Sky Sports Racing: Monday's Highlights Feature Layla Liz at Wolverhampton
Monday brings a packed schedule of all-weather racing from Wolverhampton, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The day's main event is the Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At betmgm.co.uk Fillies' Handicap, featuring a field of eight, with Layla Liz at the forefront. Having only raced four times and secured two wins, Layla Liz hasn't competed since February last year, where she finished a commendable second on her handicap debut. The reason behind her absence is unclear, but she remains relatively untested and enters with a strong chance. Nad Alshiba Green, the second-highest rated, seeks to regain her winning form after a change in yards to Clive Cox from Michael Appleby. Moe's Legacy, a previous winner, faces a three-pound increase following her recent victory at Wolverhampton but demonstrated enough potential to suggest another win is possible. Top-rated Al Durry makes her handicap debut in the Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap, representing Owen Burrows, who aims to kickstart the new flat season. Following a win at Southwell in October, Al Durry has changed ownership to Strawberry Fields Stud and appears to be a promising contender. Previous winners Lordsbridge Blu and Serious Look are in form but may be more exposed than Al Durry. Bergamo Gold seeks a quick hat-trick in the Daily Profit Boosts At betmgm.co.uk Handicap, having secured two wins this month, and despite a three-pound rise, she remains lightly raced with potential for improvement. The James Owen-trained Causing Problems may show improvement after being gelded. Other notable races include the 6.00 Wolverhampton Class Four maiden, featuring Richard Hannon and Ed Walker, and the 8.30 Wolverhampton, where Captain Pickles attempts to defy a three-pound rise.
