RAY GUN (8.30 Wolverhampton, nap).
Father and daughter team Jamie and Saffie Osborne teamed up to strike with this three-year-old on handicap debut at Kempton last week. He had plenty in hand crossing the line and looks hard to stop up a 6lb penalty. The family team can celebrate another victory with plenty of improvement to come from this 135,000 euro buy.
SARAFINA MSHAIRI (7.30 Wolverhampton, nb)
Looked a winner in waiting when beaten less than a length here last time. That was over 6f but she showed loads of pace so this drop back to the minimum looks a good idea. Excellent claimer Jack Doughty is good value for the 3lb he takes off my fancy’s back.

Loves the mud so should be right at home today. He was much improved in testing conditions at Wetherby latest and a 3lb rise in the weights gives him every chance of going one better.
