Wolverhampton (AW) 8:30 Result

Form figures 180223 show consistent placing including a recent win, and he's clearly progressive with Oisin Murphy taking the ride - a strong booking for a stable that knows how to place horses (Appleby). Top weight at 135lbs reflects a rating that keeps climbing, but he's proven at this sort of trip/track and the addition of a jockey of Murphy's calibre for a modest-rated horse signals real confidence from the yard. Draw 1 is workable over 1m6f on the AW where saving ground matters. Rivals like Clipsham Noble (146143) and Dinah Myte (423661) are consistent too, but Le Rouge Chinois' recent second/third placings plus a win in the sequence, combined with a leading jockey booking, gives him the shape of the most likely winner. This looks a weak Class 6 field and the strongest, most progressive profile with the best jockey take precedence.
