Wolverhampton Race 9 - Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap
This could be a great battle between two of the stars of the all-weather season. AISLING OSCAR (3) was in scintillating form however struggled of late and needs to bounce back. Yet to win tackling this shorter trip. Thereabouts. YORKSHIRE GLORY (6) proved a revelation this winter winning seven times with six of those at Newcastle. Yet to succeed here. Hard to knock at the moment in pursuit of a five-timer. DYRHOLAEY (2) scored at Chelmsford two starts ago. Not maintaining that level at Kempton Park earlier this month. Needs to bounce back. BETSEN (1) held form since securing a victory at Southwell in November. One to note.
