Wolverhampton Family Fun Day August 10th Handicap

Off time: 19:15 | Winning time: 2m 0.76s

(1)

Glorious Asset⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 61

9/2

Only career win came on Southwell's Fibresand, but he has also run well here in the past including when a close second in March. Not out of it off this mark by any means.

Form: 73217-8

(2)

Let Me In^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 58| CD

9/2

Not always the most straightforward but ran a fine race in third here recently and two of his three career wins came here (though when it was still a Polytrack surface). Still on a fair mark.

Form: 44/U233

(3)

Windsorlot¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

6/1

Beaten 20L on turf at Doncaster last time and yet to win on the AW, but two efforts over C&D in December are encouraging as he returns to this course for the first time since.

Form: 56623-9

(8)

Velvet Voice¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: M H Tompkins| OR: 55

18/1

0/9 in her career so far, and best efforts have been on turf. Steps back in trip having not had many things go right for her at this course last time out.

Form: 9285-07

(7)

Misu Pete¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| C

18/1

Not a bad overall strike-rate for the grade, including on the AW, but all his best form is over shorter than this (generally best over 7f).

Form: 2-67048

(9)

Maraakib³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 53

16/1

Remains an AW maiden after 12 attempts, and is yet to show his best for this yard. Best watched now back up in trip.

Form: 5-44679

(13)

John Caesar^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 52| CD

25/1

8lb lower than when winning over C&D but recent form is nothing to get excited about and he has an awkward draw to over come here especially as he is often prominent.

Form: 37-8539

(11)

Dream Free^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: M Walford| OR: 49

12/1

Remains a maiden after 16 races (including one over hurdles), and though he has hinted at ability at this course others hold much stronger form claims.

Form: 78443-7

(12)

Midnight Mood^t⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 49

33/1

This is the best of the variety of trips she's been tried over but she has too many questions to answer on her first Flat start since November, including her aptitude for this surface .

Form: 603955-

(10)

Emigrated^t,v⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 49| CD

3/1

C&D winner three starts back who then went on to win again here over further on his penultimate start. Handicapper looked in charge at Chelmsford last week but on a more reasonably mark now.

Form: 764114

(6)

Life Of Luxury^p1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: P J McDonald| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 47

9/1

17 race maiden who was beaten 57L over C&D when last seen in another weak affair. Cheek pieces on but unlikely they will bring about the improvement he needs to have a say in this.

Form: 60-0648

(4)

Moccasin^v³¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: D Allan| T: G A Harker| OR: 45| CD

50/1

No win since September 2015 and though this drop back in trip is a positive his recent form over this distance still isn't good enough for him to be a genuine contender.

Form: 09/0954-

Splash Of Verve⁶²⁸

Weight: 8-13| Age: 6

T: D Thompson J: Harrison Shaw

Forecasts

Emigrated (3/1), Let Me In (9/2), Glorious Asset (9/2), Windsorlot (6/1), Life Of Luxury (9/1), Dream Free (12/1), Splash Of Verve (14/1), Maraakib (16/1), Misu Pete (18/1), Velvet Voice (18/1), John Caesar (25/1), Midnight Mood (33/1), Moccasin (50/1)

LET ME IN has put in some fine efforts over C&D recently, and though shaping as if he perhaps wants a bit further at this stage there should be enough pace on here for him to improve on his recent third placed finish here. He is taken to land the spoils ahead of Windsorlot, who returns to the AW here, and Glorious Asset.
