A one-mile novice stakes kicks things off at Wolverhampton at 4.30 on Tuesday afternoon with 12 runners tackling the trip. Muddy Mooy found only a well-touted newcomer too good when bidding to make it 2-2 back from 11 months off at Southwell in December, form which the winner did no harm when going close at Kempton next time. She gets the nod ahead of the Roger Varian-trained Sovereign Sea, who hasn't done anything wrong in his two starts so far and looks a big threat.

The second race on the card (5.00) is in division one of the class six classified stakes, where Marinakis has found his feet since returning from a three-month break and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his career tally for trainer Ian Williams, while division two of the same discipline (5.30) can go the way of Marvellous Lady, who failed to fire when a strong favourite on her first outing for James Owen but can be given another chance to show her excellent new trainer has turned her around with a visor added this time.

Twelve runners will take on the class five handicap over seven furlongs to mark the fourth race on Tuesday’s card (6.00) and City Cyclone, trained by Tony Carroll, can show he's still on a good mark now back at seven furlongs. Like the selection, Fools Rush In tasted success over course and distance last month and is second choice ahead of Starshiba, who hasn't had the rub of the green since resuming winning ways at Lingfield on New Year's Eve.

The vote goes to Kitty Foyle in race five (6.30) who landed a Goodwood handicap on her latest appearance on the Flat for the Daisy Hitchins yard and is appealing on the back of a highly creditable effort in a mares' listed novice hurdle at Taunton last month.

Division one of the class six handicap is the sixth race of the evening (7.00) and of the ten runners set to take on the seven furlong trip, Tantomile took a step forward when going agonisingly close at Newcastle recently, a race she probably would've won but for encountering traffic problems at a crucial stage so the four-year-old is taken to go one better here. 

Division two of the class six handicap is race seven on the card (7.30) and it is a tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for multiple course scorer Bungle Bay trained by James Evans,  who can race off the same mark as when a good second at Newcastle last time out. 

The penultimate contest of the evening (8.00) sees a field of 11 take on the short five furlong dash in class six and trainer Tony Carroll has his string in great nick so his Second Collection is fancied to build on her recent good Lingfield second and bag a fifth course victory at Wolverhampton. 

Finally, the meeting comes to a close at 8.30pm as nine horses aged four and older head to the start for the mile and a half handicap in class four. Wonder remains with few miles on the clock so James Fanshawe's four-year-old is fancied to build on his good second here last time out and bag a second course success. Course and distance winner Met Office is feared most ahead of fellow C&D scorer Sax Appeal.
