A field of 11 here with just Astapor known as a front running type but I doubt this one could hold on long enough to even make the frame, but never say never, Astrophysics has won its last 2 races but has never won when rated this high and might be in the grips of the handicapper so I might look to lay it if a shortish price but being in good form is always a positive at this level of racing, Seas Of Elzaam 6/1 will be trying to stay on late in this race but maybe too late for the win and another lay if still a single figure price near the off. Glorious Charmer 7/2 is in good from recently and comes out 4th top on my figures so could possibly make the frame but I doubt it will be an each way price, Jackmeister Rudi 25/1 sits in 3rd top spot and races as though further might suit it better but might be worth a small each way interest if a big price, 2nd top spot belongs to Admirable Lad 5/1 who likes to track the leaders and has the stall one draw which could be an advantage as long as it doesn't get squeezed out in the early stages, I'm hoping my top rated horse BOMB SQUAD 7/2 from stall 9 can follow the likely pacesetter across to the rails and gain a good early position from which to attack in the final stages of the race.
Bomb Squad 6/1 8th -1pt
Lay bets: Astrophysics +1pt, Seas Of Elzaam +1pt
Total +1pt
WOLVERHAMPTON 5.30 Div II
This 2nd division also has 11 runners but with 3 known front running types it could be run at a faster earlier pace and as long as they don't cut each others throats in an attempt to lead then the race ought to be won from the front as my first and 3rd top rated are in that trio. *Boarhunt 7/2 won last time out but it races as though further would suit it better and could be worth laying if of value to do so. Catesby and At Your Service are my joint 4th top rated but I expect them both to be outsiders in this race, Della Mare is my 3rd top rated and one of the possible pacesetters but it is stuck out in stall 11 which isn't going to help its cause especially with another fast starter, Apache Star, in stall 10, Yaahobby 10/1 comes out 2nd best on my figures so could do best of those coming from off the pace and maybe another that might be worth an each way interest but in the make-up of this race EYE OF THE WATER 4/1 could get out smartly and gain control on the rails and then kick for home in the straight and a repeat of its rating from here last year it would win with a bit to spare.
Eye Of The Water 9/2 8th -1pt
Total -1pt
WOLVERHAMPTON 8.30
One of those stakes races where the top rated is only 50 and they all carry the same weight, theres 3 front running types and they are all horses that seem to fade late in the race if pressed for the lead and made to go off too fast but if one is allowed an easy lead then they could lead all the way and Ubahha would be top rated if going back to its best 2021 rating but hasn't been in good form recently, Our Man In Havana hasn't produced anything of note time wise for quite a while now while Rockley Point won last time out in a slow run affair. Amazing Amaya is my 4th top rated horse while Youlovemewheniwin and Blackcurrent sit in joint 2nd top spot or if I ignore Ubahha’s 2021 rating then in top spot. Its such a mixed up set of figures I'm not really sure what will produce what so I will either leave the race alone or look to dutch Youllovemewheniwin12/1, Amazing Amaya 11/2, Blackcurrant 9/2 and Rockley Point 9/2 so you can go whichever way suits you best.
