LONGEST TRAVELLERS: DISQUIETUDE trained by J Butler, ANCREDI trained by P McEntee, MHAJIM trained by C Banham, KHANGAI trained by J Owen - all Newmarket, 125 miles.
DOUGLAS DC arrives out of sorts but would likely have finished a bit closer granted a smoother passage over C&D recently, so Tony Carroll’s 7-y-o gets the tentative nod from a career-low mark with blinkers replacing his usual cheekpieces. Second choice is Khangai, who is taking his racing well and wasted no time confirming he’s still in good form here last week Disquietude and Virtaul Hug can fight out third.

WEIGHTWATCHER: COME ON JOHN won off a handicap mark of 59, his rating is now down 8lb to 51. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MISAURA trained by P Kirby, Richmond, 154 miles.
Preference is for COME ON JOHN, who has hit the crossbar on several occasions since opening his account for this yard back in October and James Owen’s 6-y-o deserves to get the rub of the green (caught further back than ideal here last week). Heading up the dangers is Lednikov, who responded well to front-running tactics to end a long losing run at Southwell recently, while Bloodhound and Desert Guest both warrant a second look, too.

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. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.
