Wolverhampton (eve) 23/1/09

8.20 Wolverhampton Hellbender is in good shape at the minute and ran a respectable second last time out behind Five Star Junior. Sylvester Kirk's Exceed and Excel Colt has already shown his effectiveness over sprint distances, as his breeding would suggest, but last time out shaped as though he would get this extra furlong and he runs off 72 again tomorrow - 7 lbs above his last win. He's lightly raced and still looks to be improving so I'll back him again after a winning nap two starts ago. 8.50 Wolverhampton Kabis Amigos was a fairly useful horse when with Dandy, well for this grade anyway, and although he is winless for his current yard he caught the eye last time out when beaten by a nose in a photo over course and distance by Silver Wind. Racing off a mark 19 lbs lower than his last handicap win he is very well handicapped if in the same mood, and is due to go up 10 lb when reassessed so looks well in indeed.

Re: Wolverhampton (eve) 23/1/09 7.20 Wolverhampton Teasing has been threatening to score for a while and will appreciate the drop into this small field as she is likely to be ridden close up to the leaders and left with less of a job in the business end of the race. Reacts well to a visor and could be the main rival to the odds on fav. 9/4 7.50 Wolverhampton Jarvo is a multiple course and distance winner and has a chance off 49. He's won off 2 lb higher in the past and I'll take him over a potentially suspect favourite.
