Wolverhampton Race 1 - Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At Betmgm.co.uk Handicap
A small but competitive field. BERKSHIRE SCHMOKIN (2) impressed staying on for a 1L victory over course and distance last time. That was a first career success and seems now to be improving. Up in weights but expected to still play a leading role. MY CHAMPION (3) showed a great attitude when a head winner here attempting latest. Application of first time cheekpieces might unlock further progression and he is very easy to fancy. ANEIRIN'S SWORD (5) is both talented and consistent. Finished amongst the first two past five outings and is expected to go close once more. ZIPWIRE (4) arrives freshened since a course win. Could be primed for this and looks a genuine threat to all.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last in a small field at this track on January 23 over 1700m, 14 len behind Objector carrying 59kg at $10. Second-up 3rd of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather on February 11 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Mohaaraj with 56kg at $26. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond his reach.

Racing well recently. Last start favourite; won by a head at this track February 27 over 1700m defeating Sup Of Red with 60.5kg at $2.50. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Lingfield All Weather on February 14 over 1600m, neck behind Ebn Sabt with 60kg at $4.50. One of the better chances.
