Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Macanudo gets the nod in a tight Class 6 sprint at Wolverhampton, sharing the top rating of 63 and sitting a pound or so clear of the chasing pack. Kiss Don't Tell is the biggest threat on the same figure, while La Belle Forest, a pound behind, and Gustav Graves, two behind, both sit within easy reach if things fall their way. With only a few pounds covering the leading six, this looks a competitive heat, but Macanudo's rating gives him as good a claim as any at the weights over the five-furlong trip. Macanudo is our selection.
Runners
Billy Loughnane
Ian Williams 1/23
Macanudo arrives in cracking form, third last time out after back-to-back wins two and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating makes him the one to beat, with only the trainer's quiet spell a minor concern.

Luke Morris
Archie Watson 1/14
La Belle Forest has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 62 ranks her third of nine, so she looks a live threat from stall 2 after 35 days off. The risk is a winless run in her last six starts, with nothing better than a fourth three starts back.

George Wood
Derek Shaw 0/5
Gustav Graves is yet to win in his last six starts, but a second four starts back and a third three starts back show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our 61 ranking fourth of nine backs the case; the main risk is a 204-day absence after an eighth last time out.

Darragh Keenan
Michael Keady 0/13
Our Planet is winless in his last five, with a seventh last time out and three sixths before that, so consistency is there but not the finishing kick. He has run over today's trip and going and is back after 14 days, though 131 lb from stall seven leaves little margin.

Nick Littmoden 0/1
Kiss Don't Tell showed a second four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 63 ranks her second of nine from stall six. The risk is a poor recent book, with an eighth last time out and 53 days off, and she is yet to win in her last five.

Hope Regan (7)
Mark Loughnane 2/14
In Denial is winless in her last six, with a fifth last time out and a third three starts back her best recent efforts, and she returns after 120 days off, so fitness is a question. She has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 128 lb from stall three, she is hard to fancy at seventh of nine on our figures.

Winless in his last five, The Bear of Saints is hard to fancy, though he was third last time out and has run over today's trip. A seventh two starts back and a 30-day break temper that, and he carries 128 lb from stall five, ranked eighth of nine on our figures.

Cabeza de Llave has been consistent without cracking it, finishing fourth in each of his last two and fifth before that, and he has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in his last six, he's rated 60 by us, sixth of nine, so it's a midfield role from stall one off 122 lb.

Scott Dixon 1/37
Lochaber is winless in his last five, unplaced in each of his last three, with a pair of fifths before that, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over this trip and on this going and returns after 21 days, but our rating ranks him last of nine.
