Wolverhampton Race 1 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Handicap
It is always worth respecting runners backing up quickly after a win and ANEIRIN'S SWORD (1) finally got the job done after having to dig deep to score by a nose at Chelmsford City on Friday. Drawn out in stall seven but could prove hard to beat if in the same condition. ROSERUNNER (3) was reluctant to load at Lingfield three weeks ago. Caught the eye on his finishing effort to break his maiden at the second attempt and worth giving another chance. ALFA PATISSERIE (5) was successful tackling 1600m at Newcastle when last seen. Looks to have found a good opportunity. Watch the market for handicap debutant KARISMA'S ANGEL (7). Something for the Multiples: MY CHAMPION (4) SNAAFY (2)

Raced twice to date. At debut, 5th of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather on December 3 over 1600m, 13 len behind Zennor Storm carrying 57kg at $17. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Lingfield All Weather December 17 over 1600m defeating Wind Summer carrying 58.5kg at $6. Harder here but is among the hopes.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Newcastle All Weather on November 7 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind The Tunguska Event carrying 60kg at $3. The race before that got back early 5th of 8 at Newcastle All Weather on October 14 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Starmade carrying 60.5kg at $41. One of the chances.

Second run back. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after five months won by 1.3 len at Newcastle All Weather November 17 over 1600m defeating Popty Ping carrying 58.5kg at $10. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Doncaster on June 15 over 1400m, 14 len behind Amora Queen carrying 58kg at $8. Has upside and worth following up.
