The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Woodstock KTB Selection67/100

   Form 241351 · Ruth Carr · Joanna Mason

   Woodstock is a fair performer who arrives in solid nick judged on recent form of 241351 and holds an official rating of 83. He has already won on his only previous visit to Wolverhampton and has won twice from seven starts at this trip while handling the standard surface with two wins from eight runs. The six-year-old is drawn in stall 12 and typically settles in midfield, a run-style that could prove well suited if the strong pace materialises as expected. The trainer operates at a 10% strike rate here from 880 runs in line with their record elsewhere and the jockey posts a 12% strike rate from 317 rides at the track also in line with her overall figure.

2. 2Yes I'm Mali63/100

   Form 521042 · David O'Meara · Billy Loughnane

   Yes I'm Mali is a fair performer who arrives in reasonable form having won at this trip and shown placed efforts on standard ground. The four-year-old is drawn in stall 13 of 13 which adds to the unknowns on his first visit to Wolverhampton. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, he could find himself in the thick of the strong early pace that is forecast. Trainer records a 12% strike rate here in line with his overall figure while jockey Billy Loughnane posts a 20% strike rate at the track which is above his general mark.

3. 3Starmade60/100

   Form -31508 · Ed Dunlop · Rossa Ryan

   Starmade is a fair 3-year-old with a solid recent record that includes a win and a third at this trip. He has won both starts on standard ground and arrives here in decent form off an official rating of 85 while dropping in class. Usually held up and producing his effort late, the colt's style looks ideally suited to the expected strong pace that could collapse in the closing stages. Trainer and jockey both hold above-average strike rates at Wolverhampton though this is the colt's first run at the track.

4. 4Brummell55/100

   Form 364325 · Julie Camacho · Ryan Sexton

   Brummell is a fair handicapper with a solid recent record that includes several placed efforts off this mark. He steps up from 5f to a trip he has won over before and has shown he handles standard going with two wins and four places from seven starts. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, he will need to be mindful of the strong pace that is likely to be set. The yard’s 8% strike rate at Wolverhampton is in line with their record elsewhere while this is his first run at the track.

5. 5The Thames Boatman54/100

   Form 452204 · Richard Hughes · Finley Marsh

   The Thames Boatman is a fair performer who has run creditably on his last two starts and holds an official rating of 81. He has won once from six runs at Wolverhampton and shows six wins from 25 starts on standard going while stepping up in class. Usually held up and producing his effort late, the six-year-old's style could be well placed if the front-runners go too hard early. The trainer posts a 17% strike rate here from 519 runs which is above their 13% at other tracks and the jockey records a 13% strike rate from 578 rides at the course in line with their 11% elsewhere.

6. 6Moving Force53/100

   Form 872336 · Mark Loughnane · Daniel Muscutt

   Moving Force is a fair performer who has run well at Wolverhampton on his last visit, finishing second over this trip. He has placed on standard ground and at today's distance without winning, and his recent form of 872336 shows consistent but not decisive efforts. The trainer's 10% strike rate here is above their record at other tracks while Daniel Muscutt takes the ride.

7. 7Lipsink52/100

   Form -20201 · Michael Appleby · Alistair Rawlinson

   Lipsink is a fair performer who has won two of his three starts at Wolverhampton and arrives in solid form after a win and two seconds from his last four runs. He steps up from 5f to a trip he has won at before though his record on standard ground is only modest with two wins from nine runs. The trainer’s 11% strike rate here is in line with his overall record while the jockey also operates at 11% at the track from 173 rides.

8. 8Kiniro51/100

   Form 837912 · Dan Horsford · Jason Watson

   Kiniro is a fair performer who arrives in decent nick after a recent win and a solid second. He has won three times at this trip though his record on standard ground is only modest and his sole run here produced a disappointing ninth. The trainer's 11 percent strike rate at Wolverhampton is matched by the jockey's 15 percent at the track.

9. 9Tan Rapido50/100

   Form 5-7881 · Charlie Fellowes · Paddy Bradley

   Tan Rapido is a fair performer who has shown consistent ability on this track with a second-place finish from two runs here.

11. 11Evening Blues48/100

    Form 572030 · Michael Herrington · Dylan Hogan

He has won on standard going from three attempts and the yard and jockey both record 10% strike rates at Wolverhampton that sit in line with their figures elsewhere.

12. 12Twilight Fun44/100

    Form 064826 · Chelsea Banham · Joey Haynes
