There are two Class 4 handicaps at Wolverhampton on Friday, but both have attracted just five runners apiece so it may be best to concentrate elsewhere for the attractive betting propositions.

One of those may be MIRACLEOFTHEANDES in the first division of the 0-70 handicap over 6f at 3.16. Warren Greatrex’s filly was sent off 33-1 when making all on her AW debut over this course and distance in August, but there was no fluke about it. She has a 5lb rise to contend with, but the winning time was good so she may well be able to build on that, especially as this is only the 3yos seventh outing.

STAR OF MALI can take the 0-75 handicap over 7f at 4.55. James Tate’s gelding is usually seen at Southwell where he has won twice, the latest of those in June, but he finished runner-up in his only previous visit here. He could only manage fifth at ten at Southwell when last seen, but that was a stronger contest than this one and although he has been off for 67 days since then, is very much proven fresh.

Over at Newcastle PERFECT HOPE can gain a deserved success in the 0-65 nursery over 7f at 5.15. Like a few in this race, Tom Ward’s filly has plenty of recent place form to her name, but unlike many of her opponents she is proven on the AW. Two of her three runner-up finishes since switching to handicaps were achieved over this trip at Kempton in August and at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, where she was beaten just a nose. She has gone up another 2lb, but looked most unfortunate not to win last time and the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers may also give her a boost.

CORAMENTO can take the 0-65 handicap over 1m at 7.45. The gelding was back from a 181-day absence when successful on his first start back with his former trainer Ray Craggs over 7f here in July, but wasn’t quite at his best in a slightly better event over the same distance last month. The return to this trip is no problem for this dual course-and-distance winner and he is taken to bounce back. David Bellingham
