Looking ahead to the regular Saturday evening fixture at Wolverhampton.

We are only interested in viewing the handicap contests and this weekend we are blessed with 6 Handicaps and just the 2 maiden events on the card.
The 8 race card gets underway with a 5f maiden at 17:45 and our first handicap race is off at 18:15 over an extended mile the concluding handicap has been divided into two divisions hence the change to the original timings;
18:15 - 1m 141yds Handicap - Tricky contest and taking a big chance on Luca Cumani's SLEEPER KING. Only having his 2nd outing for his new yard, might find the step up in trip helps and the AW more suited to this Holy Roman Emperor colt. [Non Runner]
18:45 - 7f 32yds Handicap - A very compressed handicap with only 5lb separating the 12 declared runners.
Top weight KOHARA struggled under an apprentice last time out but now as Steve Drowne which should make a bit of difference over this trip, at 20/1 that looks worth a shout. [5th 33/1]
19:45 - 1m 4f 50yds Handicap - A winner of 10 races in Ireland over both Hurdles and on the flat the 10 year old ALADDINS CAVE is the selection at odds of 20/1 in this field of 8 runners. [4th 50/1]
20:15 - 1m 4f 50yds Handicap - Not much racing form on the new surface here still so a chance is taken on the only recent winner in the field which is THANE OF CAWDOR who took a race a Kempton a couple of races back. Gets the trip ok and is reasonably weighted so 12/1 outside on the forecast odds must be snapped up. [3rd 14/1]
20:45 - 1m 1f 103yds Handicap - Division one of the concluding handicap and a field of 13 declared, LORD OF THE STORM might not win often but is up to this sort of company and does regularly get placed, is lightly raced for a 6yo on the flat too (only 25 runs) [4th 25/1]
21:15 - 1m 1f 103yds Handicap - Division two also has 13 declared runners, going with two here against the field as I like to think that MY NEW ANGEL can run better here than in the apprentice race she contested on her last visit two months ago. [7th 33/1]
Taking a big leap of faith with PERCYS PRINCESS who has only had the 5 career runs but with recent advances in trip has seem some improvement. Was beaten 4 lengths last time over furlong shorter at 100/1 might (just might!!) be getting the hang of this now and worth a go at a big price.
WTF -- 4th 5/2F? based on his runs to date that was an incredible price even though they lost. Never expected that.
Have a great weekend everyone and results will be updated later during the evening.
