Verdict

For a Monday at Wolverhampton, this race rates as a competitive Class 5 handicap with a number of the runners in with a shout. The likes of Bobby Joe Leg and Newstead Abbey compete off perfectly fair handicap marks, so it wouldn't be a major surprise to see either make the frame. Mutabaahy would be a more tentative choice in the hope that a recent run has knocked off some rough edges. However, this should rest between Kupa River and the re-emerging STEELRIVER. The selection was a useful horse in his younger years for Michael Herrington, and looked to be very much on the way back when stamping his authority over nine rivals over C&D just nine-days ago.
  1. Steelriver
  2. Kupa River
  3. Bobby Joe Leg
