Wink Oliver has been getting closer at Wolverhampton of late and Exit Europe won at the same track before going close again last time. Golden Wedding has been raised 6lb after winning at Brighton and the lightly raced Moon Eyes is preferred making her handicap debut on the back of a couple of placed efforts. But COLORADA is also unexposed and should have come on for a belated reappearance run at Wolverhampton last month. First time headgear could also sharpen her up and she is fancied to go close in this.
