Eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/3) 26 days ago. Race was not run to suit on that occasion and he ran well here prior to that, so has to be taken seriously.

Headora (7/4), Velocity (10/3), Romulan Prince (5/1), Parikarma (5/1), Azets (13/2), Never Said Nothing (9/1), Willy Nilly (11/1), Helluvaboy (20/1), Hunters Step (22/1), Traveller (33/1), Party Rebel (40/1), Sweet Expectation (40/1), Go Oscar Go (80/1)

HEADORA is still a maiden but he's gone closest to shedding that tag in his two visits to Wolverhampton. Nothing went right for him at Kempton last time and, returning to this venue, he makes plenty of appeal. Willy Nilly performed creditably at Carlisle after a spell over hurdles last time and he'll be a danger. Romulan Prince is one of several others that are hard to rule out.
