Horse & Jockey Welfare at Wolverhampton
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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: COPPER MOUNTAIN trained by M & D Easterby, Sheriff Hutton, 135 miles. RACE SUMMARY
It’s been a while since COPPER MOUNTAIN last tasted success but her turn is surely near judged on near misses at Newcastle the last twice and this step back up in trip looks a good move. Cryptos Dream has done well for present connections and looks sure to be on the premises once more, while the likes of Ermin Street, Escobedo and Pink Jazz should be vying for minor honours. 1-2-3: 1.COPPER MOUNTAIN 2.CRYPTOS DREAM (IRE) 3.ERMIN STREET (IRE) KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY
Having shaped well when fifth in a potentially useful Kempton novice, EXPECTED ARRIVAL could be the answer with improvement likely now faced with a slightly stiffer test. Next on the list is well-bred newcomer Springbecamesummer, who is marginally second choice ahead of stablemate Bigtime Bridget, a winner over this C&D on her third start last month.

OUT OF THE STARS was out with the washing in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot when last seen during the summer but she looked promising on debut at Kempton and is of strong interest now back in calmer waters. Newcomer Dawn Success is a likely type and is nominated as the main danger ahead of Doctor Vuby and the selection’s stablemate/debutant Jazz State. Scarboroughwarning is one to look out for in handicaps further down the line.

The vote goes to the consistent BRAZEN IDOL, who wasn’t beaten at all far when fourth over this C&D back from a three-month break recently, leaving the impression that his new mark is by no means beyond him. The Waiting Game won four on the bounce during the summer and probably would’ve added to her tally but for encountering traffic problems here last time. She is feared most ahead of Beauty Choice, Hallowed Time and Starshiba.
