The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Sea of Charm KTB Selection61/100

   Form 763224 · Georgina Nicholls · Rob Hornby

   Sea of Charm is a limited performer who has won twice here from 14 starts but is now on a long losing run. He steps up to 1m6f for the first time in two years having shown his best recent form over 1m4f, with his recent figures reading 763224. The 8-year-old, drawn in stall 5, tends to make the running or race on the pace and will be right up there from the outset in a race where the pace is set to be strong. Georgina Nicholls has a 12% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 33 runs while Rob Hornby posts a 10% strike rate from 794 rides at the track; both figures sit in line with their records elsewhere. He holds a record of 3 wins from 21 starts on standard ground and is the KTB Selection.

2. 2Percy Jones60/100

   Form 442336 · Mark Loughnane · Billy Loughnane

   Percy Jones is a modest performer who has won four times at this track from 14 runs and has also won at today's trip. His recent record of 442336 is solid and he brings four wins from 20 starts on standard ground. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead with high confidence, the 7-year-old is drawn in stall 3 and should be well placed to track the strong pace. Mark Loughnane records a 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 1895 runs which is above his 7% at other courses, while Billy Loughnane posts a 20% strike rate here from 855 rides which is also above average. Dropping in class, he is entitled to be thereabouts.

3. 3Captain Cairney56/100

   Form 511243 · William Muir & Chris Grassick · Lewis Edmunds

   Captain Cairney is a modest performer who has been busy this year and showed his best form when winning twice on the AW earlier in the season. He has won at today's trip and holds a solid record on standard going with 2 wins from 5 starts and 3 placed efforts. Tending to make the running or race on the pace with high confidence, the 3-year-old is drawn in stall 4 and will be prominent in a race with a strong pace likely. His only previous run here resulted in a modest sixth. William Muir & Chris Grassick and Lewis Edmunds both operate at their typical level on this track with respective strike rates of 15% and 11%.

4. 4Ottoman50/100

   Form 1551U4 · Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero · Hollie Doyle

   Ottoman is a modest performer who has won once in three runs at Wolverhampton and holds an official rating of 61. He has shown ability on standard going with one win and a placing from three starts but has failed to place in two runs at this trip. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, the 4-year-old is drawn widest in stall 9 and will need to overcome that position in a strongly-run race. Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero's 7% strike rate here is in line with their record elsewhere while Hollie Doyle's 14% strike rate matches her overall figure at the track. Dropping in class, he cannot be entirely ruled out.

5. 5That Darn Cantor47/100

   Form 643421 · Ed Dunlop · Cieren Fallon

   That Darn Cantor is a modest performer who arrives in decent nick after a win and a second on his last two starts. He steps up to 1m6f for the first time which asks a fresh question of him, while this is also his first run at Wolverhampton. Usually held up and producing his effort late, he could be suited by the strong pace. Ed Dunlop has a 14% strike rate here from 851 runs which is above his 12% at other courses.

6. 6Fiefdom43/100

   Form 654044 · S. P. C. Woods · Luke Morris

   Family: half-brother to Persian Land (1 win from 8 runs). The dam has had 4 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

   Fiefdom is a modest performer who has shown only fair form in six starts and finished no better than fourth on his two visits to this track. Half-brother to Persian Land (1 win from 8 runs) and from a dam who has had 4 other runners including 1 winner, he drops back from 2m today which asks a fresh question. The yard has an 18% strike rate here from 230 runs which is above their 12% at other courses while Luke Morris posts a 12% strike rate from 4,624 rides at Wolverhampton which is also above his 10% elsewhere. The small sample on the surface leaves going suitability unknown.

7. 7Dijon Gone41/100

   Form 876264 · Denis Coakley · Olivia Tubb(5)

   Dijon Gone is a limited performer who has shown little progress across nine runs and arrives here with recent form of 876264. He has run just once at Wolverhampton and once at this trip, finishing fourth on the former without placing on either occasion, while he is also winless in two starts on standard ground.

8. 8Choir Boy36/100

   Form 55-476 · Antony Brittain · Cam Hardie

   Family: half-brother to Espionage, a Listed winner (2 wins from 5 runs). The dam has had 5 other runners, 2 of them winners.

Half-brother to Espionage, a Listed winner (2 wins from 5 runs) and from a dam who has had 5 other runners including 2 winners, he steps up markedly in trip today and that remains an open question. The yard and jockey both have above-average strike rates at Wolverhampton.

9. 9Angel Breeze31/100

   Form 09-37 · Lemos De Souza · Laura Coughlan(3)

   Family: half-sister to Berkshire Breeze (2 wins from 10 runs). The dam has had 1 other runner, a winner.
