Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Alfey Moon looks the pick of a tightly packed Wolverhampton seven-furlong contest, sitting just a pound behind the top-rated Hoosier on our figures but preferred for his progressive profile. With so little between the leading contenders, a horse on an upward curve is the one to side with, and he should be able to turn that narrow deficit around. Hoosier is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Enhancing and Moriarty Moon are both within a few pounds and cannot be dismissed in a competitive Class 6. Alfey Moon is our selection, though it is a low-confidence call in such an open race.

Charlie Fellowes 1/9
Maliqui is yet to win in his last three, with a eighth last time out following a second two starts back, though he returns after just 16 days and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 135 lb from draw 10, he looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 65 ranking him seventh of 12.

Stormy Winter is winless in his last three, finishing fifth twice and a fourth three starts back, and he returns after 47 days off. Our rating has him 11th of 12, though he has run over today's trip and drops in from a mark of 65 carrying 135 lb from stall 1.

Marcus Tregoning 2/8
Star Bayside Boy is hard to fancy, unplaced in her last two outings and ranked 12 of 12 on our figures, though she did win three starts back and has run over today's trip, while 135 lb from draw 7 asks plenty off an official mark of 65.

S. P. C. Woods 1/7
Caravel is winless in her last three, though a fourth last time out improved on two sevenths before it, and she has run over today's trip. An 82-day break and 134 lb are the question marks, while our rating of 69 sits above her official 64.

Alfey Moon is fit after a run just 13 days ago and has run over today's trip, with fourths two and three starts back suggesting he's not far off, though he was seventh last time. Our figures of 73 against an official 63 make him our pick from draw nine.

Hoosier arrives fit after 14 days, with a fourth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and she has run over today's distance and going before. Our rating of 74 ranks her top of 12 against an official 62, but she is yet to win in her last three starts, which is the main risk.

Lushill is yet to win in her last six starts but has hit the frame three times in that spell, including a second five starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. Sixth last time and 38 days off hold her back, though our rating of 66 puts her sixth of twelve from stall four.

Hugo Palmer 5/31
Enhancing has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 71 ranks her third of 12, well clear of her official 59, so she looks a leading threat off a 21-day break from draw 6. The risk is a form line of seventh, sixth, fourth and eighth, with her yet to win in her last four starts.

Jonathan Portman 2/21
Better Nature is winless in his last six, with fifths last time out and two starts back, and a sixth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy at 128 lb from stall eight. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going, and a second four starts back shows some ability.

Sacred Rhythm is hard to fancy, having been beaten in all three recent starts and fading to an eighth last time after a fifth and a fourth before that. She has run on today's going and returns after 17 days, but our ninth-of-twelve ranking says plenty.

Sean Dylan Bowen
Ollie Sangster 4/18
Sovereign Beach is yet to win in her last six, though a third four starts back and a fourth three starts back show she can sit closer, and she has run over today's trip and going. Unplaced last time 32 days ago and carrying 126 lb from stall 12, she looks a midfield type.
