2:05 Wolverhampton Tips

A course and distance winner on penultimate start and a beaten favourite over this trip in a Class 2 at Kempton last time out, third of nine. Remains on the same mark and drops back to Class 3 company.

I had the pleasure of seeing Silkie Wilkie in training a couple of years ago at Middleham. He was one of the main stars of that yard at the time. He was a bit below form last year, but he's won two of his last four starts on the all-weather. This race is competitive and his mark is edging back up, but there's every chance he will be on the premises. Each-way chance.

An outside play in this race would go to Badri who has done most of his best work over 6f, the 5f lto was too sharp lto and this should suit better. 2 places from 2 starts at Wolverhampton over 6f and 7f. Jason hart has a strike rate of 21% in the last 14 days and he's been in some strong battles over the line. I know there are some shorter prices that look appealing on recent form but im willing to play a point on some bigger value.

I am taking a chance here, but if Julie Camacho has got Vingegaard back to his previous form as a 2-year-old with Archie Watson, then he must have a decent chance. Has had a run over 5 furlongs, which is too short after a 501-day break for his new stable, so should be somewhere near.
