Wolverhampton Race 8 - Black Country Mental Health 50th Anniversary Hcp

NIFFLER (5) Solid effort when winning by 1L last time at Newcastle. Ultra competitive this preparation with 3 wins from as many runs. Luke Morris is a key engagement. Looks promising. SHOPAHOLIC (2) Faded away to finish 6th last run at Beverley. Giving another chance here and challenged by less formidable competitors. Can win this. BILLY BATHGATE (3) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last run at Newcastle and up against a less competitive field. Should get going late. Returning to a rise in trip. Can figure in the finish. AL'S RIVER (6) Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 3rd beaten by just over 15L last time at Leicester and facing an increased distance. Keep in mind.

Resuming after a spell. Started $126.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last run at Pontefract but will appreciate the drop in grade. Shows good early pace. Simply cannot have today.

Was $3.25 and folded up in the straight when 6th last run at Beverley. Giving another chance here and facing less formidable opponents. Gets a solid chance here.

Solid effort to run into 3rd beaten by close to 16L last run at Newcastle and matched against less formidable competition. Finishes off strongly. Going back up in distance. Can lift.

Fresh from a spell. Came in 2nd last time at Nottingham and drawn nicely. Gina Mangan and Fergal Obrien are a strong duo. Has a great burst of speed late. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by more than 15L last time at Leicester and going up in trip. Could feature prominently.
