Wolverhampton Race 8 - Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
TIME TO TAKE OFF (3) First run back from a break. Charged home to win last time at Nottingham and having second career run. Jockey Rossa Ryan and trainer James Tate are a strong combination. Definite claims. MERLIER (2) Won by a huge margin of 3L last time at Newcastle but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. This suits. BURDETT ESTATE (1) First up after a break. Led from start to finish to win by a margin of 2L last time here and gets a favourable stall. Genuine threat. DOLO'S STAR (4) Basic showing when 5th last time at Newcastle but having second race start.

Back from a spell. Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by a margin of 2L last time at this venue and has a positive draw. Looks like a big chance.

Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 3L last time at Newcastle but going up in weight. Placed at every start this campaign. Competitive type.

Resuming after a break. Rocketed home when winning last time at Nottingham and was a debutant last start. Rossa Ryan and James Tate have a high strike rate together. Will attract plenty of interest.
