Wolverhampton Race 5 - Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
WOSTA (10) impressed when a keeping on 1.5L runner-up providing racecourse debut at Kempton last month with Oisin Murphy aboard. Likely to improve and is preferred on second outing. STEAMROLLER (5) finished sixth debuting at Newbury in May while four of the five ahead of him have subsequently won. Rates highly returning from a break. MEDAALI (3) was not too far away when 6.5L fifth of fourteen at Nottingham. Since switched to the Simon Crisford yard and holds claims if there is a market lead. Former French runner WATCH THE KING (6) is another stable debutant who looks interesting and makes the shortlist.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up ran last of 7 at Kempton Park All Weather on October 5 over 2400m, 79 len behind Noble Journey carrying 61.5kg at $251. Second run from a spell ran second last of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on October 26 over 2400m, 13 len behind Flagbearer carrying 61.5kg at $251. Can't see him breaking through for the maiden win this time.

Having third race start. At debut, got back early ran second last in a small field at Windsor on September 14 over 1600m, 27 len behind Song Of The Clouds with 59kg at $12. Last start raced on the pace before fading 11th of 14 at Nottingham on October 14 over 1600m, 12 len behind Adamlyi carrying 60.5kg at $34. Facing a tougher assignment but he looks an improver worth another chance.
