6:30 Wolverhampton Tips

Has won its last 3 outings at this course. Two of them were over C/D, and I don't think it's done yet. It would be a brave person to back against this one. It should be in the frame at least, with four places on offer.

Mr Nugget returns to Wolverhampton in a Class 5 handicap over just shy of 1m1f, and his profile suggests he’s a solid player at this level. A dual all-weather winner last winter, including at this track, he has shown he can travel strongly into his races and finish off well when settled in midfield or just behind the pace. While he hasn’t managed to get his head in front this season, his recent efforts include a close second over a mile here where he kept on well in a steadily run race, hinting that this slightly longer trip could bring further improvement. He handles the surface, has tactical versatility, and tends to find under pressure, which gives him a dependable edge in a field where several rivals have less consistent profiles. If reproducing his previous form at the course, he has every chance of going close.

This horse won over course and distance in November off just 2 lb lower under the same jockey who rides today. Beaten by a neck LTO at Southwell and should once again be in the mix.

He has triumphed in several races around this trip. His most recent win was in December, winning by a slim margin in a Class 5 handicap. Throughout his career he has recorded eight victories, with a significant amount of his recent success at these intermediate middle-distance trips on AW. While he is proficient at this distance, his performance can be variable. He recently underperformed over this C&D, possibly due to changes in tactics. However, if he can return to his foundational strategies, an each-way bet at 11/1 looks poised to be profitable.

This is the trainer's only entry. He's out today and they have the same jockey on board. A good each-way bet for the four places available.

Has an each-way chance, having won round here previously. He is dropped a pound here, meaning he is a pound below his last winning mark.

One good run and one poor showing for Toralou so far this all-weather season. The good run came over this trip, and she's a pound lighter in the handicap now. The poor run last time out, again over course and distance, will need forgiving. She can't be ignored if she matches the standard of the run she showed here last November, and we've got an extra place to go at.
