7.10 Wolverhampton

Off The Pulse has become well handicapped having been ridden more patiently than is normally the case but if ridden more prominently again he should go well.

Conor Dore has got his small string going well again recently and Hercullian Prince has had 3 runs for this yard placing all 3 starts, unsuited by the way the race panned out last time out but still finished well so clearly remains in form. So if gets a good pace to chase down he should go well.

Buckland Beau has been costly to follow often looking a little unlucky in the run, no race last time out when saddle slipped, but handicapper has caught up now adding 3lb to her and the fact she has been costly to follow might be worth taking on.

Walk Like A Giant was a winner on penultimate start and raced off that same winning mark last time out behind Hickster when 3^rd, 5lb higher today and career best required now.

Hickster was a really good winner last time out when racing prominently throughout, 5lb risein the handicapper so meets Walk Like A Giant on the same terms and could get a soft lead in this field with little other front or prominent runners. Also has a good record around here 11 starts with 5 wins and 3 placed efforts, and also well drawn in stall 2.

 

1pt win Hickster 4/1 betway

C4.55 Par Three 15/2 Betvictor

This is the only c&d winner in the field and the horse that this horse beat in that c&d has since rattled off 3 in a row including a win off a 9lb higher mark so Par Three's mark of just 3lb higher could well be a winnable one. It's interesting that Luke Morris has been booked for the ride for the first time since he rode the horse to victory in thar race and looks sure to go close with conditions in its favour.
