5.45 Wolverhampton, Friday, January 8
January 7th, 2016 | 
Author: The £10 Free at 32Red.com Handicap (5.45) at Wolverhampton is only a 0-60 contest, but features lesser lights from some leading yards and may prove quite competitive. The likes of David Evans, Richard Fahey and William Haggas all feature highly on the leaderboard for the All-weather Championship, but the one that takes our eye on this occasion is Dalalah, trained by Richard Guest.
The Exceed And Excel filly has yet to trouble the judge in five starts, but caught the eye when a fast-finishing seventh of 13, beaten 2¾ lengths, behind Hold On Magnolia over 6 furlongs at the West Midlands track 17 days and should appreciate stepping back up in distance. That was her first run for the West Yorkshire trainer, and her first since September, so she may be open to some improvement and has been dropped 2lb in the weights in the meantime.
She’s probably not one to go overboard about, but she showed definite signs of promise last time and can put her previous experience of the Tapeta surface to good use.
Selection: Wolverhampton 5.45 Dalalah to win
