Krissy

J: Cam Hardie T: J S Goldie

Race Winner

34/25

Reason for Tip

Krissy has been a horse in great form this season on the all weather with two wins and two seconds in last four starts. Went close lto at Southwell and looks to to still be ahead of the handicapper and capable of winning. Gets her normal trip again today at a course that she tends to enjoy. Is absolutely the form pick of the race and has a plum draw from stall 2 to get the early position she often takes. Cam Hardie aboard and he is no stranger to Lingfield success and generally has a very good strikerate for the Goldie yard here. Plenty of question marks over most of this field and Krissy has shown ability and consistency of late and looks set for another win today. Should win.

⭐ 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.

Grand Citadel

J: George Wood T: M Fenton

Race Winner

19/2

Reason for Tip

This race looks pretty open and ripe for the picking and one who looks a little bit of a dark horse is five year old Grand Citadel. Pretty low mileage and proved ability when landing 7f success at Leicester back in May. Hasn’t been since September so does have a break to contend with and whilst there is question marks over affinity for the straight mile trip, has ran this distance before and was a creditable performance. Remains open to improvement, capable of bouncing back after a poor couple of runs when last seen. Looks quite a weak affair this and Grand Citadel has a great jockey booking in George Wood who is no stranger to success at this track. Will need to be on song after the break to get the job done, but isn’t without chance.

19/2

8/1

🎯 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.

Colors Of Freedom

J: K T O'Neill T: Joe Ponting

Race Winner

11/4

Reason for Tip

In form six year old Colors Of Freedom looks set to take this in what is a very weak race. Form of 34422 since October and wasn’t far away the last twice at Wolverhampton and has a very good draw in stall 3 today. Has good form at this course and has amassed numerous AW wins in career so far. Remains well treated and a decent jockey aboard in K T O Neill. Really isn’t much to write home about for the other contenders and so Colors of Freedom is taken to get the job done today after knocking on the door recently.

Muskoka

J: H Cobden T: Miss E C Lavelle

Race Winner

8/1

Reason for Tip

Pretty open race here in the 2.05 and it looks to be a good looking race for eight year Muskoka from the Lavelle’s. Pretty straightforward horse who nearly always puts in a strong performance and form recently has been strong including a second at Wincanton lto in a Class 3. Drops back to Class 4 company today and we know he will stay the trip and be fine on the forecast good ground. Principal at the head of the market is a hattrick seeker and not sure will cope with the latest rise of 7lb. From the rest Muskoka looks to have a fantastic chance in this and has a world class jockey in Harry Cobden. Nice odds at 13/2 and is capable of winning this.

Homme De Fer

J: William Carson T: A W Carroll

Race Winner

9/4

Reason for Tip

Five year old Homme De Fer has been running very well recently with form of 23141 since October. Remains very unexposed on this surface with only two AW starts under his belt including a fourth here at Kempton two starts ago and a win lto at Lingfield. Open to further AW progress today in this Class 6 and whilst does go up in trip slightly, he has form over the straight mile and looks in red hot form. Only raised 3lb from the win lto and that is potentially not enough to curtail another win today. Solid booking in William Carson and looks a likely winner.

Top Guy

J: Harry Skelton T: D Skelton

Race Winner

24/5

Reason for Tip

Has shown a little inconsistency at times but looked much sharper lto at Aintree when winning a novice on first time sent over a longer trip. Seemed to suit and so yard have opted for more of the same and this six year remains unexposed at these 3mile+ distances and so capable of continuing progress. Yard have a fantastic record here and stable jockey Harry Skelton is always a positive booking. Jumped very well last time and if there is more of the same today, Top Guy could take some stopping. Currently one ahead of him in the market who is chasing a four timer but Top Guy looks to be on a much more workable mark and a little more unexposed at this trip. Good chance in this.

🍀 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.
