Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Lunella heads our ratings on 79, a clear six pounds ahead of Serious Look and Tortured Soul on 73, which is a meaningful edge in a Class 5 contest over ten furlongs at Wolverhampton. That superiority on our figures gives her the strongest case in a tightly packed field, where the next nine runners are separated by just five pounds. Serious Look and Tortured Soul are the main dangers, with Show Biz Kid close behind on 72, so this is far from a penalty-kick, and our confidence is low. Even so, Lunella is the one to side with.
Runners
Dylan Hogan
Julia & Shelley Birkett 1/6
Third last time out and a third three starts back, with a winner five starts back, make Show Biz Kid a leading danger, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with first-time blinkers to sharpen him up. The risk is a 66-day layoff, so fitness is the one question.

William Carson
John & Rhys Flint 0/6
Crimson Road won three of his last six, though his latest outings read a third last time out and a fourth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 140 lb from stall 7, he sits fifth of ten on our rating of 72, so he looks more solid than special.

Thomas Faulkner 0/5
Serious Look won five starts back and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 73 ranks him second of 10; the risk is a modest recent run of a seventh last time out and an eighth before, plus 52 days off.

Tony Carroll 1/40
Tortured Soul sits third of ten on our rating of 73, six pounds above his official mark of 67, and he has run over today's trip and going before, plus a second and third in his last six. The main risk is a dip to seventh last time out and a yard that is out of form at 1/40.

Ollie Sangster 1/24
Lunella arrives consistent, with a fourth last time out, a second two starts back and a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 79 makes her the one to beat, though 82 days off and a yard out of form temper things slightly.

Callum Shepherd
David Simcock 0/8
Caledonian has been consistent without cracking it, finishing fifth last time out, fifth two starts back and fourth three starts back, and he's yet to win in his last five. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 16 days, but 136 lb from draw nine is a lot to ask.

Billy Loughnane
Dr Richard Newland 0/6
The Anthony Gover arrives in fine heart, second last time out, third two starts back and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Against that, first-time cheekpieces are an unknown and 135 lb from draw 4 is a hefty burden, with our rating of 71 only sixth of ten.

Rob Hornby
Mark Loughnane 2/21
Study Up has improved to a fifth last time out after a ninth and an eighth, and his only win in the last six came five starts back, so he is hard to fancy. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, and the first-time tongue-tie adds a little intrigue.

Beaten into fifth last time out just ten days ago, Under The Sun has only the one win in his last six, four starts back, and our figures rank him last of ten. He has run over today's trip and going before, but 130 lb from stall 2 is a lot to ask.

Ibn Altheeb bounced back to win last time out, 21 days ago, but that came after a seventh and two unplaced runs, and he is ranked ninth of ten on our figures at 69 while carrying 130 lb from draw 8. First-time cheekpieces and experience of today's trip and going are the positives.
