14:13 – Download The At The Races App Fillies’ Restricted Novice Stakes (Horses In Bands B, C And D) (GBB)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary restricted novice on paper, but there are a couple with enough early promise to give it some shape. Sequel Star and Bated Benevolence set the standard on ratings after just one win apiece, while Roosike also brings solid placed form and looks the obvious one to keep them honest. The unraced pair Expensive Luxury and Veruca Salt add a bit of intrigue, especially in a race where not much depth sits behind the principals. Wolverhampton’s 6f can reward professionalism as much as raw ability, so a clean break and the ability to hold a position should matter. It is not a deep contest, but it is not a complete penalty kick either, with the market leaders having shown enough to command respect.
Top Selections
1. Sequel Star – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: George Downing | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 4 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed:
Sequel Star is the one I want on side. A debut fourth does not always scream banker material, but in a race like this that initial mark of 76 puts her right at the top of the pile and suggests there was plenty to like in the bare performance. Ed Walker’s juveniles usually come on for a run, and this filly does not need to find a great deal to take control against rivals who either look exposed already or still have to prove themselves. At 6/4 she is no giveaway, but she makes the most appeal as the likeliest improver and the one with the strongest claims if stepping forward as expected. Bet: WIN
2. Roosike – 7/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 3 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed:
Roosike looks the sensible each-way play. Richard Hughes has his youngsters well drilled and this filly did enough when third on debut to think she can be competitive again, especially with a rating of 75 putting her right in the same bracket as the two at the head of the market. The draw in 8 is not ideal around here, but if she breaks on terms and gets across without wasting energy, she has the profile of one who should run her race. Available at 7/2, she is short enough to suggest the stable expects another solid effort, yet still fair enough for an each-way punt in an eight-runner field. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sequel Star is the main win play and looks the safest option if building around likely improvement from debut. Roosike is the each-way alternative, with her rating and opening third giving her a solid platform in a race lacking depth. Bated Benevolence is the obvious danger after already getting her head in front, but the price is not quite as tempting as the two selected.

14:43 – Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper Wolverhampton sprint handicap: plenty in with chances, a healthy mix of exposed older handicappers and unexposed 3yos, and no shortage of pace on paper. Veil Of Clouds is the obvious one to focus on after three solid runs and a handy low draw, while Obsidian Verse also makes plenty of appeal as another 3yo still learning his job. Veydari arrives off a good second but has to overcome stall 13, which is no gift over this sharp 6f, and the likes of Monsieur Kodi and Hierarchy are reliable enough without looking especially well treated. It’s not a deep Class 5 by any means, but it is a tricky betting heat where draw, track position and a bit of upside could prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Veil Of Clouds – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Robert Havlin | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 525 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 67
Veil Of Clouds looks the most solid option in the race and, unlike a few of these, he still has the profile of a progressive sprinter rather than a fully exposed handicapper. His 525 form figures suggest he has been thereabouts each time, and an opening mark of 79 does not look harsh for a Crisford-trained 3yo stepping into this grade. Stall 1 is another obvious plus around here if he breaks on terms, and Robert Havlin is the sort to make good use of that position. He is short enough, but available at 3/1 he is still hard to oppose in a race lacking standout strength. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Far Too Fizzy – 11/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Laura Pearson | Trainer: David Loughnane | Form: -31735 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 77
Far Too Fizzy makes plenty of each-way appeal at a double-figure price. The standout number in the field is that Topspeed figure of 77, and his recent form is better than it might look at first glance, with a win followed by two respectable efforts in stronger-looking sprints. He gets in here with just 124, which is attractive in a race where some of the older horses are lugging much bigger weights, and stall 6 gives Laura Pearson options rather than forcing the issue. He does need to show he can put it all together at this venue, but 11/1 looks a fair bit bigger than his profile suggests. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Veil Of Clouds is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet, with the draw and unexposed profile both firmly in his favour. For an each-way punt, Far Too Fizzy looks overpriced and has enough speed figures to get involved if things fall right. The main danger is Obsidian Verse, while Veydari is respected despite a wide stall.

15:18 – Free Tips On attheraces.com Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fair maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to the trio with the clearest bits of form. Korbut sets the standard on official figures after a string of solid efforts, while One Of The Boys brings the strongest recent placing form and still looks open to improvement at seven furlongs. Poets Praise is the more interesting returner after just two runs last year and could easily take a step forward for Ralph Beckett. Behind those, Carnival Of Light has shown enough to suggest minor money is within reach, but several of the bigger prices already look up against it. In a race where proven form should count for plenty, the principals may dominate.
Top Selections
1. One Of The Boys – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Michael Bell | Form: 2-3 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 64
Michael Bell’s colt sets a solid standard on what he has actually achieved on the track. He shaped with promise when runner-up on debut and backed that up with a respectable third on his return, so there is no guesswork needed about whether he handles racing conditions. A mark of 78 and the best Topspeed figure in the field tell you he has already run to a useful level for this grade. Finley Marsh knows how to deliver one late off a sensible pace, and at 9/4 he looks the percentage call against rivals who still have more to prove than the market perhaps suggests. WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Carnival Of Light – 18/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Oliver Stammers | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 44 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed:
At much bigger odds, Carnival Of Light makes more each-way appeal than a few shorter in the market. He has finished fourth on both starts, which is hardly flashy, but it does at least show a baseline level of ability and some consistency. Drawn in stall 2, he should be able to get a handy position around Wolverhampton, and Charlie Johnston’s runners are often at their best when allowed to roll forward and keep galloping. He needs to find improvement to trouble the main fancies, but 18/1 is a workable price in an 11-runner maiden where plenty of the opposition are either exposed or completely unproven. EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: One Of The Boys is the win play because he brings the strongest blend of form, rating and speed figure. For an each-way punt, Carnival Of Light looks overpriced given he has at least shown reliable maiden form. Korbut is the obvious danger from stall 1, while Poets Praise is the one who could improve sharply if fully tuned up after the layoff.

15:53 – attheraces.com/marketmovers Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper Wolverhampton handicap rather than a race full of obvious answers. A few arrive in decent nick, notably the ultra-reliable Moostar and Pickersgill, while So Sassy has been keeping better company than some of these and looks dangerously well treated if things drop right. The 3yo fillies get plenty of attention too, with Show Me Gold coming here off a win and Molly Mac looking attractively weighted at the foot of the handicap. Searchingtheblues has the best Topspeed figure in the field and is another with a squeak if building on her latest third. In truth, there isn’t much between several of them on bare form, so draw, pace and who gets the smoothest passage round here could easily prove decisive. Tricky, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. So Sassy – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Kaiya Fraser | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: -27455 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 66
She hasn’t quite got her head in front this year, but this looks a good spot for So Sassy to put that right. Her mark of 76 is fair enough on what she has been showing, and the key point for me is that she has been running respectably without things falling perfectly. A Topspeed of 66 stacks up well in this field, and Fanshawe’s runners in these all-weather handicaps are rarely here for a day out. From stall 6 she should have options, and in a race where plenty have claims but few are bombproof, she makes most appeal. At 5/1, she looks the solid win play. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Molly Mac – 12/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Grace McEntee | Trainer: Micky Fenton | Form: 33-242 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 69
Molly Mac is the one who jumps out as the value each-way angle. She is lightly raced compared to some of these, her recent form figures suggest she is holding it together well, and that Topspeed mark of 69 is one of the better numbers on offer here. Just as importantly, she gets in with only 119, which makes her very interesting against older fillies carrying plenty more. Stall 5 is perfectly workable and if Grace McEntee can get her travelling in the first half of the race, she has the profile of one who can be bang there late. At 12/1, she makes plenty of appeal as an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
So Sassy is the win bet in a race where consistency alone may not be enough, because she still looks capable of a bit more than her recent form line suggests. Molly Mac is the each-way play at a double-figure price, with her low weight and solid speed figure making her very dangerous. Moostar and Pickersgill are obvious dangers, while Searchingtheblues is another not to dismiss lightly.

16:28 – Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This may only be a four-runner handicap, but it is not lacking depth for the grade. Go Rimbaud is the obvious starting point for the Gosdens after winning on his return before finding one too good next time, while Chapter arrives on the back of a success and still looks a progressive sort at a mile. On The Inlet has already shown he can put races together this season and is no back number, while Brocklesby Bill is the least exposed of the lot after a solid runner-up effort last time. Tactically, a small-field Wolverhampton mile can become messy if they dawdle, so track position and timing will matter. Even so, this looks a race where class and upside should tell, and it is Chapter who appeals most at the prices.
Top Selections
1. Chapter – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Charles Hills | Form: 713-61 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed:
Chapter makes plenty of appeal in a race where the market may lean too heavily towards Go Rimbaud. He comes here off the back of a win, has the highest rating in the field, and there is a fair chance that this mile on Tapeta will suit a horse who still looks to be learning his trade. The draw in stall 1 is no bad thing in a four-runner contest where getting first run could be crucial, and Charles Hills’ 3-year-olds are often well placed in these midsummer handicaps. At 7/2 with Bet365, he looks the value against a short-priced favourite who doesn’t have masses in hand. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is a straight win-only race and Chapter is the play at 7/2. He looks overpriced for a colt with recent winning form and a rating edge over most of these. Go Rimbaud is the obvious danger and hard to dismiss entirely, while On The Inlet has enough ability to get involved if the race gets tactical.

Race Details: 1m 5f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a competitive little staying handicap rather than a deep one, and a few arrive with fairly solid claims. St Mawes sets the standard on recent form after finishing placed on both starts this season and looks sure to be popular, while Arcturus Flame has been knocking on the door in similar company and is weighted to be a major player. Mersea Island is interesting back from a break for Charlie Johnston, especially if ready to roll, and Heathen shaped well enough on his reappearance to suggest there is a race in him. Dance Time and Gentle Warrior are not hopeless at the weights either, so it is not a race to take lightly, but it does look the sort where a progressive 4yo can still have the final say.
Top Selections
1. Arcturus Flame – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: -35325 | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 89
Arcturus Flame makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few have chances but not many are obviously ahead of the assessor. His recent form figures show a horse running well without quite getting his head in front, and that can be frustrating, but it also means he comes here match-fit and reliable. The Topspeed figure of 89 stands out well enough in this field, and he gets in with just 125. From stall 2, Finley Marsh should be able to secure a sensible position before asking him to build through the straight. Available at 9/2, he looks the percentage call against some shorter and less compelling rivals. Bet: WIN
2. Heathen – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Jennie Candlish | Form: 4244-3 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed:
Heathen is the each-way angle at a fair enough price after a perfectly respectable return when third on his first outing following a break. That run suggested he should strip fitter here, and his profile is that of a hardy stayer who tends to hold his form once up and running. Marco Ghiani is a good booking for this sort of race and, from stall 3, he should not have to work too hard for a handy slot. He does have to concede weight all round, but 6/1 still looks workable in an eight-runner race with three places on offer, especially if this turns into more of a test of resolution than class. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Arcturus Flame is the win play, as he brings the right mix of current form, a workable mark and a solid speed figure for this level. Heathen is the each-way punt at 6/1, with his reappearance third hinting that he is ready to step forward. St Mawes is the obvious danger if continuing his progression, while Mersea Island is respected returning from a break.

Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a decent little 3yo handicap rather than a giveaway, with several arriving in form and a few others still open to improvement at seven furlongs on Tapeta. Bone Marra is the obvious starting point after getting back on track last time and he has the profile of one who can keep progressing, but he is hardly being missed in the market. Applesandpears has been contesting useful races and could easily bounce back, while Deluded has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front. Do Bronxs is battle-hardened and not out of it either. It is a race where the favourite makes plenty of appeal, but there is enough depth underneath him to make the place market and each-way angle worth a proper look.
Top Selections
1. Bone Marra – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Stevie Donohoe | Trainer: Ollie Sangster | Form: 31-201 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 69
Bone Marra looks the solid one. His form figures suggest a colt still learning his trade, and that latest win confirmed he remains on the upgrade after a slightly mixed spell earlier in the season. Drawn in stall 2, he should be able to hold a handy position around here, which is rarely a bad place to be over this trip at Wolverhampton. An official mark of 94 asks a question, but not an impossible one for a 3yo who may not be done improving yet. At 11/8 he is no secret, but there are enough positives stacked in his favour to say he is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Deluded – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paddy Bradley | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 19-233 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 76
Deluded appeals as the value play if you want something against the favourite. He has not been doing much wrong, finishing placed on his last three starts, and that sequence reads like the work of a horse who is holding his form well in this grade. His Topspeed figure of 76 is perfectly respectable in the context of this race, and although stall 8 is not ideal, he has the kind of run style to get involved late if things fall right. Charlie Fellowes’ runner is available at 9/1, which feels a fair each-way price for one with such dependable recent form and enough class to get competitive again. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Bone Marra is the win bet and makes the most sense if you want the likely improver with the least questions to answer. For an each-way punt, Deluded looks the better angle than some of the shorter alternatives given his consistency and workable price. Applesandpears is the obvious danger if returning to his best, while Do Bronxs also has enough form to threaten.
