4:25 Wolverhampton Tips

Runner-up over course and distance last time out, beaten only by a subsequent winner. Runs off the same mark here and has a perfect draw.

Debut run here last time out back in September resulted in a close 2nd following a new yard change. Up just two pounds here and has a form jockey on board for this run.

This horse last won over course and distance in November off 2 lb higher than today. Not so good since, but a few of those runs were over an inadequate 5f trip. A lower draw would have been preferable, but I do rate jockey Mason Paetel, especially in this apprentice handicap. Blinkers are back on, so worth an each-way bet.

A strong and durable 8-year-old, known for his prowess on AW. Even though he hasn't shown the same level of form since his last win over this C&D in December when he was 1 lb lighter, he has proven he can bounce back. After experiencing a significant winning drought, he has managed to secure victories. He may face difficulties against faster, younger opponents in smaller races, but his true potential shines in larger, competitive races, presenting great value each-way at favourable odds.

Classy Clarets has tumbled down the ratings since his last win in May last year when he won off a mark of 58 here when trained by Alice Haynes. Ian Jardine now trains him and his mark is down to 50 after four runs, and Cara Tuke takes another 5 lb apprentice allowance off. Back on a tight-turning track, he could do very well.
