Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Yes I'm Mali is our selection, and he gets the nod over the top-rated Evening Blues on a progressive profile, a fitness edge and a clock that backs his form. He sits a few pounds behind the top two on our figures (94 against 98 and 97), so this is a call on trajectory rather than raw numbers. Evening Blues is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, with Starmade narrowly behind him, and Brummell is another who could take a hand in a competitive 13-runner Wolverhampton sprint. Still, the improving profile and sharper condition make Yes I'm Mali the one to side with.
Runners
Billy Loughnane
David O'Meara 4/27
Yes I'm Mali comes here in good heart after a second last time out, just 12 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Add a win four starts back, and he is our pick on profile, though 135 lb from stall 13 is a mild reservation.

Darragh Keenan
Michael Keady 0/10
Dapper Valley won four and five starts back but has been unplaced in two of his last three, with a seventh two starts back, and he returns after 20 days having run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 90 ranks him fifth of 13, though 135 lb from draw 5 leaves him plenty to prove.

Rossa Ryan
Ed Dunlop 1/20
Starmade won four starts back and was third five runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 97 ranks him second of thirteen. The main risk is a 67-day absence after an eighth last time, with his yard also out of form.

Dylan Hogan
Michael Herrington 6/18
Evening Blues has been in the frame twice in his last six, a third two starts back and a second four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him top of 13 and the yard is in form, though 51 days off and an unplaced latest run are the concern.

Lipsink won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he was unplaced two starts back and is ranked 10th of 13 on our figures, so he is hard to fancy carrying 133 lb from draw 11 after 34 days off.

Joanna Mason

Woodstock won last time out and has two wins in his last six, with a fifth and a third in between, and he's fresh enough after 17 days off, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 90 only ranks him sixth of 13, and 133 lb from stall 12 leaves little in hand.

Ryan Sexton
Julie Camacho 1/19
Brummell has been consistently in the mix, finishing second two starts back and third three and six starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 92 sits well above his official 83, though he is yet to win in his last six and was fifth last time out.

Finley Marsh
Richard Hughes 2/13
The Thames Boatman is winless in his last six, though two seconds three and four starts back show he can get close, and he has run over today's trip and going. Fourth last time out after 35 days off, he's ranked 11 of 13 on our figures and carries 131 lb from draw 3, so he's hard to fancy.

Daniel Muscutt

Moving Force is yet to win in his last six, though a second and two thirds in that spell show he's competitive, and he's fresh from a sixth 12 days ago. He has run over today's trip and going, but 131 lb from draw 10 asks plenty, and our rating of 87 only ranks him seventh of 13.

Joey Haynes
Chelsea Banham 0/1
Twilight Fun is winless in his last six, with a sixth last time out and a break of 49 days, and he is hard to fancy near the foot of our ratings, ranked 12th of 13. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going and was second two starts back, while he carries 130 lb from draw nine.

Dan Horsford 0/5
Kiniro arrives in good heart, second last time out and a winner two starts back, just 12 days since his last run, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 85 only ranks him ninth of 13, though, and a ninth and a seventh earlier in his recent form add inconsistency.

Tan Rapido won last time out but that came after a run of eighth, eighth and seventh, and he returns from 120 days off; he has run over today's trip and going, though 130 lb from draw 7 is a stiff ask, with our rating of 87 only eighth of 13.
