Monday 2 November 2026 ·13 runners KTB Selection: Daytona Lady · 61/100

This Class 6 handicap at Wolverhampton over 6f20y on standard ground brings together a field of 13 modest performers, several with previous experience at the venue. The KTB Fit Scores range from 61 down to 36, highlighting a race where recent form, course aptitude and the ability to handle a strong pace will be decisive. Daytona Lady heads the KTB rankings on 61 with three course wins to her name, while several others arrive in reasonable heart or with recent victories.

How the race shapes up

With two or more habitual front-runners present the pace shape is strong and confidence in that assessment is high. A Lott of Kane is likely to set the pace from stall 13, with Macarone, Geemann, March of Time and Megaphone all prominent or handy, ensuring an honest gallop that could leave the leaders vulnerable late on. This strongly favours hold-up performers such as Forever Glamorous, Sarafina Mshairi, Yaahobby and The Feminine Urge, who can pick up the pieces if the front end collapses.

The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Daytona Lady KTB Selection61/100

    Form 285364 · Ruth Carr · James Sullivan

    Daytona Lady is a modest performer who has won three times from 12 starts at this track and also has five wins from 48 starts at today's trip. She has shown consistent form on standard ground with five wins from 36 starts and arrives in reasonable order after a string of placed efforts. The trainer records a 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 879 runs while the jockey is on 7% from 1080 rides here, both figures in line with their records at other courses. Dropping in class from a mark of 60, she typically settles in midfield and should be suited by the strong pace that is anticipated. Her course record and familiarity with the surface give her a solid platform in a race where late closers are expected to be advantaged.

  2. 2Macarone56/100

    Form 251111 · Grace Harris · Ben Ffrench Davis(5)

    Macarone is a limited performer who has been in excellent heart of late, winning four of his last five starts. He has three wins from nine runs at Wolverhampton on standard ground where he also has a 4-13 record, and he has won five times from 16 starts at this trip. The trainer's 5% strike rate here from 276 runs is in line with their record elsewhere, as is the jockey's 4% from 27 rides. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, he is likely to be prominent in a race with a strong pace that could see the leaders come back to the field. From a mark of 59 he brings the best recent form in the field.

  3. 3Geemann56/100

    Form 334180 · Joe Tickle · Taylor Fisher

    Geemann is a limited performer who has shown little spark since a placed effort on this trip back in the spring. He has failed to fire in two runs since a break and was well held on his only previous visit to Wolverhampton. Both trainer and jockey record 10-11% strike rates here that sit in line with their figures elsewhere. Drawn in stall 1 he is likely to race prominently, which could be a mixed blessing given the strong pace that is forecast. From an official rating of 56 his recent form of 334180 offers limited encouragement.

  4. 4A Lott of Kane56/100

    Form 511412 · Chelsea Banham · Joey Haynes

    A Lott of Kane is a modest performer who has won three times here from six starts and holds a solid record on standard ground with four wins from 12 starts. He has won at this trip and brings strong recent form including two victories in the last four runs. The trainer records a 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 251 runs while the jockey is on 7% from 851 rides. Drawn widest of all in stall 13, he tends to make the running or race on the pace and is therefore sure to be in the vanguard of a race that looks strongly run. His course record makes him respected but the wide draw adds a layer of difficulty.

  5. 5Forever Glamorous55/100

    Form 235135 · Christopher Mason · Gina Mangan

    Forever Glamorous is a limited performer who has been in and out this year and is now stepping up from 5f to 6f. She has been placed twice at today's trip without winning and arrives in ordinary form. The trainer and jockey both operate at their ordinary level here while the horse has no experience of the surface. Usually held up and producing her effort late, she could be ideally suited by the strong pace that is likely to unfold. From a mark of 56 her recent form of 235135 is modest but the run-style fits the shape of the race.

  6. 6Sarafina Mshairi53/100

    Form 986400 · Edward Smyth-Osbourne · Ashley Lewis(3)

    Sarafina Mshairi is a limited performer who has won once here in five runs and also scored at this trip. Recent form has been poor with a string of lesser efforts and she now runs from a career-low mark. The trainer and jockey both operate at their ordinary level around here and she usually races held up.

  7. 7My Mate Kev53/100

    Form 277435 · Chris Dwyer · Jake Dickson(5)

    My Mate Kev is a limited performer who has shown bits of ability here without winning. Placed on both previous visits to Wolverhampton and stepping back up to a trip at which he has won twice from 14 starts, he drops in class. The trainer records a 13% strike rate at the track which is above his overall figure while the jockey has had too few rides here to judge.

  8. 8My Boy Jack52/100

    Form 440346 · Kevin & Lauren Frost · Matthew Lloyd Slater(7)

    My Boy Jack is a limited performer who has won once here from 11 runs and once at this trip from 30. Recent form of 440346 shows consistent but modest efforts and the official rating of 44 matches that level. The trainer records a 12% strike rate at the track while the jockey is on 6% here and he typically settles in midfield.

  9. 9Yaahobby48/100

    Form 649139 · Antony Brittain · Ethan Tindall(5)

    Yaahobby is a limited class performer who has won once from nine runs at this track and holds a solid record on standard going with four wins from 45 starts. He has won at today's trip though his overall strike rate at the distance is modest. The trainer holds a 9% strike rate here which is above his figure at other tracks while the jockey is operating at 11% at the course in line with his record elsewhere and he is usually held up.

  10. 10March of Time46/100

    Form 345282 · Jack Channon · Billy Loughnane

    Family: half-sister to Late Shipment (6 wins from 61 runs). The dam has had 7 other runners, 4 of them winners.

    March of Time is a modest performer who has shown placed form at this trip on two of his four attempts. He has already run once at Wolverhampton without placing and now steps up from 5f while drawn widest of all in stall 12 of 13. Half-sister to Late Shipment who won six times from 61 runs, the dam has had seven other runners of whom four were winners. The trainer operates at an 18% strike rate here while the jockey is even stronger on 20% and he tends to race on the pace.

  11. 11Megaphone44/100

    Form 409566 · Scott Dixon · Jack Dace(5)

    Megaphone is a limited performer who has won once in 11 starts at Wolverhampton but is 0-5 on this surface since March and has been beaten 10 lengths or more in four of his last five starts. He drops back to a trip he has won over yet his recent efforts suggest he is struggling to find his best form. The trainer and jockey both operate at their ordinary level here and he is usually prominent.

  12. 12The Feminine Urge41/100

    Form 265207 · Grace Harris · Callum Shepherd

    The Feminine Urge is a limited performer who has failed to win or place in three runs at this track and three starts on standard going. She has a win at today's trip but recent form has been ordinary and the overall record in this grade looks modest. The trainer's 5% strike rate here is in line with their record elsewhere while the jockey's 12% is also in line with his other tracks and she is usually held up.

  13. 13Cool Doc Boy36/100

    Form 7-6974 · Joey Ramsden · Taryn Langley(5)

    Cool Doc Boy is a modest performer who has shown little for the yard in three runs here, finishing no better than sixth. Placed once at this trip but that was on turf and the recent form figures offer no encouragement. The trainer and jockey both operate at a 4-7% strike rate at the track, in line with their figures elsewhere and he typically settles in midfield.

KTB verdict

Daytona Lady is the KTB Selection. A modest performer with three course wins from 12 starts and a solid record on standard ground, she arrives in reasonable order after a string of placed efforts and drops in class. Her ability to settle in midfield should be an advantage in a race with a strong pace that is expected to collapse late, allowing hold-up horses to come to the fore. The main dangers are Macarone, who has been in excellent heart with four wins from his last five starts and a strong record at the track, and A Lott of Kane, who brings solid recent form and three course victories but must overcome the wide draw from stall 13 while setting the pace.
