Barron’s charge has plenty of Appeal at Wolverhampton

Twin Appeal can build on a very encouraging run last time out in the Bet & Watch At sunbets.co.uk Handicap at Wolverhampton.

David Barron’s seven-yearold was a fine third behind Von Blucher in a deeper race than he faces here and can get back to winning ways. He won over the seven furlongs at Dunstall Park, finishing second on his only other appearance in the Midlands. He went up 3lb for his win but showed his mark of 86 was not beyond him last time out, finishing in front of good yardsticks such as Heaven’s Guest and Bertiewhittle.

Madame Jo Jo is bred to be a good bit better than a 59-rated sprinter and there are signs she is finally getting it together ahead of the 32Red.com Handicap. Her dam was a sister to an American Grade Two winner and she is also related to Pirouette and Harmonic Way.

Trained by Sarah Hollinshead, she showed little of note at big prices in maidens before being beaten just over a length off a mark of 60 in her first nursery.

Having failed to build on that, it was pleasing to see her perform much better last time out when third of seven over this course and distance.

Now Children is a fascinating runner in the Betway Live Casino Handicap for Clive Cox.

Returning from an absence of over 500 days, he won two of his three races for trainer Iain Jardine as a juvenile but missed his whole threeyear-old season. A horse he beat twice, Euro Nightmare, is now rated 90 so a mark of 87, despite the absence, could be lenient.

Dragon Mall has surely been found a winning opportunity by David Simcock at Chelmsford’s extra meeting.

The toteplacepot race 1 to 6 Novice Stakes is the easiest assignment he has been given for some time, having run in Group races in the past.

He may have only won once but at least that victory came at this track and he has stacks in hand over his rivals.

Micky Hammond’s Caraline lost little in defeat at Wetherby and can add to her impressive win tally in the Smarkets Mares’ Handicap Chase at Carlisle.
