With leading amateur Simon Walker booked, WYVERN looks the most solid option. He didn’t do much wrong when third over this C&D last week and is now 1lb lower in the weights If Faster Bee is ready to roll following a break he will be a threat for his new yard, while Royal Observatory is a player back on the all-weather with blinkers enlisted and Al Suil Eile could be a factor if on a going day.

AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT WOLVERHAMPTON
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME
The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly. And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

As the betting ahead of his recent reappearance suggested that he might, SYNERGISM took a sizeable step forward when making a winning handicap debut upped to 9.5f here. This further increase in trip will be in his favour and he looks just the type that his ultra-shrewd yard will rack up a sequence with in the coming weeks. Crackamour is probably capable of better than he has shown so far and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of handicap debutant Battle Stride
