Lucky 15 for Saturday 9th December
We've got four tips from Wolverhampton in a Lucky 15 on Saturday night
A £1 Lucky 15 would return £599
Island Of Skye
Winner at Kempton last time out, wearing first time blinkers, which are left on here.
Gone up 4lb, but that’s fair, and comes here with an excellent chance to follow up.
Johnny James
Won first two starts at Catterick and Southwell before having time off the track.
Returned from three months off last time out, running second over C&D, could still have more to come with few miles on the clock, and can go well here.
Vaguely Royal
Up 3lb for winning at Newcastle last time out, his first run on the AW.
I think there’s more improvement to come on this surface, and he’s not ran too much anyway, so still on the up, enough for him to defy the latest rise.
Haku
Won over C&D last season, and comes here on the back of what was a nice run at Kempton.
Finished fifth that day, in what was a slightly better race, return here and a drop in quality, and he should go close.
We’ve also highlighted two betting angles to help with your Wolverhampton bets.
Patience is key
It’s rare that a horse makes all over 5 furlongs at Wolverhampton, with a tendency for the leaders to go too quick too early. A patient ride is required, so look for jockeys with plenty of track knowledge.
Low is a positive
Being drawn low is preferable over 5 furlongs, seven furlongs, and 1 mile due to the short run to the first turn. Horses can win from an outside draw, but they’ll have done it the hard way.
Top Wolverhampton Jockeys
Rossa Ryan is a jockey to keep on your side, showing a profit to level stakes over the last three seasons around Duntall Park.
James Doyle is another worth watching for - he’s operating at about a 25% strike rate at the track.
Top Wolverhampton Trainers
The racing at Wolverhampton is always competitive, meaning it can be tough for trainers to enjoy a high strike rate at the Midlands course.
It is worth watching out for Mick Appleby runners, though, as he shows a profit to level stakes with his runners at the track over the last three years.
Wolverhampton Free Bets & Betting Offers
A regular on Sky Sports Racing, Wolverhampton sees plenty of betting offers from the top UK bookmakers, eager to attract punters.

Punters looking for a generous welcome offer to use on the horse racing action at Wolverhampton should check out BetGoodwin, who also have some excellent ongoing promotions for customers.
Wolverhampton Racecourse Layout & Info
Wolverhampton Racecourse, also known as Dunstall Park, is located in Wolverhampton, England.
It has been an all-weather track since 2004 and was the first racecourse in the UK to be floodlit, and as of 2014, the surface has been Tapeta.
A flat oval, about a mile around, Wolverhampton is known to be a fair track - it doesn’t favour front-runners or hold up horses, and there is generally no track bias.
As mentioned, a low draw is preferred over 5 furlongs, seven furlongs, and 1 mile due to the short run to the first bend.

Wolverhampton Top Featured Races
As an all-weather tack, the racing at Wolverhampton is typically of a lower level with an emphasis on quantity over quality.
However, the track does host a Listed race - the Lady Wulfruna Stakes, which is scheduled to be held in March every year.
The 2023 Lady Wulfruna Stakes was won by Berkshire Shadow, ridden by Oisin Murphy.
