Wolverhampton Race Analysis: October 27, 2025 (Chronological Order)
1. 4.23 Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM “Hands And Heels” Apprentice Handicap (Class 6)
(1m 142y / 1m 1/2f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Amber Honey (7/4) | E Dunlop | Jack Dace |
| 2 | Francesi (2/1) | S Woods | Katrine Holm (7) |
Recent Form and Comments
- Amber Honey (3yo): Has a record of 1-14, with her sole win coming over this Course and Distance (C&D) in May. She has finished placed in her last four starts. Her latest second over C&D was an eyecatching effort, and despite being nudged up 2lb, she remains on a workable mark. She is considered a big player with headgear removed.
- Francesi (6yo): Holds a record of only one win from 43 starts, but he is currently on a much reduced mark. He made a bold bid under a prominent ride when finishing runner-up over C&D 16 days ago, and he should be in the mix again.
Spotlight Verdict
AMBER HONEY is deemed top of the list, being a C&D winner who has been placed in her last four starts, including an eyecatching second recently. Francesi, who was also C&D runner-up last time, is feared most, ahead of Birkie Boy.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3-year-olds (3yo) hold a record of 0 wins, 1 place, from 3 runners (0-1-3); 4-year-olds and older (4yo+) hold a record of 1 win, 1 place, from 8 runners (1-1-8).
- Fate of Favourites: Not available in the sources.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): E Dunlop has a 71% run-to-form rate. S Woods has a 69% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Amber Honey (Strengths/Suitability): Proven C&D winner and highly consistent, placing in her last four starts. She is considered on a workable mark despite the 2lb rise.
- Amber Honey (Weakness): Needs to handle the small rise in weight after her last placing.
- Francesi (Strengths/Suitability): Benefits from a much reduced handicap mark. Recent form (C&D runner-up) shows he is capable of mixing it in this class.
- Francesi (Weakness): Very poor career strike rate (1 win from 43 starts).
2. 5.00 Win £250,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (Class 5)
(5f 21y / 5f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shine On Me (2/9) | A Watson | James Doyle |
| 2 | Nebbia (20/1) | H Morrison | Hollie Doyle |
Recent Form and Comments
- Shine On Me (2yo): Yet to win in six attempts. However, she has run some excellent races in classy company, notably finishing runner-up in a Group 3 in France (5f, very soft) on her penultimate run. She sets a very high standard (RPR Master 105) back in much calmer waters and is expected to be hard to beat on this switch to AW.
- Nebbia (2yo): Made an encouraging start when finishing fifth at Chelmsford (1m, AW), beaten 2l. She failed to build on this when well-held recently at Kempton (7f). She has something to prove dropped to 5f, and handicaps are thought to be more suitable for her.
Spotlight Verdict
This is viewed as a golden opportunity for SHINE ON ME to open her account, given she was third/runner-up in a Group 3 in France and sets a high standard here. Data Fata Secutus could be the one for the forecast spot.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: This race is confined to 2-year-old fillies.
- Fate of Favourites: Not available in the sources.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): A Watson has a 75% run-to-form rate. H Morrison has a 25% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Shine On Me (Strengths/Suitability): Possesses outstanding form for this level (RPR 105), including running well in Group 3 company. The class drop makes her a strong contender.
- Shine On Me (Weakness): Still seeking her first win (0-6).
- Nebbia (Strengths/Suitability): Showed encouragement on her debut AW start.
- Nebbia (Weakness): Form dipped dramatically last time, and the drop to 5f is a question mark; better suited to handicaps.
3. 5.30 Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Fillies’ Novice Stakes (Class 5)
(1m 1f 104y / 1m 1 1/2f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sprightly Dance (10/11) | R Varian | Ray Dawson |
| 2 | Leeson Street (3/1) | A Haynes | Kieran O’Neill |
Recent Form and Comments
- Sprightly Dance (3yo): Sibling to six winners. Showed promise with a second-place finish in a Yarmouth event (1m), while shaping as if this longer distance will suit. She is considered to have leading claims. RPR Master is 88.
- Leeson Street (3yo): Has displayed ability in two AW races around 1m, recently finishing runner-up to a comfortable winner at Lingfield. Her dam’s pedigree suggests she will stay this extended trip (1m 1 1/2f), making her one of the main form contenders. RPR Master is 78.
Spotlight Verdict
In terms of form, Yarmouth runner-up SPRIGHTLY DANCE is the pick ahead of Leeson Street. The nicely bred newcomer Maneater merits attention if the market speaks positively.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: This race is open to 3-year-old and older fillies and mares.
- Fate of Favourites: Not available in the sources.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): R Varian has a 67% run-to-form rate. A Haynes has a 24% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Sprightly Dance (Strengths/Suitability): Formally superior (RPR 88). Expected to relish the step up to 1m 1 1/2f.
- Sprightly Dance (Weakness): None noted; holds the strongest form profile.
- Leeson Street (Strengths/Suitability): Demonstrated ability on AW (runner-up recently) and bred to handle the extended distance.
- Leeson Street (Weakness): Rated 10 RPR points below Sprightly Dance.
4. 6.00 Read Meg Nicholls’ Blog At betmgm.co.uk Handicap (Div I) (Class 6)
(7f 36y / 7f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bomb Squad (4/1) | J Mackie | Lewis Edmunds |
| 2 | Good Karma (11/4) | J Riches | Callum Hutchinson |
Recent Form and Comments
- Bomb Squad (7yo): A dual course winner. Has finished placed over C&D and at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in his last two runs. He remains feasibly treated on his best form and has claims if the race pace sets up for his closing style.
- Good Karma (5yo): C&D winner. He capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk in July and recorded a close third at Redcar last month. Remains well treated on old form and is respected returning to the AW.
Spotlight Verdict
The vote goes to C&D winner GOOD KARMA, who went close at Redcar recently and is only 1lb higher on his return to AW. The in-form 7yo Bomb Squad is feared most.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3yo 2-1-6, 4yo+ 0-2-10.
- Fate of Favourites: The fate of the favourites in this race division (I) is 43.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): J Mackie has a 40% run-to-form rate. J Riches is not explicitly listed in the 14-day record box.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Bomb Squad (Strengths/Suitability): Dual course winner with strong recent placed form on AW. Well-handicapped if the pace is sufficient.
- Bomb Squad (Weakness): Requires the race to unfold favorably for his closing style.
- Good Karma (Strengths/Suitability): C&D winner, well treated on old form. Proven ability to translate recent turf form (Redcar third) onto AW.
- Good Karma (Weakness): Only 1lb higher, suggesting little margin for error.
5. 6.30 Read Meg Nicholls’ Blog At betmgm.co.uk Handicap (Div II) (Class 6)
(7f 36y / 7f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sands Of Dubai (9/4) | R Fahey | Barry McHugh |
| 2 | Toussarok (9/2) | A Carroll | Luke Morris |
Recent Form and Comments
- Sands Of Dubai (3yo): Secured her first win at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap last month. This was a narrow victory, but she finished well to justify favouritism, and a 3lb rise is considered fair. She is still unexposed on AW and is a key player.
- Toussarok (7yo): A C&D winner who previously had a string of good runs at Brighton before winning comfortably here. He was disappointing last time when he bled from the nose. He is now 7lb higher than his penultimate win, and may face competition for the lead back on AW.
Spotlight Verdict
Preference is given to Richard Fahey’s 3yo SANDS OF DUBAI, who broke through when justifying favouritism over C&D last month. The main threat could come from course-specialist Bungle Bay.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3yo 2-1-6, 4yo+ 0-2-10.
- Fate of Favourites: The fate of the favourites in this race division (II) is 43.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): R Fahey has a 54% run-to-form rate. A Carroll has a 59% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Sands Of Dubai (Strengths/Suitability): Recent C&D winner who is still lightly raced on AW. Only faces a modest 3lb penalty.
- Sands Of Dubai (Weakness): Her latest victory was narrow.
- Toussarok (Strengths/Suitability): C&D winner who handles the AW well.
- Toussarok (Weakness): Disappointing run last time (bled from nose). Carries a high weight (7lb rise from recent win) and may face pace pressure.
6. 7.00 Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Class 5)
(6f 20y / 6f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lipsink (7/4) | M Appleby | Jack Dace (5) |
| 2 | Justcallmepete (5/2) | A Carroll | Dougie Costello |
Recent Form and Comments
- Lipsink (8yo): A resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts, including a courageous success at Catterick last Saturday. He is only 2lb higher back on AW and is seen as a big player in his hat-trick bid. RPR Master is 87.
- Justcallmepete (6yo): Six of his seven career wins have been on AW. Although his last win was 13 months ago, he has finished runner-up in two of his last three starts, including a close call at Windsor. He remains well handicapped on old form and is respected back on Tapeta. RPR Master is 86.
Spotlight Verdict
It is suggested to stick with the resurgent LIPSINK, who has won three of his last five starts and is only 2lb higher than his recent success. Justcallmepete, who went close recently and has a strong AW record, is strongly respected.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3yo 1-0-1, 4yo+ 0-2-9.
- Fate of Favourites: Not available in the sources.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): M Appleby has a 44% run-to-form rate. A Carroll has a 59% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Lipsink (Strengths/Suitability): Excellent current form (3 wins from 5). Only a small weight rise (2lb) for his most recent win and is proven on AW.
- Lipsink (Weakness): Running quickly following his win last Saturday.
- Justcallmepete (Strengths/Suitability): Has a high percentage of wins on AW (6/7) and is well handicapped on old form. Recent placed form on turf suggests readiness for the AW return.
- Justcallmepete (Weakness): Has been winless for 13 months.
7. 7.30 Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Class 5)
(1m 4f 51y / 1m 4f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meet Me In Meraki (7/4) | P D Evans | Jack Callan (5) |
| 2 | Veraison (3/1) | Dr R Newland & J Insole | Hollie Doyle |
Recent Form and Comments
- Meet Me In Meraki (4yo): Scored comfortably over C&D last Monday, completing an October double. He is unexposed at this 1m 4f trip, and the 5lb penalty is offset by Jack Callan’s useful claim. Commands respect. RPR Master is 75.
- Veraison (3yo): Has benefited significantly from the removal of her tongue-tie, with her recent form figures without it being 7411. She recently won at Kempton (1m 3f) and may have more to offer being upped further in distance. She is a major contender. RPR Master is 74.
Spotlight Verdict
VERAISON is preferred, due to her progressive record when not wearing a tongue-tie, and she is taken to follow up her Kempton win. Meet Me In Meraki commands respect in his current form.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3yo 0-1-5, 4yo+ 1-1-6.
- Fate of Favourites: Not available in the sources.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): P D Evans has a 50% run-to-form rate. Dr R Newland & J Insole have a 30% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Meet Me In Meraki (Strengths/Suitability): In peak current form (double winner in October). Unexposed over 1m 4f. Jockey claim mitigates the penalty.
- Meet Me In Meraki (Weakness): His wins have been in Class 6 and he is now stepping back up to Class 5. Running quickly after his recent win.
- Veraison (Strengths/Suitability): Highly progressive recent form when racing without the tongue-tie. She should appreciate the further step up in trip.
- Veraison (Weakness): Form is conditional upon headgear usage.
8. 8.00 Create Your Bet Builders At Midnite Handicap (Class 5)
(1m 1f 104y / 1m 1 1/2f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Serious Look (4/1) | T Faulkner | Dougie Costello |
| 2 | Youarenotforgiven (12/1) | A Carroll | Marco Ghiani |
Recent Form and Comments
- Serious Look (5yo): Has secured three C&D wins this year, the most recent being from off the pace in an amateur riders’ race three weeks ago. He is 4lb higher tonight, and this contest may not pan out as favourably for his running style. RPR Master is 83.
- Youarenotforgiven (7yo): Has been inconsistent this season. He was a very convincing C&D winner off a much reduced mark in September. He ran creditably in a valuable series final at Nottingham recently. He is one to consider. RPR Master is 82.
Spotlight Verdict
This looks favorable for KING’S HAND (not rated in the TimeWise Top Two), who showed significant scope when finishing second over C&D on his recent seasonal/handicap debut. Improving filly Flaine is also highlighted. Youarenotforgiven, also a recent C&D winner, is next on the list.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: Runners are 3yo+.
- Fate of Favourites: The fate of the favourites in the 8.30 race is 00404, statistics for this specific race are not provided.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): T Faulkner has a 40% run-to-form rate. A Carroll has a 59% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Serious Look (Strengths/Suitability): C&D specialist with three wins here this year (RPR 83).
- Serious Look (Weakness): 4lb higher than last win, and his reliance on a strong pace scenario may hinder him here.
- Youarenotforgiven (Strengths/Suitability): Convincing C&D winner in September on a reduced mark (RPR 82). Showed competitive ability in a recent tougher race.
- Youarenotforgiven (Weakness): General inconsistency this season.
9. 8.30 Midnite, Building The Future Of Betting Handicap (Class 6)
(5f 21y / 5f, AW)
| Rank | Horse (Odds) | Trainer | Jockey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Outer Edge (9/2) | C Mason | Gina Mangan |
| 2 | Sam’s Xpress (11/4) | J & S Birkett | Dylan Hogan |
Recent Form and Comments
- Outer Edge (4yo): Won cosily on his first C&D attempt in April. Although he hasn’t progressed or equalled that form since, he is now back on the same mark and possesses the ability to run well.
- Sam’s Xpress (5yo): Speedy type who won three times on AW in Ireland (5f/6f). He won a Chelmsford classified (5f) in August by making all the running. He is up 8lb and lacks experience on Tapeta, but has won after a break previously and could be hard to peg back.
Spotlight Verdict
SAM’S XPRESS is worth chancing, as he looked superior to classified level when setting a brisk pace to win at Chelmsford recently. Alafdhal is preferred for second place.
Race Statistics
- Age Groups: 3yo 2-3-21, 4yo+ 3-7-25.
- Fate of Favourites: The fate of the favourites is 00404.
- Trainer Records (Last 14 Days): C Mason has a 50% run-to-form rate. J & S Birkett have a 67% run-to-form rate.
Assessment of Top Two Chances
- Outer Edge (Strengths/Suitability): Proven C&D winner. Now back on his last winning mark.
- Outer Edge (Weakness): Has been disappointing since his April win and has not progressed.
- Sam’s Xpress (Strengths/Suitability): Strong AW sprinter (3 wins in Ireland). Possesses excellent gate speed (made all at Chelmsford). The trainer has a high 67% run-to-form rate.
- Sam’s Xpress (Weakness): Significant weight rise (up 8lb). Lacks Tapeta experience and is returning from a break.
