In depth
Verdict
The opener can go the way of Wait For The Will with Finished Article and Ross Moor both fair contenders. The selection is six pounds higher in the weights after scoring at Lingfield on the all weather last time out. He has shown he handles the conditions of the Wolverhampton track as he has won here in the past. If repeating his solid effort last time then he will take all the beating. Finished Article is a ten year old now and is having a great spell in the twilight of his career at present winning back to back races here over various trips. He has to be respected once more but will find life tougher now off a ten pound higher mark. Ross Moor ran well to win at Lingfield back in December but failed to advance on that when running under par two weeks ago. He has been expensive to follow in the past and for that reason is best watched for the time being. So for the winner we return to Wait For The Will.
