Not disgraced on first of 2 starts on Flat for Mick Appleby during the spring but never threatened over hurdles for Richard Newland thereafter. Starts out for another new yard now.

15/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) 21 days ago, weakening final 1f. Mark has eased a little more and return to all weather may help.

16/1
10/1, last of 10 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, pulling hard and folding tamely. A stronger gallop here will suit ideally and she'd previously gone close at this venue.

50/1, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, heavy) 14 days ago, paying for a big-race move early in the straight. Eased 2 lb since and not discounted for each-way purposes.

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 on handicap debut at Salisbury (12f) when last seen in April. Changed hands for 11,000 gns in July and market may prove a good guide now.

3/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, not clear run over 1f out but noted staying on. Still unexposed at this sort of trip and fancied to be in the mix.

15:55 Wolverhampton - 8 November 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A wide-open finale with the narrow vote in favour of HOLY BEE. She was far from disgraced when fourth in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and, with the prospect of a little more to come, she could be worth siding with. Thunder Flash is most consistent and feared back up in trip. Grand Pianola and True Romance complete the shortlist.

  1. HOLY BEE (IRE)
  2. THUNDER FLASH
  3. GRAND PIANOLA
