Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Past Passion heads our ratings on 75, narrowly ahead of Mollisha on 73, and that top rating is the best reason to side with her in a Class 6 sprint at Wolverhampton. The gap to the dangers is small but real, with Cavan Lady on 70 and Calef on 69 also sitting within a few pounds, so this is no walkover. Even so, Past Passion looks the one to beat in an 11-runner field where the ratings tail off only gradually below the leading group. Past Passion is our selection.

Penny Capri has slipped since a win four starts back, finishing a seventh last time out, and she turns out quickly after just five days. She has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 67 ranks her sixth of 11, but 135 lb from stall 10 offers little help.

Quick back-up after 11 days, Mollisha has run over today's trip and on this going, and a third four starts back shows she can get involved; our rating of 73 ranks her second of 11, well clear of her official 65. The risk is two straight seventh-place finishes, and she carries 135 lb from stall 8.

Cavan Lady arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third two starts back, and she's fit after just 17 days; she has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 70 ranks her third of 11, but 135 lb is the main risk.

Winless in her last four, Havana Grey Star was fourth last time out and also fourth four starts back, so she is consistent enough, but 123 days off is a concern. She has run over today's trip and our rating of 68 sits above her official 64, though 134 lb from stall 11 is no gift.

Calef arrives fresh after 33 days off, having run over today's trip and on this going before, and a third two starts back shows she can get involved; our rating of 69 ranks her fourth of 11. The risk is a sixth last time out, leaving her yet to win in her last six starts.

Past Passion is consistent, finishing fourth last time out and third two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 75, she's yet to win in her last six, though a 34-day break is her one query.

Agent Rose is hard to fancy, having finished ninth last time out, a ninth two starts back and a seventh four starts back, so she is winless in her last four. She has run over today's trip and returns after 24 days, but 129 lb from stall 2 is a big ask on our ninth-ranked figures.

Ricky's Rocket has run over today's trip and going but is winless in his last three, finishing eighth last time out, with a fifth two starts back, and he returns after 16 days. Our rating of 61 ranks him eighth of 11, so he looks a midfield type carrying 128 lb from draw 7.

William Carson
Adam Kirby 2/12
Fancied Angel is winless in her last three, with an unplaced effort last time out following a sixth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, though she's fresh enough after 20 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 66 puts her seventh of 11, so she looks a midfield sort off 127 lb from stall three.
