In depth
Verdict
Valentine Blues and Dubai Paradise have both been in the mix at Wolverhampton recently and have a chance but Aguerooo and Catapult’s earlier wins at Southwell both came in classified company. Hey Ho Let's Go is penalised for scoring over a longer trip here last week and a chance is taken on the returning TOMAHAWK RIDGE. The latter ended last season with a head defeat in a tougher contest at Nottingham and should go close with a similar effort as he debuts on the Polytrack.
