LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Hannon (46 wins from 372 runners, 12%) runs KING’S CODE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Hannon (6 wins from 57 runners, 11%) runs KING’S CODE LONGEST TRAVELLER: OUT OF MISCHIEF trained by J O’Keeffe, Leyburn, 150 miles.

KING’S CODE left his reappearance effort in his wake and did well to score having conceded first run when landing a 4-runner handicap at Bath 10 days ago Open to further improvement, he gets the nod to defy a 1lb higher mark. The pick of I’m Too Tired’s form in novice company makes him of interest off a mark of 68 and he’s feared, with C&D winner Yeoman and another likely improver Beau Vintage also worth a look

The step up to 1 1/2m proved too much of a test for GIVE A LITTLE BACK at Newbury last time but he is of strong interest back down in trip and returned to a course where he has performed well on each of his 6 previous visits He could may have most to fear from Carey Street, who hit the crossbar over C&D last month and remains on a workable mark. Sarkha and Strategic Fortune are also appealing, while Prince Ali could have a part to play if the first-time cheekpieces have thedesired effect.

FOOD & DRINK

Food and drink may not be brought into any enclosure For safety reasons you are politely requested not to take bottles and glasses outside of the bar and restaurant areas.

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
