        Verdict

        The return to Wolverhampton can help Off Hire get back to winning ways and he is preferred over Heathyardsblessing and Baytown Flyer. The last named is a previous course and distance winner and will be a popular choice after posting a fair effort in defeat at Lingfield last time out. She is a game contender and is entitled to be in the shake-up if she runs her race. Heathyardsblessing has taken well to racing in a visor and should also make a bold bid. However, he is yet to really convince that six furlongs is absolutely ideal for him and he could be vulnerable near the finish. Which is where we expect Off Hire to be doing his best work. Four previous victories at this track do not tell the whole story about Off Hire's liking for the turns of Dunstall Park, as he has also made the frame on five other occasions. The trip is not a problem for him and Off Hire represents good value back at his favourite course.
