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

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed
HHHII By no means without a chance
HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims
HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
IIIII Can be given little or no chance
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating
You must be 18 or over to place a bet

FIGHTING POET reacted well to blinkers when second at Lingfield last time and might be capable of going one better now if the headgear works again.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MUTASAWI trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 155 miles.
MUTASAWI produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Ripon 3 weeks ago despite not fully handling the undulations and with that effort behind him, he will take some stopping Knicks has 2 lengths to find with the selection but he was hampered so there’s hope he will finish closer this time

Godolphin cast-off POSEIDON PRINCE stepped up on his debut effort when chasing home a decent type in Tafreej when last seen at Yarmouth in October If fully tuned-up for this debut for new connections, he could be the answer There were excuses for Nigiri’s low-key reappearance effort (reportedly bled) and she remains of interest in view of what was a fairly promising introduction in a backend Newmarket maiden.
