8:30 Wolverhampton Tips

Given his sharp recent second at Bath nine days ago, a return to sprinting suits, and the chance to exploit a lower all-weather mark, he's a proven stayer over this course and distance and looks well placed off an OR 49 with conditions to his liking tonight.

Has a good record at Wolverhampton and has only been running into a place lately. A return to the all-weather could and should bring on some improvement.

Poor form in 2025 but is proven and effective on AW as demonstrated last year. Down in class and looking to replicate 2024 success.

Sisters In The Sky has won 4 and been placed 5 times from 32 all-weather starts and has won twice over today's course and distance. Each way chance.

Banana is a very experienced Acclaim mare with a low 4% strike rate from 48 runs. She ran fifth, beaten three and a half lengths off 51 last time when ridden positively. She is effective at 5f and 6f and acts on any ground. Joey Haynes rides for S. Dixon. She looks more of a place chance than a win, so going each way here.

Trainer Thomas Faulkner could save the best for last, having had a few good wins here. Selection not in good nick since returning but has been tumbling down the weights, so a gamble is taken on him.

Is getting on now, but retains enough ability @ this level. No show @ Windsor Lto, but is better known as a Bath specialist on the turf. Is a C/D winner, down to a basement mark of 45 here, good apprentice up taking off 5lb and very shrewd trainer best here with his 4yo plus last 5 seasons @ 10 percent, making current 25/1 decent Ew value in the race.

Lil Wade is chanced in the last at Wolverhampton. It's a low grade affair. Seven pounds claimer Jay Mackay has ridden winners and gets a chance to turn around the form on longstanding maiden Lil Wade. The 5yo ran second on second run back from a break over course and distance a year ago. Runs off basement mark of 45.
