Horse racing tips: Wolverhampton – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for the racing this Monday, April 2
Steve Mullen guides you through Monday's racing at Wolverhampton, after Plumpton, Chepstow, Fakenham and Market Rasen were all forced to abandon
WOLVERHAMPTON
LAST PAGE was good enough to finish fifth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last year so it’s a bit of a surprise that he is still a maiden.
That said, he was an excellent second on his comeback at Southwell last time and a repeat of that would see him go very close.
1.30
MIDNIGHTLY has a good draw and comes here with every chance of landing a hat-trick of wins. She had a neck to spare at Chelmsford last time after a more convincing success over course and distance.
A further 4lb rise in the weights shouldn’t put the brakes on.
2.00
KYLLACHY DRAGON improved with every race last season and signed off with a close second in a better race than this at York in October.
He has been gelded over the winter and should be capable of winning this.
2.35
SCRUTINY has run well on all three runs at Wolverhampton and was just a neck off the pace here last time out.
He has gone up just 2lb for that blanket finish against a couple of good performers at this level. The trip suits and he should be right there again.

3.10
BARTHOLOMEU DIAS was fourth in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot so it was a bit disappointing that he couldn’t win at Yarmouth when backed off the boards.
He’s been off since that August contest and this drop in class can see him get off the mark.
3.45
VALE OF KENT looked progressive when winning with plenty up his sleeve over course and distance last time out.
This 7f distance is ideal and a 3lb rise in the weights looks a little lenient given there’s a lot more to come.
4.20
PRINCE JAI was hampered by a poor draw here last time so did really well to finish second. He is a bit better off this time both from the stalls and at the weights.
This trip suits and he should go well in an open race.
