9:00 Wolverhampton Tips

Veteran, who returned from 15 months off the track with a really solid course and distance 3rd in March, produced a similar level of form at Chelmsford last time. Something similar this evening should see him bang there once again.

Swiss Ace looks like he could bounce back now returning to his optimum conditions ??' 7 furlongs on the all-weather. His recent runs have come under less-than-ideal circumstances, either on turf or over varying trips, which have kept his mark trending downward. Now rated 67, he’s a full 10lbs below his last winning mark of 77, offering real value on past form. Last time out, he hinted at a return to form, shaping better than the result suggested ??' a sign that he’s coming to the boil at just the right time. Back over his favoured trip and surface, he takes on weaker opposition here and should get a good toe into the race with an even pace expected. Harry Davies (14% strike rate at Wolverhampton) is a positive jockey booking, and trainer Ruth Carr has a solid 12% strike rate at the track. With conditions finally in his favour, Swiss Ace could easily outrun his current mark. Good luck! ???'?

I'm backing Sustained in the 21:00 at Wolverhampton. This 4-year-old gelding, trained by Daniel & Claire Kubler, has shown promise in his early career. Notably, he secured a victory at Wolverhampton over 1m 1f in June 2024, demonstrating his ability to handle the Tapeta surface. His pedigree, being by Inns Of Court out of Pearly Brooks, suggests he possesses both speed and stamina. Returning to a Class 5 handicap over 1m 142y after a break, a distance he's proven over, could play to his strengths. With Richard Kingscote taking the ride, the partnership could prove advantageous. Given his past performances and the conditions of the race, Sustained presents a solid each-way opportunity in this contest
