Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Harry The Rogue heads our ratings on 73, five pounds better than Sant Alessio and Dappled Light on 68, and that is a worthwhile edge in a Class 6 over a mile on the Wolverhampton all-weather. He looks the one to beat on figures in a field of ten. Sant Alessio and Dappled Light are the main dangers, with Symphony of Joy a further pound back on 67 and also needing to be respected. Harry The Rogue gets the vote.

Harry The Rogue is our top-rated runner despite being winless in his last six, with two ninth-place finishes most recently, and he's fresh from a 14-day break. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 73 clear of the field at the top of the list makes him the one to beat from draw 3, though 142 lb is a stiff burden.

Sant Alessio comes here fresh from a fourth last time out 22 days ago, has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 68 ranks him second of ten, above his official 64. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last five starts, with a seventh and an eighth in that run.

Ben Pollard (5)
Kevin & Lauren Frost 0/20
Third last time out, and a fourth two starts back, show Symphony of Joy is running into some form, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 67 ranks him fourth of ten, but the main risk is a 58-day break and a yard 0/21 lately.

Adrian Wintle 1/13
Dappled Light has run over today's trip and going and, at 68 on our rating, ranks third of ten, with a second and a second four and five starts back showing he can get involved. The risk is his form tailing off lately, a ninth last time out following a seventh, off 139 lb from stall six.

Bajan Bandit arrives in cracking nick, second last time out and third two starts back, with a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Back in just seven days and carrying 138 lb from draw 2, he looks a solid sort, though our rating of 66 has him only fifth of ten.

Cara Tuke
Richard & Peter Fahey 3/36
Beaten in each of his last six starts, with a ninth last time out and a seventh and eighth before that, he is winless in recent form, though he has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days. Our rating of 63 sits three pounds above his official 60, but 133 lb from draw 9 is a stiff ask.

Yet to win in his last five, Eighty Eight posted back-to-back thirds before a ninth last time out, and has run over today's trip and going, but a 228-day absence and 129 lb from stall eight leave questions; our rating of 63 ranks him seventh of ten.

Venturing is winless in his last five, with a fourth last time out, a seventh two starts back and an eighth three starts back, and he returns after 36 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but ranked ninth of ten on our figures, he is hard to fancy from stall 1 off 128 lb.
