Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Percy Jones is our selection, and he heads the field on our figures at 73, two pounds ahead of Captain Cairney on 71. That is only a narrow edge, so this looks a competitive Class 5 over 14 furlongs at Wolverhampton rather than a race with a standout. Captain Cairney is the chief danger, with Fiefdom and That Darn Cantor, both on 66, best placed of the rest to pick up any slack. Percy Jones gets the nod as the top-rated runner, though confidence is low.

Billy Loughnane
Mark Loughnane 2/21
Percy Jones has been consistent, with a second and two thirds in his last six outings, and he returns after 20 days having run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 73 puts him top of the nine, though he is yet to win in that spell and a sixth last time out is the one blemish.

Ed Dunlop 1/20
That Darn Cantor arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second two starts back, and has run on today's going before, so he is firmly in the mix off a 21-day break. The main concern is a stable struggling for form, with just one winner from 20 in the last fortnight.

S. P. C. Woods 0/4
Fiefdom has finished fourth in each of his last two outings and has run on today's going before, so he looks a solid each-way type at 133 lb off an official mark of 68. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts and returns after 42 days off.

William Muir & Chris Grassick 0/15
Captain Cairney arrives in solid form, third last time out and a winner four and five starts back, fresh enough after 16 days and having run over today's trip and going. The main risk is the 133 lb he carries, with our rating of 71 ranking him second of nine.

Hollie Doyle
Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 4/24
Ottoman won three starts back and six starts back, but he unseated two runs ago and was only fourth last time out, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and 131 lb is no small burden, with our ranking placing him seventh of nine.

Rob Hornby
Georgina Nicholls 1/4
Sea of Charm has been in the frame often lately, with a fourth last time out, and a second two starts back, though she's yet to win in her last six. She has run over today's trip and going, but a 71-day break and 127 lb temper enthusiasm, and our rating of 64 only ranks her sixth of nine.

Antony Brittain 1/7
Choir Boy has been consistent without troubling the judge, finishing sixth last time out and no better than a fourth three starts back, yet to win in his last five. He has run on today's going and our rating of 65 is a plus, but 60 days off is a concern.

Winless in her last four, Angel Breeze was seventh last time out after a third two starts back, and she returns after 72 days off; she has run on today's going, but our rating of 38 ranks her last of nine.

Denis Coakley 0/3
Winless in her last six, Dijon Gone is hard to fancy, with a string of sixths, a seventh and an eighth behind her and a fourth last time out, 35 days ago. She has run over this trip and on this going, and a second three starts back shows some ability, but our rating ranks her eighth of nine.
