LONGEST TRAVELLERS: EMMA’S LETTER trained by E Dunlop, ANGELIC RASCAL trained by G Boughey, AR DIDDY DUM DUM trained by J Owen, all Newmarket, 125 miles.
ANGELIC RASCAL looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, considerately handled when midfield on her qualifying run at Kempton 6 weeks ago She earns the vote to take a step forward, with market confidence behind her significant. Newcastle scorer Emma’s Letter rates a big danger, ahead of Zipwire. 1-2-3:

HORSE AND 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.
