Won a couple over this trip at Dundalk in December, prior to joining current trainer. Beaten just ½L from 1lb lower at Lingfield last time and entitled to enter calculations if he acts on Tapeta.

Has run well here in defeat previously, though all three AW wins have come on Southwell's Fibresand. Not the force that he was in 2016 and now 18lb lower than his last win. Recent efforts have not suggested that a revival is imminent.

Was beaten just ½L over C&D in a similar race in December, when 4lb lower. Not disgraced from today's mark at Chelmsford (7f) last time. Has the inside draw, though will still need to raise his game to take maximum advantage.

Inconsistent, but put behind him some poor form with a shock 66-1 win over C&D last time out in first-time headgear combi that is retained here. Top pilot now on board for repeat bid from 3lb higher and not ruled out.

In good form of late, going close over both 1m1½f here as well as C&D, winning over C&D two starts ago from 4lb lower and another respectable effort in better company last time. Good draw here and again has claims.

0-12 on the All Weather, but goes well here and was beaten just a head from this mark in a slightly better contest last time. Wide draw to contend with but that aside she enters calculations on an each-way basis at the very least.

Scored over C&D last June from a 2lb higher mark. However, out of form since the summer, with little encouragement from his last four starts and he is not easy to fancy at present.

6lb higher today than when recording his sole success at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in June. Ran well enough on turf from this mark next time, though well held over 1m back at Lingfield latest and from same mark/wide draw others are preferred.

Won twice over C&D last spring, the latter from 2lb higher. Arrives in decent form with three similar recent efforts under his belt, so has to enter calculations.

Ended a drought going back to summer 2016 when scoring in basement grade over C&D two starts ago from 2lb lower. Never involved at this level last time and has a bit to prove again after that.

14:45 Wolverhampton - 28 February 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Lord Murphy comes here in decent form and looks an obvious contender again with Richard Kingscote booked, though marginal preference is for CRITICAL THINKING, who acts well over C&D, has a better draw and is also likely to be able to produce a similar effort to those that have seen him very competitive just lately. Scrutiny is respected in opposition, while Beatbybeatbybeat is another with claims.
