action. Imperial Merlin could also go close if cutting out the errors in this discipline.

AUTUMN RETURN got off to the perfect start over fences at Perth only to suffer a leg cut at Uttoxeter last time and this likeable mare is worth siding with to bounce back in style. Coqolino comes here in very good nick and rates a big threat.

Preference is for BENSON, who is well handicapped on his best form and should improve on last month's run at Hexham.

Joseph O'Brien saddles three in this and PUTURHANDSTOGETHER may prove the pick on his hurdling debut. The Caravaggio gelding showed a nice level of ability on that Flat, winning a Curragh handicap off a mark of 79, and his half-brother Showurappreciation won over hurdles last year. Stablemate Turn And Finish has hurdling experience under his belt and is entitled to be a leading contender. He was a fine third at Galway 20 days ago, while Babich ran well in Roscommon maiden on the Flat last month and is another to note on his jumping bow.

PUTURHANDSTOGETHER achieved a fairly useful level of form on the Flat and should be well prepared for this hurdling debut by his top yard, so he's preferred to stablemate Turn And Finish, who stayed on well into third at Galway last time. Ballyearl is an interesting newcomer on pedigree.

TURN AND FINISH ran very well over hurdles at Galway and comes right into it. His previous experience might just prove crucial

A mistake four out put paid to the unexposed DAVIDOC rewarding favourite-backers in a hurdle race at Plumpton last month but, looking every inch a chaser, the switch to this discipline can see the Ben Pauling-trained gelding make amends. Icare Grandchamp has winning form over fences and is feared most off a competitive mark. Last-time-out hurdle winners Begin The Luck and Doyen For Money command respect but have more to do from their revised marks now switched to chasing.

It's likely that point winners DAVIDOC and Doyen For Money will step up on what they showed over hurdles now switched to the larger obstacles. Marginal preference is for the former, who promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he hails from a yard that has made a very bright start to the season. Icare Grandchamp is third choice ahead of Begin The Luck.

Topweight DAVIDOC should take well to chasing and is first choice ahead of Icare Grandchamp, who looks another solid contender.

A comfortable winner on his debut over fences at Chepstow last month in a race that has worked out well since, SPRINGWELL BAY is taken to continue his progression at a track where he scored at this meeting last year over hurdles. The step back up to 3m should aid his cause and the seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Hyland, who is already two from three over fences and could not have done it any easier when scoring over C&D last month. Resplendent Grey impressed at Uttoxeter and this rise in distance could bring about further improvement.

Preference is for RESPLENDENT GREY, who looked a smart novice in the making at Uttoxeter and he looks ready for both this step up in class and trip. Springwell Bay also made a winning chase debut at Chepstow and is greatly respected given that, like the selection, he is open to improvement in this sphere. Hyland is impossible to discount on the back of his emphatic C&D success but Buddy One, though the pick of these over hurdles, has not looked a natural over fences so far.

Promising chaser SPRINGWELL BAY (nap) is taken to defy a 5lb penalty for his tidy Chepstow success. Hyland is feared most.

FROMHERETOETERNITY is unbeaten in two starts for the Jennie Candlish stable and couldn't have been more impressive in novice company at Hexham last week. The seven-year-old steps back into the handicap ranks with a 7lb penalty to shoulder but that is unlikely to prevent her from completing the hat-trick. Starlyte was a comfortable winner at Kelso recently and it would be no surprise to see her heavily involved here, while See A Stride could take third spot.

FROMHERETOETERNITY is thriving for current connections and is well fancied to complete the hat-trick with the potential for even more improvement. Fellow last-time-out winner Starlyte is a threat and Kay Tara Tara can play a part if stepping forward from her stable debut.

Following her easy novice win at Hexham a week ago, FROMHERETOETERNITY is taken to follow up with her penalty.

The Willie Mullins-trained IRANCY should prove hard to beat on his second start for the stable. A winner in his native France as a three-year-old, the gelding made a promising start for new connections when third on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last December. Given that both the winner and runner-up went on to prove themselves in Grade 1 company, this looks a nice opportunity for the six-year-old. Rapparee Champ, a winner on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien, has been improving with each run over hurdles. Charles Byrnes' representative holds every chance of opening his account in this sphere. Point-to-point/bumper scorer Will The Wise is another who is worthy of respect.

IRANCY is in good hands and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third on his hurdles bow at Fairyhouse in December. He can land the spoils here. Rapparee Champ and Will The Wise are feared most.

Preference is for IRANCY who was third in a very hot maiden hurdle when last seen almost a year ago and should take beating

LITTLE WATSON won a bumper on his racecourse debut for Nigel Twiston-Davies in May and was sold shortly after before moving to the Suzy Smith stable. He was beaten less than a length by the odds-on favourite over this C&D on his sole outing since and, if he improves again, then he could go one better today. Tony Joe makes his debut and has the pedigree as a son of Westerner but he may be better over further, while Remus showed glimmers of ability on his debut.

TONY JOE makes stacks of appeal on paper as a half-brother to Ahoy Senor and from a yard that makes hay in these races, so he could have the measure of the penalised Little Watson. Benmore is another newcomer to note.

The vote goes to LITTLE WATSON, who won on his debut in May and was only narrowly denied under a penalty over C&D on recent return.

Already installed as favourite for the Champion Chase next March, big things are expected of JONBON this campaign as he looks to build on a brace of Grade 1 victories in the spring. A winner of nine of his 11 starts over the larger obstacles, it is difficult to look past Nicky Henderson's stable star as Edwardstone aims to close the almost 10-length gap between them in this contest last year. The son of Kayf Tara could be dangerous if left to an easy lead, though, while Boothill looks most likely to capitalise on the back of wind surgery if those two falter.

It's hard to look beyond JONBON, who has few peers at up to 2½m over fences and he beat Edwardstone on each of their three meetings last term, including on his reappearance in this race and final start of that campaign in the Celebration Chase at Sandown. Boothill, who was a place behind Edwardstone in the latter race, is an appealing option for forecast purposes given his excellent record when fresh.

At the likely prices, a chance is taken that EDWARDSTONE can finally beat Jonbon who commands the usual respect all the same.

Kingofthegame took a step forward from his chasing debut to make the frame at Kelso, but stepping up in trip here is a slight concern. Therefore, it may pay to side with HOME SWEET HIGHWAY, who was admittedly well beaten into third at Carlisle but now drops in class off a 3lb lower mark. Donald McCain's charge makes only his fourth chase start and could be the one to beat, while Halfway House Lad also has a squeak.

KINGOFTHEGAME looked ahead of this mark when finishing well into third at Kelso last time and most of his rivals have something to prove, so he's the obvious choice to take this. Home Sweet Highway is probably the main danger from a handicapping perspective but needs to step up on his last couple of efforts.

Assuming they see out this stayers' trip and cut out the errors, KINGOFTHEGAME can lead home Halfway House Lad.

The in-form JAKE PETER can complete a hat-trick for trainer Mark Cahill. A C&D winner last month, the veteran followed up with a commanding success at Cork last time. Best on a sound surface, the gelding has been fortunate that the weather remains dry and another bold showing likely beckons. Vischio is unquestionably well handicapped over hurdles although the mare can sometimes ruin her chances at the start. If getting away on terms, the seven-year-old looks one of the more likely types in a competitive affair. The consistent Luimneach is also of interest.

JAKE PETER arrives in fine form and ought to have conditions to suit once more. He may be able to complete the hat-trick. Gwan Tadhg and Inchiquin Star head the list of dangers.

VISCHIO has run well in three of her last four, trip and ground will suit and she was just denied on her last visit to this track.

He made all when last seen in May and with Richie McLernon keeping the ride, he could try the same tactics here. Bennettshill pulled up on his debut under NH rules at Bangor but did win his point-to-point at Ballingarry and can only improve, while newcomer Classical Sting is one to watch in the betting.

This looks a good chance for Plumpton bumper winner DANCE AND GLANCE to make a successful start to his hurdle career, with Classical Sting best of the rest.

Conflated's presence in this field leaves all but three running from out of the handicap and the dual Grade 1 winner demands respect on his cross country debut, but a chance is taken on the experience of FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY. He represents a Gavin Cromwell stable which has a fantastic recent record at Prestbury Park and he's performed well over the 'banks and hedges' on numerous occasions in the past, including when third over C&D last December. Mister Coffey is interesting on his first start in this discipline, while French raider Sweet David adds further spice to the race.

The fascinating contender here is CONFLATED. Twice placed in Grade 1s (including here) during the spring, Gordon Eliott's high-class chaser should be sharper for what was effectively his reappearance in the Charlie Hall 2 weeks ago and he's of interest provided he sees out the longer trip. Tommie Beau is a highly admirable sort and is feared ahead of returning pair Mister Coffey and Slipway.

Dual Grade 1 winner CONFLATED is in a different league to today's rivals over regulation fences and could be very hard to beat.

Krugerrand finished a creditable fifth on his debut at Ludlow and would have learnt a great deal from that experience, but newcomer HUNTERS SPRING makes more appeal. The daughter of Nayef is related to plenty of winners and it would be no surprise to see her score on her first start for powerful connections. Any market confidence behind Mahpenny would be interesting.

Lucinda Russell and Conner McCann combined to win this with a debutante last year and they can repeat the trick with HUNTERS SPRING, who is one of the few in the field with a NH pedigree. Krugerrand offered limited encouragement when fifth in a Ludlow bumper last week, but he can provide most resistance to the selection, with One More Bottle rounding off the shortlist.

From a yard which can ready bumper newcomers of any age, HUNTERS SPRING is preferred to Ludlow fifth Krugerrand.

The Willie Mullins-trained gelding, who has the potential to take high rank in the novice hurdle division this season, should have too much class for these opponents. The Diddler, who has reached the frame on both starts over hurdles so far, has to rate the main danger. Given her previous experience of jumping, the six-year-old mare looks the one for second, ahead of Limerick bumper winner The Dancing Tree.

It's very hard to ignore the claims of smart bumper performer SOUNDS VICTORIUS now hurdling for the Willie Mullins team. What threat there is may come from fellow bumper winner and hurdle newcomer The Dancing Tree.

This looks a good opportunity for the classy bumper peformer SOUNDS VICTORIOUS to get off the mark on his hurdling debut.

TOONAGH WARRIOR could be spot on for this with his reappearance behind him and gets the vote in first-time headgear. Alastair Ralph has his team in form so Thankyourluckystar rates a possible threat on his first outing since scoring at Worcester in June. The prolific Barrons Land has changed stables since his latest win but still merits respect.

VALGRAND was mightily impressive when beating the reopposing Gale Mahler by 17 lengths over an extended 2m here last month and it's hard to see how the latter can reverse that form being just 5lb better off at these weights. Dan Skelton's charge could potentially improve again for stretching out in distance and he is fancied to get the better of Potters Charm, who justified favouritism when winning over 2m4f on the same card here three weeks ago. The Twiston-Davies runner certainly wasn't as attractive on the eye, making a number of mistakes on the way round, and the selection could be away and gone if he doesn't jump with more fluency.

VALGRAND and Potters Charm put their unbeaten records in this sphere on the line, with preference for the former, who produced a borderline smart performance when scoring in an excellent time here 3 weeks ago. Gale Mahler was no match for the selection on that occasion but probably didn't give her true running and can at least make more of an impact if returning to her Galway form.

The manner in which VALGRAND dominated here last month left a deep impression. Potters Charm is 3-3 under rules and hard to fault.

A winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month, DELIAS PET followed up at Gowran Park last week and the daughter of Stowaway could be hard to beat. Tommies Call is a definite threat given the manner in which he opened his account last time. Although now 8lb higher, the Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding should not be discounted. Dee's Getaway is another that comes into this race on the back of a victory and the four-year-old has more scope for improvement than most of these.

KILMURRY JJ ran as well as he's ever done over hurdles when third at Fairyhouse recently and is taken to build on that and deny Delias Pet the hat-trick. Klassman was third when Tim Doyle's mare gained the first of her 2 wins and also makes the shortlist along with recent Fairyhouse scorer Tommies Call.

However, Laser Focus bolted up at Huntingdon on Tuesday and cannot be discounted off the same mark, while Martalite edges out Zoran to be the pick of the remainder.

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

Kapparis Kid could go well dropping back in trip after his recent Newcastle fourth, but BEAUZON may have his measure. A C&D winner on Monday and carrying a 5lb penalty, the five-year-old has won at this venue six times off marks up to 69, suggesting he can follow up. Doves Of Peace and Q Twenty Boy are others to consider.

BEAUZON bagged his sixth C&D success recently and looks weighted to go in once more under a penalty. Q Twenty Boy also has an excellent record round here and is feared most ahead of Doves of Peace and Cheese The One.

Everything looks in place for another big run from BEAUZON and he can defy his penalty. Kapparis Kid is feared most.

16:45 Dundalk Stakes 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EAST HAMPTON sets a good standard here off a mark of 90. The David Marnane-trained colt had some nice runs in hot maidens earlier in the campaign before opening his account at the Curragh last month. Connections said after his victory that he had matured a lot after a break and he looks like a nice sprinting prospect. Sounds Like A Plan was a good winner on his debut at Navan back in May, beating a smart horse in Tunbridge Wells. He commands respect but his absence since then would be a slight concern. The 84-rated maiden Cradle Of Love gets a nice chunk of weight, and has placed form here, so has to be considered.

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CRADLE OF LOVE, who is easily the most experienced of these and ran to a fairly useful level when narrowly denied here on her penultimate start. East Hampton confirmed previous promise returning from a break when scoring at the Curragh last month so he can provide most resistance, with another couple of previous winners Sounds Like A Plan and Dark Ace both fancied to be in the mix, too.

Impressive Navan winner SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN could take plenty of beating on his return to action

17:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Alfheim is noted making her first start for George Boughey after arriving from Ireland, but she will need to improve after finishing last at Naas in October. Buttercross Flyer showed improvement when third at Newcastle last time out, but HAVANA FORCE is most interesting. Six placed efforts earlier in her career suggest she has ability, and first-time blinkers may see her score.

Lots with chances and the handily-weighted AUTUMN ROSE could prove the answer on the back of her good C&D sixth last time out. Buttercross Flyer can also have a say in her bid to end a lengthy losing sequence, with George Boughey's new recruit Alfheim another to consider, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Unreal Connection is better than she showed last week but PORT HEDLAND may be the answer now he moves up in distance.

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

MEHMAN ran on well over 7f here last time after having plenty to do turning for home. He will have no issue dropping back to 6f now and Nicola Burns looks very good value for her 10lb claim. Off a mark of 75, he should be capable of gaining a fourth win around here. Dontspoilasale ran well on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, when third to Daamberdiplomat, and off a 2lb lower mark he's entitled to be a big player. Moltophino was a decent second at Naas last time and is another to consider.

JERED MADDOX resumed winning ways at Laytown last time and, still on a fair mark, he is taken to follow up back at a course where he has scored seven times in the past. Having returned to form when third over this C&D a fortnight ago, Dontspoilasale gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Army of India and Mehman.

Plenty with chances but MEHMAN looks a strong candidate, having been left with plenty to do when upped in trip last time

An interesting race where the comfortable Kempton winner American Gal will attempt to give 7lb or more to all of her rivals, which may be a big ask barring plenty of improvement. Tempted showed better form when fourth at Southwell last month and could be interesting, but so is TRUSTED ADVISOR. The daughter of Ulysses showed signs of inexperience on her C&D debut before keeping on into fifth, and she could be the one they all have to beat if improving for that experience.

AMERICAN GAL was quite a taking winner on her 1m Kempton debut 16 days ago and can defy a penalty with improvement likely. The chief threat may come from Trusted Advisor and Tempted unless the betting speaks in the favour of Andrew Balding newcomer Solar Pass.

Preference is for AMERICAN GAL, who justified support in good style on her Kempton debut last month and looks a useful prospect.

MIDNIGHT STAGGER may be able to follow up on his victory here early last month. The Galileo Gold gelding was a bit green when hitting the front then, lugging to his left in the closing stages, and was probably value for a bit more than his winning margin of half a length. He is just 3lb higher now and cheekpieces are fitted. Great Mover has been placed on her last two outings and looks like the obvious danger on her all-weather debut. Ja'marr ran well for a long way in a decent Curragh maiden last time and could be a player now off a mark of 68 on his handicap debut.

This looks wide open and it could pay to side with ADRIENNE, who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and the application of a first-time visor could well put an extra edge on her. Ja'marr is another entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and is a threat. Recent course winner Midnight Stagger and Great Mover can also figure.

Recent winner Midnight Stagger and the consistent maiden Great Mover demand respect but a chance is taken on ADRIENNE

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

Eazy On The Eye has to be respected having got off the mark over C&D three weeks ago, but a 7lb penalty could make her vulnerable. With that in mind, preference is for PRINCESS QAJAR, who was making her debut when filling fourth place that day and could improve past Eazy On The Eye on these terms. Spirit Of Jura and Thamna are others to consider.

The fact LUISA went off at only 6/1 for her Leicester debut last month suggests better was expected so it wouldn't be a surprise to see her leave that form well behind now. Recent C&D 1-4 Eazy On The Eye and Princess Qajar are unlikely to be far away.

It might be worth sticking with bEAZY ON THE EYE\p, who found plenty of progress with her front-running win over C&D three weeks ago.

POMPANO BEACH looks of interest here off a lowly enough mark of 66 on her second handicap appearance. The Ten Sovereigns filly didn't appear to act around Sligo when last seen in August and a more galloping track should suit. She had run well at Down Royal previously when fourth in a decent enough maiden won by Wizard Of Odds, and looks nicely treated on that form. Senior Montecristo ran a big race when third here over 7f last month and, having been eased 1lb, he has to have a big shout. Your Call ran poorly on heavy ground at Galway last time but has a chance on previous form, and the quicker surface here may suit.

SUNRISEONTHEBOYNE shaped better than the bare result when sixth in a big-field nursery at Galway (7f) 18 days ago and, back at 1m/re-united with the same pilot as when successful at Killarney back in August, he could be worth siding with to build on the promise of that effort. Senior Montecristo, following his good third over 7f here 6 weeks ago, Kitty Bear and Your Call are others to consider.

If staying the extra furlong recent course third SENIOR MONTECRISTO could prove the one to beat

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

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

Cases can be made for most of these, but none more so than STRONG JOHNSON. The veteran returned to winning ways over 5f at Newcastle last week and a 4lb penalty may underestimate him here. Southbank hit the crossbar at Chelmsford last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Four Adaay and Miss Anya are others who could go very well.

SECRET MISTRAL wasn't ideally positioned last time and, back on AW, he's worth chancing from a feasible mark in an open-looking contest. Strong Johnson is a player after making all at Newcastle 8 days ago and Street Life is capable of getting involved.

Four Adaay can go well but SOUTHBANK has got himself well handicapped and this should be run to suit.

The Pat Flynn-trained TUDOR MANOR might be able to defy top-weight. Somewhat unlucky in running before staying on well to finish fifth at Navan recently, the eight-year-old is well handicapped if adapting to the surface. Although failing to reach the frame on his only two previous starts here, the gelding did shape with promise. In a winnable race, he arrives here in better form than most of his rivals. Sky Legend, whose only previous career win came in a claimer at this venue, has to enter calculations. Although well beaten here last time, that run came over a mile. Scott Lang, who showed a bit more when fourth at Navan last time, shouldn't be discounted.

SCOTT LANG rates just the pick of these weights so is taken to end a lengthy losing run at the chief expense of the in-form Tudor Manor. Inchiquin Maid and Fine Print also need considering in this tight-knit handicap.

TUDOR MANOR won over this trip on turf this year and has run well in defeat at this track so is selected.

STRAIGHT A has won twice over 7f in recent weeks and the step back up in trip should not be a problem for the three-year-old. As a result, the progressive gelding just edges out More Than A Feelin to be the pick. The latter scored at Kempton a month ago and may have more to offer. Ciotog is another with strong form claims if he can transfer his most recent turf performances to the all-weather.

MORE THAN A FEELIN boasts a progressive profile on artificial surfaces and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod. Straight A and Ciotog both arrive in fine heart and look the likeliest dangers.

A competitive race where preference is just for STRAIGHT A, up just 2lb for winning and now going back up in trip.

TRIBAL STAR, who only weakened late on when fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh on his Irish debut, should appreciate dropping back to this trip. Runner-up twice over the distance when trained in Britain, the son of Sea The Stars looked set to play a leading role before stamina came into play last time. With the benefit of that run under his belt, he can strike here for Ado McGuinness. Realism is probably no longer as good as a mark of 92 suggests but the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can win races. Third on his reappearance at Killarney last month, the five-year-old was fourth at Cork over hurdles last time. Dahab is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and REALISM is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough victory for the in-form Joseph O'Brien team. Genoah also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of debutants Jessie's Dreamgirl and La Punt.

If running to his rating Realism should win but that isn't certain, so TRIBAL STAR is a viable alternative with improvement likely.

CERULEAN SUMMER beat Port Noir by two lengths in this grade over track and trip earlier in the month and Morgan Cole's 5lb claim largely negates her 6lb penalty. Dylan Cunha's three-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that performance in order to go in again. Curtiz outran his odds to finish second at Chelmsford last month and should go well off a 2lb higher mark, while Balqaa is another to note.

BALQAA's good run of form came to a halt on her latest start at Newcastle but that was her fourth run inside the space of 30 days and, following a subsequent break of almost two months, the 6-y-o is taken to get back on track with a fifth career success. Port Noir has a strong chance of reversing recent C&D placings with Cerulean Summer on these revised terms and she is feared most. Curtiz is also shortlisted.

The way she won here last time suggests that CERULEAN SUMMER (nap) remains on the up and she is taken to record another C&D success.

PERSIAN BLISS, a winner on his racecourse debut over course and distance last month, has the potential to improve further. A son of Advertise, the colt was reluctant to load but did nothing wrong once the stalls opened. In beating a solid yardstick for the grade, the Adrian Murray-trained three-year-old hinted at better to come. UK raider Debora's Dream has to be respected for Jennie Candlish. The booking of champion jockey Colin Keane on the three-time winner certainly suggests that connections mean business. A multiple winner at this track, San Andreas has yet to convince over this extended trip but it would be a mistake for the others to give the veteran too much leeway out in front.

PERSIAN BLISS belied market weakness when making a winning start to his career in a C&D maiden three weeks ago and, with the promise of better to come from this colt, he is taken to maintain his 100% record. The consistent Debora's Dream is feared most ahead of Acotango and Not Just Any Eagle.

Though he had a tough enough race when winning on debut over C&D, PERSIAN BLISS showed a likeable attitude and can win again.

Competing off 3lb below his last winning mark and with his stamina more proven than some, WESTERN STARS is a key player. The Jim Boyle-trained gelding merits respect at this level and, with the in-form Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, there are solid foundation for another big run. Trojan Truth is weighted to go close, although Green Team is undoubtedly well handicapped based on past exploits and also needs serious consideration.

Preference is for WESTERN STARS, who is in better heart than his recent form figures suggest and will appreciate the return to this longer trip. Trojan Truth rates the principal danger.

Western Stars is respected with Rossa Ryan booked but GREEN TEAM could enjoy a soft lead and he may be able to end his losing run.

Denied by the narrowest of margins on his last visit here, KONIAG can gain some compensation. A winner on turf at Leopardstown earlier in the year, the Kieran Cotter-trained gelding has twice finished runner-up on the Polytrack. Despite being raised 2lb for his recent defeat, the three-year-old looks nicely handicapped. Colin Keane, who rode a four-timer here last week, is a significant booking. Dancing Steve, another who has strong recent placed form at this track, looks a live threat. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has the aid of Adam Caffrey's valuable claim. Poyraz Approach, a winner on her final start in Germany, is an intriguing contender on her stable debut for Matthew Smith.

KONIAG and Dancing Steve have both been knocking firmly on the door in recent months and may be the pair to fight this out, the former shading the vote under Colin Keane. Ex-German filly Poyraz Approach would also look interesting if the market spoke in her favour now handicapping for her new stable.

CASTLEHEATH showed a bit of spark over 1m here last time and the step-up in trip with blinkers could see him win again.

RUNAROUND SIOUX won a similar race at Chelmsford in February and, having missed most of the turf season, appeals off just 2lb higher. Her ability to truly handle Tapeta is still the only slight query in an otherwise solid case for support. Unico has held her form well and has a good chance of at least running into a place. All-weather debutant Rapido Girl is bred to be effective on synthetics and also needs a betting check.

The vote goes to UNICO, who has found her feet for this yard in recent months and her latest second at Chelmsford arguably represented a career-best. White Mist's record on the all-weather is strong and she will be a big threat if fully tuned-up following a break, while Little Miss Magic is best of the rest.

Jax Edge is better than she showed last time but UNICO looks primed to strike and can gain a first win for this yard.

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.
