Wolverhampton: Great State

Has won twice in nine starts but still well handicapped off a mark of 74. Drawn wide and paid the price at Wolverhampton but strong closing sectional suggests there is more to come.

Is 4-6 on the all-weather and last run best forgotten when trying to force a strong pace from a wide draw. Has stall 1 and should get a better trip and previously was progressive on all-weather.

Finished behind two of these a week ago but didn't get a clear run when using the cut-away and lost a shoe in the process. Won over course and distance a year ago off a 3lbsigher mark.

Has fallen to a competitive handicap mark and was not beaten far in a class 4 handicap over course and distance this time last year.

Showed potential when trying to chase down Annaf on her debut, letting the winner get first run and cede racecourse experience. Returned from long break to finish second at Windsor.

David O'Meara has 23% strike rate in claimers and connections have found a weak contest. Starshiba struggles to win but has run well this season and they don't get any easier than this.
