The Verdict
FormCast selectionLuanConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Luan's recent form reads 0-9119 with two wins figures in there and clearly progressing, last-time-out win coming just 26 days ago in a similar grade. The trainer Nick Scholfield yard is in decent form and Billy Loughnane is a booking that suggests confidence. He carries a competitive 132lbs off an OR of 60, and the trip of 1m4f suits given his Sea The Stars sire line which throws stamina types that improve with class/trip. Draw 3 is workable at Wolverhampton AW over this trip, not disadvantaged. Compared to Sansanetti (-66441) who looks to have gone through a plateau after an early win then faded with 4,4,1 - actually she won last time so she's respectable too, but her recent scoreline of 6,6,4,4,1 shows more moderate consistency than genuine improvement, and at same/higher class levels she's flattered. Phaedra's form figures (724025) show she's already won recently and is respectable, but stepped up in class before finishing lower placed suggests she's found this level testing. Ottoman's 325155 is consistent but not progressive - seems to have found his level around midfield. Bulldog Spirit and Dancingondiamonds look to be making up the numbers based on such moderate recent efforts. Sevenkingsmustdie only has three runs and looks unexposed but the small sample and step up in trip is unproven. Overall, Luan's recent win, market support expected, and stamina pedigree make him the most solid combination of proven improvement and suitability at this trip/class, offering the best combination of form and value in a moderate contest.
