18:30 – Free Tips On attheraces.com Handicap

Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any means, but it does have a fairly obvious shape to it. South Shore arrives on the back of a recent win and is the one the market has latched onto, while The Fixer also comes here after getting his head back in front and has the inside draw to help. Winemaker is another with solid enough sprint form for this level and he should be competitive if getting a clean run from stall 3. Behind those, it starts to thin out quickly, although Brave Bob is the type to nick a place if building on his latest second. It’s not a vintage contest, but in a 5f handicap around Wolverhampton, early speed, track position and a bit of luck from the gates will decide plenty.

Top Selections

1. South Shore – 5/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Robert Cowell | Form: -64531 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 55

South Shore is hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. He got the job done last time and, crucially, did so in a way that suggested he remains well capable of defying this sort of mark despite carrying top weight. Robert Cowell knows exactly how to place these sprinters and Marco Ghiani is a good booking in a sharp 5f where decisiveness matters. The draw in 7 is not perfect, but if he breaks on terms he has the pace to get across. At 5/4 he’s no giveaway, but he does hold the strongest claims on recent evidence and sets the standard. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Brave Bob – 16/1 with Bet365

Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: Julie Camacho | Form: 977-62 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 51

Brave Bob is the one at a bigger price who makes some each-way appeal. His recent second was a step back in the right direction after a quiet spell, and from stall 1 he should get the run of the race if David Egan can hold a handy position on the rail. He’s not the most prolific, but this isn’t a race stuffed with reliable finishers and he doesn’t need much more than that latest effort to get into the frame again. Available at 16/1, he looks the value play against a short-priced favourite, especially with three places on offer in a 10-runner sprint. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

South Shore is the percentage call and the win bet in a race where the opposition looks patchy. For an each-way angle, Brave Bob makes more appeal than most at the prices from a good inside draw and off the back of an encouraging second. The Fixer and Winemaker are the obvious dangers if the favourite underperforms.

19:00 – Free Bets On attheraces.com Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This looks a fairly tight little 2yo novice on paper, but the market has latched firmly onto Roxelina and it is easy enough to see why. Kevin Philippart De Foy’s filly already sets the standard on ratings and brings the strongest piece of form despite disappointing when last seen. Betty Boop is the obvious danger after making a promising start, while Lola also shaped with some promise on debut and could step forward. A few of the others, including Enhancing and Dreams Galore, have shown bits without screaming immediate winners, and Elpeeare is the interesting unknown on debut. In truth, this is not a deep race for the grade, so raw ability and professionalism over this sharp 5f are likely to decide it more than anything subtle.

Top Selections

1. Roxelina – 11/10 with Paddy Power

Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: Kevin Philippart De Foy | Form: 30 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed:

Roxelina is hard to get away from because she has already posted the best rating in the line-up and her debut third reads very well in the context of this race. The duck egg next to her name is not ideal, but one poor run does not erase the fact she sets the form standard by a fair margin. David Egan is a positive booking for a filly who should be able to travel strongly in a race lacking depth, and if she breaks on terms from stall 4 she ought to take plenty of beating. Around 11/10, she is no giveaway, but she still holds the clearest claims.

Bet: WIN

2. Lola – 9/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Tom Ward | Form: 3 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed:

Lola makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter-priced alternatives because her debut third suggested there is a bit to work with and natural improvement would put her right in the mix for a place. Tom Ward’s youngsters can come on for a run, and Rob Hornby is the sort to get one organised early over a bare 5f, which matters plenty at Wolverhampton. She does have a bit to find on the figures with the favourite, but at 9/1 she looks the value option in a race where several of the others have already shown their limitations. She is the sensible each-way punt.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple here: Roxelina is the win play because her best form is comfortably the strongest on offer and this does not look a deep novice. For those wanting a bit more value, Lola is the each-way alternative at 9/1. Betty Boop is the obvious danger if building on her debut, while newcomer Elpeeare is the one who could spring a surprise.

19:30 – Race & Rest – Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Handicap

Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This is a proper Wolverhampton sprint handicap: plenty with chances, not many you could call bombproof, and a draw-and-tempo element that matters over this sharp 6f. Moostar is the obvious starting point after a string of solid efforts and a handy low berth, while Baba Reza arrives off a good second and still retains enough ability to be dangerous in this grade. Daytona Lady and Jesse Luc are the sort who keep turning up and running their race, whereas Style King is lurking on an appealing mark if things drop right. Tuscan Point has stall 1 and that alone gives him a squeak in a contest where track position could prove decisive. Tricky rather than strong, but there are angles.

Top Selections

1. Moostar – 7/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Cieren Fallon | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 232236 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 74

Moostar is hardly hiding from the assessor, but he is running well enough to think this is his chance to finally cash in. That form string tells its own story: reliable, competitive and repeatedly thereabouts in similar company. The standout figure in this field on Topspeed only strengthens the case, and stall 2 is exactly where you want to be for a horse who should travel kindly and hold a prominent position. He does need to find a bit more than last time, but this race lacks a standout improver and 7/2 looks fair rather than skinny. He is the one I would want onside most.

Bet: WIN

2. Style King – 8/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Chris Dwyer | Form: 926853 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 70

Style King makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. He is not the most straightforward to win with, but that latest third suggested he is knocking on the door again and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa catches the eye in a race where aggression from the gates can make all the difference. He gets in here with just 125, which is a useful edge against several rivals carrying more, and draw 5 gives him options. There are more fashionable horses in the market, but at 8/1 he looks the value play if you want one to hit the frame and possibly do a bit better.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple: Moostar is the win bet because he brings the most solid recent profile, the right draw and the best Topspeed number. Style King is the each-way punt at a more attractive price, especially with four places on offer. The main dangers are Baba Reza, who has obvious claims on his recent second, and Daytona Lady, who is consistent enough to be involved again.

20:00 – Roy Grimwood Memorial Handicap

Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This is a proper 3yo handicap rather than a weak late-evening scramble, with several arriving in decent nick and a few whose marks still look workable. Safe Harbor has been knocking loudly on the door, Suggy has already won a handicap and still brings the best Topspeed figure in the field, while Karakula Dancer keeps running his race and should be competitive again from a fair draw. Stella Lucente is another who has been admirably consistent, though stall 12 is no gift over this mile. There are also a few with questions to answer, notably Lux Aeterna after a flat effort and If I Could Dream after two quiet runs this term. Competitive, yes, but not impossible to solve if siding with solid recent form.

Top Selections

1. Safe Harbor – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Marco Botti | Form: 4-3222 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 68

He is threatening to win one of these and, frankly, doesn’t need much more than a repeat of his recent sequence to go very close. Those three runner-up efforts on the spin tell the story of a colt holding his form extremely well, and an opening mark in this sort of race still looks manageable. Marco Ghiani is a positive booking for a horse who should travel strongly and be delivered late, while stall 9 is workable enough if he gets cover early. At 5/2 he is hardly a secret, but he is the one with the fewest holes in his profile and makes most appeal as the solid win play here.

Bet: WIN

2. Karakula Dancer – 7/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Liam Wright | Trainer: James Ferguson | Form: 231253 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 68

For an each-way angle, Karakula Dancer looks the percentage call. His form figures are those of a reliable, progressive sort who keeps putting himself in the argument, and the latest third suggested he remains on the right track rather than flattening out. A mark of 80 still gives him room to be competitive in this grade, and stall 6 is a handy middle berth from which he should get a clean run. James Ferguson’s horses are usually well placed in these races, and 7/1 feels fair rather than flashy. In a 13-runner field with four places on offer, he makes plenty of each-way sense.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Safe Harbor is the straightforward win bet given his consistency and the strength of his recent placed efforts. Karakula Dancer is the each-way option at the bigger price, with his solid profile well suited to a race of this nature. The obvious dangers are Suggy, who has the raw speed figures to bounce back, and Stella Lucente, though that wide draw makes life tougher.

20:30 – Call 01902 390016 To Name A Race Handicap

Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This is a pretty typical Wolverhampton Class 6 mile handicap: plenty with bits and pieces of form, not many you’d want to trust completely, and a strong suspicion that track position and temperament will matter as much as raw ability. Midnight Media heads the market after a better second and is the obvious one to beat among the 3yos, while Mythical Isle arrives off a win and is one of the few in here who comes with any real momentum. Crown The Future and Starakova are others from the younger brigade with workable marks, but both need to rebound from lesser efforts. Of the older horses, Manton Road has a bit of place appeal, whereas plenty of the rest look exposed. It’s not a strong race, but it is the sort where an unexposed 3yo can still have the edge.

Top Selections

1. Midnight Media – 7/2 with Betfair

Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: William Muir & Chris Grassick | Form: 059492 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 48

Midnight Media makes plenty of appeal in a race where solid recent form is in short supply. That latest second suggested he is starting to work things out, and as a 3yo taking on mostly exposed older handicappers, he doesn’t need to improve much more to take this. A mark of 65 looks fair enough rather than harsh, and stall 8 should give Lewis Edmunds options in a race that could get messy from the outset. He’s not bombproof by any means, but 7/2 is understandable in this company and he looks the runner with the most upside. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Manton Road – 17/2 with Bet365

Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: Richard Phillips | Form: -57703 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 47

Manton Road looks the each-way play at a price after shaping better than the bare result when third last time. That run hinted he may be finding his level now, and in a race full of unreliable older handicappers, that counts for plenty. David Egan is an eye-catching booking for this grade and the horse is weighted to be competitive off 62 if building on that latest effort. He doesn’t have the profile of a runaway improver, but at 17/2 with four places on offer, he makes more appeal than several shorter-priced rivals who have had plenty of chances. This looks a sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Midnight Media is the win play because he has the most scope for progress and arrives off the strongest recent piece of form. Manton Road is the each-way alternative at a fair price, especially with four places available. Mythical Isle is the obvious danger after winning last time, while Crown The Future is another to keep on side if bouncing back.

21:00 – Download The At The Races App Handicap

Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat

This looks a proper end-of-card handicap rather than a gift for punters, with a blend of exposed older handicappers and a couple of 3yos who could still have more to offer. Turku is the obvious one to focus on for a powerful yard after just three runs, while Imola arrives in solid nick and has already shown she can string good efforts together in this grade. Galaxy Wonder has been holding his form well and ought to be involved again, whereas Primo Lara and Post Rider are the sort who can travel strongly enough to make their presence felt if things drop right. It is not a deep race in quality, but it is a tricky puzzle tactically, and the younger legs may hold the key over this 1m1f on Tapeta.

Top Selections

1. Turku – 4/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford | Form: 654- | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 54

Turku is the one I want to be with because he is the least exposed horse in the line-up and could easily prove better than this opening mark. His three qualifying runs last year were ordinary on the face of it, but they came in novice company and he now drops into a Class 5 handicap receiving weight from the older brigade. The Crisford team are not in the habit of placing these badly, and Silvestre De Sousa is an eye-catching booking for a horse drawn well enough in stall 9 to avoid traffic issues. At 4/1 he is no giveaway, but he still looks the most likely improver. Bet type: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Primo Lara – 6/1 with Bet365

Jockey: George Wood | Trainer: Jack Morland | Form: 9-9625 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 35

Primo Lara makes more appeal as the each-way play than some of the shorter ones because he has a handy low draw in 3 and his recent form says he is competitive in this sort of event. That second two starts ago showed he still retains enough ability to go close when things fall into place, and the latest fifth was not nearly as bad as it looks if you are willing to forgive one slightly flat effort. George Wood should be able to get him into a stalking position from the gates, which matters around here. Available at 6/1, he looks the value each-way option in a race where plenty have questions to answer. Bet type: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Turku is the win bet on handicap debut because he has the clearest scope for improvement and gets a notable rider booking. Primo Lara is the each-way punt at 6/1, with the low draw giving him every chance to nick a place if not more. The obvious dangers are Imola, who is admirably consistent, and Galaxy Wonder, who keeps knocking on the door.
