6:30 Wolverhampton Tips

Arlecchino's Rex stands out as the sectional pick for the 6:30 at Wolverhampton. Rated 2nd of 8 on sectional speed at 12.39 sec/f and also leads the course form figures.

Al Shabab is a moderate handicapper, but in classified races he demands the utmost respect. This race is for horses rated 0??'50, and our selection ran well in a 0??'55 handicap last time. It was a fair run in a non-classified race. Course specialist Rossa Ryan rides for David Evans, and a huge run is expected.

Man Is King won a race over 1m 2f and was third over 1m 4f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing earlier this month. Dropped in trip to 1m 1f, the surface should suit him and he could well be able to win this race.

Keeper of secrets ran a great race lto to be in the mix with horses rated in the high 50s where he was rated 45. He steps back into classified company now and the booking of Loughnane looks a sign on intent to get his first win. The drop in trip and cheekpieces added and with both jockey and yard doing well Keeper of secrets looks the play and worth taking on the well fancied Al Shabab.

Made some late headway over a mile when 6th of 11 at Southwell last time out. This step up in trip will suit and could go well at a decent price.
