Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Cayman Tai looks the one to side with in this tight Wolverhampton six-furlong contest, as his progressive profile is the sort that can overturn a narrow rating deficit. He is only four pounds behind the top-rated Methgal on our figures, and that gap looks well within reach for a horse still on the upgrade. Methgal is the chief danger as the highest-rated runner, while Willolarupi and Intervention, both on 70, sit just two pounds behind our pick and cannot be dismissed in a competitive Class 5 field. Cayman Tai is the selection.

Methgal arrives in cracking form, third last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, with just 11 days since that latest run. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 76 tops the field, though 135 lb from stall eight is the main burden.

Richard Hannon 3/36
Cayman Tai arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third two starts back, just 17 days ago, so he looks fresh and in form, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 135 lb from draw 3, he is our pick on overall profile, though the earlier form is patchy.

James Evans 0/3
Landlordtothestars won last time out but that followed a seventh and a ninth, and he returns after 94 days off, so fitness is a question. He has run over today's trip and going, carries 134 lb from stall one, and our rating of 66 ranks him sixth of eight.

Early Release has finished eighth, sixth and fifth in his last three, a slide that makes him hard to fancy, though he did win four starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Fitness is fine after 21 days, but our rating of 65 ranks him seventh of eight.

Willolarupi is yet to win in his last five starts but has been thereabouts, a second two starts back and a third five starts back, and he's fresh from a 13-day break having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating ranks him third of eight, though last time's eighth is the main risk.

Jason Watson
Michael Appleby 5/24
Way To Dubai was third last time out and a fourth two starts back, so he arrives in decent shape on form, and he has run over today's trip and going before; yet he is winless in his last six and returns after 87 days off. Our rating of 70 puts him fifth of eight, so he looks a midfield type from stall two.

Michael Appleby 5/24
Intervention looks a leading danger, with a third two starts back, 27 days since his last run and experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 70 ranks him fourth of eight against an official 61. The main risk is that he is winless in his last six and unplaced last time out.

John David Riches 0/1
Good Karma is yet to win in his last six starts, and a sixth last time out after a run of thirds does little to help, though he has run over today's trip and going and was second six starts back. Ranked last of eight on our figures, he is hard to fancy from stall four off 125 lb.
