The Verdict
FormCast selectionThe Anthony GoverConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Form figures 463211 show rapid improvement culminating in back-to-back wins, and he's fresh off just 7 days ago meaning he's fit and race-sharp. Trainer Richard Newland is in good form and the addition of first-time cheekpieces on a horse already progressing suggests a stable pushing on with a genuine improver. OR 65 looks conservative given the trajectory - he's clearly ahead of his mark on pure form momentum. Billy Loughnane takes over and the yard's confidence is evident in the quick turnaround. Draw 12 is wide but at 1m1f AW Wolverhampton, wide draws are not a major hindrance, especially with the pace likely to be forward from others like Celtic Chariot and Variety Act which can suit a horse settling and finishing. Most rivals are either exposed and stagnant (Back At One, Cobalt Comet fading, Far Far Out out of form) or facing questions of trip/class suitability. Celtic Chariot and Variety Act both have solid recent form but are unproven at this exact trip/class combo and carry topweight; Musical Accord and Vega Storm look held on returns. The Anthony Gover's improvement curve, fitness, and positive market/stable signals make him the standout value bet to win.
