TrackLab Insight
The top-rated horse in this field by 5lbs and fresh off a win at Leicester just seven days ago, Study Up arrives as one of the joint market favourites. The concern is that its best form has come on fast, dry ground, and it has never won on the normal conditions on offer today. Running again so quickly after a race can also take the edge off a horse.

Trainer Quotes
Apr 2025
"He's run only once but that was a very pleasing debut at Salisbury last July when he won by a length and three-quarters. He had a hold-up after that but he's training nicely and I'm looking forward to getting him back on the track. 17-04-25"

TrackLab Insight
The editorial tip for this race, and you can see why — his record specifically over this course and distance reads 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 3rd, and he finished just a length behind the winner here 15 days ago. He's been rated higher before and is back down to a mark he has won from, which is exactly the kind of angle that wins races like this.
Best record at this trip (1 from 5)

TrackLab Insight
Three consecutive top-three finishes at Wolverhampton — including a second and two thirds at today's track — show this horse is consistently competitive here without quite getting over the line. He's knocking on the door race after race, and at 7.5 he represents decent value for a horse clearly at home on this circuit.

TrackLab Insight
The second-highest rated horse in the field, but her last run was a 7th beaten nearly 40 lengths at Windsor — a sharp step back from her earlier placed efforts. She has shown she can compete at this track, finishing second here two months ago, but she has never won on a left-handed course in nine attempts, which is a significant red flag.
2nd highest rated (OR 60)

TrackLab Insight
This is the standout course specialist in the field — two wins from just five races at Wolverhampton is a genuinely impressive record that sets him apart from most rivals here. The major worry is that he ran here yesterday and finished fifth, so asking him to bounce back within 24 hours is a big ask for any horse.

Zero wins and zero places from four career races, and now returning after a seven-month absence — Luan is the least experienced horse in the field and arguably the biggest unknown. Until this horse shows something resembling competitive form, it is very hard to make a case for it in a race like this.

Two wins from just four races at Wolverhampton makes Roman Secret one of the most course-savvy horses in this field, and she won here as recently as 46 days ago at this exact trip. She also has the best win rate on normal ground of any runner today, and draws a low stall — all the ingredients point to a strong chance.

TrackLab Insight
A genuine course specialist with five wins at Wolverhampton from 37 races here — only Port Noir knows this track as well in today's field. The problem is she hasn't won here since finishing third 241 days ago, and at nine years old her recent form has been uninspiring.
One of few course winners (5 wins here)

TrackLab Insight
All three of this horse's career wins have come at Lingfield, and today's track is Wolverhampton — a very different venue where its record gives no encouragement. Back-to-back heavy defeats (7th and 10th) make this a difficult case to argue, and at 34-1 the market seems to agree.
One of the more successful in the field (3 career wins)
Compare Odds
TrackLab Insight
The most experienced horse in the field by a distance — 89 races compared to a field average of 28 — and a genuine Wolverhampton regular with six wins at the track. However, she finished last of 12 at Windsor just 10 days ago, and at nine years old the frequent racing takes its toll.

Sixteen races into her career and still searching for a first win, Shaws Phoenix is the joint-winless runner in this field alongside Luan. A 9th last time out at Southwell and a long absence before that offers very little encouragement that today is the day things change.
Winless from 16 career races

TrackLab Insight
The lowest-rated horse in the field — a full 9lbs below average — and her recent form reads 13th, 8th and 10th in her last three races. Her sole career win came over a shorter distance on different ground conditions, and there is very little in the data to suggest she can reverse that trend today.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
