10/3

Won at Ffos Las last July and has been placed in all four starts since. Ran well with cheekpieces reapplied when second of 11 in handicap at this course and distance (10/3) 16 days ago, making headway under pressure and keeping on. Consistency is hard to knock and should give another good account.

Forecasts

Zooks (5/2), Fascinating Shadow (11/4), Moon Over The Sea (10/3), Urban Warrior (10/1), Grand Duchess Olga (10/1), Blue Siam (12/1), Havachoc (14/1), V Power (25/1), Alex The Great (33/1), Legacy Power (33/1)

MOON OVER THE SEA comes here in good form after winning at Southwell 8 days ago, showing a strong finishing kick. Despite a 4lb rise, his excellent track record (five previous Wolverhampton wins) makes him the selection. Fascinating Shadow is a consistent all-weather performer, while the reliable Zooks placed second over course and distance recently.
