17:45 Wolverhampton – Donald Llewelyn
18:45 Wolverhampton – Jilly Cooper

17:15 Wolverhampton – Iftikhaar

Iftikhaar looks the big improver in the line-up. He was a Shadwell castoff who has a very tidy pedigree, and wasn’t cheap at £52,000. Makes his handicap debut going up in distance and that can bring about the required improvement tonight.

17:45 Wolverhampton – Donald Llewelyn

Made no mistake off a mammoth layoff of 700 days when running out the easy winner of a similar contest last time at Kempton. Admittedly, Donald Llewelyn he does back up fairly quickly, just 10 days later, but provided his excellent trainer has got him to avoid the bounce factor, he’s found a great opportunity to win again.

18:45 Wolverhampton – Jilly Cooper

Lots of these come in with fairly recent winning form, but there is no getting away from the fact that Jilly Cooper is the class act in here. Jockey Oliver Stammers takes off a valuable 3lbs and with this filly returned to her ideal distance from an inside starting stall position, she’s going to get an ideal run into the race.

18:30 Dundalk – Selective Power

Was drawn in the car park last time and was dropped in from that position but never really got competitive from a revised mark of 57. We’re not expecting him to live up to his pedigree as a half brother to Slade Power who was rated 123, but looks to be nowhere near his ceiling rating and can get back on the winning thread tonight.

19:15 Wolverhampton – Tricky Business

Has to turn the form around with Breezyandbright on their meeting at Southwell just seven days ago. There is every opportunity Tricky Business may do that as he not only gets the blinkers added, but he looks the lone speed horse in here. This track definitely favours the leaders and he might just be able to zip away on the front end.

20:15 Wolverhampton – Wait for the Lord

She has dropped a good way down the handicap after her early career produced a very good effort in Listed company at Lingfield, which saw her lumping too much weight for a little while in hot handicaps. It was a nice reintroduction from 470 days away from the track around here last time and the added 220 yards will be in Wait for the Lord’s favour.
