Our resident tipster has a short priced fancy from each meeting today.

EMENEM’s (NAP) (best price 11-4) current mark will always leave him vulnerable to an improving type, but as there doesn’t appear to be anything in that category here this afternoon, Simon Dow’s inmate rates a solid bet to find his way back into the winner’s enclosure. Third in a solid race on the figures over today’s C&D two starts ago, the son of Sir Percy once again ran right up to his best form when runner-up to Battle Of Marathon in a similar contest at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and a repeat of either performance should see him bang on the premises at a track he clearly enjoys.
18.50 Wolverhampton
MR CHRISTOPHER (best price 7-2) was desperately unlucky to get picked off the rapidly-improving Malaspina at Southwell last time out, but that effort breeds confidence that he can gain compensation returning to a track where he’s a four-time course winner. Cutting out the running is typically tenacious fashion, the Bahamian Bounty gelding looked to have burnt off his rivals at the East Midland track 11 days ago, but despite giving it all he’d got inside the final furlong, the late thrust of the eventually winner was just too much to contain. He did, however, pull nicely clear of the rest and with the time figure very good for the grade and the fourth home, Bold Spirit, going on to boost the form subsequently, the five-year-old should make a bold attempt to back up that tremendous performance.
