LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): D M Loughnane (63 wins from 600 runners, 10%) runs ALGHEED TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D M Loughnane (9 wins from 27 runners, 33%) runs ALGHEED LONGEST TRAVELLERS: RISHES BAAR trained by G Tutty, Northallerton, 155 miles. STARSHIBA trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 155 miles.

This is probably JILLY COOPER’s optimum trip so she’s taken to resume winning ways on the back of a good effort over 1m at Lingfield last time Starshiba has got right back to form lately and can provide the chief threat ahead of the thriving Algheed.

Veterinary Care

Horse welfare is a priority at Wolverhampton. At every meeting there are two specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all the horses in action One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle. Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents. In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst
