17:30 – Download The Raceday Ready App Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a pretty typical Wolverhampton amateur riders’ handicap: plenty with chances, not many you could trust blindly, and the mile on Tapeta likely to reward a horse arriving in form and holding a decent position from the gates. No Knee Never heads the market after a recent win and is easy enough to see, while Alazwar has been threatening to strike and gets a major booking in this sphere with Brodie Hampson. Volendam comes here on the back of a win and is clearly thriving, and Book Of Life has been knocking on the door in races of this nature. It is not a strong race in quality terms, but it is a tricky little puzzle because several of these are well treated enough if everything drops right.
Top Selections
1. Alazwar – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Brodie Hampson | Trainer: Archie Watson | Form: 2-3702 | Rating: 56 | Topspeed: 39
Alazwar looks the solid answer in a race where solidity counts for plenty. He shaped as though his turn was near when runner-up last time and that piece of form reads well enough in this grade, especially as he has the joint-highest rating in the field and doesn’t need to improve much to win a Class 6 like this. Drawn in 4, he should be able to get a handy slot, and Miss Brodie Hampson is exactly the sort you want aboard in these amateur events. At 9/2 with Bet365, he makes more appeal than a few shorter-priced or similarly priced rivals because he brings both consistency and a workable set-up. Bet: WIN
2. Book Of Life – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Lucas Murphy | Trainer: Patrick Morris | Form: 246243 | Rating: 53 | Topspeed: 33
Book Of Life is not hard to warm to as an each-way play in a 13-runner handicap with four places on offer. His recent figures tell the story of a horse running his race more often than not, and that latest third suggested he remains competitive from this mark. The inside draw in 3 is another plus around here, giving Mr Lucas Murphy the chance to save ground and creep into it late. He is not especially well ahead of the assessor, but he is reliable in a race full of doubtful stayers, out-of-form types and runners with questions to answer. At 7/1 with Bet365, he looks the value each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Alazwar is the win bet because he arrives with the strongest recent profile and looks well suited by both trip and draw. Book Of Life is the each-way alternative, chiefly because he keeps turning up and should be in the first four if the race is run to form. No Knee Never and last-time-out winner Volendam are the obvious dangers in a tightly-knit opener.

18:00 – Enjoy Summer Racing At Wolverhampton Racecourse Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep maiden for the grade and the market has latched onto the right pair. Littlecote sets the standard on what she’s achieved already, arriving on the back of two runner-up efforts and bringing the best combination of rating and topspeed in the field. Shayhana is the obvious threat after shaping with promise when second on her sole start, and she’s very much the unknown quantity now sent up to 1m4f. Electric Arc adds some intrigue receiving plenty of weight as a 3yo newcomer from George Boughey’s yard, while Exquisite Skye has at least shown enough to nick some place money. The older fillies don’t make huge appeal overall, so this looks a race likely decided by class and potential rather than battle-hardened form.
Top Selections
1. Littlecote – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 5-22 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 53
Littlecote is the one with the most solid profile and, in a race where a few still have plenty to prove, that matters. She’s already posted two second-place finishes this season, suggesting she’s knocking firmly on the door, and her mark of 72 with a topspeed figure of 53 gives her the clearest form edge. Balding’s fillies are usually well placed and P J McDonald is a positive booking for a race that may not take a great deal of winning. At 6/4 she’s no giveaway, but she’s hard to oppose on the evidence in front of us and sets the standard. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Exquisite Skye – 16/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Michael Keady | Form: 3330- | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 35
If you want something at a price to chase the places, Exquisite Skye makes more appeal than most of the outsiders. She was placed three times in a row before ending last season with a lesser effort, but that earlier run of consistency gives her a fair each-way squeak in a race lacking depth beyond the principals. She gets weight from the older mares and already has a foundation of racecourse experience that some of these don’t. Marco Ghiani is a notable positive in this company, and 16/1 looks a fair bit bigger than her chance if she handles the extra emphasis on stamina. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Littlecote is the win bet because she brings the strongest established form and looks the most likely to run her race. For an each-way play, Exquisite Skye is the value angle at a double-figure price in an eight-runner field with three places on offer. Shayhana is the obvious danger, while Electric Arc is the interesting unknown if the market speaks strongly.

18:30 – Country And Western Raceday – 28th June Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a compact but competitive little handicap where the market is unlikely to be far wrong, though there are one or two angles against the obvious. Lordsbridge Blu arrives on the back of a solid second and is easy enough to see making a bold bid again, while Epictetus has been knocking on the door and brings the look of a horse who should be winning one of these before long. Jez Bomb is another with dependable recent form and the inside draw could help around here, whereas Echalar has the topspeed figure to get involved if Ian Williams can coax him back to his best. It is not the deepest Class 4 you will ever see, but it is a trappy race in which tactical positioning and who settles best over this 1m1f could prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Epictetus – 7/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Jamie Osborne | Form: 303242 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 72
Epictetus is beginning to look expensive to follow, but this might be the right spot to catch him. His recent sequence says he is holding his form well, and that latest second was another reminder that he remains very capable off this mark. A rating of 94 leaves him right in the mix in a race lacking much unexposed depth, and stall 5 should allow Saffie Osborne to keep things uncomplicated. He does not have masses in hand, but he is consistent, proven at this sort of level and easier to trust than most of these. At 7/2, he makes plenty of appeal in a race where reliability counts for a lot. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Jez Bomb – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rowan Scott | Trainer: Sam England | Form: 23-362 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 62
Jez Bomb looks the each-way value if you want something at a fairer price than the principals. He has been admirably consistent in recent starts, with that form line of 23-362 showing a horse who keeps giving his running without quite getting his head in front. From stall 1, Rowan Scott should be able to save ground and hold a handy enough position, which is often no bad thing around Wolverhampton. He is only 1lb lower than Epictetus on the ratings and does not need to improve much to hit the frame again. At 7/1, he makes plenty of sense as the solid each-way punt in the race. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Epictetus is the win play because he brings the most convincing blend of recent form and dependability in a race where several have questions to answer. Jez Bomb is the each-way alternative at the bigger price, especially with three places on offer in a nine-runner field. Lordsbridge Blu is the obvious danger if building on his latest second, while Echalar is the one who could outrun his odds if bouncing back.

19:00 – Get Raceday Ready Restricted Maiden Stakes (For Horses In Bands C And D) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary restricted maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to the handful with solid placed form. Vidmiyr sets the standard on figures after ending last season with a respectable fourth and owns the best rating in the field, while Clementines Star has done little wrong in two starts and gets a useful pull at the weights. Imelda also brings the right sort of profile after finishing second on debut and is open to sharp improvement. Behind those, Cotai Eye Joe has already shown enough to be competitive again, but several of the bigger prices look up against it on what they’ve done so far. In truth, this revolves around which of the three main players improves most for the return.
Top Selections
1. Clementines Star – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Daniel & Claire Kubler | Form: 33- | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 38
There’s enough substance to her profile to make her very appealing in this company. Two runs, two thirds, and she has already shown a level of consistency that plenty of these can only dream about. An official mark of 75 puts her right near the top of this field, and the 5lb she receives from Vidmiyr could be important in what may turn into a tactical enough 7f. The Kubler team are patient with these types and this looks a sensible spot to start progressing. At 4/1 with Bet365, she makes plenty of appeal against a favourite who may prove vulnerable if not fully tuned up. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Cotai Eye Joe – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Ivan Furtado | Form: 33 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 30
He’s not as flashy on the numbers as the principals, but there’s a lot to like about a colt who has already posted back-to-back thirds and should know his job by now. That experience matters in these restricted maidens, especially around Wolverhampton where track position and professionalism count for plenty. Silvestre De Sousa is a notable booking and from stall 7 he ought to have options rather than being forced into one style. He does need to find a bit on ratings, but the market has him about right and 9/2 still feels workable for an each-way play in a 12-runner field with three places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Clementines Star is the one to side with win only; she has the most convincing mix of proven form and scope for better. Cotai Eye Joe is the each-way punt, mainly because he brings race fitness and a solid, reliable level into a contest where a few are still guessing. The obvious dangers are Vidmiyr, who has the best figures, and debut second Imelda, who could take a big step forward.

19:30 – Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary but quite competitive 3yo handicap, the sort where a favourable draw and a bit of tactical sharpness could make all the difference. Giles Glory and Shes Got The Blues have the most solid recent profiles for this level, while Electrocution has already shown he can win handicaps and is respected despite a slightly messy latest run. Based is one of the more interesting improvers after just four starts and could still have a bit in hand from stall 3. At the other end, a few arrive with plenty to prove, including Resalah, Clipstone and Lc Tiffen. It is not a deep race in quality terms, but it is a proper betting heat, with several holding some sort of chance and not much room for error over this trip.
Top Selections
1. Giles Glory – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: T Ellis | Form: -14644 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 50
He is hardly hiding from the assessor, but Giles Glory has the look of the safest option in a race full of partly exposed, partly unreliable 3yos. The draw in stall 1 is a major plus around Wolverhampton over 7f, and his recent sequence of fourths suggests he is holding his form well without getting the rub of the green. This is only Class 6 company and a mark of 64 does not look beyond him judged on those recent efforts. Luke Morris is the right man for this sort of race too, and the available 4/1 makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of the market rivals still have questions to answer. Bet: WIN
2. Based – 13/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Curtis Wilson-Ruddock | Trainer: William Knight | Form: 078- | Rating: 59 | Topspeed: 15
Based is the slightly riskier play, but he is also one of the few in here who could easily be better than his mark. His bare form figures do not leap off the page, though he has only had three starts and now goes handicapping from a modest rating of 59. William Knight’s runners in this sphere are always worth a second look when they are switched into low-grade handicaps, and stall 3 gives him every chance to get a handy position rather than being forced to make up ground wide. At 13/2 he looks the each-way value against more exposed rivals, especially if the market support comes late. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Giles Glory is the percentage call for the win bet: solid recent form, a good inside draw and the right jockey for this track. Based is the each-way punt in a 12-runner race, as his opening handicap mark leaves room for improvement. Shes Got The Blues is the obvious danger after her latest second, while Electrocution also has enough form to get involved if bouncing back.

20:00 – Hotel And Conferencing At Wolverhampton Racecourse Handicap
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a low-grade 3yo handicap but it does look a fairly workable one rather than a complete guessing game. Crown Inn To Win brings the most solid recent profile after a string of seconds, while Forever Perfect arrives off a win and has the inside draw to work from again. Montu has been knocking on the door too and, on Topspeed figures, is right in the thick of it, so the market has understandably latched on to the same core trio. Behind them, Bradbury and Favourite Friend are the more interesting unexposed types if stepping forward for top yards. In truth, this probably revolves around which of the principals gets the run of the race over this 1m4f, and I’d rather side with proven recent consistency than hope for a sudden leap from the less exposed ones.
Top Selections
1. Crown Inn To Win – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Ivan Furtado | Form: 7-8222 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 46
He’s becoming expensive to follow, but there’s no getting away from the strength of his profile in a race like this. Four consecutive placed efforts, including three straight seconds, set the standard on reliability, and a mark of 63 is hardly punitive given how often he has been shaping as though another win is close. Silvestre De Sousa is a notable booking in this grade and that only adds to the sense connections mean business. At 10/3 with Bet365, you are not stealing a price, but he’s the one with the clearest, safest claims and looks hard to oppose if getting a decent trip. Bet: WIN
2. Favourite Friend – 11/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 868-6 | Rating: 56 | Topspeed:
This is exactly the sort of profile that can be overlooked in the market before suddenly clicking. The form figures are uninspiring on the face of it, but this Sir Mark Prescott runner is lightly raced, now handicapping off 56, and shaped on seasonal return as though there should be more to come once sent over a trip. Wolverhampton and a staying test can often be the making of one from this yard, and Luke Morris is hardly a random booking around here. At 11/2 with Betfair, she makes more appeal as an each-way punt than a win proposition, but the upside is there if the penny drops. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Crown Inn To Win is the percentage call for the win bet because he brings the strongest recent handicap form and looks sure to give another honest account. Favourite Friend is the each-way alternative at a fair enough price for a yard that often improves these types with racing and distance. The obvious dangers are Montu, who has solid figures, and Forever Perfect, who arrives in form from stall 1.

Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a proper late-night Wolverhampton sprint handicap: tight margins, plenty with bits and pieces of recent form, and not much room for error over a sharp 5f. Forever Noah sets the standard on consistency after a pair of recent seconds and is understandably prominent in the market, while Candy Warhol arrives in similarly solid nick after shaping well again last time. Henery Hawk is another with a live chance from stall 1 if able to hold a handy position, and Dark Side Prince is the sort who can bounce back quickly in this grade. It is not a deep race in quality terms, but it is a tricky little puzzle because several of these are operating around their level and small tactical details will decide it.

Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: Joey Ramsden | Form: 237922 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 60
Forever Noah is hardly hiding from the assessor, but he has become very hard to knock in this basement sprint grade. Those last two runner-up efforts suggest he is knocking firmly on the door, and a mark of 73 is perfectly manageable given this is not exactly a race packed with unexposed lurkers. Stall 5 looks workable, Callum Rodriguez is a positive booking, and the horse’s recent profile says he should travel strongly and give himself every chance. At 3/1 he is not a giveaway, but in a race full of unreliable types he makes plenty of appeal as the solid option and the one most likely to run his race. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Henery Hawk – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Kaiya Fraser | Trainer: Linda Perratt | Form: -63236 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 63
Henery Hawk is the each-way angle in a race where a lot of the obvious alternatives are short enough for what they are. He has been running with credit without quite getting his head in front, but that recent sequence is fair for this level and his draw in stall 1 could be a real asset if he breaks on terms and secures the rail. His Topspeed figure of 63 is competitive in this field, and he does not need to improve dramatically to hit the frame again. At 13/2, he looks the value play against some of the more fashionable names, especially with three places on offer. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Forever Noah is the win bet because his recent seconds give him the strongest piece of current form in the race. Henery Hawk makes more appeal as the each-way punt from a handy inside draw at a fairer price. Candy Warhol is the obvious danger after another good recent effort, while Dark Side Prince is not one to dismiss if bouncing back from a quiet reappearance.
