It's all about the West Midlands this evening as Wolverhampton host a fantastic packed all-weather race card, live on Sky Sports Racing.
5.00 Wolves – Winners at the end of the time-out, HK Lyles and the Shawhounds clash
A competitive-looking handicap that pits many flamboyant competitors including Richard Fahey Shawhoundwho had not shown much in all weather conditions until winning by a huge margin of 33/1 at Newcastle last time out. The key to this race appears to be going up seven furlongs and a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop him.
Callum Hutchinson steps forward H Key Lyles He is a consistent type and comes here in good form after beating Lingfield last month. It would be worrying if his best form comes over a mile and he has not actually won that distance yet.
Fools rush in Disappointed when he was sent off 10-11 at Lingfield, but should be given another chance having just clashed with in-form opposition that day.
Port Erin and To operate Complete the shortlist of what seems difficult Weekly free bets with BetMGM Extra Handicap.
6.00 Wolverhampton – Taek and Gogo Yubari.
Dylan Cunha is four years old Gojo Yubari He was hanging on by five lengths at Chelmsford and will enjoy this spare step in the trip here. He has found his way back to his recent win mark of 67 which came over the course and distance and should be competitive.
Tyke He finished second over the course and distance last time out, having posted a good clip from the front and yet still finished creditably. He must be respected without change, and if he is allowed to dictate things from the front, he can put himself in the fold of winners.
Professor Tickle He was beaten well by Tyke and it would be hard to say he can turn that around but he is now 7lbs short of his last win mark which will give him a chance either way in this £30 in free bets with BetUK Handicap.
5.30 Wolverhampton – Starfighter returns and virtual hug.
Nine years Starfighter He loves Wolves, having claimed four wins and the veteran is set to make his 73rd appearance at the racecourse. He overcame re-opposition Virtual hug Who chased him home and will likely turn this model around to be one pound better this time in BetUK. It's where the UK bets on disability.
attacker Lingfield caught the eye, finishing strongly despite being slowly away and should be in the mix if he breaks well this time.
Tony Carroll saddles Moon walk Who has regained his form after Operation Wind and should go well as the trainer bids for the all-weather trainers' title.
