5:30 Wolverhampton (AW)

The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Boy Basilica KTB Selection55/100

   Form 6 · Richard Hughes · Billy Loughnane

   Boy Basilica showed only modest form when finishing sixth on his 7f debut. He now steps up in trip for a yard with a 16% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 517 runs, above their 13% elsewhere. Billy Loughnane takes the ride and the jockey holds a 20% strike rate at the track from 847 rides. The colt is drawn in stall 2 and his prominent run-style should be well suited to the muddling, tactical pace shape anticipated. Data confidence remains low given the small sample and he remains unproven on standard ground, yet he tops the KTB Fit ratings at 55 and is the selection.

2. 2Taran Bolta51/100

   Form 8 · Jonathan Portman · Rob Hornby

   Family: full brother to Thunderous Love (6 wins from 37 runs). The dam has had 3 other runners, 2 of them winners.

   Taran Bolta showed little on his 7f debut and now steps up markedly in trip for a race where the small sample makes any firm read difficult. The yard's 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton is in line with their record elsewhere while Rob Hornby has a 9% strike rate here from 134 rides. A full brother to Thunderous Love, whose dam has had three other runners including two winners, adds some pedigree interest. His held-up run-style means he will be ridden for a late effort in a muddling tactical race. With only one run on the board this remains very much unknown territory and he sits second in the KTB Fit scores on 51.

3. 3Renascent48/100

   Form 56 · Richard Hughes · Finley Marsh

   Renascent has shown only modest form in two starts to date and steps up in trip today for a yard that records a 16% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 517 runs, above their 13% at other tracks. Finley Marsh takes the ride while the trainer-jockey combination shows a 16% strike rate overall. Dropping in class is a positive and his prominent run-style, with medium confidence, should see him race handily in a race lacking an obvious leader. The going remains an unknown and the small sample means everything is read with caution, yet he registers a KTB Fit of 48.

4. 4Zeuster47/100

   Hughie Morrison · Oisin Murphy

   Family: half-brother to Sleep Easy (7 wins from 44 runs). The dam has had 8 other runners, 6 of them winners.

   Zeuster is a debutant whose pedigree offers some encouragement as a half-brother to Sleep Easy, who won seven times from 44 starts, while the dam has produced six winners from eight runners to race. Hughie Morrison operates at a 14% strike rate at Wolverhampton which sits in line with his overall record and Oisin Murphy takes the ride with a strong 22% strike rate at the track from 651 rides. Drawn widest of all in stall 13 of 13 the colt will need to overcome the outside post in a tactical race. With only pedigree and sales background to go on the picture remains tentative and he earns a KTB Fit of 47.

5. 5What A Go I've Had46/100

   Form 6 · Michael Appleby · Jason Watson

   What A Go I've Had showed only modest form when finishing sixth on debut over this trip at Kempton. The yard has an 11% strike rate at Wolverhampton which is in line with their record elsewhere and Jason Watson is aboard with a 15% strike rate at the track from 419 rides. His held-up run-style, with limited evidence, suggests he will be ridden for a late effort in what is likely to be a muddling pace. With just one run on the board and data confidence low this remains very much an unknown quantity stepping up in trip and he is rated 46 on KTB Fit.

6. 6Joseph Banks46/100

   Ed Dunlop · Rossa Ryan

   Family: the dam has had 4 other runners, none of them a winner.

   Joseph Banks is a debutant with no racecourse experience. The Ed Dunlop yard has a 14% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 849 runs which sits above their 12% at other tracks while Rossa Ryan takes the ride. Pedigree is modest with the dam producing four runners but no winners to date.

7. 7St Jude Of Galilee45/100

   Hughie Morrison · David Probert

   Family: half-brother to Seven Symphonies (1 win from 6 runs). The dam has had 2 other runners, 2 of them winners.

   St Jude Of Galilee is a newcomer whose half-brother Seven Symphonies won once from six starts while the dam has produced two winners from two runners to race. Hughie Morrison operates at a 14% strike rate at Wolverhampton which sits in line with his overall figure. David Probert has no provided record at the course so his local form remains unknown.

8. 8Arkenforce42/100

   Form 8 · Michael Appleby · Alistair Rawlinson

   Arkenforce showed little on debut when finishing eighth and now steps up in trip as a fresh question. The yard's 11% strike rate at Wolverhampton is in line with their record elsewhere. Data confidence is low on this lightly raced sort so read with caution.

9. 9True Impact40/100

   Form 89 · Jonathan Portman · Harry Davies

   Family: half-brother to Ville Natale (1 win from 8 runs). The dam has had 3 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

   True Impact has shown little in two starts so far and lines up here with a low data confidence rating. The trainer records a 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 405 runs which sits in line with his overall figure. He steps up in trip today as a fresh question while the half-brother to a modest winner offers only limited encouragement from the family.

10. 10White Rose Warrior39/100

    Craig Lidster · William Pyle

    Family: half-brother to Tempered Soul (1 win from 1 run). The dam has had 4 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

    White Rose Warrior is a debutant whose half-brother won his only start and whose dam has produced one winner from four other runners. The yard records a 5% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 75 runs, in line with their 9% at other courses. With low data confidence and a wide draw in stall 11 of 13 this is very much an unknown on debut.

11. 11Thai Boxer38/100

    Form 70 · Adrian Wintle · George Wood

    Family: the dam has had 1 other runner, not a winner.

    Thai Boxer has shown little in two runs to date and remains hard to assess with any confidence given the small sample. The yard records a 9% strike rate at Wolverhampton which sits in line with their overall figure. He steps up in trip today as a fresh question while drawn in stall 9 of 13.

12. 12Ardansoft36/100

    Form 00 · Ed Dunlop · Robert Havlin

    Family: the dam has had 2 other runners, none of them a winner.

    Ardansoft has shown little in two starts to date and steps up in trip as a fresh question today. The yard record a 14% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 849 runs which sits above their 12% at other tracks. Data confidence remains low given the small sample and modest family record.

13. 13Nil Satis Supreme33/100

    Form 80 · Mark Loughnane · Jonny Peate

    Family: full brother to Mr Baloo (9 wins from 45 runs). The dam has had 4 other runners, 3 of them winners.

    Lightly raced with just two runs and an 80 on his latest start, Nil Satis Supreme steps up from 7f to an untested 1m trip today which asks a fresh question. He showed little at this track on debut and remains hard to assess with such limited evidence. The trainer holds a 10% strike rate here from 1,891 runs, above his 7% at other courses, while the pedigree offers some encouragement as a full brother to useful winner Mr Baloo.
