It’s all about the West Midlands tonight as Wolverhampton host a busy all-weather race, live on Sky Sports Racing
5.00 Wolverhampton – last time-out winners, H Key Lails v Showhound clash
A competitive looking handicap that pits several in-form rivals, including Richard Fahey houndwho didn’t show much on all weathers until winning at big odds of 33/1 at Newcastle last time. The key to this seems to be a step up to seven furlongs and a 2lb gain may not be enough to stop it.
Callum Hutchinson lifts his leg H Key Lails who is a consistent guy and comes here in good form after winning at Lingfield last month. It would be a concern if his best form comes over a mile and he has yet to actually win this distance.
Fools Rush In disappointed when sent off 10-11 favorite at Lingfield but should be given another chance as he just ran into an in-form rival that day.
Port of Erin and Zu Run finalize the shortlist in what appears to be a sly Weekly Free Bets with BetMGM Extra Handicap.
6.00 Wolverhampton – Tyke and Gogo Yubari headline.
Dylan Cunha’s four-year-old Gogo Yubari continued over five lengths at Chelmsford and will relish this step back in trip here. He is finding his way to his last winning mark of 67 which came over course and distance and should be competitive.
Naughty child finished second over course and distance last time, after setting a good clip in front and still finished creditably despite this. He must be respected without change and if he is allowed to dictate things from the front, he could be brought into the winner’s enclosure.
Professor Tickle he was well beaten by Tyke and it would be hard to argue that he could reverse that form, but he is now 7lbs off his last win which would give him an every-way chance in this £30 Free Bets with BetUK Handicap.
5.30 Wolverhampton – Starfighter vs Virtual Hug again.
A nine-year-old Star hunter loves around Wolverhampton, having claimed four wins and the veteran is set to make his 73rd appearance at the racecourse. He defeated his opponent again A virtual hug who chased him home and is likely to undo that form as he is 1lb better this time in the BetUK. Here the UK is betting on a handicap.
Mhaim caught the eye of Lingfield, finished strongly despite being slow away and should be in the mix if he breaks through well this time.
Tony Carroll saddles Walk on the moon who has returned to form after wind surgery and should go down well with the trainer who is competing for the all-weather trainer title.
Second Wolverhampton
Andrew Balding Chartwell Jock cost a hefty 100,000gns from Tattersalls’ second book, and will be looking to get away with the first hand in tonight’s Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club first stakes. Hollie Doyle gets a ride Crackalackinreplacing Gina Mangan.
Tom McGuiness has two runners in form Viva Voce (7.00) i Hurriedly (8.30), and both will be looking to return to winning ways after losing the previous day.
