Wolverhampton 7:40 - Download The Coral App Handicap(2) 1m1f 103yds The very lightly raced John Gosden trained colt, Maverick Wave, is entitled to plenty of respect here and is open to a lot of improvement. The three year old won on Polytrack at Lingfield back in July so goes on the surface and last month he finished 2nd in the very valuable Balmoral Handicap at Ascot, finishing 2nd behind Bronze Angel. He is without doubt the horse here that has scope for vast improvment and is worthy favourite coming back onto this surface. Keith Dalgleish looks to have a good chance with Ginger Jack but it was his outsider that interested me the most at the prices. Sound Advice caught the eye at Redcar two runs back and goes on the surface, so is not without hope.

Flat Racing - Thursday 6th November 2014 19.40 Wolverhampton (Class 2 Handicap) - If Solar Deity is fully fit after his 202 days long break, he has a big chance, but I feel with the mark and big weight to shoulder, he is vulnerable if not at his brilliant best tomorrow. Favourite Maverick Wave makes plenty of appeal though. He is lovely bred, with a nice US pedigree and has strong form to his name, most recently on British Champions Day in a big Handicap where he finished a strong runner-up. He won on the All-Weather earlier this year and in fact the surface should be no problem at all. His mark looks more than fair as he could be easily the class act in this field, given that he has a weight advantage, all seems set up nicely for a win. Only slight concern is the trip. Not impossible that he gets the 9,5f, but something we have to find out tomorrow on the track. I still regard his price as too big given all the other facts mentioned. Small saver Earth Drummer. He tries the trip for the first time as well, but on pedigree there is no reason why he shouldn't get - and in fact - shouldn't improve for it. By Irish Derby winner Dylan Thomas out of a Giant's Causeway mare who's sire is dual Derby winner Generous. ED tried the AW quite recently for the first time, finished 3rd in a hot 7f race while having to overcome a wide draw and certainly didn't get the run of the race either. He stayed on nicely in the end. He should go close too and is overpriced imo. Maverick Wave @ 5/2 Bet365 - 10pts win Earth Drummer @ 11/2 Bet365 - 5pts win
