Wolverhampton Race 5 - Hotel & Conferencing At Wolverhampton Racecourse Ebf Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
AL WIDYAN (1) delivered a penultimate start 0.75L third tackling the trip at Kempton. Backed into favourite when fifth of fifteen under Oisin Murphy at Newbury latest. Warrants thought in this open maiden race. MUHANDES (6) was only 1.75L behind the winner on Leicester debut with Billy Loughnane booked to ride. Finished 2L third of seven next time at Catterick. Eased in grade and looks a leading contender third-up. SEA PALACE (7) just missed the frame in first-time headgear at Lingfield and merits consideration. COSMOCRAT (2) is another to note up in distance following a creditable 1.25L second here earlier this month.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, got back early 6th of 10 at this track on September 15 over 1200m, 10 len behind Thames Waterman with 57.5kg at $41. Should hold the form and he appeals as one of the hardest to beat.

Last start ran last of 8 at Chester on September 19 over 1200m, on heavy track; 25 len behind Rhodes Runner with 56kg at $151. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 at Windsor on August 17 over 1200m, 17 len behind Mithaaly with 55kg at $301. Not keen.
