Wolverhampton Tips: Sidewinder

Sidewinder enjoyed a dream run over course and distance 17 days ago, he’s drawn in stall 1 again and what’s to say things don’t pan out in a similar fashion.

Tom Dascombe’s gelding is still a maiden from 9 starts but last time out was a career best effort. He finished upsides some useful types in Gilgamesh and Tafaakhor and although he’s more exposed this represents a drop down in class.

Favoured by racing close to a steady early pace, he quickened well with the joint third fastest closing sectional and earned an adjusted speed rating of 79. He is better than a mark of 72 and against weaker opposition he can break his duck.
