Wolverhampton 08/07

[RussP]

8.55 Wolverhampton 13 runners are lining up for this Class 6 handicap over 1m1f, and it looks to be a quite competitive event so we are trying a double figured price animal: Soldier Field (12/1 Bet365) - Several of the horses in this race are in decent form but are all upped in handicap mark. However, this horse is dropped a further 2lb and has a 6lb advantage being a 3yo in this contest. Furthermore, the excellent William Buick takes the ride for the first time. Finishes its races well but has been stopped on 2 of its last 3 tries on the AW. Ignore lto as raced on turf and 3 runs ago when trip was too far. Still a maiden but I think it has several positives tonight - right trip, right surface, decent draw, excellent jockey, good racing weight and some poorly handicapped rivals. Can't ignore the 12/1 being offered.
