Going news, market movers and July festival pointers
Wonderful Wolverhampton. The all-weather venue hosts a hastily convened meeting after 295 entries for Tuesday's fixture prompted the BHA to react quickly and authorise an overflow card. The result of three oversubscribed contests being transferred has produced an eight-race card with two of the races divided three times.
If the Tapeta isn't your cup of tea there is plenty of choice with the jumpers at Worcester and a Flat card at Ayr, plus evening meetings at Ripon, Roscommon and Windsor.

Final thought
After Roaring Lion's Eclipse success set up England's quarter-final win at the World Cup, bookies might be running scared of names that punters could jump on ahead of Wednesday's semi-final. There are plenty today with three at Worcester in The Last But One (2.20), Reason To Believe (4.25) and Excellent Team (5.30). Let's hope none of them falls at the second-last obstacle!
