Wolverhampton Race 2 - Racing League Race 9 Handicap
LOVING APPRENTICE (11) impressed with a dominant 5L win at Lingfield over 1200m. In form and holds leading claims. MIRACULOUS (1) scored at Chester most recently. Boasts a solid record tackling the trip. Big chance. LEADENHALL STREET (3) was below par at Newmarket finishing twelfth attempting 1200m. Previous win at Kempton reads well. Might bounce back. PETER THE WOLF (10) cannot be discounted. Something for the Multiples: CAYMAN TAI (9)

The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Newmarket (July) on June 26 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Another Abbot with 61.5kg at $10. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 13 at Ascot on July 11 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Mums Tipple carrying 59kg at $13. The start before that eased back early on 4th of 7 at Newmarket (July) on June 21 over 1200m, 4 len behind Circe with 61kg at $8. Should be at his top now and is in the mix.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 5 len win at Lingfield July 22 over 1200m defeating Havana Gila carrying 61kg at $3.30. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Ayr on July 7 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Inanna carrying 59.5kg at $12. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
