7:30 Wolverhampton Tips

Kept on but didn’t reach the leaders over this trip in a Class 2 at Chelmsford 16 days ago. The ease in grade to Class 4 appeals and he will improve for that recent run following a 158 day break.

Course and distance winner who was last seen at Southwell 17 days ago where finishing a creditable 4th/11 currently operating on a very handy mark of 79 R M H Cowell's inmate looks poised to strike here especially having found a suitable class 4 handicap to engage in worth noting he is now operating 4lb below his last winning mark here the visor is applied for the first time here and it can have the desired effect jockey J Mitchell takes the ride and can give Almaty Star a promising ride here at Wolverhampton must enter calculations

Paul Midgley and Billy Loughnane's American Bay showing clear intent from the yard with that jockey booking. Coming into the race off a mark of 77, six pounds lower than his peak rating last season. Includes a win at Thirsk off just four pounds lower mark. Previous winner over five furlongs and proven on the all-weather track. The race is expected to have a fierce early pace. If American Bay can settle early, his seven-furlong experience can make the difference late on given his stamina profile. Expect a huge run and a win.

Another regular at Wolverhampton who rarely runs a bad race at this course, winning 2 of its last 6 C/D runs and making the frame in all the others. Looks a good each-way value.

TheCoffeePod.co clocked a solid 75 in his last victory. His current form puts him just 4 lbs behind the race favorite, giving him a real mathematical chance. He's a natural sprinter who benefits from post position 1 (rail). He's expected to try to take the lead right away. With other frontrunners in the race, such as Almaty Star, the early pace will be very high (strong early pace), which will test his stamina in the final 100 meters. He moves up from Class 5 to Class 4. Although it's a step up, the horse is in good form, and his official rating of 68 still seems to have room for improvement against more experienced but more exposed horses. His recent record is impeccable: two wins and three placings in his last six starts. His last race (a 4th place very close to the leaders) suggests that he has not lost his form and that the return to a track where he has already won is a determining factor.

Not beaten far in neither of last two races after a winning double including over C&D likely to run a big race again and could well make the frame
