Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Mae Amor heads our ratings at 82 and looks the right horse to side with in this 11-runner Wolverhampton 7f contest. She is two points clear of So Sassy on our ratings, a narrow but meaningful edge in a Class 5 where the leading contenders are tightly packed. So Sassy is the main danger, with Hilltop and Queue Dos also in the mix a little further back on 78 and 77, so this is far from a one-horse race. Still, Mae Amor has the strongest profile on our figures and gets the vote.

So Sassy comes here fresh from a second last time out, just 11 days ago, and a winner three starts back and again four starts back, while she has run over today's trip and on this going before. The risk is the 140 lb she carries from draw 5, with our rating of 80 ranking her second of 11.

Rebecca Menzies 1/17
Mae Amor is the one to beat: she was second two starts back and has been in the first four in four of her last six, while 11 days since her last run keeps her fit. She has run over today's trip and going before, and our 82 tops the field, though she is yet to win and carries 140 lb from stall 1.

Hilltop arrives in cracking order, a second last time out and in the first four in all six recent starts, with a fresh 21-day break and experience of today's trip and going; our rating of 78 sits above her official 74. The one risk is that she's yet to win, and 139 lb is a big burden.

Fifth last time out and a third three starts back, Queue Dos has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 77 puts her fourth of 11 from stall four, so she can't be ignored. The risk is a 115-day layoff, plus 139 lb and no win in her last five.

Velvet Rhythm arrives fresh from a third last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but she's yet to win in her last six starts. Carrying 137 lb from draw 2, she looks a solid yet unspectacular type.

Call Me Betty is hard to fancy, having finished unplaced last time out and a ninth two starts back, with her lone win six starts ago, though she has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after six days. Our rating has her ninth of eleven, and she carries 137 lb from stall three.

Souffler has finished seventh, sixth and sixth in her last three outings, which makes her hard to fancy, though she did win four starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 135 lb from draw 9, she is rated 10th of 11 on our figures.

Bright Summer is winless in her last six, with a fifth two starts back her best recent effort and an eighth last time out, though she has run over today's trip and going and returns after 27 days. Our rating of 74 sits above her official 70, but 133 lb from stall seven is a lot to carry.

Enola Grey is yet to win in her last six, with an eighth five starts back and a sixth two starts back the best of it, though she has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 76 sits above her official 66, but 31 days off and 131 lb from stall eight leave her a midfield type.

Egotistical has been consistent lately, with a fourth last time out, another fourth two starts back and a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. However, she has won just once in her last six, and 130 lb from stall 6 is a big ask, with our rating of 73 ranking her eighth of eleven.

Yet to win in her last six, Pilgrim's Progress bounced back with a second last time out just 13 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going, but a ninth and an eighth in that run make her hard to fancy. Our figures rank her last of eleven.
