1:27 Wolverhampton Tips

Eupator is a gelding rated 70 who has already shown he can be competitive off this mark. Notably, he finished second in an all-weather handicap over today’s trip after travelling well and being beaten by under two lengths, and again when running third over the same distance, having stayed on strongly late. Those runs confirm he handles the surface and trip and that today’s rating is workable. His better efforts have come when settled early and delivered late off a solid pace. With conditions again matching those performances, there are clear reasons to expect him to run to form and be involved in the finish.

R P McMurphy won here over track and trip last time just a week ago and returns to a higher class. The momentum and lots of boxes tick in his favour to carry the day once again.

Study Up, I don't think we have seen the best of this horse, was slow away at Windsor from a wide draw over 6f. Picked up nicely from rear to finish 3rd. His run after that 3rd at Windsor, he raced at today's course Wolverhampton, finishing 9th when always in rear. Study Up's first run of 2026 was at Kempton when he was very keen early on, and did not settle for jockey Finley Marsh. Been put down 4lbs now in the weights now, in a race which looks a nice ew bet, especially with Billy Loughnane on aboard.
