2.20 Wolverhampton Ill Be Good is an obvious favourite having scored convincingly around here over 5f making all, wont get things so easy in front today and also step up in trip might not be ideal and although still well handicapped under 6lb penalty doesn’t look an obvious sort to follow up. Like most of this field Sewn Up looks well handicapped on his very best form. He won off 71 at his best but merely going through the emotions at present and best watched although will appreciate this drop in trip. Parisian Pyramid is another well handicapped sort he won off a mark of 91 and now running off 64, been running well recently but isn’t easy to win with these days and wont get things easy up front again today. Haadeeth is a couple of lbs below his last winning mark but he too doesn’t look ready to strike at present. Alpha Tauri is a Southwell specialist and all his wins come there and several of them in sellers and claimers. Not so good there last time and needs to bounce back on polytrack in a handicap enough against him to avoid. Flash City has just one win from 32 and therefore is easy to ignore despite falling in the weights. I am gonna take a chance of Colourbearer, he can often shape out form away from this venue but his record at this track is 4 wins and 2 placed efforts from 14 efforts and 3 from 9 over CD, easy to ignore Southwell effort and latest effort at Kempton when messing the start up. There is plenty of pace in this race which should suit his finishing style and he is currently running off his last winning mark and cant be ignored at this venue! 2pt win Colourbearer 9/1 bet365 4.30 Wolverhampton Medam is the obvious favourite again having won last time out, that form doesn’t look the strongest and infact has to run off an 8lb higher mark today under a penalty and a handicap rise. That would require a career best effort. Auntie Mildred won a seller in the summer but has failed to progress on in handicaps and has something to prove stepping up in trip. Classy Trick remains a maiden but has been well backed this morning, he is an obvious pace angle having front run over shorter trips, a drop in trip will need to bring about some improvement and showed nothing over this trip in maidens so question marks at a short enough price. Poker Hospital has run well fresh in the past but 410 days might be a little too extreme. He could also be well handicapped having placed off marks in the low 70’s now running off 47, but wasn’t showing much when last seen so a lengthy break needs to bring about improvement. Vale Of Clara is of some interest based on his penultimate start when she was held up and was seen to be unlucky in the run and finish well. Ridden more prominently last time out and not so effective, highly rated when came to these shores but has flopped since but any sort of return to form she could be well handicapped. Partners Gold is still a maiden but has been running respectably recently in blinkers but needs to find more from somewhere. Satwa Laird is well handicapped but is of no interest whatsoever whilst under this jockey. My vote goes to Ryan Style from the Lisa Williamson yard who finally had a winner this week having gone over a year without a winner, the yard are full of well handicapped sorts if they can get them going again. Ryan Style has threatened on a number of occasions recently he is capable of striking again for all he isn’t straight forward. His last win came off 76 and now running off 50, Kirby a strong booking and would be no surprise to see him run a big race! 2pt win Ryan Style 11/2 VC
