Verdict
The most competitive race of the evening can go to Prince Of Blues, who is fancied to reverse recent form with Maktavish and hold the in-form Paddywack, who has solid each way claims after a string of good performances in defeat. Gilded Cove is another in-form runner who merits a little scrutiny but this is a step up in grade for him and he may find a few too good at this level. The same comments are forwarded about Lady Pekan, whose profile does not suggest that she is one to go overboard about despite a cracking effort over course and distance at last weekend's meeting. Therefore, the selection process edges back to the top of the weights and Prince Of Blues, who is already a three-time winner at Wolverhampton, is selected as the one to go well at a price tonight.
