Two bets today.
Graceandgratitude represents the in form Stuart Williams, who is gaining a reputation for being a pretty good trainer of sprinters. The half sister to the selection, Itsher, ran up a sequence during the summer for Williams, after being aimed at a similar Wolves handicap this time last year (hung as if something amiss, S.P. 13/8 fav heavily backed). The selection ran an eye catching race at Kempton over 5f last time, making ground under hands and heels at the finish, in a race where she carried 4lb overweight and met better opponents that she does today. She is drawn well and, on her handicap debut, can leave her recent form behind over a trip which will suit perfectly. Williams seems to have placed the horse well here. The danger is Exceed Power.
Into The Light runs in the 1m4f handicap, the last on the card. He is a speculative selection but he is bred to be suited by middle distances on artificial surfaces. Looking at the video of his second over course and distance, he doesn't seem to be putting it all in and he takes plenty of rousting. I think he may be a fragile sort and indeed his best form has come after a decent break. It is interesting his connections have persevered with him, and they've booked Robert Winston for his reappearance today. Many of this field have questions to answer regarding fitness, track or trip, and there are quite a few hold up horses in here too. Into the Light races prominently, and if he can sit on the pace, I think he is well handicapped enough and will be fit enough to go close to winning today.
Best Recommendation:
2.50 Wolverhampton Graceandgratitude, 4pts win @ 7.2 (Betfair)
5.20 Wolverhampton Into The Light, 2pts each-way @ 16/1 (VC Bet, Stan James - guaranteed)
