20:25 Wolverhampton (AW) — Free Bets On attheraces.com Handicap model predictions

Hedge Fund (IRE)

0%

Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added.

Spendmore Lane (GB)

0%

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

True Promise (GB)

0%

Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts.

Curious Rover (IRE)

0%

Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear.

Dark Kestrel (IRE)

0%

C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor.

Ancient State (IRE)

0%

Looked ahead of his mark in first three 5f wins on the AW, most recently at Southwell in March; missed a beat at the start and only just failed to reel in the more prominently ridden Spendmore Lane at Lingfield since; raised a further 3lb but still has potential.

Mick's Spirit (GB)

0%

Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative.

Jojo Rabbit (GB)

0%

Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away.

Blue Force (IRE)

0%

Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely.
