Having had excuses for her previous run, WALEYFA quickly got back on track returned to all-weather when winning readily at Chelmsford 8 days ago and she can follow up under a penalty. Precedent showed encouragement on his seasonal/stable debut last time and can be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Global Tycoon.

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
