In depth
Verdict
Summer Shades, Millagros and Tenny's Gold can all be involved at the finish here, and we will side with Tenny's Gold. A relatively rare runner on this surface for Barry Hills, Tenny's Gold scored over seven furlongs here last time and was reported to have loved the fibresand. She won with a bit in hand that day and looks more than capable of following up despite the longer trip here. Millagros has her first run at Wolverhampton here, but goes well on soft ground and should therefore be at home on the surface here. This trip is well within her compass, she remains in decent form, and having been dropped a pound or two, she will definitely come into the reckoning. Of the remainder, Summer Shades has plenty of experience on this track in the past, and has been running well this year. However, despite winning here in the past, her form suggests that she is a fair bit happier when the ground is fast, so she may just be run out of it towards the finish. But Tenny's Gold caught the eye last time and looks capable of following up.
