Verdict
A competitive way to open the card at Wolverhampton and the only certainty is that this will be run at a furious pace if past form is anything to go by. The presence of Soaked, Laurel Dawn and Rita's Rock Ape ensures that there is pace high and low from the stalls and there will be few excuses for any in defeat. However, Tigress appeals as one who will benefit from the way the race is likely to develop and she is taken to uphold recent c&d form with Pulse, despite meeting that rival on 6lbs worse terms than the last time they met. The consistent Nineacres is incredibly well treated on the pick of his form and looks to hold the best each way chance of the remainder.
