Race 1: 16:55 Wolverhampton Get Raceday Ready Nursery Handicap (0-70) (5) 2yo GB 1m 1f 104y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
1st (3) Gretna Dreams	2	Ray Dawson	Simon Pearce	Clear promise in her first two starts; never featured at Kempton last month but this trip is likely to suit now handicapping and she's open to improvement.
5th (4) Lockwood	2	Silvestre De Sousa	James Owen	Hint of ability in three runs in novice/maiden company at up to 7f; looks a likely improver now handicapping at a realistic level; Silvestre De Sousa booked and one to note for market confidence.
1st (5) Keep Singing	2	Kieran O'Neill	J S Moore	Best effort so far when third of seven in 1m nursery at Chepstow last week; still has time to do better and although she's not bred to need this far, she was plugging on last time; still looks vulnerable from out of the weights.
4th (1) Greek Gift	2	Clifford Lee	K R Burke	Winner of two of her five nursery runs; ran right up to her best when second of eight at Carlisle 11 days ago (7f, soft); step up in trip should suit on pedigree and she's one to take seriously on AW debut.
3rd (2) Claim To Glory	2	Harry Davies	Hugo Palmer	Didn't show much in three qualifying runs but, having been gelded, he improved to make a successful nursery debut here (8.6f) 24 days ago; up 5lb but the longer trip can help and he's not fully exposed just yet.

Lockwood and Gretna Dreams both bring potential now upped in distance for their nursery debut. Greek Gift has already shown herself to be a tough filly and she's bred for this new trip, but she may have to give best to CLAIM TO GLORY. Hugo Palmer's juvenile showed a good attitude when winning here last month and can defy his 5lb rise.[Paul Smith]

Race 2: 17:30 Wolverhampton Get Raceday Ready EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race) GB 6f 20y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
5th (5) Natsumi	2	Gina Mangan	Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole	Modest form in two 6f runs on turf; quite short in the market for both of those efforts though and presumably felt capable of better.
3rd (3) Galaxy Zoo	2	P J McDonald	Tom Ward	Half-sister to winners Blizzard (7f including Listed; RPR 99), Ice Station Zebra (5f/6f; 90) and Daiquiri Francais (6f 2yo; 77); dam 6f/7f winner (93); stable 1-28 with 2yos this year; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour.
1st (4) Jewel Of London	2	Callum Shepherd	William Knight	Failed to progress for Richard Hannon and was again well short of her best on last month's stable debut at Newbury (6f, good); chance if back to her best but vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.
2nd (2) Target Man	2	David Egan	George Boughey	325,000gns yearling who was sent off the 8-11 favourite for his debut in April (5f, AW), showing speed but picked off close home by a rival who had the benefit of experience and has since been Listed-placed; tongue-tie added now back from a break; more to come.
4th (1) Reposado	2	Silvestre De Sousa	Raphael E Freire	Highly tried on occasions; disappointed back in calmer waters at Doncaster in July when conditions shouldn't have been an issue; big chance if back to his Ascot form from May but that's a sizeable 'if'.

Jewel Of London and Reposado bring the best form but neither are progressing and both were below par with their sights lowered when last seen. TARGET MAN has been absent since April so isn't without risk himself, but he does at least bring the prospect of improvement.[Paul Smith]

Race 3: 18:00 Wolverhampton At The Races App Form Study Claiming Stakes GB 6f 20y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
(5) Impeach	6	Harry Burns	Michael Attwater	Not firing on all cylinders this summer, even allowing for his near miss at Salisbury in July; not favoured by the weights and others look safer.
5th (6) Mr Squires	4	Luke Morris	Roger Fell & Sean Murray	Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out.
6th (7) Alexander James	8	Connor Planas	Michael Herrington	Infrequent winner nowadays and he's usually seen over further; recent efforts need bettering and others have more pressing claims.
4th (4) American Star	5	James Sullivan	Ruth Carr	Arrived on the scene late when winning a 7f handicap at Chester in July; not matched that since and others might prove better suited by today's conditions.
2nd (1) Bowman	6	Daniel Muscutt	Danny Brooke	A wind op in April has done the trick, winning at Catterick (7f, good) and placed in four of his five runs since; not favoured by weights and usually seen over 7f but looks more likely to give his running than some.
1st (3) B Associates	4	Silvestre De Sousa	James Owen	Multiple winner, including on his stable debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; not quite so good over 7f at Chelmsford six days later but it was still his best effort on AW; considered.
3rd (2) Starshiba	7	Frederick Larson	Michael Appleby	Recorded an RPR of 89 when winning a C&D handicap in December; two turf runs back from a break have both been respectable in the context of this race; one for the shortlist.

An easy lead isn't out of the question for Mr Squires and he's respected despite his unappealing recent form figures. B Associates and Starshiba (second choice) have the ability feature but BOWMAN is preferred. Although he isn't favoured by these terms, he's reliable and in form and looks more likely to give his running than most of these.[Paul Smith]

Race 4: 18:30 Wolverhampton Download The Racecourse App Raceday Ready Handicap (0-78) (4) 3yo+ GB 1m 142y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
10th (6) It's A Love Thing	6	Liam Keniry	Sam England	Five-time AW winner who was twice second at Newcastle (1m4f/1m) before struggling with a wide draw at Lingfield; had wind surgery; hard to rule out.
5th (10) Tasmanian Legend	3	Kieran O'Neill	Alice Haynes	Won three times on Tapeta earlier in the year (twice here) and should appreciate returning to this surface after failing to offer much on turf; nothing wrong with his mark.
3rd (9) Cloudy Skye	3	Connor Murtagh	Richard Fahey	Off the mark at the eighth attempt when making all for a cosy success at Pontefract (1m, good to firm); did have the run of things and a 6lb rise spells danger.
6th (4) Dawn Of Liberation	5	Luke Morris	Ruth Carr	Continues to fall in the weights but still struggling to have a major say in his races; others preferred.
1st (5) Lady Of Arabia	4	Clifford Lee	Eve Johnson Houghton	Has won four of her 17 races which isn't a bad strike-rate and the latest was off this mark; not at her very best of late but cheekpieces could bring something.
8th (1) King Of Scotia	4	William Carver	Jamie Osborne	High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away.
9th (7) Giorgio M	3	Pat Cosgrave	George Boughey	Course winner over 7f in July and ran right up to his best when fourth in a Class 4 at Epsom two weeks ago; unraced over this far but it's worth a go.
7th (8) Photon	4	Joe Leavy	Roger Teal	Runner-up three times on AW in early part of this year (1m-9.4f) and was again close up at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) two runs back; it could be that the ground was too fast when tried in cheekpieces at Salisbury; considered.
4th (2) Ayr Harbour	7	Alistair Rawlinson	Michael Appleby	All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with his recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell, the latest a 7f Racing League Handicap; stays this far and can again make presence felt.
2nd (3) Eagle Day	4	Dylan Hogan	David Evans	Useful 7f/1m handicapper who has won four times; after a couple of wobbles he ran okay at Ripon last time (1m); no great margin for error off this mark but has each-way claims.

This looks very open but PHOTON could be interesting as he was running well until probably finding the ground too fast at Salisbury. It's A Love Thing (second choice) is another who had excuses last time having been in form previously, while Giorgio M will go close if seeing out the trip.[Alistair Jones]

Race 5: 19:00 Wolverhampton Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap (0-70) (5) 4yo+ GB 7f 36y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
3rd (7) Nights Over Egypt	4	P J McDonald	Jennie Candlish	6f win on heavy ground in April; now 5lb lower but that is a result of several lesser efforts since, including on stable debut last month; enough to prove.
7th (3) Northcliff	4	Harry Davies	Mike Murphy & Michael Keady	Three wins, including C&D, in the first half of the year; the handicapper has had his measure since he beat 25 rivals at Ascot in May and although he's now just 2lb higher, he's in against some in-form opponents.
4th (5) Capuchinero	5	Kieran O'Neill	Alice Haynes	Won a small-field fillies' handicap at Brighton in July; similar form when second over C&D three weeks ago; takes on in-form males this time and could come up short.
5th (1) Roaring Ralph	4	Connor Beasley	Michael Dods	C&D winner last season; comes here in top form, winning at Ayr (1m) in July and at Southwell (7f) last week; penalty to contend with but likely to make another bold bid.
2nd (4) Surprise Picture	6	Harrison Shaw	Grant Tuer	Was gaining the eighth win of his career when running away from five rivals in a Class 6 handicap over C&D last Thursday; chance under a penalty but the other recent winners in the field may hold stronger claims.
6th (6) Ultramarine	5	Dylan Hogan	David Evans	Better record on AW than turf; good second at Chepstow last week and no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.
1st (2) Chalk Mountain	4	Rob Hornby	Stuart Kittow	Two-time C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a smooth display at Southwell (7f) last week and that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure; looks well in under a penalty; big chance.

Ultramarine should make another bold bid back on AW, but this looks a lively race for the grade with three of the seven runners having scored last week. Surprise Picture is in deeper today and this may rest between Roaring Ralph and CHALK MOUNTAIN (nap). Clear preference is for Stuart Kittow's representative who was comfortably on top at Southwell six days ago.[Paul Smith]

Race 6: 19:30 Wolverhampton Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Handicap (0-58) (6) 3yo GB 7f 36y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
3rd (2) Kinematica	3	Luke Morris	Sir Mark Prescott Bt	Promising run over C&D on debut in April; beaten 15l or more in five runs since, including all three handicaps (1m-1m3f); down in the weights and now tried in blinkers but there are risks involved.
10th (1) Mademoisellecancan	3	Pierre-Louis Jamin	Tom Dascombe	Peak RPR came at this track (6f) in May; absent since a poor run at Newmarket in June; down in class and up in distance; others look more persuasive.
5th (7) Liege	3	William Carver	Simon Hodgson	Nine-race maiden; ran okay for third over C&D in July but he was the thick end of 5l behind Grecian God here three weeks ago; others stronger for win purposes.
7th (6) Takes Time	3	Silvestre De Sousa	David Loughnane	Has done all her racing over further and hasn't progressed from some early promise; dropping down the weights and Silvestre De Sousa booked so not dismissed.
4th (8) True Blue Gent	3	David Egan	Marco Botti	Finished in midfield behind Grecian God here three weeks ago; better drawn than that rival today but others still appeal more for win purposes.
2nd (9) Diligent Henry	3	Lewis Edmunds	Jessica Macey	0-8 but he ran his best race so far when second to Grecian God here three weeks ago (blinkered first time); in the mix with a repeat.
1st (10) Blacklion	3	Pat Cosgrave	George Baker	7f win at Kempton for Jamie Osborne; not matched that form for this yard and others are more appealing in this field.
8th (5) Amroon	3	P J McDonald	Marco Botti	C&D win in July; couldn't muster sufficient pace in a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago (tried in cheekpieces which are now left off); not discounted back up in distance.
9th (3) Grecian God	3	George Bass	Mark Usher	Off the mark at the seventh attempt when too strong for eight rivals over C&D three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than the widest stall.
6th (4) Help Me Rhonda	3	Daniel Muscutt	James Fanshawe	Showed some promise in six runs in Ireland (6.5f-1m1f); changed hands for 11,500gns in July; hood added for today's stable debut and she's of interest in a modest event.

Grecian God and Diligent Henry fought out the finish of a modest C&D handicap three weeks ago, but they've bagged the two outside stalls today and could prove vulnerable. Amroon (second choice) can go well back at 7f but HELP ME RHONDA is a fascinating contender on her debut for James Fanshawe. This is much weaker than the handicaps she has been contesting in Ireland and she can take full advantage.[Paul Smith]

Race 7: 20:00 Wolverhampton Download The Raceday Ready App Confined Handicap (Horses Which Have Not Won More Than One Flat Race) (0-60) (6) 3yo GB 1m 1f 104y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
5th (7) Red Hatter	3	Andrew Breslin	John Norton	Poor form in his six starts; returns from 130 days off with plenty to prove.
(6) Homme De Fer	3	Jack Doughty	Tony Carroll	No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Windsor four weeks ago (1m); bred to do better at some point but not easily recommended for now.
2nd (4) Bay Of Australia	3	P J McDonald	Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	Placed over C&D last season; two runs for new yard have come over 7f and he looks ready for the return to a longer trip; no surprise to see better today.
4th (3) Miss Dandylion	3	William Carver	Jamie Osborne	Hasn't run badly in handicaps the last twice and is edging down the weights; shaped well in one course run in July; still relatively low mileage.
(2) Hope Rising	3	William Cox	Charles Hills	No significant progress for the switch to handicaps this summer; dropping down the weights and blinkers are now given a go; could still have a bigger run in her.
1st (5) Jez Bomb	3	Cam Hardie	Sam England	In good form in handicaps this summer, a 1m1f win at Redcar sandwiched by several solid efforts; something to prove on AW but looks to have more to recommend him than most.
3rd (1) Roman Secret	3	Connor Murtagh	Richard Fahey	Course winner last November off a 7lb higher mark; not found her best form this year but wasn't beaten far at Doncaster last time and this is weaker; strong contender.

The drop in class and return to AW should see an improved showing from Roman Secret, while Bay Of Australia can benefit from the step back up in trip. JEZ BOMB has been reliable in handicaps this summer though and he can gain his second win.[Paul Smith]

Race 8: 20:30 Wolverhampton Stay At The Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Handicap (0-55) (6) 3yo+ GB 5f 21y

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
8th (9) L'Sarafina	4	Raul Da Silva	Derek Shaw	Beaten 22l or more in her four runs; absent for 416 days and can't be recommended.
6th (8) Pink Stripes	4	Cam Hardie	Lisa Williamson	Exposed 28-race maiden; placed over C&D in July and had an excuse here last time; others still much more appealing for win purposes.
9th (10) Belvoir Kitten	3	Lewis Edmunds	Derek Shaw	Unplaced in all 12 starts but he wasn't beaten far into fourth over C&D when last seen in April; others more persuasive for win purposes.
(3) Milliethemollie	3	Jack Doughty	Tony Carroll	6f win at Dundalk in December; none too consistent for this yard but she's finished second in two of her last four starts; drawn widest and others appeal more.
5th (7) Next Second	5	Joanna Mason	Ruth Carr	All four of her wins have come over C&D, the latest in July off 1lb lower; never-dangerous third in a classified event over C&D last month but failed to build on it at Chelmsford nine days later; return to this track will suit and she's not ruled out.
7th (4) Ustath	8	Luke Morris	Roger Fell & Sean Murray	C&D win in June and added a 6f classified event here one month later (impressive); 7f too far when last seen; other pace to contend with today but he's capable of a prominent showing.
4th (5) Q Twenty Boy	9	Alicia Perkins	Mark Usher	Three wins this year, two over 6f here and one at Chelmsford (5f); fair run on turf three weeks ago; should make another bold bid.
1st (2) Maris Angel	3	Jack Garritty	Mark Walford	Has shown pace, and some promise, in three AW novice/maiden events; makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and she's one to note for market confidence.
3rd (1) Musical Diva	3	Ben Robinson	David O'Meara	Two wins in January, one of them over C&D; not at her best at Southwell ten days ago but she had been threatening before that; type to bounce back quickly.
2nd (6) Suanni	5	Jason Watson	Darryll Holland	Front-runner who saw off nine rivals in a classified event over C&D in July; well beaten at Brighton last month but he should be seen to better effect back on AW.

This looks set to be well run and NEXT SECOND, who reserves her best for this C&D, may be able to register a fifth win at the track. Musical Diva is better than she showed last time and can go well, while handicap debutante Maris Angel and Suanni are others to consider.[Paul Smith]
