5.45 Wolverhampton

Street Force won last time out fresh back from a break, didnt have a lot to spare that day and a 2lb rise looks tough to overcome especially with this quick turnarond in racing again but from a yard that can keep them going.

Armsaround has shown a modest level in maidens and needs to step up dramatically on handicap debut.

Black Dave is dropping back down the weights but very inexperienced jockey on board today and probably best swerved on that and latest lesser runs.

This is not Archie Stevens trip and has to be watched racing over 7f, best wait till back over 5f or 6f.

Classic Flyer has put to good placed efforts together for a yard going well at present, both around here over the 6f, has looked in need of the 7f so needs to prove stamina.

Clockmaker has to be of interest on the back of a good effort last time out finishing well behind a very well handicapped Seychelloise, he was held up that day however his most recent wins havecome from making all mainly including over this CD, there are no obvious front runners in this race and he may get that role from a good draw. Conor Dore’s runners have been a little out of shapre recently but signs they are turning the corner at present.

 

1pt win Clockmaker 5/1 bet365

Aintree 2.15 - Many Clouds - win at 11/4 bog wm hill

Listed Chase

We have a short priced favourite here from Ireland in the shape of Don Poli, who won the RSA in March. He's currently odds-on but I think he's worth opposing. Firstly this is his first run out of novice company and his first run of the season, It wouldn't be unusual for Mullin's top horses to disappoint on their seasonal debuts..............they're all working towards Cheltenham in March

Many Clouds won the Hennessy, a Cheltenham Grade 2 and the Grand National last season. He's higher rated on OR than the favourite although is giving him 5lb in view of the latter's 'novice' status

Conditions should be fine.

Faced a tough task on his seasonal return giving 10lbs to the likes of Cue Card and Dynaste. He was fairly well beaten in the end but showed up for a long way and could come on for the run
