The KTB Fit ranking

1. 1Warrior Mode KTB Selection62/100

   Form 0-3187 · Sir Mark Prescott Bt · Luke Morris

   Warrior Mode is a fair performer who has already won once at Wolverhampton from just two runs there. He drops back in trip today to a distance he has never tried, which asks a fresh question, while first-time headgear adds another unknown. The selection is usually held up and produces its effort late. Sir Mark Prescott and Luke Morris both have established records at the track that sit in line with or above their overall figures, with the trainer operating at 21% here from 1,122 runs and the jockey at 12% from 4,615 rides. He holds an official rating of 84 and his recent form reads 0-3187. He has won once from three starts on standard ground and the draw of four looks suitable for his run style.

2. 2Hauteluce61/100

   Form -13161 · Ed Walker · Ashley Lewis(3)

   Family: half-sister to Different Tone (1 win from 13 runs). The dam has had 2 other runners, 1 of them a winner.

   Hauteluce is a fair three-year-old who has won both starts at this track and both starts at today's trip. She also holds a solid record of three wins from four on standard going and arrives in decent form with three wins from her last five runs. Usually raced handily on or close to the lead, she is drawn in stall one which should help her secure a prominent position in this tactical affair. Ed Walker and Ashley Lewis hold 17% and 16% strike rates at Wolverhampton that sit in line with their records elsewhere. Her official rating is 81 and recent form reads -13161. Half-sister to Different Tone who won once from 13 runs, with the dam also producing one other winner from two runners, she steps up in class here.

3. 3Rastnet60/100

   Form 237406 · John Butler · Callum Rodriguez

   Rastnet is a fair performer who has won once from two starts at this track and holds an official rating of 81. He has won at today's trip though he drops back from 1m3f last time, while his record on standard going reads one win and four places from five runs. Typically settling in midfield, he should find a comfortable position in a race lacking an obvious leader. The trainer's 12% strike rate here from 879 runs sits in line with his overall record, as does the jockey Callum Rodriguez's 15% from 281 rides. Recent form reads 237406 and he is drawn in stall seven.

4. 4Tiger57/100

   Form 421280 · Ian Williams · Jason Watson

   Tiger is a fair performer who arrives in solid form having won twice and placed twice from his last six starts. He drops back in trip to a distance he has never tried while making his first start at Wolverhampton on standard ground where he is yet to place from two previous runs. Usually racing handily on or close to the lead, his prominent style should be an asset in this muddling pace shape. Trainer Ian Williams has a 12% strike rate here in line with his record elsewhere while jockey Jason Watson operates at 15% at the track in line with his overall figure. His official rating is 82 and recent form reads 421280. Drawn in stall eleven.

   Form 411370 · Joe Tickle · Taylor Fisher

It drops back in trip to an untried 1m1f today after its latest run over 1m6f, which poses a fresh question, while it remains unproven on standard going. Typically settling in midfield, it should be well placed to make a move as the race develops. The trainer has a 10% strike rate at Wolverhampton from 39 runs, in line with his record elsewhere, and the jockey matches that pattern with 12% from 172 rides here. Recent form reads 411370 and it is drawn in stall two. Dropping in class.
