Wolverhampton Race 9 - Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap
One of the stars of the winter AISLING OSCAR (4) can return to winning ways in what looks a more realistic assignment. Already an eight-time winner this all-weather campaign and hard to beat. PANAMA BLACK (5) could be capable of more having offered further hope at Southwell last month when 2.5L third. One to consider especially if supported. MR NUGGET (8) turned in a rare poor effort at Newcastle over the weekend. No surprise if he returned back to form quickly. FRANCESI (7) has been busy this winter. Will need more than when seventh at Newcastle three weeks ago though irrespective any Tony Carroll runner warrants respect.
