Wolverhampton Tips: Partner

With Island Legend in the line-up for the 4.55 Wolverhampton we are guaranteed a sound gallop, given that he’s one of the speediest front-runners at this level. That should set-up the race for closers like Partner.

Last time out he looked an unlucky loser at Catterick, getting no sort of run along the nearside rail, but still finishing only 4.75 lengths behind the winner. It was a good performance considering he wouldn’t have liked the heavy ground and was racing two grades higher than he is today.

Previously he ran a big race at Wolverhampton, finishing second when neither the pace nor the distance suited him.

Reverting to his optimum trip of 5f, with a strong pace to chase, he looks a likely winner at 9/2 with Blue Square.
