We have a busy day’s racing on Monday with all-weather action from Wolverhampton, live on Sky Sports Racing.
7.30 Wolverhampton – Layla Liz takes on seven rivals
The feature is the Read Meg Nicholls’ Blog At betmgm.co.uk Fillies’ Handicap, with eight to post and top-rated Layla Liz heading the line.
Layla Liz has raced just four times, winning twice, and was last seen finishing a close second on handicap debut in February last year. She remains unexposed and has a leading chance despite the long absence.

Nad Alshiba Green is second-highest rated and without a win since June, but she arrives after a recent yard change to Clive Cox from Michael Appleby, which could revive her form.
Previous winner Moe’s Legacy is up three pounds after a comfortable success at Wolverhampton eight days ago and looks a strong contender to follow up.
6.30 Wolverhampton – Al Durry makes handicap debut
Top-rated Al Durry tackles her first handicap in the Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap.
Owen Burrows fields just his third runner of the year as he aims to kickstart his flat season. Al Durry won at Southwell in October for Shadwell and has since been bought by Strawberry Fields Stud, who appear to have a useful filly on their hands.
More exposed previous winners Lordsbridge Blu and Serious Look arrive in form and, while less unexposed than Al Durry, cannot be discounted.
7.00 Wolverhampton – Bergamo Gold chases hat-trick
In-form Bergamo Gold seeks a quick-fire hat-trick in the Daily Profit Boosts At betmgm.co.uk Handicap with Jason Hart booked.
She opened her account earlier this month and followed up eight days later, defying a six-pound rise. Another three-pound penalty today still leaves her lightly raced with only seven runs, so further progress is possible.
James Owen’s Causing Problems has been gelded and could improve; otherwise the field looks open.
Best of the rest
6.00 Wolverhampton – Class Four maiden featuring runners for Richard Hannon and Ed Walker.
8.30 Wolverhampton – Captain Pickles bids to defy a three-pound rise.
