Wolverhampton 2.15
My general rule for this time of year on the All Weather is to eliminate from consideration any horse that ran in the Dubai Carnival. My personal experience so far indicates that the form from Dubal does not translate, similar to that of Cheltenham form rarely translates into a good run at Aintree a few weeks later.
I relearned the lesson yesterday that Wolverhampton is a tight track and therefore draw berth is important. With that Mahadee has too be on the shortlist given his blistering form recently. The nagging doubt is that his recent wins were at Lingfield which is a different course configuration to the flat track of Wolverhampton. Can’t dismiss Redford who holds a group 3 entry in Ireland (turf) or Mia’s Boy who has a 126 day course absence but runs well fresh.
I’ll side with the value in a speculative punt on Souter´s Sister who looks the stranger in the field
Wolverhampton 3.25
The draw bias has been kind to the market leaders so there is a width of a fag paper difference between my opinion and the crowds. However with General Elliot out of the race, the pace is predicted to be slow and muddling. I smell and upset but I’ll cover myself just in case

Wolverhampton 4.35
I think we have a vulnerable favourite in Tiddliwinks given his wide draw. However THE big problem trying to find something to beat him. If there is the slightest of market drifts pre-race on Tiddliwinks then I’ll close my eyes for a point and shoot at Dubai Dynamo and maybe Thebes
