Wow William³⁰

4/1

9/1, very good third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good) 30 days ago. Up in trip. Going the right way and step up in trip looks sure to suit, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 0765-73

13/2

10/3, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 30 days ago. Shaped encouragingly on penultimate start, so too soon to write off following one poor showing.

20/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 33/1) 12 days ago, hampered. Likely to improve now handicapping, so one to note.

WOW WILLIAM found some improvement when third at Lingfield a month ago, all the while leaving the impression that he needs further, so he's fancied to improve enough to open his account now upped to a trip that should suit ideally. Cuban Cigar is well handicapped and ran a cracker at Newmarket 12 days ago, so he's another major player with Rain Gauge also worth noting down in grade.
