Listed Lady Wulfruna Stakes Guide 2023

Experienced eight-year-old with 14 wins from 42 career runs, including at this course over 5f, which is his only outing at this track.

The gelding arrives here in pretty good form, having won three of his last six runs at Dundalk, sandwiched by third and fourth (twice) finishes at Dundalk and Lingfield in between.

James Doyle is booked to ride here and Harry’s Bar must be considered, having won by just under two lengths on his last outing at 8/11 favourite, edging out 6/5 shot San Andreas.

We last saw Jump The Gun 161 days ago at Redcar, where he finished fourth in a class one listed event over 7f which followed a second-place finish in a class three at Ayr in September last year.

The six-year-old’s last victory came in June last year, winning a class four at Doncaster, beating Pure Dreamer by three quarters of a length.

His form has been patchy throughout his career and this is a tougher ask of his credentials, hence his price in the market.

Six-year-old who won this race back in March 2022 at 8/1, beating 11/4fav Happy Power by three quarters of a length. Followed that with second in the Listed contest at Kempton in November before a below-par fifth at this course in December.

He was fourth of five 51 days ago at Kempton in January and comes with credibility having triumphed here last year and cannot be dismissed.

Five-year-old mare who has had 11 runs since her last win in 2021, at Ascot in a group three contest over 6f. Has since been tried in France and England without coming too close to another victory, however ran well to claim second in a class two race at Lingfield 21 days ago, where Aramis Grey won by three quarters of a length.

She’s struggled a bit since that win in 2021 and seems hard to see her winning here on the back of her recent form, despite that last run. Others boast better form.

Experienced six-year-old who makes her first notable step onto English soil having been run in Ireland since her debut in 2020.

She comes to Wolverhampton in decent form, winning four of her last ten races throughout 2022/23. Her last victory came in a handicap contest at Dundalk in January over 6f which was followed by a fourth-place finish at the same course over 7f 38 days ago.

This is her tapeta debut and it is slightly hard to predict how substantial her form is making her debut in this company, but she’s respected on those runs.

Off seven months following fourth of four in the Group Three Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury last August, finishing four lengths behind winner Tempus when priced at 6/1.

That followed a disappointing sixth of seven in Group Three Thoroughbred Stakes at Goodwood the previous month at 11/4 and his last win was in 2021 at Royal Ascot in a group two.

He shouldn’t be ruled out but needs to find more based on last year’s form and Oisin Murphy is booked to ride so not discounted.

Smart four-year-old who returns after a 227-day break following fifth in the Group One Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July last year, where 1/6 favourite Baaeed and Jim Crowley edged out Modern Games and William Buick.

This colt is a winner of a group two at Goodwood and a group one at ParisLongchamp and is expected to be right in the mix for victory on tapeta debut.

Lightly raced four-year-old for John & Thady Gosden who had just the two runs in 2022, winning a class two handicap at Lingfield in October and finishing last of four in a listed class one event at Kempton in November, won by The Wizard Of Eye.

This is also his tapeta debut and must enter the reckoning given he has run well in decent company in his short career so far.
