18:15 Wolverhampton - William Hill Epic Boost Racing League Race 30 Handicap
David Loughnane's MOMAER was last seen competing at Chepstow in the Racing League and the four-year-old daughter of Belardo put up a bold effort off a new mark of 77 to finish a close third to Executive Decision. Second that day was Nordic Passage who came out and stormed to victory at Newcastle last week in the Racing League Week 4, so the form has been well and truly franked and off the same mark here she has to be a leading player. Top class youngster Billy Loughnane will take off a valuable 3lbs and having won on the all-weather at Lingfield earlier in her career she showed she can act on the surface. It looks a competitive betting heat for punters to work out, but Momaer looks a really solid option who looks open to more improvement.

19:45 Wolverhampton - William Hill Extra Place Races Daily Racing League Race 33 Handicap
It could prove to be a sparkling evening for David Loughnane as he can saddle another winner later on in the evening at 19:45, as ARCADIAN NIGHTS can storm to success in Race 33 of the Racing League. Another who was last seen competing at Chepstow, the five-year-old was seen finishing a fine second when just touched off in the closing stages and he can go one better here. He's been handed a 2lbs rise for that fine run, but he has winning form at Wolverhampton - having been victorious at the track off a mark of 77 back in April, so a return to the all-weather surface can see him storm back to winning ways.

20:15 Wolverhampton - William Hill Epic Value Racing League Race 34 Handicap
Sir Mark Prescott and Luke Morris can team up for glory in the penultimate race of the evening at 20:15 on Thursday as the in-form GLENISTER can bound to success and continue on a meteoric rise up the ratings. A winner last week, Glenister duly notched up a fourth win in five outings and having sparkled on the all-weather he can defy a 5lbs penalty by landing this prize. He was doing all his best work at the finish of last week's contest over 1m 4f 98y, so the step up to 1m 5f 219y should bring on some more improvement in this event. The likes of Percy Jones and Belgoprince were winners last time out and have to be respected, but Glenister makes most appeal in what should be a cracking contest.

20:45 Wolverhampton - William Hill Pick Your Places Racing League Race 35 Handicap
There's a hugely competitive finale at 20:45, but the standout one is Andrew Balding's CELTIC CHAMPION, who was a winner last time out he tackled the all-weather and looks to have the potential of going in again in Race 35 of the Racing League. A winner off a mark of 84 at Lingfield back in February, the lightly-raced son of Adaay was then last seen finishing in the mid-division in Newmarket after a six-month absence and he's sure to improve significantly for that run. He will run off 87 in Thursday's event and while he will need to improve on that Newmarket run he is likely to come on leaps and bounds and he could well get the better of the likes of Good Earth and Tiger Crusade, who were winners last time out.
