Fast Track Harry

J: Rob Hornby T: C G Cox
Race Winner
49/25

Reason for Tip

For a four year old, Fast Track Harry is still very low mileage with only seven starts to his name and remains open to plenty of further progression. Made a very strong start to handicapping when second in a very warm race at York back in June last year and after two disappointing runs at Ascot following that, returned lto from a break to win in nice style at Lingfield. That was first run after a gelding op and he looked much more settled and relaxed throughout the race and i’d be surprised if he doesn’t kick on for that win and improve again. This is his usual trip and whilst this may be course debut at this track, yard are enjoying a good spell and have a very favourable strikerate in the last month. Rob Hornby aboard is a huge plus at this course, he has 40% of his races in the last two years at this course and Fast Track Harry is in very good hands here. Looks a very likely winner again today.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Alba Gu Brath

5.30 Wolverhampton – 1/1
T: C Johnston | J: Callum Shepherd

Alba Gu Brath looks the standout in a race full of unexposed three-year-olds. He has finished second on both career starts so far and was only beaten last time out by a very smart-looking newcomer at Newcastle, pulling well clear of the rest of the field.

He remains open to plenty of improvement and looks progressive on the figures so far. He tackles the straight mile again but switches to Wolverhampton for the first time. A wide draw in stall 9 is the main question mark, especially as he has led on both previous starts, but Callum Shepherd — operating at a strong strike-rate recently — is a big positive booking.

Alba Gu Brath sets the standard on form and looks primed to get off the mark today.

Jeriko De Baune

J: Niall Moore T: P Fenton
Race Winner
18/1

Reason for Tip

Bit inconsistent at times but on his day Jeriko De Baune is more than capable of contesting races at this level and did so when winning at Clonmel over 3 miles back in November. Couple of lesser performances recently have dropped his mark and now just 3lb above the mark he won off at Clonmel. Acts on this trip and will appreciate the ground today. Looking a bit well handicapped and 18/1 looks a big price considering his only other run at this course was a good performance. Yard have a decent record in this race and at this course generally. Usual jockey Niall Moore retains the ride and it would be no surprise if this horse ran into the places at least today at a nice price. Chance.

🎯 Dark Horse

Montu

7.00 Wolverhampton – 10/1
T: Jack Jones | J: Dylan Hogan

Montu is a three-year-old who hasn’t yet shown his full potential, with form figures of 797 from his first three starts. However, he is very nicely bred and now enters handicapping in what looks a particularly ordinary Class 6 contest.

The step up in trip to 1m1f looks a positive on pedigree, and a plum draw in stall 1 gives him every chance of settling into a good position. Some horses take time to find their feet, and handicaps often unlock that improvement.

At double-figure odds, Montu is capable of showing much more than we’ve seen so far and is taken to outrun his price.

Enjoy Dallen

J: undefined T: undefined
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

12 year old Enjoy D’allen still knows how to get the job done even at this age as he’s proven three times this season already. Got up again lto by over 7 lengths at Plumpton and only gone up 2lb for that success. Looks to still be well treated and runs in very similar conditions today both in trip and the ground that’s forecast. Very small 3 runner field here in the first on the card and Enjoy D’Allen looks a major player. Lily Jones retains the ride, knows the horse well and has won on this boy a few times now. Pretty open looking race and top weight Enjoy D’Allen looks the likely victor.

Gris Majeur

J: Ben Jones T: Sheila Lewis
Race Winner
17/5

Reason for Tip

Nine year old Gris Majeur returns to action today after 112 days off and looks very capable of making a winning return. Looked very solid and consistent in all last four starts over fences and form reads 2123 since April last year. Versatile distance wise and will be fine over this trip and this looks a good distance for his return run. Drying ground is particularly favourable and will act on this today. Has gone well fresh previously and likely to put in a big run despite the break. Stable is a smaller one but have a good record at this course and that tends to speak volumes for smaller operations. Top jockey enlisted for today in Ben Jones and he’s won 33% of rides aboard Lewis trained horses at this track. Major player today.

Scudamore

J: I J Power T: J Candlish
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty open looking race here in the 4.10 and one who looks set for a big run is nine year old Scudamore from the Candlish yard who has strung together some strong performances of late, including over C&D two starts ago. Looks on a good mark and looks to have a great chance today at a course he enjoys and on ground he will relish following some recent runs on less than favourable ground conditions. Reliable jumper and will make the running and this race looks a little more winnable than a couple of recent contests. Jennie is enjoying a fine time of it over the last couple of weeks and thats a positive for Scudamore too. Ian Power back aboard today. Good chance.

Midsummer Storm

J: James Doyle T: K R Burke
Race Winner
27/5

Reason for Tip

Interesting race here with a lot of unexposed three year olds and one who catches the eye at nice odds who’s capable of much better than debut performance is Midsummer Storm from the Burke yard. Very green on debut at Newcastle back in February when fourth of ten and likely a big improver today. Very nicely bred and cost a princely sum of 550,000 euros. Drops back a furlong in trip today which shouldn’t pose any issues and despite being drawn wide in stall 8, should have a very good chance here. Bred for much better, likely to see that today and has a jockey change to James Doyle for this run. Burke yard are in form, have an excellent record here and when James Doyle rides for the yard, theyve won 32% of races and on the only occasion where they combined at this course in the last two years, won very nicely. Midsummer Storm is taken to get the job done today on second start.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Eye Of The Water

4.00 Wolverhampton – 7/2
T: R Harris | J: Cieren Fallon

Now a ten-year-old, Eye Of The Water is very experienced and well treated on current ratings. While he hasn’t been in the winner’s enclosure since mid-2023, he has been edging closer recently and wasn’t far away when fourth at Lingfield last time out.

This looks a weak race, and with a top jockey aboard in Cieren Fallon — who has a good record here — Eye Of The Water should be competitive. A wide draw is the main concern, but off this mark and at this level, he looks a big player.


The Gay Blade

4.30 Wolverhampton – 6/1
T: I Jardine | J: Andrew Mullen

Recent form figures of 63990 don’t make great reading, but The Gay Blade is now on a bottomed-out mark and looks well handicapped on previous form. He drops into a 0–50 rated race for the first time, which immediately makes him of interest.

This looks a very ordinary contest, and a change of track could spark a revival. With his usual jockey Andrew Mullen back aboard, The Gay Blade is taken seriously at this level and capable of bouncing back.


Enola Grey

6.30 Wolverhampton – 11/4
T: G Tutty | J: Kaiya Fraser

Enola Grey is a Tapeta specialist, with six career wins on the all-weather compared to just one on turf. She was a convincing winner here at Wolverhampton last time out, and a 6lb rise doesn’t look enough to stop her.

She has a good draw and returns to a course she clearly enjoys. While the yard isn’t in red-hot form, those spells don’t last forever, and Enola Grey looks to have an excellent chance of completing a Wolverhampton double.


Auntie Jo

8.00 Wolverhampton – 5/2
T: D O’Meara | J: Mark Winn

Auntie Jo returned from a nine-month break last time out and, despite needing the run, shaped well for much of the race. She should strip fitter today and returns to a course she has previously enjoyed.

Dropping back to her preferred 5f and drawn well in stall 2, this looks a golden opportunity in what is a weak-looking race. Representing a yard well known for success here, Auntie Jo is very likely to go close and could finally get her head in front.
