Artagnan and Gold Star Hero Set to Collide at Wolverhampton

Thursday's racing schedule is packed, with All-Weather events at Southwell and Wolverhampton broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. A highlight of the evening card at Wolverhampton is the Free Bets On attheraces.com Handicap, where Artagnan leads a field of six. Following a strong finish to the previous season, which included a win at Chelmsford and a third-place finish as the favorite, Artagnan has a strong claim in this 0-85 race under James Doyle. Gold Star Hero, trained by Michael Bell and ridden by Hector Crouch, is a significant contender. Bell has had a successful spring, and if Gold Star Hero can dominate from the front, it will be a strong performer. Queue Dos boasts an impressive record at Wolverhampton, with four wins from six starts, making it the best of the rest. At Southwell, a quality field of six is set for the Free Digital Racecard At Raceday-Ready.com Handicap, featuring Adjuvant and Carlton. Carlton, trained by James Owen, is a proven all-weather competitor who last won over hurdles at Huntingdon and now switches to the flat, where he could excel, especially with the step up to two miles. Adjuvant, who has a higher rating from the past, was last seen finishing down the field in the November handicap at Doncaster but now faces an easier task in his second all-weather start. Imperial Sovereign is consistent, while Senor Cortez is noteworthy on his second run for trainer John Butler. For the latest in racing news, interviews, and features, find out more on your phone. The Download The Racecourse App Raceday Ready Handicap at 4.55pm is headlined by Tilted Kilt and Down To The Kid. Down To The Kid, last year's winner, showed strong form behind Legal Reform in his last race and looks ready to perform well as he drops down in grade. Tilted Kilt, having not won since his debut in 2024, has dropped to a useful mark and, if fit, poses a significant threat. Star Studied, despite disappointing as a favorite at Wolverhampton, gets another chance, while Eldrickjones cannot be ruled out based on his winter performances. Other notable races include Naana's Crystal bidding to follow up her Southwell success at 8.30 Wolverhampton, Youarenotforgiven aiming for a hat-trick at 7.00 Wolverhampton, and Astrological fancied for Marco Botti and Hollie Doyle at 6.00 Wolverhampton.
