Two top racing picks from Steve Ryder for today’s Wolverhampton card.
5:30 Wolverhampton
Tip 1: How’s The Guvnor - 1pt
Best odds of 6/5 at William Hill while publishing.
The Jennie Candlish trained HOW’S THE GUVNOR (best priced at 6/5) did well to win from an uncompromising position over this course and distance last time and he should hold strong claims under a 5lb penalty. The five-year-old won at Southwell off a mark of 53 on his penultimate start before following up last time here despite stumbling at the start and having to swoop wide down the outside.
That victory can be upgraded as How’s The Guvnor kept on strongly at the finish to win by 1 ¼ lengths. The handicapper has raised him 8lbs so he is 3lbs “well in” under a 5lb penalty and he should hold strong claims of completing a hat-trick.

Tip 2: Eupator - 2pt
Best odds of 11/8 at bet365 while publishing.
Another horse chasing a hat-trick under a 5lb penalty is EUPATOR (best priced at 11/8) who has been transformed by a change of tactics over a shorter trip. The Richard Hannon trained four-year-old has relished making the running over a shorter trip at this track and has won his previous two races by wide margins under Sean Levey.
The handicapper raised Eupator 7lbs for that course and distance victory last time so he races here from 2lbs “well in” under a 5lb penalty. That makes him the one to beat in this 0-80 handicap with no other expected pace in the race.
