8:00 Wolverhampton Tips

Consistent filly with three AW placings and solid handicap record. Trainer in form, effective over a mile, and ran to mark last time. Frame contender in modest 3YO company.

Echo Of Glory is a strong traveller who often races handily and gives his running. He did too much too soon when beaten favorite at Beverley but remains a consistent type who stays 8f to 10f well. From a good position, he should get a smooth run, and if ridden with a little more patience, he looks capable of bouncing back and fighting out the finish.

A race that appeals from an each-way angle with the filly Suzuka taking up a big share of the market. She was beaten off a mark of 61 last time and doesn't look that well treated. Jamie Osborne's sole representative at the meeting is of interest off a sliding handicap mark. He perhaps found the ground too fast at Bath last time and was well held at that undulating course. He was second on the all-weather at Chelmsford in August when rated 63 (now five pounds lower). He is plenty fit enough and may put up an improved performance tonight. Class-dropping Lord Capulet would also be of interest were Kevin Ryan's yard in better form.

Keep Talking is a keen-going filly who tends to race prominently, and she did plenty early when beaten 3 lengths here last time. She is best over 7 furlongs on a sound surface and should be seen to good effect if able to settle better. From her current mark, she needs a bit more, but she has the speed to stay in touch and could hang on for a place with a well-judged ride.

Blue Point Express got her first win by 1L at 7f off a 48 on soft last month and only took on 3 lbs. But the latest run was pants on heavy, and I think she is worth a punt on this AW debut off a 50 EW.
